Some companies look for full control of their own premises. Requirements such as having just one way in and out with two doors to control the access movement within the building. This can be done by setting in our R3 device using the anti-passback feature. This setting will not have any problem with our current device and can be done easily with our Master-slave connection. Due to the distinct requirements raised by certain customers, the Master-Slave setup for door access solution using the Master-Master setup is still valid. In this tips we provide, we are using two R3 devices as an example for this Master-slave Anti-passback setting configuration and connection, please follow the instructions below:
1) Configure both R3 to change its function to support the Master slave setting by following the previous tip “Modifying Setup from Master-Master to Master-Slave”
2) Connect the R3 ( MASTER) - R3 (SLAVE) follow the connection diagram below:
For your better understanding, here is the connection block diagram:
3) For this connection, the External Relay 12VDC required for controlling the EM lock only opens accordingly with an anti-passback setting.
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

Introduction
QR110 QR Code Scanner is FingerTec latest product that comes with a new verification method: QR Code along with the capabilities to scan RFID/MiFare access cards as well. As a slave reader, QR110 will need to be paired with FingerTec Ingressus controllers and master readers such as R3, R2, Q2i and etc before the whole system works.
Supported model:
Q2i, R3, R2, Face ID 3, Kadex, m-Kadex, Ingressus I/II/IV
QR110 is built with a 26-bit Wiegand communication. Even though FingerTec master devices comes with 34-bit and 26-bit Wiegand, by default all FingerTec Master Devices is set with 26-bit Wiegand Communication.
For information on QR110 (MiFare), please refer to this post:
How To Pair QR110 (MiFare) With FingerTec Master Readers
Please follow the steps below for QR110 (RFID) installation:
Process:
1) Connect the wirings between QR110 and FingerTec Controller and Biometrics Devices

devices to the following QR110 ports (D1, D0, GND, VCC) as shown in the circuit diagram below:
Example : R2 Connection to QR110
2) If there is no response on Master device when you wave card or scan QR code on QR110, please check the Wiegand bit Format in FingerTec Device
*QR110 is not compatible with Q2i (FEM 510)
and proceed to input the IP address of m-Kadex into the software tool. Once updated, the
m-Kadex device will now accept 26-bit Wiegand Connection. (This method can also be applied
to R2 and Kadex) Please refer to the screenshot below for more information:
In Ingressus I, II, and IV, the devices will automatically detect and configure its Wiegand Connection once connected to QR110. Therefore, removing the need for any manual setting.
After the configuration is done, the FingerTec devices will then be paired with QR110.
Introduction
As per our customers’ feedback, users would fail to verify at R3 after using the terminal for some time. Our technical team has run a series of tests on the device and found the bug, which is related to anti-pass back feature.
Bug Description R3 with anti-pass back feature turned on, after an anti-pass back verification is recorded, the device can not verify user anymore.
Solution
To solve the bug, please update device’s firmware to latest version.
Please contact your local reseller or Fingertec Support team to retrieve latest firmware update.
Benefits of Anti-Pass Back Feature in R3The anti-pass back feature of the R3 device allows the admin to prevent users from tailgating behind other people. It does this by denying access to users that verify at the same terminal consecutively. For example, if the user enters a zone without verifying at the entrance terminal, they will not be able to leave that zone when they verify themselves at the exit terminal. This feature requires a slave device (usually R2c) in conjunction with R3 to function. Both will control the same door, one for the entrance and one for the exit.
Introduction
Access level configuration is a function that could help clients secures their property. Clients are able to set different Access Level for each authorized user according to the time zone, with combination of verification type. With this function, you can enhance security by limiting user access to your premises with specific time zone and group verification type.
Benefits
By configuring the Access Level, the security mechanism for your premises is tightened to prevent it from being invaded by any unauthorized individuals.
Process
1. Add a door > add your R3 and FaceID3 device to the door
2. Define the start and end time applicable for this Time Set. You can configure up to 3 different time sets in a day. Access Level > Time Set > Create a time set. Take note that the time access periods need to set continuously without overlapping, as shown in picture below. Following the example below, users will be granted access from 9am to 6pm and 8pm to 10pm every day.
3. Access Group > Create a new access group > Add the door that which to upload the access level > Choose the time set created in step 2 > Select group verify type
4. Add user into the access group > Transfer to device
*Note that this step will transfer the access group to the terminal along with the users in the group; user(s) that are not in any access group will be deleted from the terminal.
All the FingerTec terminals are equipped with a flash memory to store
transaction data, fingerprint templates, face templates, etc. The flash memory
is a permanent (non-volatile) storage and it can store data even without the
power supply. The FingerTec terminals’ memory capacity varies for each model.
Time attendance only terminals have far less transaction storage capacity
compared to the multimedia models.
When you perform a successful verification, the
terminal will store a transaction log into its memory. The transaction will be
stored in the terminal until it is downloaded into our TCMSv2 software, or
manually deleted. If you do not download or delete the transaction data after a
period of time, the memory’s storage will reach its maximum capacity and the
terminal will cease to work or function properly. If you are using a USB flash
disk to manage the transaction records, click here for further instructions. If you are only using the FingerTec terminal
for door access purposes and do not need the transaction data, it is
recommended that you perform a housekeeping to ensure that the terminals to
continue to work in a tip top condition.
You can set a reminder at the terminal before
its memory reaches the maximum capacity. If the configured figure is 99, the
terminal will alert users when it reaches its last 99 transaction
storage.
