Switch2

The Paxton Switch2 is a reliable standalone single-door access control system designed for offices, commercial premises, warehouses, educational facilities and other sites that require secure door access without the complexity of a PC-based or networked access-control platform. Unlike compact readers where control electronics may be located at the reader, Switch2 uses a separate controller installed on the secure side of the door, helping improve security by protecting the access permissions and lock-control circuitry inside the building. The controller can work with Paxton PROXIMITY, CARDLOCK and TOUCHLOCK readers, supports up to 10,000 card users or 50 access codes, and can connect two readers to one controller for read-in/read-out operation. The Switch2 controller provides practical security and access-management features for straightforward day-to-day operation. Its voltage-free relay output can control compatible electromagnetic locks, electric strikes or other electrical devices, while door contacts can be connected to monitor door status and provide a door-forced alarm output when required. With Paxton PROXIMITY or CARDLOCK systems, credentials are enrolled by presenting the enrolment card, and each user token can be associated with a corresponding shadow card so a lost or returned credential can be quickly barred without reprogramming the complete system. Switch2 also supports access management by token colour/zoning, and when used with compatible keypad readers it can provide authentication modes such as card plus PIN, card plus code, card only or code only. These capabilities make Switch2 a cost-effective solution for organisations that require dependable physical access control but do not need centralized PC reporting or real-time event monitoring.
