3.1 Hardware Configuration

You will need two push buttons. A push button should close the circuit when the button is pressed and open the circuit when the button is released. A good option for this solution is an infrared touchless sensor. These types of buttons are touchless and allow the person checking in to just wave the hand in front of the button.

One button will be considered the Check-in Button and the other the Check-out Button. The buttons are identical in design but should be labeled and/or placed such that a person knows which one to trigger.

To connect the push buttons, do the following:

1. Connect GROUND on both buttons to SAFR SCAN Ground
2. Connect WIEG IN EXT0/D0 on SAFR SCAN to the Check-In Button
3. Connect WIEG IN EXT1/D1 on SAFR SCAN to the Check-Out Button

3.2 Software Configuration

Enable the Time and Attendance buttons as follows:

1. Open SAFR Desktop
2. Open Video Feeds from Tools menu
3. Chose Operation Settings from the “…” menu
4. Click on the Attendance panel
5. Set Attendance Mode to “Weigand Check-In and Check-Out” as shown below.
   • Wiegand must be disabled for this setting to be enabled. If not, you will be prompted to disable it.
6. If the push buttons are connected, the feature is fully enabled and the system is ready for operation.
