Norbain stocks energy saving reader from Paxton Access

Designed for use with Paxton Switch2 or Net2 systems, the reader can be used to cut energy bills, save money and lower a site’s carbon emissions – bringing customers extra benefits from their access control systems.

The Paxton energy saving reader offers some great possibilities. Designed to retain a users’ proximity card, once fitted it can control the utilities in a building such as heating, lighting and air conditioning.

This means that lights cannot be left on by mistake, and customers can capitalise on greater control over energy usage on a site, saving them money on bills.

The energy saving reader can also be fitted to control machinery. This means that use of connected machinery can be restricted to only authorised personnel who are either qualified or have permission to use the equipment.

This helps ensure Health and Safety standards are adhered to. It also minimises the likelihood of accidental damage occurring, and any risks being posed to untrained staff.

Quick and easy installation for engineers

These benefits are possible because, unlike standard card operated energy management units (such as those in hotel rooms), the energy saving reader from Paxton will only work when an authenticated card is inserted.

Fitting the reader to an existing Net2 or Switch2 system is so quick and simple that installers can offer their existing customers an ‘energy upgrade’. Even if they don’t need it straight away, they could do in the future.

Upgrading is easy, too, and bereft of any huge cost or disruption.

“Simple to fit and use, the readers from Paxton offers installers and end user customers something extra,” said Andy Cross, Norbain’s business development executive for Paxton.

“For use across a variety of applications, including offices and workshops, the reader is ideal for energy conscious customers who want to save money and reduce their carbon footprint.”
