Standalone System
Standalone systems
EHL can supply and install the following Paxton standalone
systems, satisfying both low and medium-high security
applications.
Compact system
A standalone solution where all of the control electronics are
in the keypad or reader. Compact systems are an easy to administer
and cost-effective means of controlling access to a building.
However, as the control electronics are all housed in the reader or
keypad this type of system is not recommended for exterior or high
security interior doors. Compact systems are available in a choice
of TOUCHLOCK keypads, PROXIMITY readers or CARDLOCK (magstripe)
readers.
Access is gained by using a code or PIN with a keypad, or by
presenting a valid token to readers. Simple token management using
our token packs makes administration straightforward.
Compact systems can be fitted to one door or many doors in a
building. Additional doors may be added as required.
Key features:
- 10,000 users (PROXIMITY & CARDLOCK), up to 50 codes
(TOUCHLOCK)
- Simple token management
- Scaleable; systems can be added to easily
- Available as PROXIMITY, magstripe (CARDLOCK) or keypads
(TOUCHLOCK)
Typical applications:
- Small business premises
- Sports clubs
- Any low-risk internal door
- Apartment complexes
- Storage units
Switch2 system
A standalone solution, which uses a separate control unit for
higher security. The Switch2 control unit is housed on the inside
or safe side of the door. The control unit is used in conjunction
with a Paxton Access reader or keypad. This provides higher
security than a compact system. Switch2 is the standalone solution
for external and higher security internal doors.
Switch2 systems are available with a choice of PROXIMITY or
CARDLOCK (magstripe) readers or TOUCHLOCK keypads. Switch2 has a
larger range of compatible readers than Compact and may also be
used with a combined keypad/proximity reader. Access is gained by
using a code or PIN with a keypad, or by presenting a valid token
to readers. Simple token management using our token packs makes
administration straightforward.
Switch2 systems can be fitted to one or many doors in a
building. Additional doors may be added as required.
If you are choosing a standalone system but may want to upgrade
to a PC based system in the future, Switch2 is the right choice.
Only the control unit would need to be replaced. Readers and other
hardware are compatible with both systems.
Key features:
- 10,000 users (PROXIMITY & CARDLOCK), up to 50 codes
(TOUCHLOCK)
- Separate control unit and reader (high security)
- Simple token management
- Scaleable; systems can be added to easily
- Relay output
- Available as PROXIMITY, magstripe (CARDLOCK) or keypads
(TOUCHLOCK)
Typical applications:
- Small business premises
- Sports clubs
- Schools
- Apartment complexes
- Storage units
- Sites requiring high security
- Carpark barriers
Administration
The administration of both Compact and Switch2 systems is
identical.
TOUCHLOCK keypads:Once installed a code is set and given to
authorized users. Users gain access by entering this code into the
keypad, the door unlocks and they are granted access. Codes may be
changed on a regular basis to maintain security. The change needs
to be made at each door.
PROXIMITY and CARDLOCK:You will be supplied with a pack of user
tokens. The system is commissioned with the enrolment card, which
is in the token pack. The enrolment card gives the reader a unique
identity code. All of the user tokens in the pack are immediately
valid. A token is issued to the user. The user gains access by
presenting the token to the door reader, the door unlocks and they
are granted access.
The token packs contain a shadow card, which is the 'twin' of
the user token. When the user token is issued the name of the
person should be written on the shadow card. In the event of a user
token being lost or stolen, the shadow card is taken from the pack
and presented to all of the door readers on the site. This
immediately bars the lost user token. If found and presented to a
reader it will not grant access. If required, the token may be
reinstated onto the system by using the enrolment card.
More sophisticated features:
In addition to only allowing authorized people to enter a
building, our standalone PROXIMITY and CARDLOCK systems can
restrict access to a particular area to a specified group of users.
This is called 'controlling access by colour zone'.
