Enhanced Security with

l

AdapTec-X is a basic accessory suggested for FingerTec ac­cess control systems. It enhances access control functionali­ties as well as eases the installation process with its encrypt­ed communication and secure I/O expansion features and all
these features are compressed into a sleek casing to deliver a
cost effective solution.

HOW ADAPTECX ENHANCES SECURITY

To provide you enhanced security, AdapTec-X will only recognize
encrypted Wiegand signals from FingerTec terminals in order to un­lock its doors. The code of the encrypted signals is written into the
firmware of FingerTec terminals, which cannot be duplicated into
other devices. This prevents hackers from bypassing this by simply
providing the relay signal to AdapTec-X. Furthermore, separate pow­er outputs for the door lock system and FingerTec terminals will keep
the door locked even during any failures (i.e.: vandalism to terminals,
etc.). For added security, a siren output port is ready to be linked up
to alarms or sirens to produce alert sounds in case of forced door
openings.

UNDERSTANDING ADAPTECX FUNCTIONS

Enhanced Security with Encrypted Signals

It supports FingerTec encrypted 26-bit Wiegand communication
output; providing enhanced security level for extra protection.

Power Up Terminals & Door Lock Systems

A single AdapTec-X can support a maximum of 2 units of FingerTec
terminals and 2 sets of door lock accessories such as the EM lock and
drop bolt in one single system installation.

Prolonged Life Span of Hardware

With data encryption, the life span of the terminals can be prolonged
without the risk of short-circuiting when using AdapTec-X.

Control IN/OUT Terminals at an Entrance

AdapTec-X is a perfect choice for an IN/OUT installation, where a
door is controlled both at the entrance and the exit.

Supports Rechargeable Backup Battery

Connects well to any 12VDC rechargeable backup battery, providing
power to ensure protection of access during any events of power
failure.

Emergency Alerts with Siren

Compatible with an NC siren type with a maximum of 0.5A load for
an emergency event e.g. if the terminal is being dismantled without
authorization.

Seamless Integration with FingerTec Terminals

Mix and match the FingerTec terminals via AdapTec-X for a cost ef­fective access control system suitable for small and medium sized
offices.

Adjust the door lock timer for a longer or shorter unlocking time period by turn-

ing the screw clockwise. Count the LED blinks after turning it. Each blink repre­sents 1 second and the recommended time period is 5 seconds (5 blinks).

The LED lights up to indicate the following:

• EM lock LED - The EM lock system is charged up and working properly.

• Status LED - The overall system is working properly.

(Note: Contact [e-mail] if either of the above LED lights are not lit up.)

• Bat Low LED - The battery is weak and needs to be charged or replaced.

DETAILS OF WIRING

AdapTec-X supports 2 types of installations, Convenient or Secure. You can select between
modes by applying different wiring arrangements during installation. Under Convenient
mode, AdapTec-X will unlock doors immediately after receiving responses from FingerTec
devices. This feature is supported by all FingerTec models.

For installations using Secure mode, there will be a 1s time delay when unlocking the door
after verification at FingerTec devices. This delay is due to the 26-bit Wiegand transmission of
encrypted password from device to AdapTec-X. This is an optional security feature provided
by AdapTec-X for users who favor more security (slight delay) over convenience (no delays).

AdapTec-X works with FingerTec terminals via an encrypted Wiegand signal to control the
door open-close mechanism. Please make sure you are using the following FingerTec models
that support the encrypted 26-bit Wiegand signal to work with the AdapTec-X to setup a
door lock system:

CONNECTING ADAPTECX TO AN ALARM SIREN

For all FingerTec door access control models, there is a security
button behind the terminal. During normal operation, the secu­rity button is compressed and once the terminal is dismantled,
the button will be released and a “System broken” message will
appear onscreen.

During the release of the button, the terminal will output an alarm signal. How­ever, no alarm sound will be emitted if the terminal is not equipped with an
external siren.To use the siren feature, we recommend that you install an ad­ditional alarm siren and connect it to the FingerTec terminals.

Benefi ts of Using AdapTec-X with Alarm Siren

We recommend that you install a terminal along with AdapTec-X if you plan
to use the alarm siren. In AdapTec-X, an additional port is readily built to re­ceive the alarm signal from the FingerTec terminals. AdapTec-X has an output
of DC12V and it is suitable for use with an alarm siren that has the same power
input. You do not need to source an additional DC12V power supply for this
purpose. Furthermore, AdapTec-X comes with a “Siren Mute” button where

you can press the button to deactivate the alarm siren when required.
