The X6 is a sophisticated access control device designed for secure entry management, primarily utilizing fingerprint, card, and password authentication methods. Its robust design and comprehensive feature set make it suitable for various environments requiring controlled access.
The core function of the X6 is to regulate access to a secured area by verifying user credentials. It supports multiple authentication modes, allowing for flexible security configurations. Users can gain entry using their registered fingerprint, a proximity card, or a numerical password. The device can store up to 500 fingerprints, accommodating a significant number of users.
The X6 operates with a default program password of "1234" for administrative access. This password is crucial for configuring the device, adding or removing users, and adjusting various security settings. The device includes an administrator role, which is typically assigned to a fingerprint, providing a secure method for managing the system. In the event of a lost administrator password, a tamper switch mechanism allows for resetting the password to its default, ensuring that the system remains manageable even in unforeseen circumstances.
For user management, the X6 offers detailed control over adding and editing user credentials. Each user can register up to 10 fingerprints and one card, providing redundancy and convenience. The process for adding fingerprints involves registering them three times to ensure accuracy and reliability. Similarly, cards are registered twice. The device also supports up to eight groups of door passwords, allowing for different access codes for various user groups or specific entry points. These passwords are 4-digits long and can be modified or shut down by changing them to "00000".
The X6 incorporates an alarm system to enhance security. This includes a master alarm switch that, when active, enables tamper alarms and magnet alarms. The tamper alarm is triggered if the device is tampered with, providing an immediate alert to potential security breaches. The door unlock duration can be configured, allowing administrators to set how long the door remains unlocked after successful authentication, ranging from 1 to 10 seconds.
The device supports various authentication modes to cater to different security needs:
Operating the X6 is designed to be intuitive, with clear button prompts and visual/audible feedback. The keypad, featuring numbers 0-9, an asterisk (*), and a hash (#) key, is central to user interaction and configuration. The asterisk key typically functions as an "Escape" or "Cancel" command, while the hash key signifies "Yes" or "Confirm."
When creating an administrator, the process involves entering the default program password, followed by registering the administrator's fingerprint three times. The device provides visual cues (green light for success) and audible feedback (long buzz for success) to guide the user through the process. Changing the administrator follows a similar pattern, requiring the existing administrator's fingerprint before registering a new one.
Adding new users, whether by fingerprint or card, involves entering the administrator mode, specifying a user ID, and then performing the registration steps. For fingerprints, three registrations are required, while cards need two. The system allows for continuous addition of new users by pressing the hash key or exiting by pressing the asterisk key. For password users, an ID (1-8) is assigned, and a 4-digit password is set and repeated for confirmation.
Opening the door is straightforward: users simply enter their password and press the hash key for verification. The device's lights provide immediate feedback: a green light indicates success, while a red light signifies failure. Audible tones further enhance usability, with a long buzz for success, two short buzzes for failure, and four short buzzes for an incorrect action.
The X6's wiring diagram illustrates its connectivity options, including power input (DC12V), ground (GND), button input (BUT), sensor input (SEN), and connections for a lock (NO1, COM1, NC1) and an alarm (AL-, AL+), as well as a bell (BELL-, BELL+). This comprehensive wiring allows for integration with various door control systems and external devices.
The X6 is designed with maintenance in mind, offering features for easy user management and system resets. Deleting users can be done individually or in bulk. To delete a single user, the administrator enters a specific menu, provides the user's work number, fingerprint, or card, and confirms the deletion. For a complete system overhaul, all users can be deleted simultaneously through a dedicated administrative function.
The device's physical installation is also user-friendly. It involves removing a screw from the bottom, detaching the back cover, fixing the back cover to the wall (drilling holes as needed), and then securing the device onto the back cover with screws. This modular design simplifies both initial setup and any subsequent maintenance or repairs.
The tamper alarm button, located within the device, is a critical security feature. When the tamper alarm function is enabled, any attempt to physically tamper with the device will trigger an alarm, alerting administrators to potential security breaches. This feature is configurable, allowing administrators to enable or disable it as needed.
In summary, the X6 is a robust and flexible access control solution that combines multiple authentication methods with comprehensive user management and security features. Its intuitive interface, clear feedback mechanisms, and straightforward maintenance procedures make it an effective choice for managing secure access in various environments.
