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).
Environmental Considerations
Do not install or operate the S900 where strong light is present. Intense
light will adversely impact the sensor’s ability to accurately read
fingerprints. The S900 is primarily used for indoor use. If it must be
installed outdoors, protect it with an all-weather protective covering
such as outdoor enclosures. This product is manufactured by STI USA
(www.sti-usa.com).
The S900 operating temperature range is 0° to 40° C (32° to 105° F).
Do not operate the S900 in very hot environments. Keep the S900 away
from direct heat sources and provide adequate ventilation to prevent the
S900 from overheating.
II - Abbreviated Operating Procedures
Step 1：Install the S900 and power it up.
Step 2: Enroll users by registering his/her fingerprints or passwords.
1
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.
Step 4: Configure the S900 communication settings and then download
the users’ newly enrolled fingerprints from the S900 onto a computer.
Data can be transmitted via TCP/IP or by using a USB flash drive.
Note:
Always back up the fingerprint templates on a computer or
removable media source. Having a “template backup” can
potentially save you a lot of time. If the S900 fails or is vandalized,
having a “backup” eliminates the need of having to re-enroll all
your users.
Step 5：Verify that S900 displays the correct day and time.

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.
How Fingerprint Recognition Technology Works
When the user places his/her finger on a Fingerprint Recognition Device
(i.e. S900) for the first time, the fingerprint is scanned and converted
into a computer-generated “biometric template.” The templates are only
recognized by each respective biometric manufacturer’s device.
However, these “templates” are NOT actual fingerprint images. “Real”
fingerprint images cannot be re-generated from these templates.
3
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. The
core points are represented by the red dots in the figure below (note: if
this manual is printed in black and white you will only see a thick dot
near the upper ridges in the figure below):
Figure A-1
A core point is defined as the topmost point on the innermost upward
recurring ridge line.
A user is considered “enrolled” in the S900 after his/her fingerprint(s) or
password has been successfully registered in the S900.
4
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Privacy issues should never be a concern when using the S900 because
NO REAL IMAGE OF A USER’S FINGERPRINT IS STORED. ONLY the
minutiae-based templates are stored.
Each time a user’s fingerprint is scanned, the S900 searches its database
for a matching fingerprint. If the S900 finds the user’s fingerprint, then
his/her “attendance/door access” is recorded in the S900 “audit log” and
will be noted in subsequent reports.
Getting Good Fingerprint Images
The quality of fingerprint images is relative to the number of minutiae
points captured by the S900’s sensor. Fingerprint images not possessing
an adequate number of minutiae points may be unreadable. It is advised
to issue a secret password for those users whose fingerprint images lack
sufficient minutia points and cannot be read by the sensor. Also, you
may consider purchasing an S900 with an integrated card reader if you
do not intend to assign passwords.
5
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. However, the
positioning of the finger and the moisture and pressure of the fingerprint
are significant factors to consider when it is placed on the sensor. This
will help achieve a good consistent fingerprint match.
6
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.
Conversely, if the fingerprint is too wet, the ridges and valleys are
rendered indistinguishable. The lack of recognizable minutiae causes
wet fingerprints to be rejected by the S900. This can be remedied simply
by swiping the finger on a clean dry towel or cloth.
How much pressure is required for a good-quality
fingerprint?
If too much pressure is applied when pressing down on the sensor, the
finger’s ridges become pressed together and create an unrecognizable
image. Applying too much pressure (similar to fingerprints that are too
wet) will create a “blurred” image which the S900 sensor might not
recognize.
If too little pressure is applied, the resulting image will be similar to the
dry fingerprint and unidentifiable. Issues related to moisture and
pressure can easily be addressed with practice and users getting a feel of

