ACT 5e prox Operating and Installation Manual Rev 1.0
Installation Notes
•Remember to Factory Default the ACT 5e prox before programming.
•Remember to place the supplied varistor across the terminals of the door strike coil to protect
the relay contacts.
•Don’t mount the ACT 5e prox unit near RF sources (e.g. mobile phones, radio transmitters, etc)
or metal surfaces.
•Never use the on-board relay to switch AC mains voltage. An external relay, electrically
isolated from the ACT 5e prox, should be used for this purpose.
•Remember to change the programming code.
•When ordering new cards or fobs specify ACTRFID. (Note: ACT 5e prox will NOT work with
HID cards or fobs.)
Important
As with any Access Control system, always ensure there is an alternate means of escape in the
event of the unit failing to operate due to power loss or in the event of fire.

ACT 5e prox Operation
The ACT 5e prox is a simple, easy-to-use access control unit combining digital keypad and
proximity technology. The unit supports up to 50 users, each with a unique PIN code and proximity
card/fob. Each unit is contained in rugged polycarbonate housing, with stainless steel keys and
potted electronics, allowing for indoor and outdoor installation. Keypad backlighting enhances the
ACT 5e prox functionality at night or in poor light conditions.
Programming the unit is achieved via the keys, LED and buzzer. Cards and PIN codes can be
programmed into the ACT 5e prox very quickly. ACT recommends that Users and their
associated PIN and Card are recorded in the User List at the end of the manual. Make copies
of this sheet and enter each Users details on it. This will allow users to be deleted later on, even if
a card is lost or a user forgets their PIN code. Blank User Details forms can be downloaded
from the Resource Centre on the ACT website, www.accesscontrol.ie
Avalid card or PIN will allow access. For maximum security, the unit may be programmed to
require all users to enter a PIN code after presenting a card.
