INTRODUCTION
The Chameleon system consists of two main items, the proximity reader and the
two-channel controller-keyboard. The proximity reader interrogates the cards or
fobs and passes the card number and site code to the controller-keyboard. The
controller-keyboard has two channels each with its own relay (see Fig 1). One
channel is dedicated to the proximity reader. The second is dedicated to the
keyboard on the front of the controller. Thus as well as providing a means to
program the system the keyboard can be used to open a second door or for a
secondary switching function.
In the chameleon packaging you will also find the labels for the reader and
keyboard, 4 mounting screws, Tamper spring and this manual. The CD contains
amongst other things the chameleon management software. The software runs
on windows 3.11, 95, 98, or NT and provides a convenient database of how the
system is set up. Details such as site code, who has which of 8000 cards, which
of the 100 guest card slots is Mr Jones card programmed into etc.
Additional equipment needed include:
12V DC power supply, the Progeny 2071 PSU is ideal for this.
Locking device to suit the door
Proximity cards (2044HID) or fobs (2043HID)
Screened cable.
Optional equipment:
Door sensor
Break glass unit
Progeny 2068 RQE button
The keyboard-controller has two channels, each with its own output relay. Fig 1
illustrates the allocation of inputs, outputs and functions to the two channels.

The "CALL" and "DURESS" outputs are associated with the keyboard or "Code"
channel. Note that the RQE and Door sensor input are only available for the
"Proximity" channel. The arrow linking the CODE CONTROL and PROXIMITY
CONTROL blocks indicates that the two channels can be configured to work
together as CARD & CODE.
SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
Listed below are some of the many configurations that can be achieved using the
chameleon system.
SINGLE DOOR
Proximity In, RQE Out, Here the proximity reader would be mounted on the
insecure side of the door and a separate RQE button, such as the Progeny 2068,
would be mounted on the secure side. Alternatively the Call button of the
keyboard-controller can be used.
If the locking device allows for mechanical egress then the RQE button is not
needed. In this case it may be mounted near a receptionists desk to allow remote
door release.
Proximity In, Code Out, Here the code relay NO & C contacts are wired the RQE
input of the proximity channel. Thus a code is required to open the door from the
inside.
Card & Code In, RQE Out* Here the proximity and the keyboard controller are
mounted next to each other on the insecure side of the door. The controller is set
to Card & Code mode (see engineering settings). A separate RQE button can be
fitted if required.
Card Or Code In, RQE Out* Here again the proximity reader and the keyboard
are next to each other. However, the controller is set for Card OR Code mode and
the Code relay is wired to the RQE input. Thus valid access codes OR valid cards
will open the door.
SINGLE DOOR & CONTROL
The proximity channel would work as in the above cases but the code channel
can be used for some totally separate function. If the lock time for the code
channel is set to zero the relay will toggle each time a valid code is entered. Thus
the code can be used to set or un-set an intruder alarm panel, shunt a zone, open
a goods entry door, override or inhibit the operation of the proximity relay etc. The
list is endless, anywhere a secure switch is required the code channel can be
used.
TWO DOOR
Proximity In, RQE Out & Code on a Second Door *. Here the keyboard
controller is mounted on the insecure side of a second door. Note that the locking
device should provide mechanical egress or be a door to something that a person
would not go into such as a store cupboard.

Page 7
* Note when using the keyboard half of the system on the insecure side of the
door it is important to remember that the controller is built in to the keyboard. This
means that a potential intruder could prise this unit off the wall and "hot wire" the
door release. To help prevent this the 2159-KB has a tamper switch built in. Fit
the tamper spring and wire the tamper connections to the 24hr loop of an intruder
alarm system.

A coloured indicator is provided for each channel. The colours of
these indicators have the following meanings.

Note: The sounds from the keyboard controller can be annoying if located in
earshot. Pressing 8 and 9 together will mute the keyboard units sounder.
However the sounder will re activate when the * key is pressed. Note that this will
not mute the PDO alarm sound.

Page 8
USING PROXIMITY CARD
The proximity card or key fobs simply needs to be presented to the
reader. The readers LED will give a brief blink to green to indicate the
card has been read. If the card is programmed into the system the lock will
release for the pre-set duration.
USING ACCESS CODES
Access codes can be four, five or six digits in length. To operate the code channel
simply enter one of the programmed access codes. If a correct code is entered,
the code LED will change to green and the code output relay will activate. Access
codes can be modified to indicate Duress. Note this feature must be enabled if
required. See “RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS” later in this
manual.
HOLDING A CHANNEL OPEN
If a lock timer is programmed for timed operation, the operator can override this
and hold the output open. To do this, simply present a valid proximity card or
enter a valid access code. Once the output is activated and the LED indicator is
showing green, push and hold the 2 & 3 keys as a pair. This will hold open
proximity relay. Enter a valid access code and press 1 & 2 keys to latch the code
relay. To cancel the latched state of a channel simply present a card or enter a
valid access code again. In the case of the proximity channel operating the RQE
input will also cancel the latch.
TOGGLE MODE
If the lock time for a particular channel has been set to zero then each time a valid
card is presented or correct code is entered, the output relay will “Toggle” to the
opposite state.
Each channel has its own lock time thus either or both channels can be selected
to “toggle” or “timed” operation. One channel can be used to open a door, and the
other channel used to turn on and off a piece of equipment.
ALARMS
PDO
The purpose of the Prolonged Door Open (PDO) alarm is to act as a reminder
that a door is a security door and should not be wedged or held open for too long.
If the door sensor has been connected then each time the door is detected
HOLD OPEN CODE RELAY
HOLD OPEN PROX RELAY

opening a PDO timer starts. If this timer reaches a pre set value before the door
closes, a two-tone PDO alarm will be heard from the keyboard and the PDO
output will activate. Pressing keys 7 and 8 simultaneously to mute the current two
tone sound from the controller.
PDO alarm cancels automatically when the door is closed. The PDO alarm is not
active if the door is open due to Toggle or Hold command.
DOOR FORCED
The operation of the door forced alarm depends on the ability of the controller
knowing when the door has been opened legitimately or not. In order to do this
both the door sensor input and the ReQuest to Exit (RQE) inputs must be wired.
Thus if the door is detected as opening without the lock being released then a
Door Forced alarm will go active and latch. Door forced alarms can be cancelled
by presenting a valid proximity card or entering the valid programming code.
DURESS
If the duress feature is turned on, a duress alarm is generated when one enters
an access code with the last digit incremented. For example if your access code
is “1 2 3 4” then if you enter “1 2 3 5” the door will be released as normal but also
the duress alarm output will go active and latch. A duress alarm can only be
cancelled by entering the valid programming code. If the duress feature is turned
off, then “1 2 3 5” would not open the door. See “ENGINEERING SETTINGS”
later in this manual.

PROGRAMMING
Programming is achieved by entering the programming code at the keyboard
followed by a menu selection code. Depending on the menu option selected data
can then be entered at the keyboard. The menu functions available and default

PROXIMITY LOCK RELEASE TIME
Lock time is the amount of time that the locking device is released following a
valid proximity card or the triggering of the RQE input. This may be from 0 to 99
seconds. If set to zero, then each time the channel is triggered the relay will “
Toggle” to the opposite state. If a door sensor is fitted then the anti tailgate
feature means that the lock time will be cut short once the door closes again.