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. The finger should cover at
least 80% of the sensor as shown below:
8
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.
1: N Fingerprint Matching
When using 1:N Fingerprint Matching, the S900 will place the
fingerprint (“1”) in its temporary memory and then compare it to ALL
(“N”) fingerprint templates stored in the S900 database (up to 2800
templates).
By using 1:N matching, the user enjoys the convenience of not entering
his/her User ID number prior to placing his/her finger on the sensor.
1:N is principally a 1-touch matching. It is the FASTEST and EASIEST
method of fingerprint matching.
10
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.
11
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.
How to Use 1:1 Fingerprint Matching
PRIOR to placing his/her finger on the S900 fingerprint sensor, the user
must FIRST enter his/her ID number and press OK. If the fingerprint
template registered with his/her user ID number (“1”) matches his/her
finger (“1”), the user’s identity has successfully been verified using 1:1
fingerprint matching.
12
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.
13
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.
14
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.
If the S900 prompts “Error Enroll NO(number),” this means the user
15
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”).
16
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.
17
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.
If the S900 validates the identity of the user AND determines the user is
permitted door access AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, the door will
release and the S900 displays the following:
18
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. User

c) Enroll New User Fingerprint (FP)
From within the New User Menu, scroll with the ▲/▼keys until
the cursor is in the FP field.
26
S900 User Guide
Notice “Enroll FP” will become highlighted. Press OK to accept
selection. Notice the following screen appears:
27
S900 User Guide
Place the finger you wish to enroll on the sensor, ensuring the
finger is placed flat and centered.
Hold the finger still for at least two full seconds until the S900
prompts with a beep to remove it. You will then be prompted to
repeat the process 2 more times, each time using the very SAME
finger.
Notice that every time the S900 successfully records the user’s
fingerprint, each of the 3 green bars will become highlighted until
all 3 bars ____ ____ ____ are eventually highlighted.
As noted, the S900 will beep with each successful fingerprint
template recording.
28
S900 User Guide
When all 3 fingerprint template recordings are successful, a check
mark will appear beside the 3-colored green bars:
After 3 successful fingerprint “recordings”, the user’s fingerprint
template is now successfully registered in the S900 database.
Press OK if you would like to continue recording additional
fingerprint/templates.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that users register at least
one finger from each hand.
Since the fingerprint sensor may have difficulty reading fingers
with cuts or scratches, having a “backup” finger(s) registered
ensures that the user will always be recognized by the S900. If one
finger is temporarily rendered “unreadable” by recent cuts or
scratches, the user can use their backup finger.
29
S900 User Guide
After fingerprint registration is completed, press the ESC key to

f) User Access Control
In addition to acting as an attendance recorder, the S900 is also an
access control terminal.
Using the S900 with 3rd Party Door Control Panels:
WHEN THE S900 IS USED WITH A 3RD PARTY ACCESS
CONTROL PANEL, THE S900’S SOLE FUNCTION IS
VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE USERS.
AFTER IDENTITY IS VERIFIED, THE S900 SENDS A 26-BIT
WIEGAND SIGNAL TO THE 3RD PARTY CONTROL PANEL
PROVIDING ONLY USER-ID MATCH CONFIRMATION.

New Group:
Creating “groups” allows you to define “unique door access/
security rules” for multiple users. After these “rules” are created,
you can then assign users to these “groups” which have been
created.”
Creating a few groups is much faster than configuring each user’s
individual door access rights/security one at a time.
Creating a Group
From within the User Access menu, use the ▲/▼scroll keys and
place the cursor in the Gp (Group) field:
Then enter a Group Number and press OK.
The S900 will prompt: “GP# NO exist, add it?”
(The “#” refers to the Group Number you entered)
52
S900 User Guide
Press OK again to accept the new Group Number.
The New group Menu will appear:
No. represents the Group Number you just created.
Ver Type represents the ways this group’s members can verifiy
his/her identities:
Use the scroll keys / to select which verification method (or
53
S900 User Guide
combination) this group’s members will use (FP and/or PW and/or PIN
and or RF)
FP = Fingerprint
PW = Password
PIN = Personal Identification Number
RF = Radio Frequency ID (proximity card)
Holidays
Select “Valid” if this group will recognize ALL holidays
programmed into the S900
Select “Invalid” if this group will ignore ALL holidays
programmed into the S900.
TZ1 (Time Zones) – Indicate which time zones apply to this new

