The TF1700 is a standalone outdoor fingerprint reader controller designed for robust and reliable access control in various environments. This device integrates advanced biometric technology with comprehensive access control features, making it suitable for both simple and complex security setups.
At its core, the TF1700 serves as an access control reader that utilizes fingerprint recognition for user authentication. It is capable of storing a significant number of fingerprint templates, cards, and transaction logs, allowing for efficient management of personnel access. The device is designed to operate independently, meaning it can perform all necessary access control functions without requiring a constant connection to a computer. This standalone capability is particularly beneficial for installations where continuous computer connectivity might be impractical or undesirable.
Beyond fingerprint recognition, the TF1700 offers a full suite of access control functionalities. It includes relay outputs that can be connected to electric locks and alarms, enabling the control of entry points and the activation of security alerts. Inputs are also provided for essential access control hardware such as door status sensors, which monitor whether a door is open or closed, and request-to-exit buttons, which allow authorized individuals to exit a secured area without requiring biometric authentication. The device supports the programming of multiple timezones and personnel groups, offering granular control over when and where specific individuals or groups are permitted access. This flexibility allows administrators to define complex access policies tailored to their specific security requirements.
The TF1700 is also equipped with communication ports that facilitate its integration into existing network infrastructures. It features both Ethernet and RS232/485 serial ports, allowing for flexible connectivity options. An important aspect of its design is the Weigand-OUT port, which enables the reader to connect to other ZK access control panels or third-party access control systems. This ensures compatibility and allows the TF1700 to function as a biometric reader within a larger, integrated security framework. Furthermore, a Weigand-IN port is available for connecting an external card reader, facilitating dual-factor authentication where users might need to present both a card and a fingerprint for access, thereby enhancing security.
For software developers and partners, the TF1700 offers a free SDK (Software Development Kit) and development tools. This provision allows for the integration of the TF1700's capabilities into custom applications, offering a versatile platform for those who need to incorporate biometric verification into their own software solutions.
The TF1700 is engineered for ease of use and management, even without a dedicated computer. Its complete setup and programming can be performed directly via the device's keypads and embedded firmware. This intuitive interface simplifies initial configuration and ongoing adjustments, making it accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise. The device provides clear audio-visual indications to confirm the acceptance or rejection of valid or invalid fingerprints, cards, and passwords, offering immediate feedback to users.
One of the most significant usage features of the TF1700 is its robust waterproof enclosure, rated IP65. This rating signifies that the device is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to environmental elements is a concern. The cables and connectors at the back of the reader are epoxy sealed, further enhancing its resistance to water and dust and ensuring long-term reliability in harsh conditions.
The device's capacity to store a substantial number of fingerprint templates, cards, and transactions means it can handle a considerable user base and maintain a detailed record of access events. This data can be conveniently backed up to a USB Flash Disk, providing a simple method for data retrieval and archival. Additionally, the ability to transfer data to another reader in the absence of computer connectivity is a practical feature for maintaining system continuity and simplifying the deployment of multiple readers.
The internal Proximity Card reader, available as an option, enhances the device's versatility by allowing for dual-factor authentication. This means users can be required to present both a card and a fingerprint for access, adding an extra layer of security. This feature is particularly useful in environments where heightened security protocols are necessary.
The TF1700 is designed with maintenance in mind, focusing on durability and ease of troubleshooting. The use of a highly accurate ZK fingerprint sensor, combined with the latest fingerprint matching algorithm, ensures reliable performance and a user recognition time of less than 1.5 seconds. This efficiency minimizes delays and contributes to a smooth user experience, reducing the likelihood of issues related to slow or inaccurate authentication.
The robust construction, particularly the IP65-rated waterproof enclosure and epoxy-sealed connectors, significantly reduces the need for frequent maintenance related to environmental damage. This design choice protects internal components from dust and moisture, which are common causes of failure in outdoor electronic devices.
The ability to perform complete setup and programming directly from the device's keypad and embedded firmware simplifies maintenance tasks. Administrators can make adjustments, add or remove users, and review transaction logs without needing specialized software or a computer connection, streamlining operational upkeep. The audio-visual indications for acceptance and rejection of credentials also aid in quick troubleshooting, allowing users and administrators to immediately understand the outcome of an access attempt.
Data backup to a USB Flash Disk is a crucial maintenance feature, ensuring that valuable access logs and user data are not lost in the event of a system issue or power outage. This capability allows for easy restoration of data or transfer to a new device if necessary, minimizing downtime and preserving critical information. The option to transfer data between readers without a computer further simplifies the management of multiple devices, especially during initial setup or when replacing units.
The availability of a free SDK and development tools also contributes to the maintainability and adaptability of the TF1700. For organizations with specific integration needs, these tools allow for custom solutions that can be tailored to their unique operational and maintenance workflows, ensuring the device remains relevant and functional within their evolving security infrastructure.
