S900 User Guide I – CONSIDERATIONS Time & Attendance (T&A) Software Consideration The S900 is designed to work as an Access Control terminal and a Time & Attendance recorder. The S900 runs ZK Software’s T&A software. In addition, the S900 will run numerous 3rd party T&A software applications. Consult with your local ZK Software office to determine which T&A software application is suitable your specific needs (www.zk-usa.com).
S900 User Guide If the S900 is operating in stand-alone mode, (where no 3rd party access control panel exists) assign users’ security privileges directly on the S900. Note: If using the S900 with a 3rd party Wiegand access control panel, users’ security privileges will be maintained by the access control panel and NOT the S900. Step 3: After enrolling user(s), verify that his/her enrolled fingerprint or password is recognized by the S900.
S900 User Guide III –Fingerprint Recognition Technology Prior to operating the S900, it is essential to understand how fingerprint recognition technology works. Adding and verifying fingerprints are the core functions of the S900. Once you acquire a thorough understanding of fingerprint recognition technology, you will find your experience with the S900 to be very productive and rewarding.
S900 User Guide All fingerprints contain a number of unique physical characteristics called minutiae. Minutia includes certain visible aspects of fingerprints such as ridges, ridge endings, and bifurcation (forking) of ridges. Most of the minutiae are found in the core points of fingerprints, which are found near the center of the fingerprint on the fleshy pad of the finger. Figure A-1 shows the positions of core points within fingerprints.
S900 User Guide When the user places his/her finger(s) on the S900 fingerprint sensor during the enrollment process, the S900 takes a picture of that user’s finger’s key minutiae points. Then the S900 uses its proprietary mathematical algorithm and converts that picture into a unique mathematical template which is comparable to a 60-digit password. This unique template is then encrypted and stored in the S900 database.
S900 User Guide Figure A-2 shows poor-quality fingerprints, characterized by smudged, faded or distorted areas on the fingerprint. These conditions can be caused by excessive dryness, wetness, insufficient pressure or scarring of the skin at the fingertip. Figure A-2 The S900 fingerprint matching algorithm is capable of extracting the correct minutiae without the benefit of a perfect print.
S900 User Guide Correcting Wet or Dry Fingerprint Images: When the temperature is rigid or when hands have just been washed, fingerprints often become very dry. In this case, the user should moisturize his/her fingerprint simply by breathing on the fleshy pad of his/her fingertip prior to placing his/her finger on the sensor. The moisture from his/her breath should improve the recognition of his/her fingerprint.
S900 User Guide the sensor. Be sure to maintain contact with the fingerprint sensor for 2 full seconds, until the S900 responds. The S900 has both audio and visual indicators which respond when the S900 senses a finger. Proper Finger Placement The user’s finger should completely cover the sensor. The finger should be placed flat and in the center of the sensor.
S900 User Guide The finger should NOT be placed in the following positions: 9
S900 User Guide Identity Verification The S900 will NOT record an employee’s attendance OR allow door access UNTIL the individual’s identity is verified. The S900 uses various methods to verify a user’s identity: • • • Fingerprint Matching Password Matching Card Matching (optional) Fingerprint Matching The S900 supports two methods of fingerprint matching, 1:N and 1:1.
S900 User Guide How to Use 1:N Fingerprint Matching Start from the Check/Clock-In Screen: From the Check/Clock-In screen, properly place finger on sensor. When the S900 responds, “Thank you," the user has successfully verified his/her identity by using 1:N matching.
S900 User Guide If the S900 responds “Please try again,” the process must be repeated. 1: 1 Fingerprint Matching (ID. NO +fingerprint) When too many users’ fingerprints are not easily recognized by the S900, it can be set to perform 1:1 fingerprint matching. 1:1 matching requires an added step of entering the user’s ID. number first. However, 1:1 matching is more consistent than 1:N matching.
S900 User Guide Start at the Check/Clock-In Screen: From the Check/Clock-In screen, enter the User ID number and press OK. Then the user places his/her finger on the sensor. Note: Remember, the user should place his/her finger flat and keep it centered on the sensor.