Note that a group can be assigned to multiple time zones.
Examples of time zones include work shifts, work days, weekends
and holidays; in other words, times in which the door should
“normally” be accessible or inaccessible.
Duress FP
The S900 also provides a Duress (“manual alarm”) key. Users
with a registered “duress finger” can use the S900 to trigger an
alarm.
Any user can have a Duress finger registered.
54

1.4 Work Codes
In some cases, the same employee may perform different work/jobs.
For example, in a restaurant the same employee may start his/her

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.
Likewise, the S900 can also tie into any 26-bit Wiegand 3rd
party door controller:
WHEN THE S900 IS USED WITH A 3RD PARTY ACCESS
CONTROL PANEL, REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER OF
THE CONTROL PANEL FOR ALL QUESTIONS PERTAINING
TO USER ACCESS RIGHTS AND ACCESS CONTROL
SETTINGS.
WHEN THE S900 IS USED WITH A 3RD PARTY ACCESS
CONTROL PANEL, THE S900’S SOLE FUNCTION IS
VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF THE USERS.
AFTER IDENTITY IS VERIFIED, THE S900 SENDS A 26-BIT
WIEGAND SIGNAL TO THE 3RD PARTY CONTROL PANEL
PROVIDING ONLY USER-ID MATCH CONFIRMATION.
76
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.
From within the User Menu, scroll with the / ▲/▼keys until
Access is highlighted. Press OK key to accept.
The following screen displays:
77
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.
If a user belongs to “multiple” time zones, then he/she has
door-access during all time zones assigned to him/her.
Example:
78
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.
This means there is no door access starting at 11:59pm until
11:58pm the following day. The door is ALWAYS
INACCESSIBLE.
To allow unrestricted door access for a 24-hour period, create the
following Time Zone:
00:00-23:59
This means there is unrestricted access starting at Midnight until
11:59 PM. The door is ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE
How to create Time Zones (TZ):
79
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.
Example: Restricting Door Access to Weekdays only:
80
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.
It is also a good idea to create a Time Zone during which all the
doors remain INACCESSIBLE. This is typical of a holiday, in
which case your employees will not need door access.
Example: Restricting Door Access completely
In the above figure, each day is programmed with 00:00-23:59.
This means the doors are accessible to authorized users ALL THE
TIME.
81
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.
Example: Restricting door access to “Shift 1 employees”
If Shift 1 employees work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Shift 2 employees
work 5 p.m. to 1 a.m:
In the above figure, each day is programmed with 00:00-23:59.
This means the doors are accessible to authorized users ALL THE
TIME.
But if you want to restrict door access from Shift 1 employees
82
S900 User Guide
during Shift 2 hours, then program the following:
Mon to Fri 09:00-17:00
Sat and Sun 23:59-23:58.

d) Unlock Combination Settings
The S900 can be configured so 2 to 5 users need to present their
authorized fingerprints prior to the door releasing. This is called
Multi-User Combination:
Multi-User Combination provides the highest level of door security
and is common when protecting “critical assets” or protecting the
safety of the public:
Typical Multi-User Combination applications include:
• Financial Assets (bank vaults, safes, etc)
• Bio hazardous waste (hospitals).
• Utility plants (i.e. nuclear)
• Weapons Systems
If only ONE of the users of a Multi-User Combination group
attempts access to the door without the other(s), the door will NOT
release!

2. Communication Settings
Time & Attendance Consideration
The S900 only records “time stamps.” It does NOT perform
calculations and will NOT compute “actual hours worked.”
Computing employee work-hours is a function provided by Time &
Attendance (T&A) software running on a computer.
If T&A functionality is desired, you must separately install T&A
software on a computer. As mentioned earlier in the manual, the S900
supports ZK Software’s T&A software and numerous 3rd party T&A
software applications.
Consult with your nearest ZK office to determine which T&A
software is suitable to address your specific business requirements
(www.zk-usa.com).
After installing the T&A software, connect the S900 to the computer
(or network) that is running the T&A software.
The “time stamps” on the S900 will be uploaded into the T&A
software’s database so that employee-hours can be computed and
reports generated.
