- Connection via TCP/IP through a HUB.
Note: In a LAN, the IP addresses of the server (PC) and the device must be in the same network segment.

Controller Supported Reader Models
| Reader Model | 485 Unencrypted | 485 Encryption | OSDP Unencrypted | OSDP Encryption |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProlD100 Series | ✔️ | ❌ | ✔️ | ❌ |
| QR50/QR500/QR600 | ✔️ | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ |
Remarks:
- ✔️ means connectable, ❌ means not connectable.
- In 485 communication encryption mode, the ProlD100 reader supports tamper alarm function. When the reader is illegally tampered with, it will send a tamper signal to the controller via 485, and the controller will report to the software to form a tamper alarm event. Users can configure the alarm linkage on the software side and connect the alarm to the auxiliary output. Encryption is turned on on the software side via the
Access > Access Device > Reader > Encryptpath.
Important Notes:
- RS485 communication wires should be a shielded twisted pair cable. RS485 communication wires should be connected in a bus cascade topology instead of a star topology, to achieve a better shielding effect by reducing signal reflection during communications.
- A single RS485 bus can connect up to 63 access control panels, but preferably 32 is recommended maximum.
- To eliminate signal attenuation in communication cables and suppress interference, if the bus is longer than 200 meters, set the number 8 DIP switch to the ON position. The number 8 DIP switch is for setting the RS485 termination resistance. This is equivalent to a parallel connection of one 120ohm resistance between the 485+ and 485- lines.
Diagrams show DIP switch settings for SINGLE and MULTI AC02-C1XH-U10 configurations for distances over 200 meters.
13. Connecting EX0808 through PC485
Diagram shows connecting up to eight EX0808 expansion boards via PC485 to the controller.
- Protocols: ZK485 or OSDP.
- Connections: PC (485+, 485-, GND), OSDP, and +12V DC for each EX0808 board.
Important Notes:
- Configure the ZK485 protocol through the PC485 port to connect up to eight EX0808 expansion boards. Note: Set DIP switch #5 of the expansion board to the OFF position.
- Configure the OSDP protocol through the PC485 port to connect up to eight EX0808 expansion boards. Note: Set DIP switch #5 of the expansion board to the ON position.
- The RS485/OSDP address of each EX0808 is set via the DIP switch before power is applied.
- Each EX0808 requires a separate power supply. Up to eight auxiliary input devices and eight auxiliary output devices can be connected to one EX0808.
Note: PC485 communication function is a customized function, not standard, please contact your dealer if you need it.
DIP Switch Setting for RS485/OSDP Communication
This section details the DIP switch settings for the EX0808 expansion board.
| Description | RS485 Address | DIP Switch | RS485 Address | DIP Switch | RS485 Address | DIP Switch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ON | 6 | ON | 11 | ON | |
| 2 | ON | 7 | ON | 12 | ON | |
| 1 2 4 8 | 3 | ON | 8 | ON | 13 | ON |
| MODE (RS485/OSDP) | 4 | ON | 9 | ON | 14 | ON |
| RS485 Terminal Resistance | 5 | ON | 10 | ON | 15 | ON |
Important Notes:
There are six DIP switches on the EX0808 expansion board and their functions are:
- Switches 1-4 are used to set the RS485/OSDP addresses.
- Switch 5 is for RS485/OSDP mode switching. When set to OFF, RS485 mode is used, and when set to ON, OSDP mode is used.
- If the cable length is more than 200 meters, the switch 6 should be ON for noise reduction on long RS485 cables.
14. Lock Relay Connection
Controller not sharing power with the lock(Dry Connect)
Diagram shows the connection for a "Dry Connect" setup where the controller does not share power with the lock.
- Connections include Door Sensor, Lock Power, Normally Closed Lock, and controller terminals (LOCK1: SEN, GND, NO, COM, NC).
- Note: Do not reverse the polarity.
