The Outdoor Proximity Reader Model BR is a battery operated, wireless Proximity Reader designed for arming and disarming operation of Videofied security systems. The Proximity Reader consists of two LEDs for status information, a built in sounder, S2View Spread Spectrum, interactive, encrypted wireless circuitry for secure two-way communication with the control panel, and is multi badge programmable.

The LED display provides status information of arming, disarming, partial arming, tamper fault, and maintenance.

The Proximity Reader is typically installed near entry/exit doors to allow system users enough time to arm and exit the premises, and to enter and disarm the system before time delays expire. When the system is armed, the built in sounder emits short beeps and one red and one green LED flash to identify arming. Upon entring the armed premises and swiping a programmed badge, the built in sounder emits short beeps and two green LED flashes to identify disarming. A dual tamper function provides detection for both Badge Reader cover and wall tamper.

The Proximity Reader is powered by three lithium batteries that can last up to four years or more, depending on the amount of Proximity Reader activity. The Proximity Reader transmits a checkin signal every 8 minutes that includes its unique identification code, along with the tamper condition, serial number, date of manufacture, software revision and battery status.
