AXS-5 / AXM-5
Single-Door Proximity Access Control Systems
Installation Guide
Introduction
AXS-5/AXM-5 is an access control system designed for a single door.
AXM-5 is a smaller, mullion-design version of AXS-5.
The AXS-5/AXM-5 includes proximity tags/cards reader and a control
unit in the same housing. Proximity tags/cards are used as electronic
keys for opening a door in the secured area.
When a valid proximity tag/card is presented to the reader, the
system sends an unlock signal to the door, for a short period, to
enable entering the secured area (see fig. 2).
The AXS-5/AXM-5 memorizes a master key plus 25 keys. It is
supplied with 6 free proximity tags (Tag-1 type) and 2 screws.
Additional proximity tags and cards can be purchased separately.
Proximity cards with any picture, logo etc., can be purchased
according to the purchaser desire.

The AXS-5 and AXM-5 are totally protected against dust & water and
are shock/impact protected - they are potted in epoxy resin.
The system is powered by an external 12 VDC power supply. The
EMS (Electro-Magnetic Door Strike) is energized with 12 VDC when a
valid key is presented.
If a Request To Exit feature is required, an additional adapter (ADP-5)
can be added to the system, to enable manual door opening inside
the secured area (by using EXIT button) or automatic opening (by
using IR motion detector). A backup battery can be connected to the
ADP-5, to enable operation when power fails.
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).

Important Notes
1.
When installing more than one AXS-5/AXM-5, the distance
between them should be at least 60 cm (2 ft.), to ensure
proper operation.
2.
The maximum power output of the AXS-5/AXM-5 is
12VDC/500 mA. If using a locking device with higher power
requirements, please use a separate relay and power supply
3.
Do not install the AXS-5/AXM-5 on a metal surface or a
metal door frame, since this decreases the read range
significantly. If you have to install the reader on a metal
surface, use a spacer so that the reader will be at least 1
cm (3/8 in.) away from the metal. You should use RDR-
BACK (for AXS-5, can be purchased separately, white or
brown, according to its color) or RDM-BACK (for AXM-5,
supplied with each AXM-5) that are optional spacers made
specifically for this purpose.
