prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual
1.10 General Description
The IEI prox.pad Proximity Reader/Keypad Door Access Control pro ides card and/or keypad access control for a single door. You
can install the unit either in a one-stage configuration, or a higher security, two-stage (or “remote”) configuration.
In the “secure” (or remote) configuration, you can detach the antenna and mount it up to a maximum of 10 feet away from the main
prox.pad unit. For installation details, see section 1.16.3.
The prox.pad is compatible with all HID proximity cards, up to 40 bit format. You can program cards either by presentation (up to 40
bit) or through batch programming without presenting the cards (only for 26-bit HID cards). All programming is performed using the
built-in keypad on the unit.
In standalone mode, the following four user types are a ailable in the prox.pad unit:
●0-Toggle/latch lock
●1-Normal access
●2-log Dump
●3-Lockout
In standalone mode, the unit can store up to 2000 users and 1000 transaction e ents, which can both be transmitted ia the IR LED for
collection by the optional Data Collection De ice for reporting purposes.
The unit is equipped with a lock release main relay and an auxiliary relay, which you can program for alarm shunt, forced door or
propped door access control functions.
1.11 Operating Modes
During initial installation, the installer programs the prox.pad unit for one of three operating modes, “Standalone,” “Wiegand Front
End,” or “Secured Series Front End.” Only one operating mode can be selected at any one time. If you plan to use Standalone mode
(the default, out-of-the-box, mode), no programming is required.
In “Standalone” mode (Chapter 2), all the access control decisions are made by the prox.pad unit. The unit operates entirely on its
own. The unit contains a main relay for controlling the locking de ice and a programmable auxiliary relay for access control functions
such as alarm shunt, forced door and propped door. The unit has an input for a door position switch and a request to exit (REX)
de ice. The prox.pad stores all transactions the transactions locally in memory and has an IR LED for dumping the transaction e ent
log to the Data Collection De ice. You can use the de ice as a keypad, card reader or combination to gain access.
In “Wiegand Front End” mode (Chapter 3), the prox.pad is used as front end for a Wiegand access control panel. No access control
decision are made in the prox.pad. The Wiegand data is just sent to the Wiegand control panel. The panel then makes all access
control decisions and controls the prox.pad LEDs. You can use it as a keypad or a card reader. The keypad data is only sent as 26-Bit
card data, but the card reader just passes the data from the card to the panel. You can use up to 40-Bit HID format cards.
In “Secured Series Front End” mode, the prox.pad unit is used as a front end with an IEI Secured Series Door Control Module. Either
standard 26-bit or Corporate 1000 prox cards can be used during Secured Series mode. No other format cards can be used. The PIN
data is extracted from these card types and sent to the Secured Series Door Control Module for erification (for details, see Chapter 4).
In all operating modes, the prox.pad unit maintains programmability so that prox.pad system parameters can be set. The default
factory setting during programming is for the unit to “time out” after 45 seconds of inacti ity.

