Standalone Systems
This type of system may be used to control access on one or many independent doors in a building. Access is gained by using a numeric code, or PIN with a keypad, or by presenting a proximity or magstripe token, depending on which type of reader is fitted.
These systems are programmed at each door. If tokens need to be barred or codes changed, this action must be completed at every door on the system.
We have two standalone systems, offered to satisfy both low and medium-high security applications.
Compact system
A standalone solution where all of the control electronics are in the keypad or reader. Compact systems are an easy to administer and cost-effective means of controlling access to a building. However, as the control electronics are all housed in the reader or keypad this type of system is not recommended for exterior or high security interior doors. Compact systems are available in a choice of TOUCHLOCK keypads, PROXIMITY readers or CARDLOCK (magstripe) readers.
Access is gained by using a code or PIN with a keypad, or by presenting a valid token to readers. Simple token management using our token packs makes administration straightforward.
Compact systems can be fitted to one door or many doors in a building. Additional doors may be added as required.
Key features
10,000 users (PROXIMITY & CARDLOCK), up to 50 codes (TOUCHLOCK) Simple token management Scaleable; systems can be added to easily Available as PROXIMITY, magstripe (CARDLOCK) or keypads (TOUCHLOCK)
Typical applications
Example systems
Switch2 system
A standalone solution, which uses a separate control unit for higher security. The Switch2 control unit is housed on the inside or safe side of the door. The control unit is used in conjunction with a Paxton Access reader or keypad. This provides higher security than a compact system. Switch2 is the standalone solution for external and higher security internal doors.
Small business premises
Sports clubs
Storage units
Any small or medium sized site requiring access control
The diagram above shows a school canteen. The kitchen door has been secured by a PROXIMITY compact system to prevent children gaining access. Compact systems are combined readers and control units and so are ideally suited to controlling access on this type of low security door. The "all in one" construction makes for a very simple and quick installation.
Switch2 systems are available with a choice of PROXIMITY or CARDLOCK (magstripe) readers or TOUCHLOCK keypads. Switch2 has a larger range of compatible readers than Compact and may also be used with a combined keypad/proximity reader. Access is gained by using a code or PIN with a keypad, or by presenting a valid token to readers. Simple token management using our token packs makes administration straightforward.
Switch2 systems can be fitted to one or many doors in a building. Additional doors may be added as required.
If you are choosing a standalone system but may want to upgrade to a PC based system in the future, Switch2 is the right choice. Only the control unit would need to be replaced. Readers and other hardware are compatible with both systems.

Sites requiring high security
Carpark barriers
The Switch2 system is a stand alone access control system meaning that is not administered centrally. The system comprises of a separate reader and control unit. This makes Switch2 suitable for high security, external doors. The example shows Switch2 securing the external doors of a leisure club. It is ideal for this application as it is secure and simple to manage.
