3 Internal components

3.1 Battery back-up modules

The terminal has two back-up battery modules, one for the real time clock memory and the other for operation during a power failure.

The standard memory back-up module is a lithium battery, which will keep the internal clock running and the memory intact, for 30 days during a power failure.

Warning!

There is a risk of explosion if the lithium battery is r eplaced by an incompatible battery. You must dispose of used batteries as per manufacturer’s instructions.

The back-up battery provided (in addition to the standard memory back-up) is a self-recharging system which allows the terminal to be operated during a power failure. The battery provides power for one and a half net hours of use. A shutdown timeout feature enables the terminal to operate for more extended periods of time.

There are two types of timeout shutdowns:

• The firmware default timeout of 15 seconds. This option is used if the terminal has not been otherwise programmed (to a different timeout), if the application specifying otherwise has not been loaded or if there is an error in the application.

• The user defined timeout shutdown defined by programming the terminal using the SY protocol. Once this option is uploaded to the terminal it is used at starting the terminal at Power On.

The default firmware battery shutdown timeout is 15 seconds. This timeout is used unless a different timeout has been programed to the terminal using the Synel Protocol and uploaded to the terminal.

During a power failure, the user presses the battery key to activate the terminal. Data can then be entered and stored in the terminal memory. The timeout will cause the terminal to shut down automatically after the last use of the terminal, until the battery key is pressed again.

3.2 Memory

As a standard feature, the terminal contains a 512 Kb user memory providing storage for data from more than 50,000 simple operations. This number depends on the length of the programming tables contained in the memory, and the complexity of the collected data.

3.3 RS-232/485 internal Card

This card provides an RS-232/485 serial interface.

When selecting a place to install a terminal with wireless network communication (Bluetooth and Wi-FI) you need to consider environmental factors that effect the connection. The optimal location is where:

When selecting a place to install a terminal with wireless network communication (Bluetooth and WiFI) you need to consider environmental factors that effect the connection. The optimal location is where:

• The connection to the terminal is not blocked by walls or metal obstacles. This can be done by standing at the location where the terminal is to be installed and viewing the area where the terminal is to have a connection with and make sure that it is clear.

• The antennas should are positioned so that they are parallel to one another. If there are obstacles between the terminals. the antennas should be positioned for the best clear connection between them. For example, at floor level below the obstacle or at ceiling level abo ve the obstacle, especially with metal obstacles.

• For Bluetooth, use the terminal Quality option to check the connection quality. See “Setting up the Terminal (Technician Mode)” on page 22.

• Do not install the terminal in a location where people gather and linger since they, too, block the connection and also as to not expose them to radiation.

2 Mounting the terminal on a wall

Make sure the unit is not plugged into a power source. If you have already connected your terminal to a PC, disconnect it. You can reconnect it after you have completed mounting the unit.

The terminal contains computer components. It should not be mounted where it will be exposed to extreme h eat or cold, water, steam, violent vibrations, high electromagnetic radiation including high voltage power lines and electrical equipment.

Step 1:Select a location for the terminal. The following guidelines will help you find the best place for the terminal:

•The terminal should be placed by an easily accessible power outlet.

•Make sure that there is enough space around the terminal for the communication cabling.

•Do not place the communication cable near a source of electromagnetic radiation or r adio interference such as power lines, large machinery, etc.

•If the communication cable is to be wired through the wall, make sure that it is safe to drill a hole at the desired location.

•For best usability the terminal should be mounted at employee eye-he ight. The recommended height is 140cm (4’7”).

Step 2:Remove the back mounting panel by sliding it to the side and pulling it out.

A - Screw holes - for screwing the mounting panel in place. B - Entrance for cables wired from the wall. C -Clasps for holding cables in place. D -For cable entering terminal from below. E - security fastener. F - Electric socket.

Step 3:Prepare the wall for mounting by placing the panel on the wall as a template and mark the place for drilling the

holes (A). Step 4:Drill holes using a 6 mm. (1/4”) drill bit.

Live wires in the vicinity may contain 115V or 220V.

Make sure not to drill into any live electric wires. Overlooking this warning may result in harmful contact with an electrical current.

Step 5:The cables can be wired through the wall and positioned in the clasps (C) to the bottom of the terminal where that are connected, or be wired directly from the bottom of the terminal (D).

Step 6:Position the panel so that all of the wires are in place and screw the panel to the wall. Step 7:Wire all of the cables through the mounting panel and position the electric socket in it’s place in the mounting

panel (F). Step 8:Connect the communication cables to the terminal.

Plug one end of the communication cable into the communication socket of the terminal. If an internal modem has been added and the modem is used, plug the RJ-45 connector of a standard telephone cable into the telephone line. Do not use the communication cable.

Step 9:Slide the terminal into place. Step 10:Screw the security fastener into place (E).

