Introduction
This manual is an installation guide for the GE Model 940
proximity reader which features two-state supervision that
continuously monitors for closed and open circuit conditions at
door contacts and request to exit (REX) connections. An internal
tamper switch automatically alerts security personnel if the reader
is violated. This supervision ensures that security personnel are
immediately notified if someone tampers with the reader or a
door is breached. Upon an alert, the reader is taken off-line to
prevent a breach at that access point.
This GE proximity card reader also offers expanded hassle-free
contactless convenience when entering and exiting secure
facilities. A new reader optimization technology automatically
adjusts to a wide range of installation environments to provide
consistent read range performance no matter where or on what
the reader is mounted. It automatically detects and optimizes the
credential read field, even in challenging environments with
metal surfaces. By optimizing the GE 940 proximity card reader,
to any metal or non-metal environment, cardholders experience
consistent reader performance, regardless of location or
environment.
