1 Overview
The ACT 5e prox is a simple, easy-to-use access control unit combining digital keypad and proximity
technology. The unit supports up to 128 users, each with a unique PIN code and proximity card/fob. Each
unit is contained in rugged polycarbonate housing, with stainless steel keys and potted electronics,
allowing for indoor and outdoor installation. Keypad backlighting enhances the ACT 5e prox functionality at
night or in poor light conditions.
Programming the unit is achieved via the keys, LED, and buzzer. Cards and PIN codes can be
programmed into the ACT 5e prox very quickly. Vanderbilt recommends that Users and their associated
PIN and Card are recorded in the User List at the end of the manual (see
on page 17). Make
copies of this sheet and enter each Users details on it. This will allow users to be deleted later on, even if a
card is lost or a user forgets their PIN code.
A valid card or PIN will allow access. For maximum security, the unit may be programmed to require all
users to enter a PIN code after presenting a card.