3 Communication connections

Step 1:Select a location for the connection box.

The box must be positioned where both the communication line and the terminal can be connected to it. The terminal should be placed near the connection box, and must be within the reach of the short RJ45 cable.

Step 2:Plug the communication cable from the terminal into the connection box. Step 3:Wire an additional connection for Ethernet.

One time – Enrolls a scanned fingerprint to a fingerprint template. Two times – Scans the fingerprint twice. The two images are compared to each other and verified. If the fingerprint images do not match

the user is rejected. If they match the better quality fingerprint is enrolled in the template. Two templates – Scans the user finger twice and saves the each fingerprint scan as a template. The user has two templates stored. Then, each time the user is verified, the module can decide whether to replace the existing template with a new one. This update reflects the dynamic changes in the skin of the user's finger.

After setting the previous parameters you get the following options: Save Param - Saves your specified setting. Exit - Exits Technician mode. Set - Returns to the beginning of the Technician mode parameters enabling you to change or reset parameters. Additional - Displays additional parameters according to the parameters selected before, such as Network parameters if TCP or UDP, or Network mode

of Server or Client.

On exiting Technician mode, all of the settings are saved into the terminals Flash protected memory. In case of memory crash the terminal reloads the settings from the flash memory (does not revert to the factory default), which enables quick communication after formatting the memory.

Once the technician mode settings are entered into the system and the user exits the Technician menu, the settings are automatically saved to the terminals Flash memory. If a “Mem Crash” occurs, the terminal loads the parameters saved in the Flash memory.

Host Computer Interfacing

There are a number of different standard communication channels. The data collection terminal can be connected to the host computer using either an RS-232 or an RS-485 connection with an asynchronous serial port. RS-232 is used for a single device with a point to point connection, for distances up to 50 meters (160 ft). RS-232 is the communication standard used by nearly all PCs and modems. The cabling distance is limited to 50 meters (160 ft) and only one terminal may be connected to the same COM port. The RS-485 standard extends the potential cabling distance to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). Using 9600 baud enables multi-COM port connections. It uses only two communication wires. The SY-65 communication adapter converts RS-232 to RS-485.

Most computers use DTE type connectors on their RS-232 ports. The terminal is equipped with an RJ45 (telephone jack) connector. Therefore, you will need a connection box intermediating the terminal and the host.

DIRECT (RS-232)/MULTI-DROP (RS-485) CONNECTION

1 Installing communication cables

Follow these guidelines when installing the communications cables:

1. The cable should not be installed near an EMI sources, such as:

• Motors, generators, alternators, and transformers

• Air conditioners, elevators

• Radio/television transmitters, signal generators and internal communication networks

2. Cables should not be within 30 cm. (1 foot) range from less than 5 KVA power lines.

3. Cables should not be within 60 cm. (2 feet) range from 5-10 KVA power lines.

4. Cables should not be within 1.5 meters (5 feet) range of power lines of exceeding 10 KVA.

5. Cables should not run parallel to power lines for more than 15 meters (49 feet).

6. It is best to use a single continuous cable for the communication line. If this is not possible, the cable should have only one connection, indoors, as follows:

• Using two connectors with appropriate shielding and cover.

• Using a connection box.

7. For aerial installation, use N.Y.Y shielded cables.

2 Connecting your PC to the SY-65

The SY-65 must be set to one of the RS-485 modes, i.e. 4,5,6 and 7. For more information, refer to the manual for the SY-65 communication adapter. The diagrams below describe the pin outs for the cable used to connect your PC to the SY-65 communication adapter. If your PC contains a 9-pin connector refer to the first diagram, if it contains a 25-pin connector, refer to the second diagram.

3 Connecting the SY-65 to a connection box

A 24 gauge, shielded two wire twisted pair cable should be used to connect the SY-65 to a connection box.

• Open the connection box.

• Connect the -TRX wire to the connection marked OR.

• Connect the +TRX wire to the connection marked BK.

• Connect the shield wire to the connection marked RD.

• Close the connection box.

3.1 If communication problems occur

1. Lower the baud rate.

2. Use cables with a heavier gauge conducting wire.

3. Connect 100 ohm resistors between the MRxD and PRxD, and also between MTxD and PTxD that are at the ends of the wire of the following two connectors:

a. The connector on the computer. b. The connector on the last terminal of the multi-drop line.

4. EMI protection is integrated into the terminal, but it is best to use an external protector for lightning problems.

4 Making a multi-drop connection

All terminals and their connection boxes are connected in exactly the same way, regardless of their terminal IDs. The multi-drop line may be created in one of two ways: creating a chain of connection boxes, using a junction box.

Method 1 Method 2

The SY-65 is connected to a connection box which in turn connects to another connection box, thereby forming a chain.

The SY-65 is connected to a junction box. A separate cable is connected from each connection box to the junction box.

