For all connections, do the following:

  1. Pull the appropriate 8-pin connector (i.e. T2 or T1) from its slot to expose the screws that secure the wires.
  2. Insert the connecting wires into the specified pins.
  3. Tighten the screws to secure the wires in place.

4.1.2 Software Setup

To configure SAFR SCAN’s software, do the following:

  1. Open a web browser on a PC or Mac and go to the SAFR SCAN Console.
  2. Go to the Operation tab.
  3. On the Access Control side tab, set the Access Mode setting to Face Recognition.

  2. Insert the connecting wires into the specified pins.
  3. Tighten the screws to secure the wires in place.

Wiegand Connections

OSDP Connections

  • Connect Wiegand In Ext1 on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding output on the card reader.
  • Connect Wiegand In Ext0 on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding output on the card reader.
  • Connect Wiegand Out Ext1 on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding input on the PAC Panel.
  • Connect Wiegand Out Ext0 on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding input on the PAC Panel.
  • Connect Ground on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding input on the PAC Panel.
  • Connect OSDP In B/- on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding output on the card reader.
  • Connect OSDP In A/+ on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding output on the card reader.
  • Connect OSDP Out B/- on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding input on the PAC Panel.
  • Connect OSDP Out A/+ on SAFR SCAN to the corresponding input on the PAC Panel.

4.3.2 Software Setup

To configure SAFR SCAN’s software, do the following:

  1. Open a web browser on a PC or Mac and go to the SAFR SCAN Console.
  2. Go to the Operation tab.
    1. On the Access Control side tab and set the Access Mode setting to Face Recognition AND Access Card.
  3. Go to the System tab.
    1. Go to either the Wiegand or OSDP side tab, depending on which you’re using, and set the Connection to Control Panel field to Enabled.
    2. Go to either the Wiegand or OSDP side tab, depending on which you’re using, and set the Connection to Card Reader field to Enabled.

4.3.3 Behavior

When a known face with access credentials is presented to SAFR SCAN, the access card format and IDs are retrieved from the matched person record. SAFR SCAN then awaits card reader input from the In ports with the same credentials. If found, those credentials are then sent over the Out ports to the PAC panel, which looks up the user credentials and grants access if permitted.

SAFR SCAN also allows the reverse order for authentication. (i.e. first badge and then face)

4.4 Single Factor Authentication with Relay

This page describes how to install and configure SAFR SCAN to use single factor face authentication to grant access via an electronically locked door connected by a relay.

4.4.1 Hardware Setup

To configure the hardware, do the following:

  1. Pull the T1 8-pin connector from its slot to expose the screws that secure the wires.
  2. Connect Relay COM on SAFR SCAN to the red wire on the relay.
  3. Connect Relay NO on SAFR SCAN to the red DC wire on the power supply.
  4. Connect the black DC wire on the power supply to the black wire on the relay.
  5. Tighten the screws to secure the wires in place.

4.4.2 Software Setup

To configure SAFR SCAN’s software, do the following:

  1. Open a web browser on a PC or Mac and go to the SAFR SCAN Console.
  2. Go to the Operation tab.
    1. On the Access Control side tab and set the Access Mode setting to Face Recognition.
  3. Go to the System tab.
    1. Go to the Door strike relay side tab and set the Electric door strike relay field to Enabled.

4.4.3 Behavior

When a known face with access credentials is presented to SAFR SCAN, the Normally Open (NO) relay port is closed. This action closes the circuit connecting the power supply positive terminal to the positive terminal on the door lock mechanism which in turn releases the lock mechanism allowing the door to be opened.

4.5 Two Factor Authentication with Relay

This page describes how to install and configure SAFR SCAN to use two factor authentication to grant access via an electronically locked door. In addition, a light connected to a relay turns on when someone is granted access.

  1. Pull the appropriate 8-pin connector (i.e. T2 or T1) from its slot to expose the screws that secure the wires.
  2. Insert the connecting wires into the specified pins.
  3. Tighten the screws to secure the wires in place.

  1. Open a web browser on a PC or Mac and go to the SAFR SCAN Console.
  2. Go to the Operation tab.
    1. On the Access Control side tab and set the Access Mode setting to Face Recognition AND Access Card.
  3. Go to the System tab.
    1. Go to either the Wiegand or OSDP side tab
      1. Depending on which you’re using, and set the Connection to Control Panel field to Enabled.
      2. Depending on which you’re using, and set the Connection to Card Reader field to Enabled.
    2. Go to the Door strike relay side tab and set the Electric door strike relay field to Enabled.

4.5.3 Behavior

When a known face with access credentials is presented to SAFR SCAN, the access card format and IDs are retrieved from the matched person record. SAFR SCAN then awaits card reader input from the In ports with the same credentials. If found, two things occur:

  • Those credentials are then sent over the Out ports to the PAC panel, which looks up the user credentials and grants access if permitted.
  • The Normally Open (NO) relay port is closed, causing the light hooked up to the relay to turn on.

SAFR SCAN also allows the reverse order for authentication. (i.e. first badge and then face)
