Introduction
The MAX is a proximity reader access control device for a single door. It
is programmed and operated using MAX proximity cards or key fobs.
The proximity cards and key fobs each have a unique ID number and
must be identified to the MAX before they can be used to operate the
system. The MAX memory can store up to 475 ID numbers (this includes
the master cards). Once programmed, the ID number is stored indefinitely
in the MAX memory until it is voided (removed) or the memory is erased.
Removing power from the MAX does not erase the programming memory.
Note: Information on the programming of a MAX integrated with a
Galaxy security control system can be found in the Galaxy
Engineer's manual (L027).

Operational Programming Instructions
Note: Each time a card is presented to the MAX, the MAX buzzer
beeps:
• A single long beep indicates that a master card has been pre-
sented,
• A single short beep indicates a valid card has been presented
and accepted when programming,
• Five rapid beeps indicates an invalid card has been presented.
Assigning Master Cards
Assigning the Program Master Card
On initial power-up the MAX is in Sleep Mode, LEDs 2–6 (red)
are on. The first card presented to the MAX is initialised as the
Program Master Card. The MAX beeps once to verify the
programming is accepted and LEDs 3–6 switch off; LED 2 remains
on — indicating normal operating mode. The Program Master Card
is used to access the Programming Mode allowing the master cards
and the Door Open and Door Unlock Times to be programmed.
Changing the Program Master Card
1. Enter Programming Mode: Swipe the MAX with the Pro-
gram Master Card — LED 6 switches on.
2. Declare New Program Master: present a blank card to the
MAX — LED 4 switches on and LED 6 switches off and a long
beep is emitted. The card is now the Program Master Card.
3. Void Old Program Master: present the old Program Master
Card to the MAX — LEDs 6 and 4 switch on and a long beep is
emitted; indicating that the old Program Master has been is de-
leted.
• Presenting another blank card instead of the old Program Mas-
ter steps through to the Void Master Mode without deleting the
old Program Master. This allows multiple Program Master cards
to be assigned.
4. Exit Programming Mode: Swipe the MAX five times with
the new Program Master Card — until LED 6 switches off and
LED 2 switches on.
Other Master Cards
The Void Master card is used to remove standard user and nightlock
access user cards from the MAX memory. The Void Master card
cannot remove master cards.
The Add Master card is used to add standard user and nightlock
user cards to the MAX memory. A maximum of 475 cards (including
master cards) can be stored.
The Nightlock Master card is used to switch the MAX nightlock
mode on and off. It is also used, in conjunction with the Add Master
to assign blank and standard user cards as nightlock access user
cards.
Programming Master Cards
1. Enter Programming Mode: Swipe the MAX with Program Mas-
ter Card — LED 6 switches on.
Note: Programming Mode cannot be accessed when the MAX
is nightlocked (Key LED on).
2. Swipe the MAX with Program Master Card — LEDs 6 and 4
switch on indicating Void Master Mode.
3. To assign a Void Master present a blank card to the MAX — a
long beep is emitted. The card is now a Void Master Card. The
MAX LEDs 6 and 3 switch on indicating Add Master Mode.
• To move to Add Master Mode without assigning a Void Mas-
ter, swipe the MAX with Program Master Card — LEDs 6 and
3 switch on.
4. To assign an Add Master, present a blank card to the MAX —
a long beep is emitted. The card is now an Add Master Card.
LEDs 6 and 5 switch on indicating Nightlock Master Mode.
• To move to Nightlock Master Mode without assigning an Add
Master, swipe the MAX with Program Master Card — LEDs 6
and 5 switch on.
5. To assign a Nightlock Master, present a blank card to the MAX
— a long beep is emitted. The card is now a Nightlock Master
Card. LEDs 6 and 2 switch on indicating Door Open Time
Mode.
• To move to Door Open Time Mode without assigning a Night-
lock Master, swipe the MAX with Program Master Card —
LEDs 6 and 2 switch on.
6. Door Open Time: This is the period following the user card
swipe that the door can remain open before an alarm is acti-
vated (default five seconds).
To set the Door Open Time to N–1 seconds, swipe the MAX N
times with any valid user card. For example, 11 swipes sets a
Door Open Time of 10 seconds. The Door Open Time can be
programmed within the range 0 – 255 seconds.

