1.0 Introduction
The Premier Elite iProx module can be installed in one of two modes:
1.1 Network Mode
The network mode allows the Premier iProx to be connected to the network
terminals of the Premier Elite 24,48,88,168,640 control panels. This mode provides
the following facilities:
Built in proximity reader using standard Premier Elite proximity tags
Connections for optional external reader Premier Elite External Prox
26bit Wiegand interface to allow support for 3rd party access control readers
Support for Key Seven SA840-A20 keypad
Proximity tags/user codes are stored in the control panel
Request To Exit (RTE) input
Voltage free contacts (3 Amps) for connection to door strike
Internal sounder and extension loudspeaker connections
Can be used as an arming station or as door access only.
Standard 7/0.2 alarm cable can be used for most installations. However,
under certain conditions it may be necessary to use screened cable.
N The maximum number of tags/users codes that can be stored is dependent on
the number of users available on the control panel.
1.2 Stand-alone Mode
The stand-alone mode allows the Premier Elite iProx to be used as a simple door
access controller. This mode provides the following facilities:
Built in proximity reader using standard Premier proximity tags
Connections for optional external reader Premier External Prox
26bit Wiegand interface to allow support for 3rd party access control readers
Up to 10 proximity tags can be stored in the module

3.0 Network Mode Installation
3.1 Introduction
When the iProx is used in the Network mode, it uses one of the available remote
keypad address slots on the system. The maximum number of keypad address
slots varies depending on the control panel:
Before installing the unit, make sure that you have a spare keypad address slot, if
all keypad slots have been used it will not be possible to install the iProx in this
mode.

3.2 Option and Address Switches for Network
Mode
When installed in this mode the Option and Address switches function as follows:
3.3 Using Premier Elite Proximity Tags
This configuration allows you to use the standard proximity tags that are used with
the Premier & Premier Elite keypads. The tags MUST be learnt at a keypad which
has a built in proximity reader. The figure below shows a typical installation:

Check that the iProx and proximity tags operate correctly.11.

INS303-5 9/22
Learning Premier Elite Proximity Tags
If the system is already using Premier proximity tags then the existing tags will
work as normal when presented to the iProx module. For full details on learning
proximity tags refer to the control panel installation manual.
3.4 Using 3rd Party Proximity Tags
This configuration allows you to use proximity tags from other manufacturers. The
proximity reader MUST be capable of providing the data in 26bit Wiegand format.
The figure below shows a typical installation:
Installation
Remove all power from control panel before making any connections.
Install the 26bit Wiegand reader in the required location and according to the1.

Check that the iProx and proximity tags operate correctly.12.
Learning 3rd Party Tags on the Premier Elite 24/48/88/168/640
When using 3rd party tags via a Wiegand reader, the tag or card is encoded with a
unique 6 digit code. This code is learnt onto the control panel and is stored
separately from the user code, this allows for users to have a tag and access code
with different codes. To learn 3rd party tags proceed as follows:
Select the “Setup Users” menu on the control panel.1.
Enter the user number that you want to assign the tag or card.2.
Press [Yes] and program the user code and options as required, when the3.
remote keypad displays “Add TAG to User?”. Press [2] to select Import TAG.
The remote keypad will now display “IMPORTING TAG Present TAG Now”.4.
Present the tag or card to the Wiegand reader, you will hear an acceptance5.
tone when the tag is imported successfully.
Repeat steps 2 - 5 for other tags or cardsNetwork Mode Operation6.
When installed in the Network mode, the operation of the iProx is as
follows:
When a valid proximity tag is presented to the module or via the Wiegand
reader you will hear a beep from the internal sounder (if the Internal Sounder
jumper is set to ON). The status LED will momentarily change from green to
yellow indicating a valid tag read. If the alarm system is in a disarmed state

INS303-5 11/22
the control panel will start the exit sequence. The exit tone will be generated
if the “Sounder Enabled” switch 3 is ON. The user should leave premises as
normal. If the alarm system is armed or in entry mode the system will disarm
on presentation of a valid tag.
When an invalid proximity tag is presented to the module or via the Wiegand
reader you will hear a beep from the internal sounder (if the Internal Sounder
jumper is set to ON). The status LED will momentarily change from green to
yellow, but the status of the alarm is not affected.
The Door Strike relay is controlled by the control panel and will activate when
the relevant remote keypad output is active.
If the RTE input is activated the Door Strike relay is activated for 5 seconds.
N To restrict operation of the iProx to door strike please see the control panel
installation manual.
4.0 Using the Key Seven SA840-A20
Keypad
This configuration allows you to integrate the SA840-A20 keypad manufactured by
Key Seven with the Premier Elite 24/48/88/168/640 control panels. The figure
below shows a typical installation:

menu and program it to the required type.

INS303-5 13/22
Setup user codes as required then exit the engineer’s mode.11.
Check that the SA840-A20 operate correctly.12.
SA840-A20 Keypad Operation
When the Premier iProx is installed with an SA840-A20 keypad the operation of the
alarm system is as follows:
If a valid user code is entered followed by the [P] key during the exit
sequence the remaining exit time is truncated and the system arms
immediately.
If a valid user code is entered followed by the [P] key whilst the system is
armed, the entry timer is started. The user must enter the premises via the
designated entry route and disarm the system using the standard Premier
remote keypad.
If a valid user code is entered followed by the [P] key whilst the system is
disarmed, the system status is unaffected.
The Door Strike relay is controlled by the control panel and will activate when
the relevant remote keypad output is active.
If the RTE input is activated the Door Strike relay is activated for 5 seconds.
5.0 Installing a Premier Elite External
Prox
The Premier Elite External Prox provides external proximity tag reading capabilities
when used with the iProx module. The figure below shows the connection details:

INS303-5 14/22

(see chapter 3.4)
6.5 Stand-alone Mode Operation
When installed in the Stand-alone mode, the operation of the module is as follows:
When a valid tag is presented to the module or via the Wiegand reader you
will hear an acceptance tone from the speaker (if connected) and the internal
sounder (if the Internal Sounder jumper is set to ON). The status LED will
change from red to green and the Door Strike relay is activated for the
selected time (controlled by the Address switches).
When an invalid tag is presented to the module or via Wiegand reader you
will hear an error tone from the internal sounder (if the Internal Sounder
jumper is set to ON). The status LED will momentarily light yellow and the
Door Strike relay is NOT activated.
If the RTE input is activated the Door Strike relay is activated for the selected
time (controlled by the Address switches).
