Sygonix RFID/Fingerprint Access System

Intended use

This product is designed to prevent unauthorized access to doors (e.g., in an office) and to activate/disable alarm systems. Control can be exercised via suitable transponders or fingerprints. Holding a paired user transponder in front of the reading surface or placing a stored finger on the fingerprint sensor activates a potential-free relay changeover contact. This can be used, for example, to control a door opener or an alarm system.

The product is intended for vertical installation on a wall and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use (IP 66). Do not rebuild and/or modify this product. Using the product for purposes other than those described above may damage the product. Read the operating instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Only make this product available to third parties together with its operating instructions.

This product complies with statutory, national and European regulations. All company and product names contained herein are trademarks of their respective owners. All rights reserved.

Installation and connection

Use suitable screws and, if necessary, dowels to mount the mounting plate with the module on the wall (see figure on the right) depending on the type of wall.

The included mounting frame can be pre-installed depending on the substrate and installation position, and the access system should then be screwed tight. Suitable screws and, if necessary, dowels should be used depending on the substrate. A hole for the connecting cable must be drilled before fastening.

⚠️ Ensure that no cables or wires are damaged when drilling holes or tightening screws.

Wiring should be carried out according to the following examples. Ensure that there is suitable insulation (e.g. heat shrink tubing).

A protective diode is included for connecting a door opener. It protects the electronics from damage caused by voltage surges. Ensure the correct polarity, as shown in the following connection examples (when connected, the ring on the protective diode must face the positive pole/+).

⚠️ Never switch the mains voltage via the potential-free changeover contact! There is a risk of fatal electric shock! Observe the permissible contact rating; see "Technical data" chapter.

Use suitable cables with different colours. Note the colours and store this information together with these instructions. When connecting the cables, pay attention to the correct polarity (plus/+ and minus/-).

Connection to conventional voltage/power supply:

When a conventional power supply unit should be used, observe the wiring diagram on the right.

A) "Fail Secure" door opener: Releases the locking latch only when its operating voltage is applied (common design for front doors).

B) "Fail-safe" door opener: releases the locking latch only when the operating voltage is missing (uncommon design, e.g. used for escape route doors, which can be opened in the event of a power outage).

1. Access system
2. Door opener button
3. Power adapter
4. "Fail-Secure" door openers
5. "Fail-Safe" door openers

The included diode must be connected correctly near the door opener to protect the access system from voltage surges.

Connecting to alarm system

Observe the operating instructions for the alarm system used. The access system relay switches when a valid transponder is recognised or when a stored finger is placed on the sensor. The alarm system can thus be enabled or disabled.

Operation

Switch on the operating voltage after installation and connection. The access system LED lights up red. This indicates that the access system is in standby mode. You can now start programming.

Programming

The included transponder is normally paired as a master transponder and can be used to pair/save or delete user transponders and user fingerprints. In the section below you will find instructions on how to pair a master fingerprint.

a) Pairing a new master transponder and/or master fingerprint

A new master transponder can be paired if the currently used master transponder is lost or defective. There can be only one master transponder for security reasons (if a lost master transponder "shows up", it will no longer be recognised).

You can save a master fingerprint or a master transponder or both.

• Switch off the power supply and wait until the LED goes off.
• Press and hold down the door opener button and switch on the power supply. You will hear a beep (the LED briefly flashes red and green) and then the LED lights up red. Now release the door opener button. You will hear another beep and the LED lights up yellow.
• If you hear two beeps, you have waited too long. Switch off the power supply and start over.
• To save a master fingerprint, place the same finger three times on the sensor. As your finger touches the sensor, an LED ring around the sensor lights up blue. The LED ring lights up green and you will hear a beep when the fingerprint has been correctly recognised.
• If the fingerprint cannot be read correctly, you will hear three beeps and the LED ring will flash red. The same applies if you attempt to use a stored fingerprint as the new master fingerprint.
• To save a new transponder as a master transponder, hold the transponder in front of the sensor until you hear a beep. The new master card is saved.
• Once the master fingerprint and the master transponder have been saved, the programming mode is exited and the LED lights up red. When only one of the two types of access is used, wait a few seconds until the programming mode is automatically exited and the LED lights up red.

