Face ID 5 TD/FTD Turnstile Connection with External High-Temperature Alarm



Introduction
Turnstiles are access gates for controlling traffic, allowing one person a time to control traffic flow for in and out. Face ID 5 TD/FTD with a Temperature Sensor can detect and alert a person with a high body temperature. Adding an external alarm to work with the temperature sensor makes it easy to manage the traffic. When a person with a high temperature is detected, the system will notify the security team, reducing the need for constant human supervision. The use of turnstiles is suitable for industrial use such as in big factories, transportations use such as at train stations, and commercial use such as in big mall complexes, and more. 

Figure 1:  Example of An External High Temperature Alarm Installation
Authorized building managers can decide to allow only personnel and visitors with normal body temperature to access the turnstile and disallow those who exceed the temperature limit to pass the turnstiles. Building management needs to enrol each user's face and ID and store the information inside the Face ID 5 TD/FTD to set this permission by using TimeTec AWDMS for local servers. Please find the information on how to do it at the following link:
(https://www.fingertectips.com/2020/12/how-to-add-new-device-smart-ac1-series.html )
Similarly, for visitor access, Face ID 5 TD / FTD can screen body temperature and block visitors with high body temperature from entering the premises. Below is an example of a wiring schematic diagram for the Face ID 5 turnstile with an external temperature alarm.

Each turnstile controller has a different input signal; please check the controller device schematic before installing.

How to Customize Kadex RFID To Kadex Mifare



Introduction
FingerTec Kadex is an access control device that supports RFID, Mifare, or HID cards. Unfortunately, only one card type is applicable at a specific Kadex. Therefore, if you have a Kadex RFID, you can't use the same device to verify MiFare cards. However, Kadex RFID can be switched to accept MiFare cards as a verification option with some device adjustment. A MiFare card is a smart card that can contain data and be read at the device. This tip will show you the step-by-step process to convert Kadex RFID into Kadex MiFare.

Requirements
-          Solder equipment
-          Screwdriver
-          MiFare module
-          MiFare antenna
-          Wire cutter

Steps
-          Unscrew all 4 screws at the back of the device casing.

-          Remove the coreboard and all the cables that are connected to the MCU.

-          Unplug the cable behind the MCU

-          Unscrew all 6 screws that are holding the keypad PC module

-          After you have taken out the keypad PCB module, unscrew the 3 screw and remove the RFID antenna

-          Take the MiFare antenna and cut it following the white line.

-          Take only the cable and solder it at the keypad PCB board

-          Take the cable and put it here but make sure the red cable must be on top.

-          Solder the 2 cable antennas

-          Take the MCU board and desolder RFID module

-          Desolder all these 3 points and change to a MiFare module

-          After soldering the MiFare module, connect all the cables and remember to connect the antenna cable to this connector.

-          Then, update the device with Mifare card function using card management tools. Please contact FingerTec Support team at support@fingertec.com to obtain the Card Management Tool.
