Description

The Paxton 595-248 Energy Saving Proximity Reader is an innovative solution for reducing unnecessary energy consumption in access-controlled environments. Designed for use with Switch2 and Net2 systems, this reader ensures that electrical equipment is only powered when an authorised proximity card is inserted and retained.

When used with Net2, the reader supports multi-format tokens, including MIFARE® and EM4100, making it versatile for various installations. By integrating access control with energy management, businesses can cut down on wastage and improve efficiency.

Available with a choice of black or white covers, the reader complements a range of interiors. Easy to install with central cable exit for accurate mounting, it connects directly to the control unit and toggles a relay for controlled switching.

When a card is placed into the reader, the connected equipment is powered on. Once the card is removed, the relay switches back, automatically turning off the equipment—ensuring energy is only used when needed.
