VXS-5
Single-Door Stand Alone Proximity
Access Control System Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the VXS-5, the most economical,
proximity access control system on the market designed for small
installations. It is a stand alone, self contained access control
system built into a proximity reader housing. The VXS-5 meets
the need of many users for an electronic door strike control
system with a memory capacity of 10 keys or less. A small office,
private home or apartment would be the ideal application for the
VXS-5.
The VXS-5 memorizes a master key plus 10 keys and comes
with five free proximity tags.
The system is powered from a 12 VDC external power supply.
The EMS (Electromagnetic Door Strike) is energized with 12 VDC
when a valid key is presented. System wiring requires 4 leads
only - 2 for power and 2 for the EMS. VXS-5 Reader and Controller Proximity Key Tag

3. INSTALLATION
• Insert a screwdriver into the recess at the bottom or top of the
case, and separate the cover from the reader.
• Drill a hole in the wall for the cable.
• Place the base on the installation surface while passing the
cable through the hole, mark two points for drilling, drill the
holes, and insert the enclosed plastic anchors, if necessary.
• Fasten the base to the mounting surface, using the enclosed
screws.
• Connect each wire to the corresponding terminal according to
the following list:
Wire color Function
Black 12V Power [+]
Black/White 12V Power [-]
White EMS [+]
White/Orange EMS [-]
• Replace the reader’s cover, ensuring that the cover is aligned
correctly. This will make the LED visible.
4. PROGRAMMING
Note: The VXS-5 exits programming automatically and reverts to
normal operation if no activity is detected for 10 seconds.
4.1. Initial Non-programmed State
When first connected to power, the LED blinks amber and red
alternately to indicate that there is no master key.
• Present one of the keys supplied with the unit. This key will
become the master key.
• The VXS-5 accepts the master key and the LED turns amber
to indicate the idle state.
Note: It is recommended to keep the master key in a safe
place. The master key is used for programming only and cannot
be used for access control.
4.2. Add Keys
Hold the master key next to the unit for 10 seconds. The LED will
start blinking green at the rate of 2 Hz (twice a second) to
indicate the ADD mode.
While in ADD mode:
• Present a key to be added.
• The green LED lights up steadily for 2 seconds to indicate
acceptance of the new key.
• To add more keys, wait until the unit resumes blinking green
and present a new key.

• When the memory is full with 10 user keys, the VXS-5 will not
accept any more keys and continue blinking green at 2 Hz
even when a new key is presented.
• To exit the ADD mode wait 10 seconds with no activity.
4.3. Delete Keys
While in the ADD mode, hold the master key near the unit for 10
seconds.
• The LED starts blinking red, thus indicating the DELETE
mode.
• If the key to be deleted is available, simply present it to the
unit for deletion. The red LED lights up steadily for 2 seconds
to indicate that the key has been deleted.
If the key is lost or stolen, all keys must be deleted and the
available keys have to be added back in.
• While in the DELETE mode, present the master key to the
VXS-5 for about 10 seconds.
• The red LED will light up steadily for 2 seconds to indicate that
all keys have been deleted.
• Exit DELETE mode by waiting 10 seconds with no activity.
• Enter the ADD mode (see 4.2) and add all available keys.
4.4. Set Unlock Time
The default unlock duration is 5 seconds. To change it, you need
to be in the DELETE mode (see 4.3).
• While in the DELETE mode present the master tag for about
one second.
• The LED blinks amber at 2 Hz rate.
• Present a valid (non-master) key for the required unlock
duration and remove it promptly.
• The VXS-5 will define the new unlock duration as the length of
time the key was presented.
4.5. Reset Master Tag
Resetting the master is performed by connecting the EMS- to the
Power- in the following order:
• While the unit is connected to power, touch the EMS- wire to
the -12V Power for about 1/2 second
• Wait about 2 seconds (count 1.. 2.. 3..)
• Touch the EMS- wire to the -12V Power again, for 1 second
It may take some practice to get it right. Eventually the master is
erased, and the LED blinks red / amber alternately indicating that
a new master is needed (see 4.1).
Note: When deleting the master tag, all other keys are not
affected.
5. OPERATION
During normal operation, the LED lights amber to indicate the idle
state. When presenting a valid key, the LED lights green and
opens the lock for 5 seconds (default unlock duration).
If a key is invalid, the LED lights red for 2 seconds.
If more than 5 consecutive invalid keys are presented with less
than 5 seconds between every two keys, the VXS-5 increases the
time of the red LED to 5 seconds and reverts to 2 seconds when
a valid key is presented or if more than 60 seconds have passed
with no activity.
