Enhanced Security with
AdapTec-X is a basic accessory suggested for FingerTec ac-
cess control systems. It enhances access control functionali-
ties as well as eases the installation process with its encrypt-
ed communication and secure I/O expansion features and all
these features are compressed into a sleek casing to deliver a
cost effective solution.
HOW ADAPTECX ENHANCES SECURITY
To provide you enhanced security, AdapTec-X will only recognize
encrypted Wiegand signals from FingerTec terminals in order to un-
lock its doors. The code of the encrypted signals is written into the
firmware of FingerTec terminals, which cannot be duplicated into
other devices. This prevents hackers from bypassing this by simply
providing the relay signal to AdapTec-X. Furthermore, separate pow-
er outputs for the door lock system and FingerTec terminals will keep
the door locked even during any failures (i.e.: vandalism to terminals,
etc.). For added security, a siren output port is ready to be linked up
to alarms or sirens to produce alert sounds in case of forced door
openings.

UNDERSTANDING ADAPTECX FUNCTIONS
Enhanced Security with Encrypted Signals
It supports FingerTec encrypted 26-bit Wiegand communication
output; providing enhanced security level for extra protection.
Power Up Terminals & Door Lock Systems
A single AdapTec-X can support a maximum of 2 units of FingerTec
terminals and 2 sets of door lock accessories such as the EM lock and
drop bolt in one single system installation.
Prolonged Life Span of Hardware
With data encryption, the life span of the terminals can be prolonged
without the risk of short-circuiting when using AdapTec-X.
Control IN/OUT Terminals at an Entrance
AdapTec-X is a perfect choice for an IN/OUT installation, where a
door is controlled both at the entrance and the exit.
Supports Rechargeable Backup Battery
Connects well to any 12VDC rechargeable backup battery, providing
power to ensure protection of access during any events of power
failure.
Emergency Alerts with Siren
Compatible with an NC siren type with a maximum of 0.5A load for
an emergency event e.g. if the terminal is being dismantled without
authorization.
Seamless Integration with FingerTec Terminals
Mix and match the FingerTec terminals via AdapTec-X for a cost ef-
fective access control system suitable for small and medium sized
offices.

OTHER FEATURES
You will find a buzzer, 3 LED indicators, and a door lock timer on the board. Check
and set each of them accordingly after powering up the system.
1You will hear the buzzer beep to indicate
•Unlocked Door
Door is unlocked and access is granted (during verification or pressing push
release button).
•Over Voltage (After startup)
Over voltage of power input (Stop the power supply to the system immedi-
ately and check the input voltage, consult [email protected])
2Adjust the door lock timer for a longer or shorter unlocking time period by turn-
ing the screw clockwise. Count the LED blinks after turning it. Each blink repre-
sents 1 second and the recommended time period is 5 seconds (5 blinks).
3A switch to select the type of door lock to use, NO type or NC type.
4The LED lights up to indicate the following:
•EM lock LED - The EM lock system is charged up and working properly.
•Status LED - The overall system is working properly.
(Note: Contact [email protected] if either of the above LED lights are not lit up.)
•Bat Low LED - The battery is weak and needs to be charged or replaced.

Step 1Look for the power input port on
the FingerTec terminal. Normally the con-
nection ports on the terminals are marked as
PWR/+12V (red wire) and GND (black wire).
Step 2
Convenient Installation: Look for the door
lock output port NO and GND from the
terminal.Secure Installation: Look for the
Wiegand output port, WDO (green), WD1
(white) and GND (black) from the terminal.
Step 3
Connect the wires from the terminals to
AdapTec Plus.
Convenient Installation: See diagram 1, page 8 for
details. Secure Installation: See diagram 2, page 8 for
details.
Step 4Connect the wires from AdapTec-X
to the door lock system. (See diagram 1, page 8
for details). (Ignore this if you only want to use the sys-
tem for time attendance purposes)
Step 5Connect AdapTec-X to a 12VDC
rechargeable backup battery. (See diagram 1,
page 8 for details). (This is optional. Ignore this if you
do not need any backup power).
Step 6Connect AdapTec-X to a power
source (12VDC 3A).
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:

CONNECTING ADAPTECX TO AN ALARM SIREN
For all FingerTec door access control models, there is a security
button behind the terminal. During normal operation, the secu-
rity button is compressed and once the terminal is dismantled,
the button will be released and a “System broken” message will
appear onscreen.
During the release of the button, the terminal will output an alarm signal. How-
ever, no alarm sound will be emitted if the terminal is not equipped with an
external siren.To use the siren feature, we recommend that you install an ad-
ditional alarm siren and connect it to the FingerTec terminals.
Benefits of Using AdapTec-X with Alarm Siren
We recommend that you install a terminal along with AdapTec-X if you plan
to use the alarm siren. In AdapTec-X, an additional port is readily built to re-
ceive the alarm signal from the FingerTec terminals. AdapTec-X has an output
of DC12V and it is suitable for use with an alarm siren that has the same power
input. You do not need to source an additional DC12V power supply for this
purpose. Furthermore, AdapTec-X comes with a “Siren Mute” button where
you can press the button to deactivate the alarm siren when required.
