P2 & P2.net HARDWARE MANUAL SAFETY NOTES Please read this manual carefully before attempting to install or operate the Progeny Access Control equipment. This equipment must be installed in line with all relevant regulations and standards. Make sure that wiring is rated according to fuses and current limits of relevant power supplies.
1 x Hardware Manual Mounting The P2 Controller and its power supply should be mounted in a secure location or on the secure side of the door. This should ideally be as close to the door as possible (Max 100m cable run) to avoid volt drops.
Cable Network Two core twisted pair cable is to be used to wire the P2 Network (a screened cable can be used to offer better protection). If the optional screened cable is used then the incoming and outgoing screen can be fitted to SCR on the Network terminal block.
Reader The P2 Readers are connected to the P2 Controller using a standard 4 core cable (alarm cable is suitable). LEDs Status The status LED next to the reset button indicates whether the board has power or not. Reader (A & B) The readers LEDs indicate whether the reader circuit is in overload (red) or if there is activity from the reader itself (green).
1 x driver bit for security screws Description The P2 Reader is a passive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) proximity reader for use with the Progeny P2 system. The P2 Reader is weather protected to IP66 and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Power The P2 Reader uses 12V DC and power is taken from the positive and negative connections of the Reader terminal block on the P2 Controller board.
A normally open connection, or “push to make” connection, Request to Exit button may also be fitted to the P2 Reader. The positive of the RQE should be wired in to RQE on the Door terminal block and the negative should be wired in to the negative of the Reader terminal block.
LEDs There are two bi-colour LEDs on the reader. The lower LED flashes red until a credential is present when it will stay red and hold until the proximity credential is removed. The upper LED will turn green when a valid card is presented to the reader and red when the card is invalid.
P2 Touch Switch Description The Progeny P2 Touch Switch is capable of detecting near-proximity or touch. It projects a touch proximity field through the dielectric of the enclosure. The patented spread-spectrum charge-transfer technology, coupled with its ability to self-calibrate, makes this an entirely new concept.
Power The P2 Touch Switch uses 12V DC and power is taken from the positive and negative connections of the Reader terminal block on the P2 Controller board. The supply may also be tapped from a nearby P2 reader. Mounting The touch switch may be mounted using the surface box provided or for better aesthetic appearance use a flush back box.
CONTACT The relay contact of the switch provides C, NC and NO connections. The relay contacts changeover when the surface of the switch is touched. This change over is timed so that it will not hold even if the triggering object is not removed from the surface.
P2 USB Interface gives an indication as to whether the board is receiving power. The P2 USB Interface should be connected to a P2 Controller by linking the Network A and B terminal block on the P2 USB Interface to the Network A and B terminal block on the P2 Controller.
The End of Line resistor should be set to Y on the jumper setting (see figure 6). Cables Two core twisted pair cable is to be used to wire the P2 Network (a screened cable can be used to offer better protection). P2 Controllers can be further linked together in a “daisy chain”, to a maximum of 16 on the whole network, by wiring A to A and B to B...
The P2 Proximity Key fob is a passive RFID proximity credential which conveniently fits on a key ring which is ideal for people who forget their cards, wallets or purses but remember their car and house keys! The P2 Key Fob is for use with P2 systems only. Proximity Sticky Dot The P2 Proximity Sticky Dot is a passive RFID proximity credential which can be attached to the rear of mobile phones or other hand held devices.
P2.net provides a 10 / 100 Base T Ethernet connection via an RJ45 socket. This makes the P2 system or parts of it “IP Addressable”. The P2.net can be used by itself or in conjunction with the P2 USB interface and or additional P2.net controllers. The only restriction is that the total number of door controllers is 16 or less.
Set Server IP Address Filter (Optional) The only required setting is the IP address. Note that if the P2.net is connected to the same subnet as the Server PC; then the P2.net IP address can be set from the software.
Further Information and Technical Support For further information on the P2 system, including Doors Express software, a comprehensive manual can be obtained from the BSB Electronics website on www.progeny.co.uk, from the Doors Express software CD or the help menu in Doors Express.
