or property loss.
The precaution measure is divided into Warnings and Cautions:

Warnings: Neglecting any of the warnings may cause serious injury or death.
Cautions: Neglecting any of the cautions may cause injury or equipment damage.

Warnings

 All the electronic operation should be strictly compliance with the electrical safety regulations,

fire prevention regulations and other related regulations in your local region.

 Please use the power adapter, which is provided by normal company. The power consumption

cannot be less than the required value.

 Do not connect several devices to one power adapter as adapter overload may cause over-heat

or fire hazard.

 Please make sure that the power has been disconnected before you wire, install or dismantle

the device.

 When the product is installed on wall or ceiling, the device shall be firmly fixed.
 If smoke, odors or noise rise from the device, turn off the power at once and unplug the power

cable, and then please contact the service center.

 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 appropriate operation temperature is 0℃ to +45℃, and the
storage temperature should be -10℃ to +55℃.

 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).

 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

device cover, because the acidic sweat of the fingers may erode the surface coating of the device
cover.

 50 event and card linkages
 IP address conflict detection
 Cross-controller anti-passing back function (For cross-controller anti-passing back based on

card, wire the card reader with RS-485. For cross-controller anti-passing back based on network,
connect the server and device properly. Up to 5000 cards’ swiping records can be stored in the
selected server.) and inner-device anti-pass-back function

 Supports RS485 interface and Wiegand interface for accessing card reader. RS485 interface

adopts dual-interface design and supports loop breakpoint detection and redundancy function;
Wiegand interface supports W26, W34 and is seamlessly compatible with third-party card
reader with Wiegand interface

 Supports various card types as normal/ disabled/ blacklist/ patrol/ guest/ duress/ super card,

etc.

 Various indicators to show different status
 Supports time synchronization via NTP, manual or automatic method

Notes:

 The Alarm input hardware interface is normally open by default. So only the normally open

signal is allowed. It can be linked to the buzzer of the card reader and access controller, and
the alarm relay output and door relay open and close.

 Arming region alarm input linkage is only for the alarm relay output linkage.
 RS485 card ID should be set as 1to 8. For example, the ID of door 1 is 1 and 2 standing for in

and out respectively.

 For single-door access controller, the Wiegand card reader 1 and 2 respectively correspond to

the entering and exiting card readers of door 1. For two-door access controller, the Wiegand
card reader 1 and 2 respectively correspond to the entering and exiting card readers of door 1 ,
and the Wiegand card reader 3 and 4 respectively correspond to the entering and exiting card
readers of door 2. For four-door access controller, the Wiegand card reader 1, 2, 3 and 4
respectively correspond to the entering card readers of door 1, 2, 3, and 4.
