Overview

The NX-1701E is a proximity card reader/door control module. Up to 15 readers can be connected to
the NX control panel (depending on panel type). The NX-1701E can be programmed to control
access in any or all partitions. The LEDs can be programmed to follow the output and/or the armed or
ready status of the system. It has an optional optical tamper switch.