4.1 Cable from the terminal to the connection box

This is a standard 6 wire telephone cable with an RJ45 connector cable which is supplied with the terminal. The pin locations are illustrated below to allow you to prepare such a cable. The length of the cable should not exceed 30 meters (98feet).

Maintenance

This section gives instructions for maintaining good working order for the terminal. The issues described are:

• Physical Maintenance

• Calibrating the Real Time Clock (RTC)

• How to cause the memory to crash

• Formatting the memory if a crash occurs

• Fingerprint sensor cleaning and care

1 Physical Maintenance

1.1 General

Once every six months:

• Check and tighten the screws in the terminal such as the screws holding the

power cable to the CPU card.

• Verify that all components connected to the sockets are well adjusted.

1.2 Badge Readers

Once a month:

• Magnetic badge readers: Once a month - use a special cleaning badge made of plastic with a polishing paper (made of Al2O3, with a grain size of approximately 16 microns) attached to the part of the badge where it contacts the magnetic head. Swipe the badge once or twice. Excessive polishing will result in wearing out of the magnetic reader head.

• Clean the reader with a cleaning solution (such as pure alcohol).

• Barcode badge readers: Once a month - use an air gun to remove dirt/dust or a special optical cleaner (e.i.: one used for eye glasses).

• Use a blower to clean dust off of the head of the reader.

Alcohol based cleaning solutions must never be used to clean barcode readers

1.3 Fingerprint sensor cleaning and care

A sensor is designed to provide years of trouble- free service. Although maintenance and handling requirements are few in number, observance of a few basic maintenance procedures help ensure a high level of performance over time.

Several types of sensors exist, and each type of sensor requires a different cleaning method. Make sure to use the proper cleaning method for the sensor type you use.

1.3.1 Cleaning for Fingerprint Sensors

Oily deposits from your finger accumulate on the surface of the fingerprint sensor after repeated use. These can inhibit the functionality of the sensor.

Scheduled cleaning: It is recommended to clean the sensor at least once a week, and also whenever an oily residue is

visible on its surface.

For Capacitive Sensors

Use Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper to remove oily deposits.

Do not use a soiled cloth or tissue paper. A clean cotton cloth or tissue paper will absorb the deposits, but a soiled cloth will smear the deposits over the sensor’s surface.

Alcohol is the preferred cleaning material because it dissolves oily residue and evaporates quickly. The use of nylon brushes or scouring pads, abrasive cleaning fluids or powders, or steel wool is not

recommended.

For Optic Sensors

Use a clean cotton cloth or tissue paper dampened by water or window cleaning solution to remove oily deposits.

1.3.2 Caring for the Fingerprint Sensor.

• Do not place the fingerprint sensor close to a heat source, such as a radiator or hot plate.

• Do not subject the fingerprint sensor to heavy shocks/vibrations.

• Do not allow the sensor to come in contact with metallic objects.

Conditions.

The sensor can be stored in temperatures ranging from –65 temperatures ranging from 0

Sensors should not be exposed to rain or excessive humidity. A sensor can operate within a range of 5% to 95% humidity (non-condensed).

Other than for cleaning, as instructed above in Cleaning for Fingerprint Sensors, do not bring the sensor in contact with and liquids.

Authentec Sensors

Authentec sensors can be damaged by a discharge of static electricity from a human body. However, the fingerprint sensor is typically encircled by conductive plastic, which is connected, to a ground plane. You should always touch the conductive plastic before touching the sensor in order to safely discharge any static electricity that may be present on your skin or clothing.

7. Reposition JP13 to 2-3 (calibration).

8. Connect the input of the Time Counter unit to the pin in JP13 marked jumper 2.

9. Plug the Time Counter unit into a power source.

10. Set the Time Counter unit to test the period.

11. Press once on Enter; the message "Adjust RTC N/Y" appears.

12. Press once on Enter, for N (no). Use line up/down to scroll when selecting the Y (yes) option.

13. Calibrate the RTC of the terminal to 3.90625 milliseconds +

0.00003 by turning the screw on the

variable capacitor at C18.

14. Disconnect Jumper 2 pin at JP13.

15. Replace the JP13 jumper to 1-2 position.

16. Disconnect the connector from TP2 of the terminal’s CPU board.

17. Return the JP12 jumper to re-enable the Watchdog utility.

18. Unplug the terminal.

19. Replace the front panel.

20. Unplug the Time Counter.

3 How to cause the memory to crash

6Using POE

When using POE on the terminal you will need to make the following changes:

CPU Board REV-D:

JP104 should be shorted / P101 should have 7 PINs.

Network cars type B:

V2 should be compatible with POE. C6/R7/8/9/10 should be removed P2 Should be 7 PIN JP13 should be on (1-2)

Net Card Type F:

R1/R2 should be removed / P11 should be mounted / P2 should have 7 PINs / JP13 should be on (1-2). For more details please refer to the BOM & scheme file of these two boards.

