Attention:
Install a 1N4004 or equivalent diode is needed when use a common power supply, or the keypad
might be damaged.(1N4004 is included in the packing)
Programming
Programming will vary depending on access confirguration. Follow the instructions according to
your access configuration.
Notes:
User ID number: Assign a user ID to the access card / PIN in order to track it. The common
user ID number can be any number fom 0~597, the panic user ID is from 598~599.
IMPORTANT: User IDs do not have to be proceeded with any leading zeros. Recording of
User ID is critical. Modifications to the user require the User ID be available.
Proximity Card: Any 125KHz industry standard 26 bits HID and EM cards and 13.56MHz
mifare card
PIN: Can be any 4~6 digits except 8888 which is reserved.

Master Cards Usage
Using Master Cards to add and delete card / PIN users
Add a User
1. (Read Master Add Card)
2. (Read User Card) / (Input User PIN #)
Repeat Step 2 for additional user cards / PINs
3. (Read Master Add Card)
Delete a User
1. (Read Master Delete Card)
2. (Read User Card) / (Input User PIN #)
Repeat Step 2 for additional user cards/ PINs
3. (Read Master Delete Card)
Users Operation & Reset to Factory Default
- Open the door: Read valid user card or inputting valid user PIN
- Remove Alarm: Read valid user card or inputting valid user PIN, or input Master Code #
- To reset to factory default & Add Master Cards:power off, press the exit button, hold it and
power on, there will be two beeps, and the LED light turns into yellow, release the exit button, then
read any two cards(can be 125KHz EM card, 125KHz HID card or 13.56MHz Mifare card, the LED
will turn into red, means reset to factory defaultsuccessfully. Of the two cards reading,the 1st one is
Master Add Card, the 2nd one is the Master Delete Card.
Remarks:
①If no Master Cards added, must press the Exit Button for at least
10 seconds before release.
②Reset to factory default, the user's information is still retained.

CONTROLLER MODE
H-TAG can work as Controller, connected with the external Wiegand reader. (Factory default
mode)---8 0#
Connection Diagram
Attention: Install a 1N4004 or equivalent diode is needed when use a common power supply, or
the reader might be damaged. (1N4004 is included in the packing)

Programming
- Basic Programming is the same as Standalone Mode
- There are some exceptions for your attention:
H-TAG Connected with Enternal Card Reader:
•If EM card reader or HID card reader: users can be added/deleted on either H-TAG or external
reader.
•If Mifare reader: users can only be added/deleted on external reader.

11
H-TAG Connected with Fingerprint Reader:
For example:
Connect F2 as the fingerprint reader to H-TAG, it is of two steps to enroll the valid fingerprint.
Step 1: Add the Fingerprint (A) on F2
Step 2: Add the same Fingerprint(A) on H-TAG:
1.
Enter Program Mode : * (Master Code) #
2.
OR
2.
1 (Press Fingerprint A once on F2) # (ID auto allocated)
1 (User ID) # (Press Fingerprint A on F2) # (Select specific ID)
3.
Exit: *
H-TAG Connected with Keypad Reader:
The keypad reader can be 4 Bits, 8 Bits (ASCII), or 10 Bits output format.
Choose the below operation according to the PIN output format of your reader.
Programming Step
Keystroke Combination
1. Enter Program Mode
*(Master Code) #
2. PIN input bits

(factory default is 4bits)
3. Exit
*
Remarks: 4 means 4 bits, 8 means 8 bits, 10 means 10 digits virtual number.
•Add PIN Users:
To add PIN users, after enter into programming mode on H-TAG, PIN(s) can be input/ added on
either H-TAG controller or the external Keypad Reader.
•Delete PIN Users: the same way as add users.

WIEGAND READER MODE
H-TAG can work as Standard Wiegand Reader, connected to the third party Controller--- 8 1 #
Connection Diagram
Notes:
•When set into Wiegand Reader mode, nearly all settings in Controller Model will become
invalid. And Brown & Yellow wires will be redefined as below:
-Brown wire: Green LED light control
-Yellow wire: Buzeer control
•If you need to connect Brown/Yellow wires:
When the input voltage for LED is low, the LED will turn into Green; and when the input
voltage for Buzzer is low, it will sound.
Set Wiegand Output Format
Please set the Wiegand output format of Reader according to the Wiegand intput format of the
Controller.

ADVANCE APPLICATION
Interlock
The H-TAG supports the Interlock funciton. It is of two keypads for two doors, and mainly used for
banks, prisons, and other places where a higher level security is required.
Connection Diagram:
Remarks: The Door Contact must be installed and connected as the diagram.
Let’s name the two H-TAG Keypads as “A “and “B” for two doors “1” and “2”
Step 1:
Enroll the users on Keypad A, then transfer the users’ information to Keypad B by ”User
Information Transfer” funciton.
Step 2:
Set both of the two readers (A and B) to Interlock function
Programming Step

1. Enter Program Mode
*(Master Code) #
2. Interlocked-OFF
OR
2. Interlocked-ON

3. Exit
*
The interlock operation is finished,
When and only door 2 is closed, the user can read the valid card or input PIN on Reader A, door 1
will open; then when and only door 1 closed, read valid card or input PIN on Reader B, door 2 will
open.
