A proximity card reader is a device used to read information stored on a proximity card, typically used for access control systems. Here are the basic steps to use a proximity card reader:
- Approach the card reader: Hold your proximity card within a few inches of the card reader.
- Wait for the beep: When you hold your card near the reader, it will emit a beep indicating that it has successfully read the information stored on your card.
- Wait for access approval: Depending on the type of system being used, the reader will either grant or deny access based on the information stored on your card. If you are granted access, the door or gate will typically unlock or open automatically.
- Remove your card: After the reader has approved your access, remove your proximity card from the vicinity of the reader.
It’s important to note that the exact steps may vary depending on the specific card reader and access control system being used. Some readers may require you to hold the card in a specific orientation or direction, while others may require you to enter a code or present a fingerprint in addition to using the card. If you are unsure how to use a specific card reader, consult the manufacturer’s instructions or seek assistance from a knowledgeable technician.
