1. Introduction 

The Visonic Technologies AXS-10 is an electronic access control 
system designed for a single access point, such as a main door in an 
apartment building or individual office doors. The system control unit 
relay activates a lock or electromagnetic strike (EMS), when a valid 
proximity key (tag or card) is presented to the reader located outside 
the protected area. 

The use of a proximity (non-contact) key makes the installation of the 
AXS-10 system an attractive possibility in harsh environments and in 
places with poor lighting conditions. The proximity keys are totally 
sealed and are wear resistant. The reader reads the key’s ID, 
whenever the key is presented. 

A second proximity reader may be connected to the AXS-10 to control 
both sides of a door. An optional magnetic stripe card reader may be 
connected instead of a proximity reader. 

The separate weatherproof readers provide added security and 
flexibility allowing outdoor or indoor installation. 

The AXS-10 control unit (see figure 1) includes a 3-digit display, 3 
visual indicators (LEDs) and 4 buttons. An internal proximity reader 
located in the upper right corner of the control panel allows fast and 
easy programming of access keys. The buttons are used for entering 
the password and for programming the unit. 

AXS-10 controllers can be networked (see par. 4.5.).

Figure 2 - System Components 

The AXS-10 has a memory capacity of 300 keys. Adding keys simply 
involves presenting new keys to the controller while the system is in 
ADD mode.  

The user can delete keys in the DELETE mode by presenting them to 
the reader or, if a tag/card is not available, by typing in its number (the 
same one that appears when adding the key). 

When the system is in TOGGLE mode, presenting a valid tag 
arms/disarms an alarm system or activates/deactivates an electrical 
device (such as an air conditioner). 

The AXS-10 kit includes:

 

  AXS-10 controller  

  RDR-3 proximity reader with 1m (3 ft) 5-wire cable 

 Installation instructions 

 User guide 

  Control unit base template, for wall installation 

Additional tools and equipment that may be needed: 

  Proximity tags or cards (ordered separately) 

  Power supply for the controller - 12V AC/DC 

  Electromagnetic strike (EMS) unit 

  RTE (request-to-exit) push button or PIR, if required.
