P2 Controller
Description
The P2 and P2.net Controllers are single door controllers for use with the Progeny P2 access control range. P2
uses a revolutionary reader interface that allows most door functions to be handled over a single 4 core
unscreened cable. The controller is completely programmed from a PC using the Doors Express software.

1 x P2 Controller or P2.net Controller mounted in a 165mm x 145mm steel enclosure (black)
1 x Hardware Manual
Mounting
The P2 Controller and its power supply should be mounted in a secure location. This should ideally be as close to
the door as possible (Max 100m cable run) to avoid volt drops.
Lock Drive
There are two voltage free relays (A & B) on the P2 Controller for operating locking devices.
The green LEDs labelled "RLY" illuminate when the relays have been activated.
Readers
The controller has 2 proximity reader channels for use with P2 readers only. Reader A is designated out and
Reader B is designated in. The P2 Readers are connected to the P2 Controller using a standard 4 core cable
(alarm cable is suitable).
The readers LED's indicate:
Green flash = Data from the card reader.
Red = Overload on the supply to the reader (> 200mA Possible short circuit).
