Programming

The programming process will vary based on the access configuration. Ensure you follow the instructions specific to your chosen configuration.

  • User ID number: Assign a user ID to access card/PIN in order to track it
    • Common User IDs:
      • PIN/Card user ID: 100 - 987
      • Panic user ID: 988 - 989
      • Visitor user ID: 990 - 999

Note: User IDs do not require leading zeros. It is crucial to record the User ID accurately. Any modifications to the User ID will require access to the original User ID.

  • Proximity Card: EM Card or EM + Mifare cards
  • PIN: Can be any 4-6 digits, except 8888 which is reserved.
Add Card User
  1. Entering Programming Mode:
    To enter programming mode, press *, followed by the Master Code, and then #.
  2. Adding a Card User:
    There are three methods to add a card user:
    1. Using Auto ID:
      Automatically assigns the next available User ID, allowing cards to be added consecutively.
      1. Enter: 1.
      2. Either swipe the card on the reader or manually input the 8, 10, or 17-digit card number, and then press #.
    2. Assigning a Specific User ID:
      Assign a specific User ID (e.g., 101 for the first user) to the card. Cards can also be added consecutively using this method.
      1. Enter: 1 User ID #.
      2. Either swipe the card on the reader or manually input the 8, 10, or 17-digit card number, and then press #.
    3. Registering Cards in Bulk:
      Allows up to 888 cards to be added to the reader in one step.
      1. Enter: 1 User ID # Card Quantity #.
      2. Then, input the 8, 10, or 17-digit number of the first card, and press #.

Important Note:

  • Card numbers must be added in consecutive order.
  • Card Quantity refers to the total number of cards being enrolled in this batch.
Add PIN User
  1. Entering Programming Mode:
    To enter programming mode, press *, followed by the Master Code, and then #.
  2. Adding a PIN User:
    There are two methods to add a PIN user:
    1. Using Auto ID:
      1. Automatically assigns the next available User ID, allowing PINs to be added consecutively.
      2. Enter: 1, followed by the desired PIN, and then #.
    2. Assigning a Specific User ID:
      1. Enter: 1 User ID, PIN #.

Important Notes:

  • PINs can be 4 to 6 digits long.
  • Keep a record of assigned User IDs to prevent duplication or confusion.
  • Ensure the User ID falls within the appropriate range for the user type: 100–987 for cards.
Add Panic User
  1. Enter Programming Mode:
    1. Press *, followed by the Master Code, and then #.

Panic User IDs are 988 and 989.

  1. Add a Panic User:
    1. Card User: Press 1, followed by 988 or 989, swipe the card to register it as a Panic User and then #.
    2. PIN User: Press 1, followed by 988 or 989, enter the desired 4–6 digit PIN, followed by #.
  2. Exit Programming Mode:
    1. Press * to exit programming mode.

Important Notes:

  • Panic users are typically configured for emergency access scenarios.
  • Ensure that these IDs are reserved for authorized personnel only, as they might trigger specific emergency features.
Add Visitor Users
  1. Enter Programming Mode:
    1. Press *, followed by the Master Code, and then #.

Visitor User IDs are reserved as 990 to 999.

  1. Add a Visitor User:
    1. Card User: Press 1, followed by 990 to 999, swipe the card to assign it as a visitor user, then #.
    2. PIN User: Press 1, followed by 990 to 999, enter the desired 4–6 digit PIN, followed by #.
  2. Exit Programming Mode:
    1. Press * to exit programming mode.

Important Notes:

  • Visitor users are typically configured for temporary or guest access.
  • Ensure visitor IDs are monitored and properly deactivated when no longer needed.
  • Avoid using reserved numbers for non-visitor users to maintain consistency and system organization.
Change User PIN

The following actions are performed outside of programming mode and can be completed by users independently.

  • To change the PIN for an existing user, follow these steps:
    • Enter *, followed by the User ID # Old PIN # New PIN #, New PIN one more time, then #.
  • To Change the PIN of a Card (The system will automatically allocate the PIN 8888 to cards during the adding process.):
    • Enter *, Read Card, Old PIN # New PIN #, New PIN one more time, then #.

Important Notes:

  • The PIN must be 4 to 6 digits long.
  • Avoid using reserved PINs like 8888.
  • Always keep a record of User IDs and PINs for accurate management.
Delete Users
  1. Enter Programming Mode:
    1. Press *, followed by the Master Code, and then #.
  2. Delete a User by User ID:
    1. Enter 2, followed by the User ID, and then #.
    2. The system will confirm the deletion with a beep.
  3. Delete a User by Card Number:
    1. Enter 2, then input the Card Number, and press #.
    2. The system will confirm the deletion with a beep.
  4. Delete All Users:
    1. Enter 2, then Master Code, and #.
    2. All users will be deleted, and the system will confirm with a beep.
  5. Exit Programming Mode:
    1. Press * to exit.

Important Notes:

  • Always record and verify User IDs or Card Numbers before deletion to prevent accidental loss of important users.
  • Deleting all users cannot be undone; ensure it is used with caution.
Set Relay Configuration

The relay configuration determines the behavior of the output relay during activation. The configuration can be adjusted as follows:

  1. Enter Programming Mode:
    1. Press *, followed by the Master Code, and then #.

User Information Transfer (Valid for Card/PIN Users)

This feature allows the transfer of enrolled user data (cards, PINs) from one device (referred to as the "Master Unit") to another device (referred to as the "Accept Unit").

Note:

  • The Master Unit and Accept Unit must be devices of the same series.
  • The Master Code of both the Master Unit and Accept Unit must be identical.
  • Perform the transfer operation only on the Master Unit.
  • If the Accept Unit already has users enrolled, they will be overwritten after the transfer.
  • Transferring the maximum of 900 users takes approximately 30 seconds.
Connection Diagram
Set Transferring on Master Unit

Interlock

The device supports the Interlock Function, which is designed for managing two devices controlling two doors. It is primarily used in banks, prisons, and other locations requiring a higher level of security.

Connection Diagram
Interlock Setup and Configuration

A Door Contact must be installed and connected as shown in the diagram.

Let’s name the two devices as “A” and “B” for two doors “1” and “2”.

Step 1: Enroll Users

  • Enroll the users on Device A.
  • Transfer the user information to Device B using the User Information Transfer function.

Step 2: Set Both Devices (A and B) to Interlock Function

  1. Enter Program Mode:
    1. Press *, followed by the Master Code, and then #
  2. Configure Interlock:
    1. Disable Interlock: Enter 9 0 # (factory default).
    2. Enable Interlock: Enter 9 1 #
  3. Exit Program Mode:
    1. Press *

If interlock is enabled:

  • When only Door 2 is closed, the user can read the valid fingerprint/card or input a PIN on Reader A to open Door 1.
  • Similarly, when only Door 1 is closed, the user can read a valid fingerprint/card or input a PIN on Reader B to open Door 2.
