1. Safety Precautions 1
1. Safety Precautions
Thank you for using our products. Please read this manual carefully before using this product for a
comprehensive understanding so as to avoid causing unnecessary damages to the product.
Important Notes
1. Do not place the device under strong light.
2. Use regulated 12V DC power source (separately purchased and recommend using
Uninterrupted Power Supply with backup battery option considering of power failure).
3. Do not place the device in a vulnerable location where it might be subjected to vandalism.
Before Installation
1. Prior to beginning installation, cut off all power to prevent personal injury and damage to the
device and peripheral equipment.
2. Connect the ground wire first, in order to prevent electro-static damage to the device.
3. Connect 12V DC power supply to the device at last. If the device does not operate properly,
always cut off power to it before examining/dismantling. Be advised that wiring the device
while power is on may cause damage to the terminal. Possible resulting damage from not
powering off the device prior to wiring is not covered by manufacturer’s warranty.

2 Installation & Quick Start Guide
4. Mount the device at a comfortable height, typically between 1.4~1.5 meter from the ground.
5. After installation, remove protective film from the device display and fingerprint sensor.
6. To prevent being accidentally locked out while testing the exit button, keep a person on the
inside of the door.
7. Run the auto-test function to confirm that installation is successful.
8. In order to maximize the life of the device, use the auto-sleep functions, sleep time could be
set in the system parameter menu.
9. The rated voltage of the device is DC 12V, and the rated current is 300mA. If the incorrect
voltage is used, the device may be damaged or may not operate the electric door lock (if
attached).
10. Improper wiring may cause the device's main circuit board and fingerprint sensor to burn out.
Resulting damage from improper wiring is not covered under manufacturer’s warranty.
11. Only use supplied transformer and cord. Do not attempt extending the cord by cutting and
splicing.
12. Refer to the user handbook and operating instructions for further information.

5. Installation 11
Selecting door lock: The choice of lock depends firstly on the door-electric strikes or bolts,
magnetic locks, turnstiles or barriers are all options depending firstly on the
architecture-and secondly on the required resistance to attach. Please
consult your supplier for more info.
Connect with electric lock: After the user verified the identity, the device will output the unlock
signal. The device supports NO (Normally Open) LOCK and NC
(Normally Close) LOCK.
NO LOCK: the door is normally open at power on, so it closes the door at power off.
NC LOCK: the door is normally closed at power on, so it opens the door at power off.
The device can supply power directly to a door lock, please refer to Figure 1, 2. (Ensure that proper
voltages are applied to the lock terminals and check on the current ratings of the locks.)
![](/img.php?id=3613870&img=bg10.png)
12 Installation & Quick Start Guide
However, in the following three scenarios, it is recommended that the door lock has an
independent power source, and is NOT powered by the device. Show as Figure 3, 4.
1. If the door lock voltage is not 12V DC, then provides separate power to the door lock.
The device and
lock are powered by
one adapter.
