DETAILS OF WIRING
AdapTec-X supports 2 types of installations, Convenient or Secure. You can select between
modes by applying different wiring arrangements during installation. Under Convenient
mode, AdapTec-X will unlock doors immediately after receiving responses from FingerTec
devices. This feature is supported by all FingerTec models.
For installations using Secure mode, there will be a 1s time delay when unlocking the door
after verification at FingerTec devices. This delay is due to the 26-bit Wiegand transmission of
encrypted password from device to AdapTec-X. This is an optional security feature provided
by AdapTec-X for users who favor more security (slight delay) over convenience (no delays).
AdapTec-X works with FingerTec terminals via an encrypted Wiegand signal to control the
door open-close mechanism. Please make sure you are using the following FingerTec models
that support the encrypted 26-bit Wiegand signal to work with the AdapTec-X to setup a
door lock system:
