before installation, to familiarize yourself with the product.
If you are setting up more than one access controller, a network switch is needed. You must
use one network card (Ethernet port) for the access controller. If you need internet access,
please use another Ethernet port.
The communication between the access controllers and keypads, card readers requires Cat5
cables. This is to minimize errors.
Please install separate power supply for the door locks/electric strikes. Do not use the power
supply from the access controller, some electric strikes consume high current and may pull
down the system voltage when the door is unlocked.
Label all cables clearly will certainly reduce the troubleshooting time. Check wiring before
power up.

3.3.3 Connecting exit buttons and door open/close sensors
All Exit button inputs are ACTIVE LOW, i.e. connect to GND(0V) to unlock the door.
All Door open/close sensors inputs are ACTIVE LOW , i.e. when a door is closed, the voltage
on the corresponding SR input (SR1, SR2… ) should become GND(0V). If the door is opened,
the corresponding SR input should be open circuit (No connection).

readers support both format. Note: Must use 485 bus for Fingerprint readers.
External alarm inputs can be used to connect external devices such as latching switch, smoke
alarm sensors or other security sensors.
The ALRAM inputs are ACTIVE LOW , that means when this pin is connected to GND (0V), it
will trigger the external alarm output relay(s).
Important: When ALARM1 input is pulled LOW, all doors will be unlocked as long as the input
pin voltage remain LOW.
Typical application: A latching switch is connected to ALARM1 input. If the switch is ON, all
doors will be unlocked for emergency evacuation.
Warning: Do not connect ALARM1 if high security level is required.

4.1 Cybersecurity Recommendations
1) Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords:
2) Change Passwords Regularly
3) Disable Auto-Login on Smart PSS:
4) Use a Different Username and Password for Smart PSS:
5) Lock the Access Controller:
surveillance camera, network video recorders, video walls and intercom systems.The
software provides efficient device management and is user friendly.
Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity
The number one reason systems get “hacked” is due to having weak or default passwords.
It is recommended to change default passwords immediately and choose a strong
password whenever possible. A strong password should be made up of at least 8
characters and a combination of special characters, numbers, and upper and lower case
letters.
Regularly change the credentials to your devices to help ensure that only authorized users
are able to access the system.
Those using Smart PSS to view their system and on a computer that is used by multiple
people should disable auto-login. This adds a layer of security to prevent users without the
appropriate credentials from accessing the system.
In the event that your social media, bank, email, etc. account is compromised, you would
not want someone collecting those passwords and trying them out on your video
surveillance system. Using a different username and password for your security system will
make it more difficult for someone to guess their way into your system.
After installation, make sure the door of the access controller is lock to prevent any
unauthorized physical access or modifications to your system. Keep the key in a safe place.
