Regulatory Informaon
FCC Informaon
Please take aenon that changes or modicaon not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC compliance: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable
protecon against harmful interference in a residenal installaon. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the
instrucons, may cause harmful interference to radio communicaons. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a parcular installaon. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
recepon, which can be determined by turning
the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more

Industry Canada ICES-003 Compliance
This device meets the CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B) standards requirements.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operaon is subject to
the following two
condions:
1. this device may not cause interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operaon of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils
radioexempts de licence.
L'exploitaon est autorisée aux deux condions suivantes :
1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
2.
l'ulisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage
est suscepble d'en compromere le fonconnement.
Under Industry Canada regulaons, this radio transmier may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmier by Industry Canada. To reduce
potenal radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that
the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communicaon.
Conformément à la réglementaon d'Industrie Canada, le présent émeeur radio peut fonconner
avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émeeur par
Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intenon des
autres ulisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une
communicaon sasfaisante.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance 20cm between the
radiator and your body.

Appendix A. Tips for Scanning Fingerprint
Recommended Finger
Forenger, middle nger or the third nger.
Correct Scanning
The gure displayed below is the correct way to scan your nger:
You should press your nger on the scanner horizontally. The center of your scanned nger should
align with the scanner center.
Incorrect Scanning
The gures of scanning ngerprint displayed below are incorrect:

Environment
The scanner should avoid direct sun light, high temperature, humid condions and rain.
When it is dry, the scanner may not recognize your
ngerprint successfully. You can blow your
nger and scan again.
Others
If your ngerprint is shallow, or it is hard to scan your ngerprint, we recommend you to use other
authencaon methods.
If you have injuries on the scanned nger, the scanner may not recognize. You can change another
nger and try again.

Appendix B. DIP Switch Descripon
No.1 to No 8 is from the low bit to the high bit.
When the switch is towards ON, it means the switch is enabled, otherwise, the switch is o. If you
set the DIP switch like the gure displayed below, its binary value is 00001100, and its decimal
value is 12.

Wiegand Data
Wiegand Data = Valid Data + Parity Data
Total Length
Wiegand data length.
Transportaon
Rule
4 bytes. Display the combinaon types of valid data. The example displays the combinaon of Card
ID and Manufacturer Code. The valid data can be single rule, or
combinaon of mulple rules.
Parity Mode
Valid parity for Wiegand data. You can select either odd parity or even parity.
Odd Parity Start Bit, and Length
If you select Odd Parity, these items are available. If the odd parity start bit is 1, and the length is
12, then the system will start odd parity calculaon from bit 1. It will calculate 12 bits. The result
will be in bit 0. (Bit 0 is the
rst bit.)
DS-K281X Series Access Controller User Manual

Even Parity Start Bit, and Length
If you select Even Parity, these items are available. If the even parity start bit is 12, and the length is
12, then the system will start even parity calculaon from bit 12. It will calculate 12 bits. The result
will be in the last bit.
XOR Parity Start Bit, Length per Group, and Total Length
If you select XOR Parity, these items are available. Depending on the table displayed above, the
start bit is 0, the length per group is 4, and the total length is 40. It means that the system will
calculate from bit 0, calculate every 4 bit, and calculate 40 bits in total (10 groups in total). The
result will be in the last 4 bits. (The result length is the same as the length per group.)
Card ID Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit
If you use the transformaon rule, these items are available. Depending on the table displayed
above, the card ID start bit is 0, the length is 32, and the decimal digit is 10. It represents that from
bit 0, there are 32 bits represent the card ID. (The length here is calculated by bit.) And the decimal
digit length is 10 bits.
Site Code Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit
If you use the transformaon rule, these items are available. For detailed informaon, see the
explanaon of the card ID.
OEM Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit
If you use the transformaon rule, these items are available. For detailed informaon, see the
explanaon of the card ID.
Manufacturer Code Start Bit, Length, and Decimal Digit
If you use the transformaon rule, these items are available. Depending on the table displayed
above, the manufacturer code start bit is 32, length is 8, and decimal digit is 3. It represents that
from bit 32, there are 8 bits are manufacturer code. (The length here is calculated by bit.) And the
decimal length is 3.
