Proximity Tags - Cooper Security i-on 40 Administrator's Manual

Introduction i-on40
Access code and tag act as unique identifiers for each user, and
may be used interchangeably at any time.
When delivered from the factory the control unit recognises just
one user, and this user has Master User privileges (see page ).
This user's default access code is "1234", and they do not have
any tag or other device registered to their account.
Cooper Security Limited recommend that you change the
default access code as soon as possible (see page 16).
The installer has a separate access code which they cannot use to
set or unset the alarm system. Neither can they use that code to
change details of other users registered to the system. Similarly,
the Administrator code has no access to any installer
programming menus.
Code Lockout
If a user has problems remembering their code, they may try
keying it in several times. If a user keys in an incorrect code 10
times in a row then the control unit locks all keypads for 90
seconds. Once the 90 seconds is finished then the keypads will
allow users to try again. Note that the system will log the fact that
someone has locked the keypads in this way by recording "Excess
keys".

Proximity Tags

A proximity tag is a small plastic token with a low powered radio
transmitter inside. Each tag contains a unique identity code.
Inside the keypad is a sensor. When you present the tag within
about 10mm of the front of the keypad, the control unit senses
the presence of the tag and reads its identity code.
If a user presents a tag that the control unit recognises then the
control unit allows the user to access the system in the same way
as if they had keyed in a recognised access code.
