prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual
1.10 General Description
The IEI prox.pad Proximity Reader/Keypad Door Access Control provides card and/or keypad access control for a single door. You
can install the unit either in a one-stage configuration, or a higher security, two-stage (or “remote”) configuration.
In the “secure” (or remote) configuration, you can detach the antenna and mount it up to a maximum of 10 feet away from the main
prox.pad unit. For installation details, see section 1.16.3.
The prox.pad is compatible with all HID proximity cards, up to 40 bit format. You can program cards either by presentation (up to 40
bit) or through batch programming without presenting the cards (only for 26-bit HID cards). All programming is performed using the
built-in keypad on the unit.
In standalone mode, the following four user types are available in the prox.pad unit:
●
0-Toggle/latch lock
●
1-Normal access
●
2-log Dump
●
3-Lockout
In standalone mode, the unit can store up to 2000 users and 1000 transaction events, which can both be transmitted via the IR LED for
collection by the optional Data Collection Device for reporting purposes.
The unit is equipped with a lock release main relay and an auxiliary relay, which you can program for alarm shunt, forced door or
propped door access control functions.
1.11 Operating Modes
During initial installation, the installer programs the prox.pad unit for one of three operating modes, “Standalone,” “Wiegand Front
End,” or “Secured Series Front End.” Only one operating mode can be selected at any one time. If you plan to use Standalone mode
(the default, out-of-the-box, mode), no programming is required.
In “Standalone” mode (Chapter 2), all the access control decisions are made by the prox.pad unit. The unit operates entirely on its
own. The unit contains a main relay for controlling the locking device and a programmable auxiliary relay for access control functions
such as alarm shunt, forced door and propped door. The unit has an input for a door position switch and a request to exit (REX)
device. The prox.pad stores all transactions the transactions locally in memory and has an IR LED for dumping the transaction event
log to the Data Collection Device. You can use the device as a keypad, card reader or combination to gain access.
In “Wiegand Front End” mode (Chapter 3), the prox.pad is used as front end for a Wiegand access control panel. No access control
decision are made in the prox.pad. The Wiegand data is just sent to the Wiegand control panel. The panel then makes all access
control decisions and controls the prox.pad LEDs. You can use it as a keypad or a card reader. The keypad data is only sent as 26-Bit
card data, but the card reader just passes the data from the card to the panel. You can use up to 40-Bit HID format cards.
In “Secured Series Front End” mode, the prox.pad unit is used as a front end with an IEI Secured Series Door Control Module. Either
standard 26-bit or Corporate 1000 prox cards can be used during Secured Series mode. No other format cards can be used. The PIN
data is extracted from these card types and sent to the Secured Series Door Control Module for verification (for details, see Chapter 4).
In all operating modes, the prox.pad unit maintains programmability so that prox.pad system parameters can be set. The default
factory setting during programming is for the unit to “time out” after 45 seconds of inactivity.