When using POE use the additional POE-DC2DC board using the Ag90120-S DC2DC module. The maximum output power is 9Watt, this means that the over-all power consumption of the POEterminal with this module is less than 9Watt. Other modules can be used if you need more power.

Appendix F Programming via SYncomm

Introduction

The SY-780A terminals can be programmed by a SAL program to meet any requirements in the field of access control. However programming via Syncomm is much easier, but has some limitations. The SYComm program is written to accept parameters that are grouped into designated tables.

SAL programming provides high flexibility: the terminal database structure can be modified and programming is performed according to tailor-made specifications. This elite assembler program know-how requires invested training hours as it is an intricate program to master. This document will not specify SAL programming method for detailed information, refer to SAL programming user manual.

Syncomm programming is a user-friendly tool for building routine access control applications. Synel provides a set of parameters that are logically arranged, stored and were built-in to the program to facilitate Syncomm programming. The global parameters service the entire program and the rest of the parameters are designated to build a corresponding application. These parameters are called by using a special SAL program defined by Synel and are incorporated in Syncomm. The parameters are basically divided into three levels:

• System tables: Firmware oriented parameters.

• Programming tables: Enable planning the activities performed by the terminal as per user functioning requirements.

• Data tables: Contain the authorization for employees, time zones etc.

Table quantity limitation is 31 as each table is a file within the terminal.

several predefined default printer definitions. If none match your specific printer brand, you should define printer parameters.

Test

This is a mini set-up table for activities and terms to be performed on the transactions. It is possible to perform one activity or a sequence of several activities. Some of the relatively simple activities are: saving transactions, employee access/other validation, displaying specific timed messages. Some of the more complex activities are: calculation activities (sum, subtract, multiply, compare etc.), variable to variable, inter-buffer activities.

The Test table is divided into 2 parts:

1. The header is the test name, it is recommended that the given name will portray the purpose of the test, see above screen. A new header can be created by either clicking the New button or the key.

2. The base part is where actual definitions are set, when double clicking a row the following screen appear

Step 1:Fill-in a test name and number. Step 2:The templates are comprised of different activities:

Most templates are divided into 3 parts:

Operation- A check to be performed, different from template to template. OK- Further to the operation how to confirm or what other activities will follow. Similar for most tem-

plates. Fail- Further to the operation how to indicate that the operation has failed. Similar for most tem-

plates. The OK/Fail sections screens are displayed below:

Display message Enables choosing a constant message from the

system messages list. Display end Enables displaying variables of input data. Relay Enables activating a relay. Buzzer alert Enables activating an alert buzzer. Buzzer OK Enables activating an OK buzzer. Buzzer error Enables activating an error buzzer. Wait Waiting time between transactions. Write last transaction Transmits data that was stored in a designated

directory, to be displayed a later stage. Store transaction Determine what data will be stored.

Write transaction Transmits data that was stored to the terminal’s

memory. Cannot be displayed. Go to module Enables a cyclic flow to the same transaction. End The terminal reverts to the defined default

function.

Buffers: What data will be displayed on the terminal’s prompt:

N - None No check will be performed. I - Input data The last value that was received by the terminal. L - Input length The Number of designated spaces for counting

total value length. P - Input source

From which source the last input has arrived,

upto four spaces:

1st=type, 2nd+3rd=reader number, 4th=status. F - File buffer The results of a table search (either employee or

valid)= the last record (approx. 30 spaces). S - File status The status after performing the last command. R - Transaction Before storing the transaction it can be

compared. C - Constant Free text to be filled in Constant field below.

Below find an outline of defining Operation for templates:

Length check

Defines the input length limitation (KB, card number, identification ID etc.) and the offset of that input

Check value

number. Enables comparing field variables.

Operate Enables performing various calculations between

buffers. i.e.: This feature is useful when printing, for placing variables in the printer buffer: AD= summary , SU= subtract, MV= Mo ve, AN=Pairing bytes logically, OR= alternating 2 bytes logically, XR=Exclusive XOR operator, NU=numeric check

Source check

Enables checking: Primary source is the input source: what reader is operated. According to this the software will apply accordingly. The reader number is a secondary source. Reader Status code is unique for each output type as follows: Readers Keypad

- E= read error, D=data read OK

- N=numeric or Enter key (If only Enter then IL=0) Sensors Printer

- A= Active, P= Passive Note: IL=0

- A= Active, P= Passive

File check Enables validating an authorized list with one of the

tables on the Locate section. Under File choose the specific file.

Query A query is sent to the software that is performing an

online scan - using SYServer.

Write last transaction

Enables saving the last transaction setup in a temporary file for later display as t he employee’ s last transaction.
