Siting the External Prox Reader
Do site the External Prox Reader:
At a convenient height and location for the user.
Out of sight of potential intruders.
Note that the external prox reader is fitted with a
length of 2m of the appropriate cable. The cable
can be extended up to 50m by connecting an
additional length of 7/0.2 un-screened alarm
cable.
Do NOT site the External Prox Reader:
Next to electronic equipment, particularly
computers, photocopiers or other radio
equipment, CAT 5 data lines or industrial mains
equipment.
Note: Do not site the external prox reader closer
than one meter to any other kind of prox reader
(for example an i-kp01, KEY-KPZ01/KP01 or
another external prox reader). If you do so then
the prox readers will interfere and be unable to
read tags.

1. Undo the single retaining screw.
2.Tilt the edge of the fixing plate and then slide it a
short distance parallel to the body of the prox
reader.
3. Slide the fixing plate away from the reader
body, along the cable.

Fit External Prox Reader
Use M4 25mm countersunk screws at both fixing
holes when mounting the back of the keypad on
the wall. Ensure the screw has a thread suitable
for the wall material.
Connecting Remote Prox Reader to
Keypad
Segregate the external prox reader cable from
any other wiring such as mains supply cables,
telephone cables, computer network cables and
R.F. cables. Use cable ties to keep cables
separated.
Keep the prox reader cable clear of cables
supplying sounders or extension loudspeakers.
Figure 29 shows the wiring connections at the
