Industry Canada ICES-003 Compliance
This device meets the CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B) standards requirements.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radioexempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé à une distance minimale de 20 cm entre le radiateur et votre corps. Use only power supplies listed in the user instructions:
iii

If the product does not work properly, please contact your dealer or the nearest service center.
Never attempt to disassemble the device yourself. (We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.)
Cautions
Do not drop the device or subject it to physical shock, and do not expose it to high
electromagnetism radiation. Avoid the equipment installation on vibrations surface or places subject to shock (ignorance can cause equipment damage).
Do not place the device in extremely hot (refer to the specification of the device for the detailed
operating temperature), cold, dusty or damp locations, and do not expose it to high electromagnetic radiation.
The device cover for indoor use shall be kept from rain and moisture. Exposing the equipment to direct sun light, low ventilation or heat source such as heater or
radiator is forbidden (ignorance can cause fire danger).
iv
Do not aim the device at the sun or extra bright places. A blooming or smear may occur
otherwise (which is not a malfunction however), and affecting the endurance of sensor at the same time.
Please use the provided glove when open up the device cover, avoid direct contact with the

Chapter 5 Wiring Description

5.1 External Device Wiring Overview

Notes:
If set the working mode as the controller mode, the terminal can connect the RS-485 card
reader or security control unit via RS-485 protocol. For details about wiring of RS-485 card reader, see 5.2 The Wiring of External RS-485 Card Reader.
If set the working mode as the controller mode, the terminal cannot connect the Wiegand card
reader.
The security control unit can also connect the external devices. For details, see the specified
user manual of security control unit.
16

5.2 The Wiring of External RS-485 Card Reader

If set the working mode as the controller mode, the DIP switch No.6 should be set as OFF. If set the working mode as card reader mode, the DIP switch No. from 1 to 4 should be set as OFF. Set the external card reader’s RS-485 DIP switch to 2. For details about DIP switch configuration, see Appendix B DIP Switch Introduction.

5.3 Card Reader Connection

The access control terminal can be switched into the card reader mode. It can access to the access control as a card reader, and supports Wiegand communication port and RS-485 communication port.
When the access control terminal works as a card reader, it only supports being connected to the controller, but does not support alarm input or output, or the connection of external devices.
17

5.3.1 The Wiring of Wiegand

When the access control terminal works as a card reader, you must the WG_ERR, BUZZER and
WG_OK interfaces if you want to control the LED and buzzer of the Wiegand card reader.
Set the working mode of the terminal as card reader, if the terminal is required to work as a
card reader. The card reader mode support to communicate by Wiegand or RS-485.
The distance of Wiegand communication should be no longer than 80 m. The external power supply and the access control terminal should use the same GND cable.
18

5.3.2 The Wiring of RS-485 Output

Set the working mode of the terminal as card reader, if the terminal requires working as a card
reader.
When the access control terminal works as a RS-485 card reader, you can set the RS-485
address via the DIP switch.
The external power supply and the access control terminal should use the same GND cable.
