Chapter Ⅳ Common Faults and Troubleshooting Methods
After the Wiegand output is configured, the scan code has no output.
When at Wiegand 34 output, the scanner’s QR code output only supports 6-10 characters output, so if the QR
After adjusting to the secondary development mode, the product cannot connect to
Failed to output when scanning IDs
code information is less than 6 bits, complement 0 to the front bit to get 6 bits to generate output.
In addition, the Wiegand output only supports pure digital output. Please check whether the scanned QR code/ID
card content conforms to the specification.
If you adjust the work mode from normal mode to secondary development mode that the secondary development
output mode does not match the output mode in the normal configuration, the configuration tool cannot be
connected after the configuration is saved. After adjusting the configuration in the configuration tool, configure it
by scanning the configuration QR code.
If you need to scan the ID card, you need to configure the output length to 4 in the NFC configuration column of
the configuration tool. Otherwise, it will not be output correctly.
