Introduction
AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X has a siren function to pair with a master device to enhance the alarm sound signal from a master device. This siren will go off when a master device sends a signal such as a door open, a device broken, etc (depends on types of master) to AdapTec Plus and Adaptec X.
Process
FingerTec Remote Control Door Switch has two channels to mute the triggered alarm at AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X Siren and Exit Switch. Exit Switch using Remote Control Door Switch is easier for users because they can control door access remotely without needing long wiring for the exit button. Hence, receptionists can open the door for authorized people remotely.
Connection above is for internal siren for AdapTec Plus or Adaptec X only. For more sound coverage, an additional external siren 12VDC can be added.
Note: If some of the screenshots or steps viewed here are different from the ones in the current system, this is due to our continuous effort to improve our system from time to time. Please notify us at [email protected], we will update it as soon as possible.
Introduction
The TA100C (FMM) is a
biometric terminal for time attendance that includes an internal siren and
allows the connection of external sirens for an effective alarm system. This
system can also be scheduled to signal events within the working schedule such
as starting work time or end of break. The two types of sirens that can be
connected to the TA100C (FMM) are:
- 12Vdc for small
industries or office use
- 240Vac for big
factories with a noisy environment
To compensate for the
additional power required for the external sirens, the Adaptec TA can be used
as a power supply and backup in case of power failures, ensuring that your
alarm system is always running.
Benefits
Connecting your terminals to
the Adaptec TA ensures a stable and reliable power source for your system to
operate at optimum capacity. By connecting the terminal and external siren to the
Adaptec TA, the internal relay of the terminal will be protected from the high
voltage. If the voltage is too high, the fuse in Adaptec will break the
circuit, thus protecting the internal components of the terminal.
Adaptec TA has 2 power sources, 5VDC and 12VDC and you can
connect any of FingerTec terminals to Adaptec TA by selecting the correct
voltage. It also comes with a backup power in case of power failure.
Process
To connect the external siren to the terminal, follow the
steps below.
1. Open
the back casing of the TA100C (FMM) terminal.
2. Plug
in the connector of the external siren into the MCU Board.
3. Follow
the wiring diagram to connect the terminal to Adaptec TA.
4. Change
the External Bell Relay settings in the terminal device itself.
Go to Menu > Personalize > Bell Schedule
> Options > External Bell Relay > NC2
5. To
add a new bell schedule, go to Menu > Personalize > Bell Schedules >
New Bell Schedule > Set
the option accordingly:
·
Bell
Status: To turn the bell on or off.
·
Bell
Time: Set the time for the bell to ring automatically.
·
Repeat:
Set the bell to repeat on certain days or every day.
·
Bell
Type: You can set for the bell to be triggered from the internal bell or from
an
external bell that is wired to the device.
·
Ring
Tone: Select your preferred ringtone that will emit from the bell.
·
Internal
Bell Relay: Specifies the time duration for the alarm to ring (ranges from 1s
to999s).
·
External
Bell Relay: Specifies the time duration for the alarm to ring (ranges from 1s
to999s).
If you are
using AdapTec with any FingerTec terminals, the terminals will output the same
Wiegand code due to AdapTec’s features. This could cause some inconveniences if
you integrate the terminals with a 3rdparty controller.
You can
disable the AdapTec Plus option and revert to the normal 26-bit Wiegand output
signal for a 3rdparty controller by using our FT Tool.
Click
here
to download the FT Tool.

