Cautions: Neglecting any of the cautions may cause injury or equipment damage. Follow these precautions to prevent potential injury or material damage.

Danger:

• All electronic operations should be strictly compliance with the electrical safety regulations, fire prevention regulations, and other related regulations in your local region.
• Please use the power adapter, which is provided by the company. The power consumption cannot be less than the required value.
• Do not connect several devices to one power adapter as adapter overload may cause over-heat or fire hazard.
• Please make sure that the power has been disconnected before you wire, install or dismantle the device.
• When the product is installed on walls or ceiling, the device shall be firmly fixed.
• If smoke, odors or noise rise from the device, turn off the power at once and unplug the power cable, and then please contact the service center.
• Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type
• Improper replacement of the battery with an incorrect type may defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of some lithium battery types).
• This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
• Do not dispose of the battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crush or cut the battery, which may result in an explosion.
• Do not leave the battery in an extremely high temperature environment, which may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• Do not subject the battery to extremely low air pressure, which may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions
• If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center. Never attempt to disassemble the device yourself. (We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.)

Cautions

• Do not drop the device or subject it to physical shock, and do not expose it to high electromagnetism radiation. Avoid the equipment installation on vibrating surface or places subject to shock (ignorance can cause equipment damage).
• Do not place the device in extremely hot (refer to the specification of the device for the detailed operating temperature), cold, dusty or damp locations, and do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.
• The device cover for indoor use shall be kept from rain and moisture.
• Exposing the equipment to direct sun light, low ventilation or heat source such as heater or radiator is forbidden (ignorance can cause fire danger).
• Do not aim the device at the sun or extra bright places. A blooming or smear may occur otherwise (which is not a malfunction however), and affecting the endurance of sensor at the same time.
• Please use the provided glove when opening up the device cover, avoid direct contact with the device cover, because the acidic sweat of the fingers may erode the surface coating of the device cover.
• Please use a soft and dry cloth when cleaning inside and outside surfaces of the device cover, do not use alkaline detergents.

• Improper use or replacement of the battery may result in hazard of explosion. Replace with the same or equivalent type only. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
• Biometric recognition products are not 100% applicable to anti-spoofing environments. If you require a higher security level, use multiple authentication modes.
• Working temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C; Working humidity: 10% to 90% (no condensing)
• Indoor use. The device should be at least 2 meters away from the light, and at least 3 meters away from the window.
• Outdoor use or use in environment exceeding the device temperature measurement will affect the temperature measurement accuracy.

Introduction

Package Content

Physical Description

Wiring

• The device comes with a wire cable that connects to power input, serial device, Wiegand device, alarm input/output devices, and door lock, among others. The wires are color-coded and labeled for easy wiring. After wiring to external devices, connect the
• wafer terminal connector to the device.
• You can connect a card reader using RS-485 connection. Connect the NC/NO and COM terminals to the door lock, connect the SEN and GND terminals to the door contact, and the BTN/GND terminal with the exit button, then connect the Wiegand terminal
• to the access controller.
• When you connect an access controller through Wiegand, the face recognition device can send authentication data to the access controller. The access controller will then decide whether to unlock the door based on this information.

NOTE: A power adapter is not supplied with the device, contact sales to purchase separately. Individual power supply is also needed for external devices like card readers, exit buttons, door locks, etc.