b) Saving a user transponder/fingerprint

• Hold the master transponder once in front of the sensor or place the master finger once on the fingerprint sensor. You will hear a beep and the LED lights up yellow. The pairing mode is enabled.
• Now pair a single user transponder or several user transponders one after another. You will hear a beep once every single user transponder is paired.
• If a newly paired transponder is used, you will hear three beeps and the LED flashes red.
• To pair a user fingerprint, place the same finger three times in succession on the fingerprint sensor. As your finger touches the sensor, an LED ring around the sensor lights up blue. The LED ring lights up green and you will hear a beep when the fingerprint has been correctly recognised.
• If the fingerprint cannot be read correctly, you will hear three beeps and the LED ring will flash red. The same applies if you attempt to read a stored fingerprint.
• Hold the master transponder once in front of the sensor or place the master finger once on the fingerprint sensor. You will hear a beep and the LED lights up red. The pairing mode is disabled.
• If no transponder or fingerprint is paired within 10 seconds, the pairing mode is automatically exited.

c) Deleting the user transponder

• Hold the master transponder twice in front of the sensor or place the master finger twice on the fingerprint sensor. Each time you hold it you will hear a beep and the LED lights up yellow. The delete mode is enabled.
• Hold the user transponder (or several user transponders one after another) you want to delete in front of the sensor. You will hear a beep once every single user transponder is deleted.
• If a newly deleted transponder is used, you will hear three beeps and the LED flashes red.
• To delete a user fingerprint, place your finger on the fingerprint sensor. As your finger touches the sensor, an LED ring around the sensor lights up blue. The LED ring lights up green and you will hear a beep when the fingerprint has been deleted.
• Hold the master transponder once in front of the sensor or place the master finger once on the fingerprint sensor. You will hear a beep and the LED lights up red. The delete mode is disabled.
• If no transponder or fingerprint is deleted within 10 seconds, the delete mode is automatically exited.

d) Setting relay switching time

By default, the relay is activated for 5 seconds when a paired user transponder/fingerprint is read. This time can be adjusted from 1 to 99 seconds and toggle mode (relay switches upon each reading) can be selected.

• Switch off the power supply and wait until the LED goes off.
• Press and hold down the door opener button and switch on the power supply. As you hold down the button, you will hear a beep. You should release the door opener button after two beeps. You will then hear a long beep and the LED lights up yellow; the relay setting mode is enabled.
• If you do not perform any further actions within 10 seconds, you will hear three beeps and the LED flashes red. The relay setting mode is disabled automatically.

Switching to toggle mode

• Keep the door opener button pressed until you hear three beeps. Now release the door opener button. The relay setting mode is now disabled.
• When a paired user transponder/fingerprint is read, the relay switches and remains in current switch position until another user transponder/fingerprint is read.

Setting the relay switching time

• Keep the door opener button pressed until you hear three beeps. As you hold down the button, you will hear a beep every second. The relay is activated for one second with a beep (time can be adjusted from 1 to 99 seconds).
• Release the door opener button when the required time has been reached (for example, if you release it after 8 beeps, the relay will be activated for 8 seconds when a paired user transponder/fingerprint is read). The relay setting mode is now disabled.

e) Resetting to factory defaults

• Switch off the power supply and wait until the LED goes off.
• Press and hold down the door opener button and switch on the power supply. As you hold down the button, you will hear a beep. After a while, you will hear two beeps followed by another three beeps. Now release the door opener button: the LED lights up yellow.
• Now press and hold down the door opener button for 10 seconds until you hear a long beep: the LED briefly lights up green and red. The access system is now reset to factory defaults. All stored data (transponders/fingerprints) are deleted and the relay switching time is reset to 5 seconds.
• You must first pair a new master transponder and/or master fingerprint before you can save user transponders/fingerprints.
