The inside handle is permanently engaged with the latch. The external handle is free to 

move and is only engaged once access has been granted.

Presenting a valid user card to the unit will cause the Green LED to flash briefly and 

the handle will then engage (default 4 seconds).  The unit will bleep during this time to 

advise the user that access has been permitted.  This default time can be changed with 

the program cards.

Presenting an invalid or barred card will cause the Red LED to flash rapidly and a low 

tone to be heard.  No access will be granted.

If activity around the reader is sensed but no card read takes place (e.g. a non Paxton 

card) the Red LED will flash 3 times.

ALARMS - The handle must be horizontal to operate the latch.  If it is not horizontal 

when a valid card is presented,  the LED will flash Amber until the handle is again 

horizontal when the latch will then release. 

If the handle is held down after use, stopping the latch disengaging correctly,  the LED 

will flash Red until the handle is again horizontal.