more details on the functionalities of the tool, click here.
With AdapTec Plus, you can unlock a
door easily by using a remote control. Pair your door remote control with
AdapTec Plus to use this feature.
Below is the wiring diagram showing
you how to do it.
The siren
output signal from a FingerTec device is known as a dry contact and this
basically means that the signal is not initially connected to a voltage
source. It can also be referred to as a secondary set of contacts of a relay circuit, which does not make or break the primary current that is being controlled by the relay. Selected FingerTec devices that come with a siren include TA100C, AC100C, TimeLine 100 and other time attendance systems.
Previous
installations to connect a siren with a FingerTec device could only support DC12V
sirens. Now, AC240V sirens, which emits a louder sound compared to the DC12V siren, can be used in the installation provided that the relay used to control a circuit between the FingerTec device and
siren supports the appropriate voltage. A power supply, such as
AdapTec Plus for example, is required and must also be compatible with the relay in
order for the connection to be successful.
The
following installation diagram will guide you on connecting a FingerTec
device to an AC240V siren with the use of a relay board and power supply.
With this in place, there is now an option provided for you to select the siren that suits your implementation better, be it a DC12V or AC240V siren.
Under certain configurations, FingerTec devices can be paired with each other in the same access control environment such as the H2i device. To pair one H2i device with another H2i device, the user needs to modify the setup for the master terminals to use it as master-slave terminals. For instructions on how to modify the setup, click here.
As a gentle reminder, please make sure that:
- Master reader - AdapTec Plus is turned ON and the Wiegand output is User ID.
- Slave reader - AdapTec Plus is turned OFF and the Wiegand output is User ID.
Please refer to the below wiring diagram for pairing two H2i devices and and AdapTec Plus:
Convenience VS High-Level Security
AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X are designed to support two installation modes; one provides utmost convenience to users and another provides high-level security but slightly compromised in terms of user experience.
Selection of the modes is available by applying different wiring arrangements during installation.
Under Convenient Mode, AdapTec unlocks doors immediately after receiving feedback from FingerTec devices. All FingerTec models support this feature.
For installations using Secure Mode, there will be a 1 second delay during the unlocking of the door after verification is completed at FingerTec devices. This delay is caused by the 26-bit Wiegand transmission of encrypted data from the devices to AdapTec.
This Secure Mode is an optional security feature provided by AdapTec for users who prefer higher level of security over user convenience. It is important to note here that the Secure Mode only delays the response of AdapTec by 1 second and it doesn’t really affect the overall user experience. Nonetheless, for users who refuse to tolerate a slight delay, Convenient Mode is highly recommended.

Wiring Diagram for Secure Mode Installation
Please refer to the installer manual of AdapTec Plus and AdapTec X for more details.
By using 2 units of Face ID 2, users can now control door access on top of checking time attendance. We will be demonstrating how to connect 2
units of the Face ID 2 terminals to work as IN/OUT terminals. You will need to connect the 2 terminals together
according to the diagram below:
With the above
wiring, you can now have access to enter and also exit from the same door using the
2 units of Face ID 2. Voila!

The most noticeable difference between the 2 AdapTec Plus is the significant weight difference. Almost half the weight lighter compared to its predecessor, the new AdapTec Plus is able to support the NO setting for the door lock accessories such as door strikes and electromagnetic locks. It also has a brand new buzzer feature that works as an indicator every time a door is unlocked, or if there is too high a power input to the AdapTec Plus.
There are a few features that installers would find helpful as well, such as the LED light indicators. There are three LED lights in the AdapTec Plus that indicate to the user that the door lock is working, that the AdapTec processor is in good condition, and that the battery needs to be replaced.
For more information on the features of the new AdapTec Plus, click here.

Update the new firmware of the above models to support the “encrypted 26-bit Wiegand output”. The encrypted 26-bit Wiegand output is specially developed to work with FingerTec’s AdapTec Plus. After each verification, the output for the models above encrypts codes via the 26-bit Weigand signal to the AdapTec Plus to send a door open signal for the users.
Without this new firmware, you will not be able to use the above models with the AdapTec Plus for access control purposes.
New features for TA100C and AC100C Webster connection
Update the new firmware of the TA100C and AC100C, to allow the terminals to work with Webster. This is a fundamental firmware update to add the Webster connection to the mentioned models. However you will still have to contact [email protected] to request a second firmware update to activate Webster settings in your terminal.
New features for m-Kadex
Update the new firmware of the m-Kadex to get these 3 new features:
- To delete attendance logs in m-Kadex
- To download/upload data into USB flash disk
Before this, an administrator can only choose to reset and clear all information in the m-Kadex. Installing the firmware in the m-Kadex, will allow you to clear attendance logs only. Now, administrators can easily clear the attendance logs in the m-Kadex to avoid a memory overflow.
To delete attendance logs in the m-Kadex: wave administrator card 7 times at m-Kadex
Previously, administrators can only use the USB flash disk to download attendance logs and not users. After installing the new firmware, administrator will be able to download attendance logs as well as user data into USB flash disk.
To download attendance logs and user data into a USB flash disk: Plug USB flash disk into m-Kadex à wave administrator card 9 times at m-Kadex
The previous firmware in the m-Kadex does not allow an administrator to upload user data into the m-Kadex via USB flash disk. An administrator can only upload user data to the m-Kadex via the TCMS V2. The new firmware fixes this flaw, and allows administrators to upload user data into m-Kadex via a USB flash disk.
To upload user data to m-Kadex via USB flash disk: download user data into USB flash disk à Plug USB flash disk to m-Kadex à wave administrator card 11 times