• Swipe the MAX with Program Master Card — LEDs 6 and 1
switch on indicating Door Unlock Time Mode.
Note: If the Door Open Time is programmed to zero (0)
seconds, then the alarm does not activate when the door
is forced open or remains open.
7. Door Unlock Time: This is the period, following the user card
swipe, that the door strike is activated (unlocked) allowing ac-
cess to be gained without creating an alarm (default three sec-
onds).
To program the time, swipe the MAX with any valid user card;
each swipe increases the Door Unlock Time by one second. For
example, 20 swipes sets a Door Unlock Time of 20 seconds.
The Door Unlock Time can be programmed within the range 1
– 255 seconds: the default is set to 2 seconds.
8. Exit Programming Mode: Swipe the MAX with the Program
Master Card — LED 6 switches off and LED 2 switches on
(normal operating mode).
Note: While in the Programming Mode, if 60 seconds elapse
without a valid card being presented, then the programming
is aborted and the MAX returns to the normal operating
mode. All programming prior to the abort is retained in the
MAX memory.
Block Deleting All Cards
All of the cards (including the Program Master) can be removed
from the MAX memory in a single operation:.
1. Swipe the MAX with Void Master Card — LEDs 2 and 4 switch
on.
2. Swipe the MAX with the Program Master Card — LEDs 2, 4
and 6 switch on.
3. Swipe the MAX with the Program Master Card — LED 5 flashes
and the buzzer sounds briefly; LEDs 2 to 5 switch on indicating
that the MAX is in Sleep Mode and waiting for a new Program
Master Card to be assigned.
Note: All of the cards are now voided from the MAX memory.
The first card presented to the MAX is initialised as the
Program Master Card.
4. Swipe the MAX with any card LEDs 3–6 switch off; LED 2
remains on — indicating normal operating mode. This card is
now the Program Master Card.
Block Deleting All User Cards
All of the user card can be removed from the MAX memory in a
single operation:.
1. Swipe the MAX with Void Master Card — LEDs 2 and 4 switch
on.
2. Swipe the MAX with the Program Master Card — LEDs 2, 4
and 6 switch on.
3. Swipe the MAX with any valid user card — LED 5 flashes and
the buzzer sounds briefly; LEDs 2 switches on indicating that
normal operating mode is restored.
Note: All of the user cards are now voided from the MAX
memory.
Troubleshooting
Programming Mode cannot be accessed when Program Master
Card is presented:
• Card presented is not the Program Master; a new Program Mas-
ter may have been assigned.
• The MAX is nightlocked; present a Nightlock Master Card to
restore normal operating mode.
Blank card can not be assigned to the system:
• The MAX is not in Programming or Add Card Mode
• The MAX memory is full; 475 cards have been assigned. Use
the Void Master Card or the hand held programmer to remove
cards that are no longer required.
New Programming Card cannot be assigned in Programming
Mode:
• Card has already been assigned to the system as a master; only
blank cards or standard user cards can be assigned as nightlock
access users.
Card cannot be assigned as an Add, Void or Nightlock Master or
as a standard user card:
• Card has already been assigned to the system; only blank cards
can be assigned.
• No valid user cards have been presented to the MAX for 60
seconds; the MAX has timed-out and normal operating mode
has been restored.
Card cannot be voided (removed):
• The card has been assigned as a master card; master cards can
only be removed by completely erasing the MAX program
memory.
• The card is a blank card; only standard user or nightlock access
user cards can be removed.
Card cannot be assigned as a nightlock access user card:
• Card has already been assigned to the system as a master; only
blank cards or standard user cards can be assigned as nightlock
access users.
The user card cannot gain access to the system:
• The card is not a valid user card.
• The system is nightlocked; standard user cards cannot gain ac-
cess.
LED 1 (green) flashes and buzzer is active on power up:
• The contact terminator is not connected to 0 V through the door
contact; the MAX is in an alarm condition.
The alarm is not activated when the door is forced open or is left
open indefinitely following access:
• The Door Open Time is programmed as zero seconds. Repro-
gram the time to at least one second (two swipes of a valid user
card).
