HID A2 CPU Face Reader

Notes For the normal use and function of the face recognition terminal, it is recommended that you read the following requirements carefully before installing the device:

• Target faces must be large enough with a horizontal width of at least 80 pixels (preferably between 80-150 pixels).
• In order to ensure accurate intelligent analysis of the face recognition terminal, the local or large-area light fill-in is required in heavily backlit or dim scenes. The background illumination must not be lower than 50 lux, and the illumination on faces cannot be lower than 20 lux.
• Although the device has an enhanced face exposure feature targeted for backlit scenes, for a good recognition effect, strong backlighting needs to be avoided as practicably as possible.
• Try not to cover the target face, so that the device can observe the face contour clearly.
• The deflection angle of the face is less than 15°.
• Before testing the device, please tear off the protective film, otherwise it will affect the recognition performance.

Important Safety Precautions

The following is about how to use the device properly, as well as information on preventing danger and avoiding property loss. Please read the Guide carefully before use, and strictly follow the instructions herein. Please keep the Guide properly after reading.

Requirements for Use
Power Supply Requirements

• Strictly abide by the local electrical safety standards strictly during the installation and use of the device. Please choose a power supply that meets the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) requirements and conforms to the Limited Power Source (rated voltage: DC 12V) as per IEC60950-1.
• Please install an easy-to-use breaker in the wiring room for emergency power-off when necessary.
• Before running the device, please check and verify that the power supply is in good condition.
• Please protect the power cord from being stepped on or squeezed, especially at the plug, power socket, and connection where the power cord is leading from the device.

Service Environment Requirements

• Please avoid pointing the device at blaze (such as lamp light and sunlight), otherwise, the resulting overbrightness or glare (which is not a device failure) will undermine the service life of photosensitive components.
• Please transport, use, and store the device within the allowable humidity and temperature range. Do not put the device in places with moisture, dust, extreme heat, extreme cold, strong electromagnetic radiation, or unstable lighting conditions.
• Please keep the device from water or any other liquid to avoid any damage to internal components.
• During transportation, storage, and installation, protect the device against any damage caused by heavy loads, severe vibration, etc.
• Before shipping the terminal device, repack it as it is delivered from the factory, or pack it with the equivalent packaging materials.
• It is recommended that the device work together with a lightning protector for better lightning protection.
• It is recommended that the device be grounded for higher reliability.

Operation and Maintenance 

• Do not disassemble the device. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Clean the body with a soft dry cloth. In case of any stubborn stain, wipe it down using a clean soft cloth dipped with a small amount of neutral detergent, and then dry it. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene, and thinner, nor strong, abrasive cleaners; otherwise, this may cause surface coating damage or performance decline of the terminal device.

Warning

• The device shall be installed and repaired by professionals. Do not disassemble and repair it by yourself. Use the parts and accessories specified by the manufacturer only.
• Photosensitive components may be damaged by laser beams, so when using a laser beam machine, please protect the device surface from being exposed to laser beams.

Device Installation

The wall-mounted installation process of the terminal device is as follows: 

1. The horizontal distance between the terminal device and the face surveillance point is about 0.5-1.2 m;
2. The recommended indoor illumination is above 200 lux;
3. The illumination difference between the left and right or upper and lower sides of the face shall not exceed 50 lux;
4. The recognition height range of the terminal device is 1.2-2.2 m; the vertical adjustment angle of the terminal device is below 15°.

The wall-mounted installation process is as follows: (you can also refer to this installation diagram for models without a temperature measuring head)

1. Drill holes in line with the hole positions of the wall-mounted bracket, and insert white screw rubber sleeves into the drilled holes on the wall.
2. Place the wall-mounted bracket over the corresponding white screw rubber sleeves, and fixit with screws.
3. Align the device rack with the screw holes on the back of the device, and fix them with screws.
4. Refer to Figure ④ to hang the terminal device on the wall-mounted bracket, and screw setscrews into the bracket fixation holes of the terminal device using an L-shaped Allenwrench.

Connect the network cables
Insert components 1, 2 and 3 of the waterproof kit into the network cable in turn (if the network cable crystal head with a sheath cannot be inserted, please peel off the sheath; if the sheath cannot be peeled off, please cut off the crystal head and rivet it again). Install all components in the order shown in the figure. The waterproof connector of the network cable must be tightened in place, otherwise, it may fall off.

Attention

• All cables such as power cable, network cable etc., including thetail wire not be used. All need to make waterproof and insulation measurement.
• Check 1f cable has been connected properly and work well before making waterproof and insulation measurement, avoid to rework.
