Paxton Net2 Door Contacts

[newpersn]

Hello.

 

We have installed a few new doors with access control (RGL monitored Maglocks and Net2 pannels) and i'm trying to wire in the door contacts within the panels.

 

Currently when i try i get it saying the door is closed all the time. or not working. (tired both NO and NC and still the same.

 

Can anyone show me there Net2 Panel with door contacts wired in? Do i need a extra wire that goes somewhere else...

 

Thanks

We don't have door contacts wired in, just the maglock connected - Negative to Com and N.C bridged to negative on the supply, live into the live input from the power supply.

 

I think the door contacts should go into the 4th and 5th connectors up from the bottom on the right hand side?

 

 

Edit: - I'm assuming you mean door contacts to be the magnetic switch within the maglock which detects if it's open or not?

If you are wiring the door (alarm ?) contacts this suggests they have to be NC:

TBH never has the contacts wired in.

Yeah - Thats what im trying to do. But it just detects that the door is closed all the time. Do i need to add a extra wire within the net2 panel?

 

Ive done a few net2 panels, but this is the first one i'm trying to do with door contacts.

I tried this before and gave up. If I were doing it again, i'd connect a multimeter in continuity mode or maybe even try something with my picoscope and test the relay contacts with the door closed and opened and lock energised and de-energised.

 

I think there are 2 options for monitored maglocks - one that reports the status of the electro-magnet, and one that senses the position of the door. I think many maglocks do the first, so your relay contacts won't change unless the lock is energised or de-energised.

 

If I were to do another one, I'd probably get a plain alarm reed switch and keep it separate from the lock.
