Overview

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.

Function Description

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:

  • User Management: The device allows for the addition and deletion of various user types:
    • Card-based users: Can open the door by simply swiping their registered card.
    • Password-based users: Can open the door by entering their unique password.
    • Card-and-password users: Require both a card swipe and a password entry for access, offering a higher level of security.
  • Administrator Mode: An administrator password or card grants access to a settings mode where various parameters can be configured. This mode is crucial for system setup and maintenance.
  • Door Opening Control:
    • Door Opening Delay Time: The duration for which the door remains unlocked after successful authentication can be adjusted, ranging from 0 to 60 seconds, with a default of 3 seconds.
    • General Door Opening Password: A universal password can be set by the administrator for general door access, providing an alternative entry method for multiple users without individual registration.
  • Security Features:
    • Door Sensor Integration: The device can connect to a door sensor to monitor the door's status (open or closed). This allows for features like door sensor alarms if the door is left open or forced.
    • Alarm Delay Time: A delay can be set for the door sensor alarm, preventing immediate alarms for legitimate door openings.
    • Alarm for Pressing a Key by Mistake: This feature helps prevent unauthorized access attempts by triggering an alarm if an incorrect administrator password is entered five consecutive times within 10 seconds.
    • Main Alarm Switch: Allows for enabling or disabling the door sensor alarm and the alarm for pressing a key by mistake through shortcut operations using addition and deletion cards.
  • Indicator and Backlight Control: The device includes visual indicators (green for success, blue for failure) and a keypad backlight, both of which can be configured. The backlight can be set to be normally off, normally on, or off when a key is touched.
  • Exit Button Support: An exit button can be connected to the device, allowing occupants to exit the premises without needing to present credentials.
  • Doorbell Functionality: The device supports a doorbell connection, enhancing its utility in an access control setup.

Usage Features

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:

  • Adding Card-based Users: In administrator mode, select the "add card-based user" option and then swipe the desired user cards consecutively. The device will add each card.
  • Adding Password-based Users: In administrator mode, select the "add password-based user" option and enter a 4-6 digit password for each user. Multiple password-based users can be added consecutively.
  • Adding Card-and-password Users: This can be done in two ways: either enter the password first and then swipe the card, or swipe the card first and then enter the password. This method also supports consecutive 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:

  • Administrator Password: The default administrator password (1234) can be modified to a new 1-8 digit password. If forgotten, swiping the administrator card allows for setting a new one.
  • User Passwords: Existing user passwords can be modified in administrator mode.

Shortcut Operations: The SA40 incorporates shortcut operations using special cards (administrator, addition, and deletion cards) to quickly access certain functions without navigating through menus:

  • Administrator Card:
    • Swiped once: Enters administrator mode.
    • Swiped twice: Toggles the door sensor mode between NO and NC.
  • Addition Card: Swiped once: Enters batch adding user cards state. Swiped three times: Enables door sensor alarm and alarm for pressing a key by mistake.
  • Deletion Card: Swiped once: Enters batch deleting user cards state. Swiped three times: Disables door sensor alarm and alarm for pressing a key by mistake.
  • Deletion Card, Addition Card, Deletion Card (in sequence): Restores default parameter settings while retaining user data.

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.

Maintenance Features

The SA40 is designed with ease of maintenance in mind, offering clear indicators and methods for troubleshooting and system resets.

Visual Indicators:

  • Green Indicator: Illuminates upon successful operation, providing immediate feedback that a command or authentication was successful.
  • Blue Indicator: Illuminates upon failed operation, indicating an error or unsuccessful attempt.

Troubleshooting (FAQ): The manual provides a basic FAQ section to address common issues:

  • Failed to open the door by swiping the card: This could be due to an unregistered card, incorrect wiring, or the access control device being in the wrong mode.
  • Failed to read the card: Potential causes include an incorrect card category, a damaged card, or the external card reader being too close to the access control device, causing interference.

Restoring Default Settings: The device offers two methods to restore default settings:

  1. Via Administrator Mode: Entering a specific command (*#administrator password→8#→0#) in administrator mode will reset the device's parameters to their default values.
  2. Via Shortcut Operation: Swiping the deletion card, then the addition card, and then the deletion card in sequence while in standby mode will also initialize the device to default parameter settings.

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.
