The BTicino Sfera Proximity Reader enables residents to open a door lock using univocal codes,
read by appropriate badges.
The device consists of an antenna used for reading the badge (transponder), and luminous
and sound indicators for the control of the correct storage of the codes inside the badge. The
transmission of the codes takes place when the badge is placed near the proximity reader.
When switched on for the first time, the Proximity Reader has no preset badges
Device configuration
Four types of badges may be programmed:
MANAGER MASTER Badge providing access to the programming of other codes.
It can only be used for programming, not for access.
APARTMENT MASTER Once the apartment badge has been defined, this can be used to program
the badges of the resident of that apartment. It can only be used for programming, not for access.
PASSEPARTOUT It can be used to open the door lock the entrance panel is associated to.
It’s not linked with any apartments.
It can only be used for access, not for programming..
RESIDENTS It can be used to open the door lock the entrance panel is associated to.
It’s linked to an apartment of the system.
It can only be used for access, not for programming.
The configuration can be performed in two ways:
- using thel TiSferaDesign software
- following specific procedures using the reader
To save the manager master codes remove the front cover and press the programming
pushbutton indicated in the legend. Once the badges have been saved in the reader, opening of
the door lock will be possible.

Manager master badge
For safety reasons, a “MASTER” badge is required, directly programmed by the installer, providing
access to the programming of the other badges (apartment master, passepartout, and residents).
To access programming mode, a master badge must be allocated to the device. Up to 20 master
badges may be saved.
The proximity reader will confirm that the badge has been accepted by means of audible signals
and the switching on of the green LED.
The transmission of an unrecognised badge, or a programming error (e.g. memory full or badge
already used), will cause the interruption of the programming procedure. This interruption is
confirmed by a long beep, and the red LED coming on.

2. Release the key and move the system management key card close to the reader so that it can
be registered.
The flashing of the green LED and a short beep confirm that the manager master badge has
been saved.

Resident badge
To access the programming of a“RESIDENT” badge a manager master badge or an apartment
badge is necessary (depending on the mode used).
By configuring the device with M=00, this can be associated with 5 badges per apartment.
By configuring the device with M=01, the master badge may be assigned to the apartment,
and then use it to program the resident badges.
The proximity reader will confirm that the badge has been accepted or deleted through audible
signals and the switching on of the green LED. The transmission of an unrecognised badge, or a
programming error (e.g. memory full or badge already used), will cause the interruption of the
programming procedure. This interruption is confirmed by a long beep and the red LED coming on.
1. Place a manager master badge close to the reader;
the reader emits a short beep and the green LED starts flashing.
The programming procedure starts
2. Using the keypad (352000, 352100) or display (352500) module, select the apartment to which
to associate the resident key card;
the reader will emit a beep to confirm.