Switching dry and wet modes
Important Notes:
Dry Mode supports separate power supply for the lock using an external independent power supply. Wet Mode supports the lock sharing power with the controller. The factory default jumper setting is dry mode. Switch between wet and dry mode by following the steps below.
- Select the appropriate lock relay and locate its jumper on the controller.
- Remove the jumpers and change the jumper from [image of jumper position 1] to [image of jumper position 2].
- Once this is done you can follow the wiring of the controller sharing power with the lock.
Diagrams illustrate Dry Mode and Wet Mode configurations.
Controller sharing power with the lock(Wet Connect)
Normally Opened Lock Powered From Lock Terminal:
Diagram shows wiring for a Normally Opened Lock powered directly from the controller's lock terminal.
- Connections include +12V DC, GND, 12V DC, FR107, and controller terminals (LOCK: V+, V-, LOCK1: SEN, GND, NO, COM, NC).
- Note: Do not reverse the polarity.
Normally Closed Lock Powered From Lock Terminal:
Diagram shows wiring for a Normally Closed Lock powered directly from the controller's lock terminal.
- Connections include +12V DC, GND, 12V DC, FR107, and controller terminals (LOCK: V+, V-, LOCK1: SEN, GND, NO, COM, NC).
- Note: Do not reverse the polarity.
15. DIP Switch Setting
Diagram shows an 8-position DIP switch. Switches 1-6 are for setting the device number for RS485 communication. Switch 7 is for restoring factory settings. Switch 8 is for RS485 Terminal Resistance.
Explanation:
- Number 1-6 are reserved to set the device number for RS485 communication. The code is binary, and the numbering starts from left to right. When the switch is set to ON position, it indicates 1 (on); when the switch is set downwards, it indicates 0 (OFF).
- For example, to set a device number 39=1+2+4+32, which corresponds to the binary code 111001, put number 1, 2, 3, and 6 to ON position, as illustrated below.
Diagram shows initial state (000000) and final state (111001) for setting device number 39.
16. Restore Factory Setting
Diagram shows an 8-position DIP switch, highlighting switch 7 for "Restore Factory Setting".
Procedure:
- If the IP address is forgotten or the device is not working normally, use DIP switch #7 to restore factory default settings (device IP address, communication password, gateway, and subnet mask).
- The switch is OFF by default. Move switch #7 up and down three times within 10 seconds and finally return it to the OFF position. Factory settings will be restored after the access control panel restarts.
- The procedure is shown with diagrams illustrating Default Position (OFF), ON, and Final Position (OFF) for switch 7.
To reset factory settings: Turn #7 switch ON and OFF. Repeat process 3 times.
17. Troubleshooting
Frequently Asked Questions:
- How to switch four door one way to two door two way? Connect four readers from reader 1 to reader 4. Connect two door locks, one to LOCK1, another to LOCK3. Configure reader 1-Indoor and reader 2-Outdoor in the software.
- Can we integrate IP Camera and NVR? Yes, ZKBiosecurity software supports ZKTeco's IP Cameras and NVR. You can associate a camera to the door and set up a linkage.
- What does it mean when I get a "Wiegand Format Error"? Your WD0 and WD1 wiring is reversed.
- How do I connect a third party reader or a stand-alone reader to a AC02-C1XH-U10 panel? Connect the Wiegand output to the WD0 and WD1 of the stand-alone readers on the panel's reader port. Note: The board can only supply 12 V DC, 300mA power, so an external power supply may be required.
- What is the SD card slot used for? The SD card stores transactions from the panel and creates a backup in addition to internal memory.
- What kind of wire is recommended for the panel? 16 or 18 AWG twisted shielded wire is recommended.
- What is the default IP of the panel? 192.168.1.201
- How long is the device under warranty? 2 Years from the original purchase date. Replacement/repair of hardware under ZK standard warranty requires an evaluation of the failed system by a ZK Technical Support specialist, and the issuance of a Technical Support RMA number.
