2. Structure and Function

Access Control System Function:

1. When a registered user's identity is verified, the access control device will send out a signal to unlock the door.
2. The door sensor will detect the status of the lock. If the door is unexpectedly opened or improperly closed, an alarm will be triggered.
3. It supports the exit button for opening the door from inside.
4. It supports a door bell.
5. If the access control device is dismantled, the alarm will be triggered.

Warning: No operation when power on!

1. The system supports NO LOCK and NC LOCK. The NO LOCK (normally open at power ON) is connected with the NO terminal, and the NC LOCK is connected with the NC terminal.
2. To prevent the generation of self-inductance EMF which would affect the system, when the electrical lock is linked to the Access Control System, it is required to connect one FR107 diode (equipped in the package, do not reverse the polarities) in parallel in order to release the self-inductance EMF.

1) Device shares power with the lock

The device shares power with the lock, when U_LOCK=12V and I_LOCK >1A, and the lock is near to the device.

6. Instructions

1. Step 1: Power ON after the device is completely installed.
2. Step 2: Verify administrator using default password and register fingerprint immediately. Adjust access control parameters including 8 passwords, authentication mode, door sensor mode, alarm etc.
3. Step 3: You can register user, enroll card, fingerprint or 8 passwords.

7. Administrator Operation

To ensure data security of the device, users can operate the device only after the administrator password is authenticated.

❖ Register Administrator Fingerprint

Flow:

• Press 【*】 + 【#】
• Verify administrator fingerprint (The indicator turns green and makes a long beep)
• Press finger three times (The indicator turns green and makes a long beep)
• Press 【*】 to exit (The indicator turns green and makes a long beep)

Note: The default administrator password is 1234. You are advised to change the initial password at the beginning. After administrator fingerprint (only can register one fingerprint) registered successfully, the initial password will become invalid.

Changing Administrator Fingerprint

Flow:

• Press 【*】 + 【#】
• Verify administrator fingerprint (The indicator turns green and makes a long beep)
• Press 【8】 (The indicator turns green and makes a long beep)
• Press new fingerprint three times (The indicator turns green and makes a long beep)
• Press 【*】 to exit

Lost Administrator Fingerprint

If the administrator fingerprint is lost, please dismantle the device and wait 30 seconds when there is a short beep, then press the Tamper Switch three times to reset to the initial administrator password. Note: this operation must be done within 30 seconds. It makes a long beep after resetting successfully.

Note: The initial administrator password is 1234.

8. Adding/Editing Users

Each user can register up to 10 fingerprints and 1 card.

Flow:
