For detailed instructions on enrolling credentials, please refer to the official SALTO KS or SALTO Clay system administration guide or contact your system administrator.

3. Operating Instructions

Using the SALTO KS Tag for access is straightforward once it has been properly enrolled in your access control system.

3.1. Gaining Access

1. Locate Reader: Approach the door or access point equipped with a SALTO KS or SALTO Clay reader.
2. Present Tag: Hold the SALTO KS Tag firmly and flat against the reader's surface. Ensure the tag is within close proximity to the reader.
3. Wait for Indication: The reader will typically provide a visual (e.g., green light) and/or audible (e.g., beep) indication when access is granted. If access is denied, a different indication (e.g., red light) will be shown.
4. Open Door: Once access is granted, the door will unlock, allowing you to open it.

Avoid bending or forcefully inserting the tag into any slots, as this is not required and may damage the tag.

4. Maintenance

The SALTO KS Tag is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust, batteryless, and waterproof construction.

4.1. Cleaning

• General Cleaning: If the tag becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the tag's surface or internal components.

4.2. Storage

Store the tag in a cool, dry place when not in use. While durable, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

4.3. Handling

Although the tag is robust, avoid excessive force, bending, or dropping it from significant heights to prevent potential damage.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SALTO KS Tag, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Tag Not Recognized by Reader:
  • Proper Presentation: Ensure the tag is held flat against the reader and within its effective reading range.
  • Enrollment Status: Verify with your system administrator that the tag is correctly enrolled and active in the SALTO KS/Clay system.
  • Access Permissions: Confirm that the tag has the necessary access permissions for the specific door or area you are trying to access.
  • Reader Functionality: Check if other valid tags work with the same reader. If not, the reader itself might have an issue.
• Tag Lost or Stolen:
  • Report Immediately: Contact your system administrator immediately to report a lost or stolen tag.
  • Deactivate Tag: The administrator can deactivate the lost tag in the SALTO KS/Clay system to prevent unauthorized access.
• Physical Damage to Tag:
  • If the tag is visibly damaged (e.g., cracked, severely bent), it may no longer function correctly. A replacement tag will be required.

For persistent issues or complex problems, please contact your SALTO KS/Clay system administrator or SALTO Systems support.
