Paxton Switch2 Troubleshooting guide

How to program a Switch2 to use a PROXIMITY KP
Keypad
What is a Switch2 system?
A Switch2 system is a step up in security and
versatility from the compact range. Still operating
as a standalone system it uses a control unit that is
separate from the user interface; a simple data cable
linking them together. This means that the control
unit can be mounted on the 'safe' side of the door
with only the keypad or reader outside.
A Switch2 control unit can be used with any of the
readers in the Paxton range. It has inputs for a door
contact and an exit button and has an output for an
alarm sounder. Lock control is via a volt free relay
which can be wired to operate fail closed and fail
open locks.
Initialising the keypad
When the system is powered up for the rst time the keypad will beep 3 times a second. This indicates that
the keypad is waiting to be initialised. The red LED will be steady, the amber LED will ash slowly and the
green LED will ash quickly.
Conrm your programming code by entering the same 6 digit code and pressing the bell button (The green
LED goes out and the unit will acknowledge that the programming code has been accepted by beeping
twice after a short pause. All the LED's are now on)
Enter your chosen 6 digit programming code and press the bell button (The green LED will ash faster still)
NOTE: The programming code should NOT contain the sequence of numbers 1234, as this is the default user
code for unlocking the door.
The keypad has a default user code of 1234. The programming code you just entered will now let you into
the menu where additional alterations can be made.
