This document outlines the operation and maintenance of the SA40 access control device, a product of ZKTeco. The SA40 is designed to provide secure access control through various authentication methods and offers a range of configurable settings to suit different security needs.
The SA40 is an all-in-one access control device that supports multiple user authentication methods, including card-based, password-based, and card-and-password combinations. It is designed to manage door access, allowing authorized users to enter while restricting unauthorized individuals. The device integrates with electric locks, door sensors, and exit buttons to create a comprehensive access control system.
The core function of the SA40 is to verify user credentials against its stored database. Upon successful verification, it triggers the electric lock to open for a configurable duration. The device can be configured to operate with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) locks, providing flexibility in installation.
Key functions include:
The SA40 is designed for straightforward operation, with both direct keypad input and card-based shortcuts for common tasks.
Initial Setup: Before any operations, the device must be initialized by restoring factory settings. This involves creating a short circuit between specific pins on the device board while powering it on. This step is essential to ensure the device is in a clean state for configuration.
Administrator Access: To enter the administrator settings mode, users can either enter the administrator password (default: 1234) or swipe a registered administrator card. This mode is the gateway for all configuration changes.
User Enrollment:
User Deletion: Users can be deleted individually by entering their password or swiping their card in administrator mode. Multiple users can be deleted consecutively. The device also supports deleting all users, which clears all card-based, password-based, and card-and-password users, but retains administrator, addition, and deletion cards.
Password Management:
Shortcut Operations: The SA40 incorporates shortcut operations using special cards (administrator, addition, and deletion cards) to quickly access certain functions without navigating through menus:
Door Sensor Configuration: The door sensor mode (NO or NC) can be set in administrator mode. The alarm delay time for the door sensor can also be adjusted.
The SA40 is designed with ease of maintenance in mind, offering clear indicators and methods for troubleshooting and system resets.
Visual Indicators:
Troubleshooting (FAQ): The manual provides a basic FAQ section to address common issues:
Restoring Default Settings: The device offers two methods to restore default settings:
*#administrator password→8#→0#) in administrator mode will reset the device's parameters to their default values.It is important to note that when default settings are restored, all user information (card-based, password-based, and card-and-password users) is retained, but all other settings are cleared. This allows for a system reset without the need to re-enroll all users.
Power Supply Considerations: The device operates on a DC 12V power supply. It is crucial to ensure correct polarity (+12V and GND) when connecting the power supply to avoid damage. The manual also highlights the importance of connecting an FR107 diode in parallel to the electric lock to mitigate self-induced electromotive force, which can impact the access control system. This diode is provided with the device, and its correct orientation (positive and negative poles) is critical.
Wiring Recommendations: For extension cables between the all-in-one device and a controller, using a Category 6 or above unshielded network cable is recommended to prevent voltage drop and ensure stable card reading performance.
Overall, the SA40 is a robust access control solution that combines various authentication methods with user-friendly configuration and maintenance options, making it suitable for a range of security applications.
