2.2. FingerKey Hardware Installation:
2.2.1. Power Supply Connection
FingerKey supports 9-15V DC power supply as input, and can work immediately through the
direct connection between GND and +12V . If lock-control uses the individual power supply,
the current of FingerKey power supply adapter applies matching current of 500mA or over; if
lock-control uses the same power supply with FingerKey, the nominal output current of the
power adapter will exceed the working current by over 1000mA

2.2.2. Door Lock Connection
FingerKey can support normal-open and normal-closed door lock simultaneously, as long as it
is connected with the different terminals respectively. Usually, Lock No terminal disconnects
with COM terminal, and they connect when FingerKey outputs the unlocking signal and
recover to disconnection when the signal ends. The connection and disconnection between
Lock NC terminal and COM terminal is opposite to above situation, they connect usually and
disconnect when the unlocking signal is output.
Due to the existence of varied electric-control door locks, the correct connection method must
be confirmed in accordance with the door lock specification: Lock NO terminal should be
used for the locks, which unlock when the power is on and lock when power is off; otherwise,
the Lock NC terminal should be used.
Take the electric-control lock, which locks usually when power is off, for example herein, to
show the connection method between FingerKey and locks. Use Lock NC terminal when
FingerKey is connected with the lock, which locks usually when power is on.

1). Connecting method for power supply adapter serving for both FingerKey
and door lock contemporarily.
1. Matching voltage of lock must be 9 to 5V
2. Matching voltage of adapter must be accordant with that of lock.
3. Matching output current of adapter must exceed the working current by over
1000mA.

2.2.3. Connect with Out-door Switch, Door Magnetism, Doorbell and Warner
Door switch is installed in the room, and you can open the door when the out-door
switch is closed. The door magnetism is used to induce the opening and closing state
of the door, and FingerKey can detect the state when the door is opened illegally and
hence output the alarming signal. Furthermore, FingerKey will also output the alert
signal if the door is not closed well within the specified time.
Alarming output of FingerKey is a switch signal, and can be connected in series into
the power loop of Warner. Of course it can be used as the trigger signal of advanced
alarming/monitoring system.
Doorbell terminal of FingerKey is connected directly with the doorbell button of
panel, so what you need to do is to connect the existing doorbell switch to these two
terminals.
