7.2. User Management (via App)
The app allows for adding, deleting, and managing up to 1000 users.
- Adding Users: In the app, navigate to the device settings. Select "User Management" or similar. You can add users by assigning unique access codes, RFID cards (if using a Wiegand reader), or fingerprints (if supported by the reader).
- Deleting Users: Select the user you wish to remove from the "User Management" list and confirm deletion.
- Temporary Codes: The system supports generating temporary access codes for guests or service personnel, which can be set to expire after a certain time or number of uses.
Figure 7.3: This image illustrates two key features: the ability to generate temporary access codes (represented by a combination lock) and the controller's compatibility with various Wiegand readers (26-44, 56, 58 bits), shown with a user presenting a card to a reader.
7.3. Wiegand Reader Integration
The controller is compatible with Wiegand 26-44 bit readers, and potentially 56 or 58 bit readers, allowing for various access methods like RFID cards or keypads.
- Connect your Wiegand reader to the "READER" terminals as per Section 6.
- Once connected, the reader will transmit card data or keypad entries to the controller for verification.
8. Operating Instructions
8.1. Remote Control Operation
The included remote control can be used to open the door or perform other functions within its range.
- Point the remote control towards the IR receiver on the controller.
- Press the designated button (e.g., "#" or a specific number) to trigger the door unlock function. Refer to the remote's specific programming for exact button functions.
8.2. App Operation
Once connected to the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app, you can:
- Remotely Unlock: Tap the unlock icon in the app to open the door from anywhere with internet access.
- Manage Users: Add, delete, or modify user access permissions.
- View Access Logs: Check who accessed the door and when (if supported by the app version).
- Set Schedules: Configure time-based access for specific users or groups.
8.3. Wiegand Reader Operation
If an external Wiegand reader is connected:
- Present a registered RFID card or enter a valid access code on the reader's keypad.
- Upon successful verification, the controller will activate the lock relay, granting access.
9. Maintenance
- Keep the controller clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Regularly check wiring connections for any signs of wear or looseness.
- Ensure the power supply is stable and within the specified voltage range.
- Periodically check for firmware updates through the Tuya Smart/Smart Life app to ensure optimal performance and security.
10. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Controller not powering on. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; faulty power adapter. | Check power connections. Ensure 12V DC power supply is connected correctly. Test power adapter. |
| Door not unlocking. | Incorrect lock wiring; lock malfunction; invalid access credential; controller not receiving signal. | Verify lock wiring (NC/NO/COM). Test the lock independently. Ensure access credential is valid and registered. Check remote/app signal. |
| Cannot connect to WiFi. | Incorrect WiFi password; 5GHz network; controller not in pairing mode; weak signal. | Ensure correct 2.4GHz WiFi network and password. Reset controller to enter pairing mode (refer to app instructions). Move controller closer to router. |
| Wiegand reader not working. | Incorrect reader wiring; incompatible reader; faulty reader. | Check D0, D1, DC+, GND wiring. Ensure reader is Wiegand 26-44 bit compatible. Test reader independently. |
