• Power: Connect the 12V DC 1.5A power adapter.
• TCP/IP: Connect an Ethernet cable for network communication.
• USB-Client/Host: Use for data transfer or connecting USB devices.
• Access Control: Wire electric locks, door sensors, exit buttons, alarms, and doorbells as per the diagram.
• RS232/RS485: For serial communication with other devices.

3. Initial Power-On

After all connections are secure, plug in the power adapter. The device will power on, and the TFT screen will display the boot-up sequence. Follow the on-screen prompts for initial configuration, such as language selection and date/time settings.

Operating Instructions

1. User Registration

To register a new user, navigate to the "User Management" menu on the device. You can register users by fingerprint, PIN, or optional RFID card.

1. Press the MENU button.
2. Select "User Mgt." and then "New User".
3. Enter a User ID.
4. Select "Enroll FP" to register a fingerprint. Place the finger on the sensor three times as prompted.
5. Optionally, set a PIN or enroll an RFID card.
6. Assign user roles (e.g., Administrator, User).
7. Save the user information.

2. Time Attendance

Users can clock in and out using their registered fingerprint, PIN, or card.

• Fingerprint: Place the registered finger on the optical sensor. A successful verification will be indicated on the screen.
• PIN: Enter the User ID, then press OK, enter the PIN, and press OK again.
• Card: Present the registered RFID card to the card reader.

The device will automatically record the time and status (e.g., In/Out) based on the Automatic Status Switch setting.

3. Access Control

For access control functionality, users verify their identity using their registered credentials. Upon successful verification, the connected electric lock will disengage for a set duration.

• Ensure the access control settings (e.g., door open time, anti-pass back) are configured in the system menu.
• Users present their fingerprint, PIN, or card to the device.
• If verification is successful, the door will unlock.

4. Data Management

Transaction data can be exported via USB or TCP/IP.

• USB Data Export: Connect a USB flash drive to the USB-Host port. Navigate to the "Data Mgt." menu and select "Download Attlog" or "Download User Info".
• TCP/IP Data Export: Ensure the device is connected to a network and configured with a valid IP address. Use the provided software SDK or compatible third-party applications to retrieve data from the device over the network.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the fingerprint sensor and screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or liquids directly on the device.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security. Follow the update instructions carefully.
• Data Backup: Periodically back up all transaction data and user information to an external storage device or server to prevent data loss.
• Battery Maintenance: The built-in battery provides backup power. If the device is not used for extended periods, ensure it is charged periodically to maintain battery health.
