Paxton Re-engineers Wireless Access Handle
Paxton has launched PaxLock Pro2, a new generation of its battery-powered electronic access-control handle.
Although visually close to the previous model, the product has been re-engineered internally, with the mechanism tested beyond one million operating cycles.
The handle combines reader, control unit, electronic lock and power supply in one device. It is designed for internal and external standard doors and supports standalone operation as well as integration with Paxton’s Net2 and Paxton10 platforms. Paxton10 installations can also use Bluetooth Low Energy mobile credentials.
A newly introduced privacy button allows authorised occupants to block external access from inside the room until the function is released. According to Paxton, one set of batteries supports up to 55,000 operations or approximately two years of typical use. PaxLock Pro2 also meets FD30 and FD60 fire requirements and EN 179 requirements for emergency-exit hardware.
