Introduction - Progeny Chameleon Manual

INTRODUCTION

The Chameleon system consists of two main items, the proximity reader and the
two-channel controller-keyboard. The proximity reader interrogates the cards or
fobs and passes the card number and site code to the controller-keyboard. The
controller-keyboard has two channels each with its own relay (see Fig 1). One
channel is dedicated to the proximity reader. The second is dedicated to the
keyboard on the front of the controller. Thus as well as providing a means to
program the system the keyboard can be used to open a second door or for a
secondary switching function.
In the chameleon packaging you will also find the labels for the reader and
keyboard, 4 mounting screws, Tamper spring and this manual. The CD contains
amongst other things the chameleon management software. The software runs
on windows 3.11, 95, 98, or NT and provides a convenient database of how the
system is set up. Details such as site code, who has which of 8000 cards, which
of the 100 guest card slots is Mr Jones card programmed into etc.

 12V DC power supply, the Progeny 2071 PSU is ideal for this.
