Figure 4: Visual representation of the SECUKEY SF2's IP66 waterproof capability, showing it submerged in water. - Operating Temperature: The device is designed to operate reliably across a wide temperature range, from -30°C (default) to 60°C. An optional -40°C operating temperature may be available depending on the specific model variant.
- Higher Security PIN: The system supports a feature allowing users to hide their correct PIN within a longer sequence of numbers (up to 10 digits) for enhanced security against shoulder surfing. For example, if the PIN is 245689, a user could input **245689** or *245689***.
4. Installation
4.1 Mounting
The SECUKEY SF2 should be mounted on a flat, stable surface at an appropriate height for user access. Ensure the mounting location is secure and allows for proper cable routing. Use appropriate screws and anchors for the wall material.
4.2 Wiring
The SF2 supports two primary working modes: standalone and as a slave reader. Proper wiring is crucial for correct operation. Refer to the detailed wiring diagram provided in the product packaging or the manufacturer's official documentation for specific connections.
Standalone Mode: In this mode, the SF2 directly controls the lock, door sensor, and exit button. It acts as a complete access control unit.
Slave Reader Mode: When operating as a slave reader, the SF2 connects to an external access control panel (controller) via Wiegand 26-44 bit output. The controller then manages the lock and other peripherals.
Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. Incorrect wiring can damage the device or connected components.
5. Setup
5.1 Initial Power-Up
- After completing all wiring, connect the power supply (12-24V AC/DC).
- The device will power on and perform a self-test.
- The default administrator PIN is typically 123456 (refer to specific product documentation for confirmation).
5.2 User Management
The SF2 allows for the registration of up to 3,000 users, including 1,000 fingerprint users and 2,000 PIN users. It also supports two "Authorizer" users who can enable or disable other users.
Adding an Administrator
Follow the on-screen prompts or refer to the detailed programming guide to set up the initial administrator PIN and/or fingerprint. This is crucial for managing other users and system settings.
Registering Fingerprints
- Enter administrator mode.
- Select the option to add a new fingerprint user.
- Place the user's finger on the sensor multiple times as instructed to ensure accurate registration.
- Assign a user ID to the registered fingerprint.
Registering PIN Codes
- Enter administrator mode.
- Select the option to add a new PIN user.
- Enter the desired PIN code (typically 4-6 digits) and confirm it.
- Assign a user ID to the registered PIN.
Authorizer Users
The SF2 supports two special "Authorizer" users. These users have the unique ability to enable or disable other standard users without full administrator privileges. This feature is useful for delegated management of user access.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Access Modes
The SECUKEY SF2 offers multiple ways for authorized users to gain access:
- Fingerprint Access: Place a registered finger on the optical sensor. The system will verify the fingerprint and grant access if authorized.
- PIN Code Access: Enter your registered PIN code on the keypad, followed by the '#' key. For enhanced security, you can embed your PIN within a longer sequence of numbers (e.g., if PIN is 1234, you can enter 987123456#).
- Card Access (Wiegand): If configured with an external Wiegand card reader, present your authorized RFID card to the reader. The SF2 will output the Wiegand data to the controller for verification.
6.2 Interlock Function
When two SF2 devices are installed, they can be configured to manage an interlock system between two doors. This ensures that the second door cannot be opened until the first door is securely closed, enhancing security in sensitive areas. Refer to the advanced programming guide for interlock setup instructions.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the fingerprint sensor and keypad with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners.
- Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website periodically for any available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
- User Database Management: Regularly review and update the user database, removing access for terminated personnel or adding new users as required.
- Power Supply Check: Ensure the power supply is stable and within the specified voltage range (12-24V AC/DC).
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No power supply or incorrect wiring. | Check power connections and ensure the power supply is within 12-24V AC/DC. Verify wiring according to the diagram. |
| Fingerprint not recognized. | Finger is dirty, wet, or improperly placed; fingerprint not registered; sensor is dirty. | Ensure finger is clean and dry. Place the entire pad of the finger firmly on the sensor. Clean the sensor surface. Re-register the fingerprint if necessary. |
| PIN code not accepted. | Incorrect PIN entered; PIN not registered. | Verify the PIN code. Ensure the '#' key is pressed after entering the PIN. Register the PIN if it's a new user. |
| Door does not unlock after successful authentication. | Lock wiring issue; relay setting incorrect; lock malfunction. | Check wiring to the lock. Verify relay output time and mode (NO/NC). Test the lock independently. |
| Device is unresponsive. | System crash; power fluctuation. | Disconnect power for 30 seconds, then reconnect. If the issue persists, contact technical support. |
