Installation Guide
Step 1
Determine the Location and Positioning
of the Installation
Avoid installing the terminals in locations that has contact with
•
a strong light source (e.g direct sunlight, spotlight, fluorescent
light, etc)
Step 3
Wiring for Power Supply
The power input port for AC900 is located at the rear of the terminal. There is no adapter plug supplied with AC900, instead you
need to source for power cable (red and black cables) to connect
AC900 and AdapTec.
TCP/IP Port (LAN)

• Avoid installing the terminals in locations with high moisture or
condensation levels in the air
• The recommended installation height of the terminal from the
ground is 1.2 meter.

After determining the height of the terminal from the ground
level and have made the relevant marks on the wall, based on
the measurements in Appendix II, drill the screws into the wall to
hang the terminals.

Step 4
Setting Up Data Communications
Other Accessories
Note: All Accessories are offered at http://accessory.fingertec.com
TCP/IP – LAN Connection
For TCP/IP connection, plug the special RJ45 jack into the TCP/IP
(LAN) Port of the terminal. Connect the other end (normal RJ45
jack) to the local area network hub or a PC. Configure the device
ID, IP address, subnet mask and Gateway in the terminal (refer to
the hardware user manual for details).
RS232 – Serial Port Connection
Plug the communication jack that is provided in the package to
connect to the communication port of the terminal. Select wires
with label RX, TX and GND, and connect the other end of these
wires to a DB9 female connector. Configure the device ID and
baudrate of the terminal (refer to the hardware user manual for
details). Use the normal RS232 cable to plug into the RS232 port
of the terminal.
RS485 – Serial Port Connection
Plug the communication jack that is provided in the package to
connect to the communication port of the terminal. Select wires
with label RS485+, RS485- and GND, and connect the other end
of these wires to an RS232/485 data converter. Connect the other
end of the data converter to a DB9 female connector. Configure
the device ID and baudrate of the terminal (refer to the hardware
user manual for details).
Step 5
Finalizing the installation
1. Check that all cable connections are done correctly.
2. Attach the terminal to the corresponding back plate,
tighten the screws to secure the terminal on the wall
3. Switch on the power to the terminal.
4. Start using the terminal.

AdapTec AC
The AdapTec AC is a 12VDC power supply inclusive of a 110~240VAC
switching linear power. The AdapTec supplies 12VDC power to the
FingerTec terminal and door lock system as well as charges a 12VDC
7.0Ah backup battery simultaneously. During an event of a power
failure, the back up battery automatically provides power to the
terminal and maintains the door lock system. The AdapTec AC also
prevents a secured door from being opened if it has been tampered
with.
Enclosures
FingerTec offers enclosures to protect the terminals from being
meddled with by unauthorized persons.
Door Lock Accessories
FingerTec offers various door locks accessories to complement FingerTec door access product range.
