Important Notes:
C3-200 is set to supply lock power by default from
external power supply , If you want to use built-in
power supply , you must do the following:
1. Select the wanted lock relay and find its
jumpers
2. Take off the jumpers and change to
3. Connect the lock as shown in the diagram below

Important Notes:
1. Both 10Base-T and 100Base-T
are supported
2. This cable distance must be less
than 100 meters or 330 ft.
3. For cables length of more than
100m. use HUB to amplify the
signal
TCP/IP
CR10 Card Issuer
The CR10 is connected to the server using USB
connection.
To connect C3-200 with a PC directly, connect both devices with a straight network cable. As the C3-200 supports auto MDI/MDIX , it
is not necessary to use a crossover type cable.

RS485 Connection
Important Notes

RS485-
RS485+
GND
1. RS485 communication wires should be shielded or twisted pair calble.
RS485 communication wires should be connected in a bus cascade instead
of in a star form, to achieve a better shielding effect by reducing signal
reflection during communications.
2. A single 485 bus can be connected with 63 access control panels at the
most, but preferably less than 32 panels should be connected.
3. To eliminate signal attenuation in communication cables and suppress
interference, if the bus is longer than 200 meters, set the number 8 DIP
switch to the ON position. This is equivalent to a parallel connection of one
120ohm resistance between the 485+ and 485- lines.
Distance

Introduction
RS485 Address
1. Number 1-6 are reserved to set the device number for RS485
communication. The code is binary, and the numbering starts from left to
right. When the switch is set to ON position, it indicates 1 (on); when the
switch is set downwards, it indicates 0 (off). For example, to set a device
number 39=1+2+4+32, which corresponds to the binary code 111001, put
number 1, 2, 3, and 6 to ON position, as illustrated below.
2. For more details, please check the table at the end of this document
Restore factory setting
1. If you forget the C3 IP address or the device does not work
normally, you can use the number 7 terminal to restore C3-200 to
factory default settings. The parameters which gets reset are
device IP address, communication password ,gateway ,subnet mask.
2. The switch is OFF by default. When it is moved upwards and
downwards for three times within 10 seconds and finally returned
to OFF position, the factory settings will be restored after the
access control panel is restarted.

2 times
3 times
OFF
Terminal Resistance
1. Number 8 is for setting the RS485 termination resistance. Putting the
switch to ON position is equivalent to parallel connection of a 120ohm
termination resistance between 485+ and 485-

1. How to switch four door one way to two door to way.
Connect four readers from reader 1 to reader 4.
Connect two door locks , one connect LOCK1 ,another connect LOCK3.
Switch on software then reader 1-Indoor, reader 2-Outdoor.
2. How many WEIGAND formats are supported ?
The panel is set to read 26 bit by default.
However there are 9 other bit formats which can be selected from the software. In addition you
can also define your custom bit format.
3. How many verification mode can be support.
Card only
Password only
Card plus password
4. Can we integrate IP Camera and NVR
Currently ZKACCESS software supports ZKAccess’ IP Cameras and NVR
You can associate a camera to the door and setup a linkage for the same.
5. Can C3 panel support FR1200 fingerprint reader ?
No , Only Inbio series can support FR1200 fingerprint reader
