CHAPTER 7: PROXIMITY READER
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The MX-Prox reader is a card reader designed to work with the Matrix 832 / 832+ / 424 alarm panels. By
presenting a card or tag to the proximity reader you are able to arm or disarm the system without using a
keypad.
You will have been supplied either cards (MX-PCARDS), or tags (MX-TAGS), or both, for use with your
proximity reader.
Before the cards or tags can be used, they must be allocated to users. This is achieved though the master user
function Adding Proximity Cards/Tags, detailed on page 42.
7.2 Single Partition Operation
The MX PROX has four status LEDs. In single partition operation these four LEDs display the arm mode, A, B,
C or D.
