They are available for use with both Switch2 and Net2 systems The reader is wired as shown on the control unit label. By default, all the reader LEDs state is Green.

Paxton Access Inc 521-715-US – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Paxton vandal resistant metal keypad work with a Net2 system, or is it only for Switch2?
Both. The vandal resistant metal keypad is built for use with Paxton Switch2 and Net2 systems. A user enters a code on the keypad, the control unit checks it, and grants or denies access. There is no card or fob element here, it is PIN or code authentication only, so if you need dual credential you would pair or substitute a prox reader instead.
2) Can the Paxton metal keypad be mounted outside on an exterior door?
It's rated IPX7 and called out as suitable for external use, and the housing is cast metal with security fixing screws, so an entry gate or an exterior door face is within what it's built for. It ships with the vandal resistant keypad mounting plate and a backbox assembly, and mounts on the surface rather than flush into the wall.
3) How much wall space do I need for a Paxton vandal resistant keypad, and how far does it stand off the surface?
Plan for 5.6 inches high by 3.5 inches wide, with 1.6 inches of depth off the mounting surface. That depth matters on a narrow door stile or a mullion where a projecting reader can catch a swinging leaf or a gate frame. It is a surface mounted device, so the backbox sits proud rather than recessed.
4) What voltage does the Paxton metal keypad need, and can I run it off my existing access control power supply?
The keypad runs on 10 to 14V DC, which is the normal 12V DC range an access control panel or a standard 12V supply puts out. It wires as shown on the control unit label, so it takes its power and its data from the Paxton control unit rather than needing a separate supply at the door.
5) Do I get a mounting plate or a surface box with the Paxton vandal resistant keypad, and do I need to buy anything else to mount it?
The box ships with the keypad, a fitting kit for metal readers and keypads, the vandal resistant keypad mounting plate, and the vandal resistant keypad backbox assembly. Security fixing screws are part of the design. So the mounting hardware is in the carton; what you supply is the cable run back to the control unit and the control unit itself.
6) Is a metal keypad worth it over a plastic one for a building that gets abuse?
For a multi-family entry, a parking gate, a school exterior, or anywhere the reader is unsupervised, the cast metal housing and the security fixing screws are the point. A standard plastic reader is fine on an interior office door where the failure mode is wear, not attack. On an exposed opening the metal body plus the IPX7 rating is what keeps the device on the wall and working.
7) Can users see the Paxton keypad buttons in the dark?
The keys are backlit, so a covered entry, a stairwell, or a gate with no dedicated lighting is workable without adding a fixture. It is a 13 key layout, digits plus function keys, with an audible tone on every code entry so the user gets feedback even before the LED registers.
8) How does the Paxton keypad tell someone their code was accepted or rejected?
The LEDs sit Green by default. A valid code makes the reader flash Green; a rejected code flashes Red. An audible tone sounds either way. That matters when you are training tenants or staff, because the failure state is visible from the door and you can tell a wrong PIN from a dead reader at a glance.
9) What finish does the Paxton vandal resistant metal keypad come in?
Chrome plated is the finish, over the zinc alloy body. On a storefront or an aluminum entry that reads close to the satin and bright hardware already on the opening; if your building standard is dark bronze or black, this one will stand out against it.