1.13 Installation Configurations
NOTE: IEI recommends that first-time installers test the prox.pad unit before actually mounting and wiring the unit. This allows you
to become familiar with its operation and sa e time on the job site (see section 2.6).
It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the appropriate prox.pad installation configuration, which differs from installation to
installation. These three installation configurations are possible:
●Wall Mounted Installation (exterior to the room to be accessed).
In this configuration, a single gang electrical box can be used. Typically, the prox.pad unit is wall mounted (surface mounted)
outside the access area on the unsecured side.
●Glass Mounted Installation
In this configuration, the prox.pad unit is affixed with the four IEI supplied adhesi e pads to the glass door or the window
adjacent to the door being accessed, on the interior side of the glass. The side cut-out on the unit is used to bring the wires out
of the side of the prox.pad case.
●Secure Installation (or “two-stage” configuration)
In this configuration, the prox.pad antenna is located a maximum of 10 feet away from the keypad; the keypad is located on
the secure side of the door.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual
1.14 Other Installation Considerations
Sections 1.15.1 - 1.15.4 describe important considerations the installer must decide upon before actually starting to install and wire the
prox.pad.
1.14.1 Power Supply/Current Requirements
Power for the prox.pad unit must be from a minimum 10-15 olt DC linear, filtered and regulated access control power limited power
supply. The prox.pad unit draws approximately 55mA of current. It is typical for the chosen power supply to power both the prox.pad
unit and the locking de ice. When using one power supply for both the prox.pad unit and locking de ice, be sure to include both
de ices in your current requirements calculations.
NOTE: IEI recommends that you ground the power supply to earth ground.
1.14.2 Gang Box and Mounting
For the wall mounted installation configuration, a single gang electrical box can be used. Typically, the prox.pad unit is wall mounted
outside the access area on the unsecured side of the door.
1.14.3 Mounting the Unit on Metal
The prox.pad unit uses radio frequency (RF) to transfer power to and communicate with the proximity card or key fob. If the antenna
is mounted directly on a metal building or wall, some of the energy is absorbed by the metal, resulting in less power being transmitted
to the card/key fob; this causes reduced read range. If you must mount the prox.pad unit on metal, test the unit in place before
permanently installing it. If read range distance distance is not adequate, a non-metallic spacer can be fabricated and installed between
the unit’s antenna and the metal mounting surface.
1.14.4 RF Interference
The prox.pad unit should not cause interference to other equipment as it is designed to meet FCC guidelines. Howe er, other de ices
can interfere with prox.pad operation. A oid locating the prox.pad unit closer than 3 feet (1 meter) to a computer monitor or tele ision
or another prox.pad unit. If you belie e you are experiencing reduced read range due to interference, try repositioning the prox.pad
unit, remoting the antenna, or relocating other nearby electrical equipment.

prox.pad Installation/Programming Manual
1.1 Mounting the prox.pad Unit
Select one of these three installation configurations, wall mount, glass mount, or secure as appropriate for this installation. Then refer
to the following sections.
1.1 .1 Performing a Wall Mounted Installation
This section pro ides general considerations when performing a wall mounted installation. Typically, the prox.pad unit is mounted on
a flat, le el surface (drywall, masonry, wood, etc.) exterior to the room to be accessed. A single-gang electrical box (or back box) can
be used. Typically, the prox.pad unit is wall mounted outside the access area on the unsecured side of the door.
Figure 3 below illustrates the components on the prox.pad unit used for wall mounting. Two single-gang box holes align with two
corresponding holes in the single-gang box. A wire exit knockout is supplied through which the prox.pad wiring is pulled. A typical
wall mounted installation proceeds as follows:
1. Install a single-gang box in the desired location.
2. Punch out the two single-gang box knockouts on the controller backplate of the prox.pad unit.
3. Disconnect the controller backplate of the prox.pad unit from the front keypad/controller. Align the two single-gang box
holes on the controller backplate o er the two corresponding holes on the single-gang box, pre iously secured at step 1.
4. Secure the backplate to the single-gang box by inserting/tightening two screws into the two single-gang box holes.
5. Connect the front keypad/controller to the back housing.
6. Pull the prox.pad wiring through the wiring exit as appropriate.
7. Install the tamper screw into the hole at the bottom front of the enclosure using a #6 spanner bit (not included, but a ailable
from IEI).

1.1 .2 Performing a Glass Mounted Installation
Figure 4 below shows the four IEI-supplied pressure-sensiti e adhesi e pads and the two side cut-outs used for this installation. In this
configuration, the prox.pad unit is affixed with the four self-adhesi e pads to the glass or the glass window adjacent to the door being
accessed, on the interior side of the glass. One of the two side cut-outs is used to bring the wires out of the side of the prox.pad case.
A typical glass mounted installation proceeds as follows:
1. Disconnect the back housing from the front keypad/ controller. Remo e the tape from the four self-adhesi e pads on the back
housing and apply the pads to the four corners of the backplate.
2. Affix the back housing to the glass door or the glass window adjacent to the door being accessed, on the interior side of the
glass.
3. Determine which of the two side cut-outs on the back housing to use for the wiring and remo e that cut-out using the
appropriate cutting tool.
4. Pull the wiring through the selected side cut-out as required.
5. Connect the front keypad/controller to the back housing.
6. Install the tamper screw into the hole at the bottom front of the enclosure using a #6 spanner bit (not included, but a ailable
from IEI).
