The hands-free interface, used with hands-free tokens, means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or handbag by using Paxton’s unique wireless technology.
Installation – Any new or existing P series reader, and KP keypads, can be converted to hands-free by fitting a hands-free interface. The interface requires no external power source and is wired in series between the reader and the control unit. It should be mounted as close to the reader as is possible up to a maximum of 15m.
Operation – Once the interface has been fitted, the hands-free tokens will have a read range of between 0.85m and 2.5m. The reader will continue to read regular tokens as usual. If the long read range causes any problems, such as people unlocking the door as they walk past, an entry confirmation button can be fitted. The entry button can be any standard push-to-make device and prevents the door from opening until it has been pressed.
When you fit an access control system in a building, doors are controlled with proximity readers. When you reach a door an authorised token is presented directly to the reader. In most situations this is efficient and convenient. Sometimes, however, it is useful to go through doorways without stopping to present a token. Especially if your hands are full. Fitting our Hands free interface means that the door unlocks as the user approaches. Hands free access opens up a number of possibilities for any site. It helps companies to easily conform to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), ensuring a building provides adequate disabled access. Companies have a legal responsibility to take 'reasonable' steps to provide disabled access. Hands free entry is also extremely useful to provide ease of access through doors in warehouses or to provide contactless hygienic access in hospitals and 'clean room' environments. Unlike most hands free solutions available for access control systems, there is a choice from a range of stylish and discreet readers. A building is not compromised by large unsightly readers. The read range remains excellent; you get the best of both worlds. Installing hands free access usually requires a huge investment in time and money. With Paxton Access hands free, the installation costs are low and it is not time consuming to fit it. The great thing about Paxton Access hands free access is that you don't have to make your decision straight away; if you think this is a feature that might be needed in the future, fitting it to an existing system couldn't be easier. It also means that hands free tokens are only given to the people that need them. The hands free enabled reader will still work as a proximity reader for those using standard tokens. Hands free access from Paxton Access is simple, economic and flexible.
