AdapTec Plus Siren or AdapTec X Siren Remote Control Door Switch for Mute and Exit Button



Introduction
AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X has a siren function to pair with a master device to enhance the alarm sound signal from a master device. This siren will go off when a master device sends a signal such as a door open, a device broken, etc (depends on types of master) to AdapTec Plus and Adaptec X.

When using AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X siren function, please mute the siren mute function at AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X to trigger the alarm. This is how it is done using Remote control Door Switch (https://www.fingertec.com/images/w_brochure/A-R-ControlDoorSwitch_e.html), a more convenient way compared to conventional switches.

Process
FingerTec Remote Control Door Switch has two channels to mute the triggered alarm at AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X Siren and Exit Switch. Exit Switch using Remote Control Door Switch is easier for users because they can control door access remotely without needing long wiring for the exit button. Hence, receptionists can open the door for authorized people remotely.


Connection above is for internal siren for AdapTec Plus or Adaptec X only. For more sound coverage, an additional external siren 12VDC can be added.

External Buzzer or Siren Connections for Door Open Notification



Introduction
For the safety or requirement of an industry, door always needs to be closed or else, it will risk intrusion, damage or loss of a product or an environment. For example, the storehouse storing valuable things, a server room where the temperature needs to be maintained, the dust-free rooms and etc. Hence, the clarity of knowing that the room is always need to be closed neatly is mandatory. By adding a buzzer or an alarm on the door, this purpose can be achieved.
 
Process
1- The buzzer or siren can be installed next to the person who is in charge for the room or space where maybe the person desk or office far from that.
2- A loud buzzer or siren can be used for large or noisy environment

Blast the External Siren Loudly with Face ID 4d


Introduction

FingerTec’s Face ID 4d Terminal can be customized to support External Schedule which is useful in alerting employees to change shift or clocking status. However, take note that upon enabling this option, the Door Access feature of this device will be disabled.

Benefits

By using the external bell function, you can increase the volume of the alert bell so it can be heard from a distance. This is suitable for industrial working environment, such as factories.

Process

1.      Update the firmware of the device. You can download the customized firmware from here.
     
       **Note: By updating this firmware, Door Access feature of this device will be disabled           

       
-       Run the FTFaceID4.exe > Insert Device’s IP Address > Connect > Update > Restart


2.      Set the Schedule Bell on Face ID 4D, select External.

Go to Menu Date/Time > Bell > Select Schedule Bell > Insert your bell trigger date and time followed by the trigger period.
3.      Connect the device to the external siren as shown in the wiring diagram below:
And you are ready to test it! Make sure you are not too close to the siren to avoid damage to your ears. 

Connecting the TA100C (FMM) to AdapTec TA and 12Vdc or 240Vac External Sirens

Introduction

The TA100C (FMM) is a biometric terminal for time attendance that includes an internal siren and allows the connection of external sirens for an effective alarm system. This system can also be scheduled to signal events within the working schedule such as starting work time or end of break. The two types of sirens that can be connected to the TA100C (FMM) are:

  • 12Vdc for small industries or office use
  • 240Vac for big factories with a noisy environment
To compensate for the additional power required for the external sirens, the Adaptec TA can be used as a power supply and backup in case of power failures, ensuring that your alarm system is always running.

Benefits
Connecting your terminals to the Adaptec TA ensures a stable and reliable power source for your system to operate at optimum capacity. By connecting the terminal and external siren to the Adaptec TA, the internal relay of the terminal will be protected from the high voltage. If the voltage is too high, the fuse in Adaptec will break the circuit, thus protecting the internal components of the terminal.

Adaptec TA has 2 power sources, 5VDC and 12VDC and you can connect any of FingerTec terminals to Adaptec TA by selecting the correct voltage. It also comes with a backup power in case of power failure.
 
Process
To connect the external siren to the terminal, follow the steps below.
1.    Open the back casing of the TA100C (FMM) terminal.

2.   Plug in the connector of the external siren into the MCU Board.
 
3.   Follow the wiring diagram to connect the terminal to Adaptec TA.
  
 
4.   Change the External Bell Relay settings in the terminal device itself.
      Go to Menu > Personalize > Bell Schedule > Options > External Bell Relay > NC2 

5.   To add a new bell schedule, go to Menu > Personalize > Bell Schedules > New Bell Schedule > Set
       the option accordingly:
·         Bell Status: To turn the bell on or off.
·         Bell Time: Set the time for the bell to ring automatically.
·         Repeat: Set the bell to repeat on certain days or every day.
·         Bell Type: You can set for the bell to be triggered from the internal bell or from an    
 external bell that is wired to the device.
·         Ring Tone: Select your preferred ringtone that will emit from the bell.
·         Internal Bell Relay: Specifies the time duration for the alarm to ring (ranges from 1s to999s).
·         External Bell Relay: Specifies the time duration for the alarm to ring (ranges from 1s to999s).

ACTIVATING THE DOOR CLOSURE DELAY SIREN IN INGRESSUS

Because A Mere Second Could Pose Danger to Your Property

Security is an important aspect in every organization nowadays. Improper security measures may cause bigger problems such as robbery, data theft or even endanger the safety of a person. Even with the proper access control products installed, the security of a building may be compromised if the door is not closed properly after a person has entered the premises. Hence, it is an advantage when the access control device triggers the siren when the door is not shut properly.

As we all know, Fingertec’s standalone access-control devices are equipped with the function to trigger the internal or external alarm siren when the door is not closed within the pre-defined time.  However, not many know that the same can be done for Ingressus, via the Ingress software. Simply follow the steps below to activate the external siren for during the exit delay period. 

Alarm System Requirements

The requirement for this setup is a door, which has been installed with Ingressus that is paired with any of Fingertec’s slave devices and a door sensor.

Connect and Power Up The External Siren

First of all, you must connect an external siren to the Auxiliary output port at Ingressus.

Please note that Ingressus does not supply the power to the siren, hence an external power source will be needed to power-up the siren. The siren must be connected to NO and COM port of AUX output at Ingressus. Refer to below image for clarification.



Configuring the Door Sensor Type and Delay Time

Next, you will have to configure the door sensor type and delay time, so that the siren will be triggered when the door is not closed within the defined time. Simply follow these steps below in Ingress software

Doors > Select door name > Click “Edit” > Set “Lock Open Duration” to desired time > Set “Door Sensor Type” to “Normal Close” > Set “Door Sensor Delay” to desired time > Save > Sync to device



Setting Up The Fire Alarm Zone

After setting up the door, you will need to configure the Fire Alarm zone to trigger the Auxillary Output when Ingressus detects that the door has been left open exceeding the “Door Sensor Delay” time. Follow these steps below to configure the Fire Alarm Zone:

Zone (Ingressus) > Fire Alarm > Right Click > Add Zone > Rename to desired name > Right Click > Select device (Ingressus) > Click at device name > Click “Edit” > Tick at “Fire Alarm” > Set “Trigger Condition” to “Opening Timeout” > Set “Input Point Address” > Tick the desired output at “Output Point Address” > Set “Action Type” to “Open” > Set the “Delay” to desired value (The amount of time the siren triggers) > Tick “Stop alarm once door is closed” > Save > Sync to Device
