1.2 Available Options
Ethernet Communications:
With the optional internal Ethernet card, the terminal can be connected to any 10/100
Ethernet network.
Wi-Fi (Wireless) Communications:
The TA-785’s wireless card allows the 745 to communicate over a standard
802.11b network. The wireless network must be configured with an IP address, gateway, subnet, and WEP key (if
available).
P.O.E. (Power over Ethernet:
The TA-785’s has the optional capability of drawing its power from the Ethernet
communications line. This eliminates the need for high voltage power at the terminal locations. Note: The Ethernet
Network must support POE communications.
Biometric Fingerprint Reader:
The TA-785 can store up to 9,090 fingerprint templates for biometric verification (1 to 1)
or identification (1 too many). The terminal utilizes a high resolution 500 dpi finger template.
External Readers:
The TA-785 has two reader ports to connect external devices such as a Bar code Gun or an
Access Control Swipe Reader that could be mounted outside a door.
1.3 Features
The TA-785 is constructed of injection molded plastic, which, pound for pound is stronger than steel, yet lightweight
and attractive. The terminals have recessed membrane keypads, which create a watertight seal against external
elements.

button enables a 15 second manual operation window if the terminal is on battery back-up power.
1.3.2 Bottom Connector Panel
The connector panel is located at the lower part of the casing, withholding the socket openings for all external
connections as follows (from left to right):
1. External secondary Reader 2 – for optional external readers
2. External secondary Reader 1 – for optional external readers
3. I2C – I/O Extension (N/A) – not used
4. Network
5. Serial I – Serial port connection for printer (N/A) – not used
6. Host – RS-232 / RS-485 Communications
1.4 Internal Components
The TA-785 has two back-up battery modules, one for the real time clock memory and the other for operation during
a power failure.
The standard memory back-up module is a lithium battery, which will keep the internal clock running and the memory
intact, for 30 days during a power failure.
The back-up battery provided (in addition to the standard memory back-up) is a self-recharging system which allows
the terminal to operate during a power failure. The battery provides power for one and a half net hours of use. A shut
down timeout feature enables the terminal to operate for more extended periods of time.

- 3 -
During a power failure, the user presses the battery key to activate the terminal. Data can then be entered and stored
in the TA-785 memory. The time-out will cause the terminal to shut down automatically after the last use of the
terminal, until the battery key is pressed again.
1.4.1 Memory
Asa standard feature, the TA-785 Terminal contains a 256 Kbyte user memory, providing storage for data from more
than 10,000 simple operations. This number depends on the length of the programming tables contained in the
memory, and the complexity of the collected data.
The Alarm light “!”, is located to the left of the display. The alarm light is an
LED that lights when at least half of the memory is used; its blinks when the
memory is almost full.

2.0 Unpacking and Installation
Note: Do not throw away the box or packing materials.
Check the box and the contents for any signs of damage that may have happened during shipment. Carefully unpack
and check the contents.
The TA-785 package contains:
1 TA-785 terminal
Mounting panel/back plate
10 meter serial cable.
1 RJ-45 -> DB9F connector.
Optional w/Modem: LAN Distribution Box w/6” white cable (Part#620178)
Four Phillips flat head 3.5x30mm and anchors, for terminal mounting purpose.
1 Product CD with the manuals and other tools.
2.1 Location/Site Requirements
The terminal can be installed in any normal office or factory environment. Controlled environments are not required
for proper operation of the terminal. However, installing and operating the terminal under adverse conditions may
affect the functionality of the unit.
2.1.1 Selecting a Location
Consider the following environmental factors that may affect the operation of the terminal, when considering a
location:
•The cable should not be installed near EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) sources, such as:
oMotors, generators, alternators and transformers.
oAir conditioners, elevators, etc.
oRadio/Television transmitters, signal generators and internal communication networks.
•Cables should not be within:
o30 cm. (1 ft.) from 5 KVA power lines or less.
o60 cm. (2 ft.) from 5-10 KVA power lines.
o1.5 meters (5 ft.) of power lines exceeding 10 KVA.
•Cables should not run parallel to power lines for more than 15 m. (49 ft.)

-5-
2.2 Mounting the Terminal
Make sure the unit is unplugged and that it is not connected to the network/PC.
Caution: The terminal should not be mounted where it will be exposed to
extreme heat or cold, water, steam, violent vibrations, high electromagnetic
radiation including high voltage power lines and electrical equipment.
Place the terminal near an easily accessible power source. Select an appropriate location for the terminal. The
recommended height from the floor is 140 cm (4’ 7”).
1. Remove the back/mounting panel.
2. Using the Mounting Panel place the panel onto the wall at the correct height, making sure that the panel is
level.
a. Mark the three holes for the screws for your drilling locations.
i. Drill holes using drill bit size: 0.23” (6 mm) and insert the plastic screw anchors.
b. Options for power cable and communication wiring.
i. If you are running the wiring within the wall that the clock is mounted to, you have the
option of running the cabling through the center hole of the mounting plate.
ii. If you are bringing the cable from outside the wall, there are knockouts located on both
sides of the cable shield of the mounting plate.
Warning: Live wires in the vicinity may contain 115v or 230v. Make sure not to
drill into any electric wires. Failure to heed this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
3. Mount the back plate making sure that the plate is level.
a. Use the screws that came in the kit to complete the mounting of the back plate.
4. Mount terminal by sliding the unit unto the tabs on the back of the terminal.

-6-
a. Note: Before mounting the terminal to the back plate, you will need to plug in the electrical
connection and the communications wires to the bottom of the terminal before sliding the terminal
into place.
3.0 Terminal Configuration
The TA-785 Terminal can be connected to the host computer using either RS-232(Direct), RS-485(LAN), Ethernet
including Wi-Fi or Modem connections.
3.1 Entering Technician Mode
The TA-785 Terminal contains a built in configuration program called Technician mode. Technician mode enables
the set-up of the following options:
Real Time clock I (RTC) calibration
Baud Rate
Fingerprint unit Baud rate
Printer Baud rate
Station ID settings
Modem Rings
Network connection settings
User Field – A field in which the user can fill-in 4 digits that will characterize that terminal

3.2 Communication and Configuration
3.2.1 Communication parameters
Communication between the host and terminals is performed under an asynchronous mode. The baud rate is
programmable, enabling rates from 1200 to 19200 bps.
3.2.2 Multiple terminal configurations
RS-485 communication enables you to connect up to 32 terminals to a single COM port and/or to extend the cabling
distance to up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) using 9600 baud via an RS-485 multi-drop line. RS-485 communication uses
three wires as opposed to RS-422 communication, which uses four wires.
3.2.3 Point to point configuration
A single TA-785 terminal, equipped with RS-232 communications, can be connected directly to an asynchronous RS-
232 port. If RS-232 communication is used, only one terminal may be connected to each COM port and cabling
distances should not exceed 50 ft.
3.2.5 Network connections
The terminal can be connected to one of the following communication networks:
Ethernet (optional card)
- For this type of communication, an IP address is defined for every TA-785 terminal, enabling
communication with each terminal in any 10/100 Ethernet network.
Wi-Fi (optional card)
- For this type of communication an SSID is specified to authorize the connection and an IP
address is defined for every TA-785 terminal, enabling communication with each terminal in TCP/IP protocol.
