Hands free interface
The hands free system increases the eective read range of a standard Paxton P or KP series reader. Standard
tokens use the readers radio eld to power the token but hands free tokens have a battery and so only require
a much weaker signal to be activated.
The system comprises of a compatible reader (see read range table), a hands free interface and hands free
tokens (keycard or keyfob). The system operates by using the reader to wake up the battery powered token
which then communicates with the interface and its long range receiver aerial.
Existing P and KP readers can be used without modication. The hands free interface takes its power from the
control unit and therefore does not require a power supply.
Hands free tokens also include a standard PROXIMITY ID chip and can therefore be presented to any
compatible proximity reader whether they are using the hands free interface or not.
What is hands free?
Before you install
Read in, read out
When using in and out readers, users may be picked up by both readers as they
move through the door which will reduce the reliability of any roll call or anti-
Positioning readers
Hands free readers should be positioned so that their transmission elds do not overlap. (see table on
back page for typical hands free ranges)
For example, the minimum distance between a P200 and a P50 reader should be 3.6 m (P200 hands free
range = 2.5 m + P50 hands free range = 1.1 m)
For optimum keyfob battery life please choose your reader location carefully
to avoid placing it within hands free range of work stations, rest or smoking
areas.
Positioning the interface
The interface should be positioned as close as practical to the reader. A distance from interface to reader of
10 to 15 meters can be achieved but wireless technology is susceptible to environmental factors and so if
problems are experienced it may be necessary to move the interface closer to the reader.
The hands free interface should not be housed in a metal enclosure as it contains the main receiver aerial.
Sticky feet allow the interface to be stuck to the ACU wiring label in a PSU plastic housing.

Wiring
Using an entry conrm button
Where more than one door interface can pick up the hands free token, a 'push to make' button can be
used to select the required door. Where tted, the LED on a conrm button will ash for 5 seconds after
the hands free token has been recognised and must be pressed to unlock the door.
Once an entry conrm button has been tted to the interface PCB, perform the following sequence:
1. Power down the interface board.
2. Power up the interface board.
3. Press and hold the entry conrm button for a minumum of 3 seconds within 60 seconds of power up.
To disable the use of the button, repeat the above sequence.

Connection to a control unit

Readers can be extended using Belden CR9540 10-core overall screened cable to a maximum of 100
metres.
Cable extensions
Firmware download
Hands free rmware for the P series reader will be downloaded from the interface to the reader as soon as
it is powered up. This is indicated by ashing amber and red LED's on the reader. Once complete all LED's
will be lit.
This may take up to 10 minutes to complete. Do NOT disconnect power during the rmware update.
If the rmware update is still taking place after 10 minutes then remove and then re-connect the ACU
cable. Listen to the reader, the reader should NOT beep. If the reader beeps within approximately 10
seconds of power up it will not take the rmware update. Repeat the process until the reader does NOT
'beep' on power up. Then leave for 10 mins to allow the update to take place.
Installation
No additional power supply is required for this installation. Power is supplied by the ACU reader port.
Complete the wiring between the P series reader, the hands free module and the ACU before powering up
the ACU. This will ensure that the reader rmware is recongured for hands free operation.
Changing frequency channel
If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor reader positioning,
adjacent interfering 125 kHz or 2.4 GHz equipment, e.g. an adjacent wireless PC network. Please refer to the
'Before you install' information regarding unit locations.
If you are still unable to improve the system performance then you may try an alternative 2.4 GHz channel using
Switch 1. The system has 16 channels available. (Unless keycard SW2 is selected) The frequency switch is set to
E (channel 25) but this can be changed using a small at blade screwdriver. Take care not to contact the circuit
board with the screwdriver blade as this may damage components. Power cycle the unit after any changes.

Hands free keyfobs
These tokens should be assigned to users as per standard keyfobs. They will then operate with standard
Paxton readers or via a hand free setup when in range.
Hands free keycards
Keycards should rst be assigned to users as per the hands free keyfob.
To enable the buttons, the keycard must rst be presented to the P series reader and then used in hands free
mode. The keycard stores the details of this interface and can then activate the door using a button.
A keycard can be used in normal hands free mode and also in local passive mode with other Paxton readers.
Switch SW2 is used to select the xed channels used by the two keycard buttons. Select either switch 1 or 2
to set which keycard button the interface will respond to.
The unit must be power cycled if the switch position is changed to activate the new setting.
1 - Hands Free - The read range is very poor - Where is the best position for the hands free interface?
Mount the interface within 15 m of the reader. The wireless signal will not travel through metal or water and
will be inuenced by building features and other 2.4 GHz wireless sources, including WiFi networks and DECT
phones. The ideal location is to provide a 'line of sight' to approaching card users. Avoid putting the interface
where metal objects, (e.g. wire fences, vehicles, etc.) can block the signal. If it is to be used outside, it should
be contained with a plastic weatherproof box. Do not use metal.
Q
When attaching to a post, the interface should not be xed behind the metal backplate used to mount the
reader. If used from a vehicle, a high position is desirable to provide a path through the vehicle glass from
keycard/fob to the hands free interface.
2 - Keycards - Can I improve the read range on curved driveways?
It is possible to parallel two or more hands free interface units onto the same ACU reader port, increasing the
coverage area.The keycard will choose one to communicate with each time it is used. See also: AN1091 - How
to achieve the best read range with hands free equipment < http://paxton.info/867 >
3 - How do I set up the Keycard Buttons?
Q
The keycard must rst be read in hands free mode by the interface without pressing any buttons. Ensure that
no other handsfree devices are in the range of the reader. If the card does not enrol, come out of the reader
range for at least 2 seconds. The keycard has two buttons - each can store multiple interface addresses in its
memory.
4 - Hands Free - Keycard button problems
Correct practice for using the keycards:
- Press button rmly once - Do not press the button again within 2 seconds - Avoid multiple button presses in
succession as this may overrun the output buer of the interface locking it for 10 seconds.
- Point the Keycard in the direction of the interface - Avoid pressing a button when not in line of sight with
the interface.
Ensure switch SW2 on the Hands Free Interface is set to the correct position for the button being used (1 or
2).
5 - Net2Air - What does this mean?
Net2Air is a term used to describe the wireless communication protocol used by Paxton products in much
the same way as Bluetooth. The Net2Air protocol is not open, only Paxton products can use this technology.
6 - If you power cycle the reader, the hands free token does not always read.
Hands free tokens have features to extend battery life. These include a block on repeated reads at the same
door whilst the keyfob remains in range. If the token is read at power up, it must be moved out of range
before it will be read again.