S900 User Guide If the S900 recognizes the user’s fingerprint it will prompt: If the S900 does not recognize the user’s finger it will respond by saying “Please try again.” When this occurs, the user again must place his/her finger on the sensor. This time ensuring his/her finger is placed flat and centered on the sensor.
S900 User Guide Password Matching If fingerprint matching becomes too problematic for too many users, they can register with passwords instead of fingerprints. How to Use Password Matching Start at the Check/Clock-In Screen: At the Check/Clock-In screen, enter the employee’s User ID. number and press OK. After a users ID number is entered and the user is NOT prompted to enter his/her password (“PWD”), this means that NO password has been registered to that ID number.
S900 User Guide has mistakenly entered an incorrect ID number. If this is the case, the user should reattempt entering his/her correct user ID number. . After entering the user ID. number, the user will enter his/her password (“PWD”). .
S900 User Guide If the S900 responds with “Thank You”, then the user has successfully verified his/her identity using Password verification. If the S900 prompts the user with “Error Pwd”, then the user should re-attempt entering his/her correct password.
S900 User Guide Door-Access Considerations The S900 is designed to work as an Access Control terminal and a Time & Attendance recorder. Door Access Control decisions are based upon “Who” the user is and “When” the user is permitted door access. The S900 will verify “who” the user is. When the user is granted door access, it can be decided EITHER by the S900 OR a 3rd party Access Control panel.
S900 User Guide If the S900 verifies the user’s identity BUT determines the user is NOT permitted door access AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, the door will NOT release and the S900 displays the following: 1.

S900 User Guide 1.5 Access Control Note: The S900 can operate as a stand-alone door controller. This means the S900 does not need a computer or a 3rd panel to control the door. This manual describes how to set up the S900 as a stand-alone door controller.
S900 User Guide IT IS THE PANEL AND NOT THE S900 WHICH CONTROLS DOOR ACCESS IN THIS CONFIGURATION. WHEN USING THE S900 WITH A 3RD PARTY DOOR CONTROL PANEL, REFER ALL QUESTIONS TO THE CONTROL PANEL MANUFACTURER AND NOT ZK SOFTWARE. S900 as a STAND-ALONE Door Controller The S900 can operate as both a stand-alone Access Control Terminal and as part of an integrated 3rd party access control panel/system. The following instructions apply to the S900 ONLY when it is used as a STAND-ALONE door controller.
S900 User Guide Scroll with the ▲/▼keys and highlight the Access Setting you want to program. Then press OK. a) Time Zone Settings A Time Zone is a user-defined period of time in which the door normally remains accessible or inaccessible to specified users or groups of users. Examples of time zones include work shifts, work days, weekends, holidays, annual company closings, etc. The S900 can store up to 50 time zones. Each user can be assigned up to 3 different time zones.
S900 User Guide Time Zone 1 (TZ1) is weekend-access ONLY. Time Zone 2 (TZ2) is weekday-access ONLY. If a user belongs to TZ1 and TZ2, in effect he/she has access all 7 days of the week Time Zones use an “OR” Logic. Every time zone has a START and END time. Time zones adhere to the format HH:MM - HH:MM Time zones are based on a 24-hour clock (no AM or PM) To prohibit users for a 24-hour period, create the following Time Zone: 23:59 - 23:58.
S900 User Guide First enter a Time Zone (TZ) Number which will define the Time Zone you are creating. You can create up to 50 Time Zones. Then scroll with the ▲ / ▼ / keys to program the start and end times for the various days of the week. When finished, highlight the OK (M/<-) and press the OK key.
S900 User Guide In the above figure, notice each day is programmed with 00:00-23:59. This means the doors are accessible to authorized users ALL THE TIME. But if your operating hours are typically Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm, it is unlikely that your employees will need door access on the weekends. Therefore, you might consider creating a “weekend time zone” in which Mon-Fri is 00:00-23:59 BUT Sat and Sun are 23:59-23:58.
S900 User Guide When there is a holiday, it is unlikely that your employees will need door access. Therefore, you might consider creating a “holiday time zone” in which case the ENTIRE DAY (regardless of the calendar date the holiday falls upon) the doors will be INACCESSIBLE. For each day program 23:59-23:58. If your employees have 2 different work shifts, you might consider a Time Zone for each work shift.
