On the plan

Where each part goes

One controlled door, and how each part is wired A door with a card reader outside wired by 26-bit Wiegand, an EM lock on the frame switched by the controller's Form C lock relay at 12 V DC 0.43 A, the lock's signal wire to the door status input, an exit button inside on the exit input, and an emergency break glass in series with lock power. The cables run to a C3 Plus controller powered at 9.6 to 14.4 V DC, connected over TCP/IP to ZKBio CVSecurity, which is licensed per door.

At the door

Outside the door, people see only the reader

The lock sits on the frame, the exit button inside and the controller in a riser or ceiling space. What staff and visitors see is one reader beside the door.

  • FR1500S fingerprint reader: flush-mounts in a single gang box and connects over RS-485 to InBio and InBio Pro panels.
  • KR500 card reader: slim mullion reader for card-only doors on a C3 Plus panel, 26-bit Wiegand on the E model.
  • Both run on 12 V DC from the panel side, so plan the cable run to the controller before the door is finished.

How it works

In 4 steps

  1. 01PresentA card, fingerprint or face at the reader outside, or at a standalone terminal.
  2. 02CheckThe reader passes it to the controller over Wiegand or RS-485. The controller checks this person's access level for this door at this time.
  3. 03ReleaseIf valid, the controller's lock relay releases the lock for a few seconds. If not, the door stays shut and the attempt is logged.
  4. 04MonitorA door position sensor on the panel's door status input reports when the door is open, so a door propped open or forced raises an alarm. The lock signal output only confirms that the lock is bonded. Exit buttons let people out without a credential.

Installation

Quoted after a site survey, or carried out by your own installer. Not in the prices above.

  • Cable and conduit from each door to the controller, run before false ceilings close
  • Fixing the lock, bracket, reader and exit button at each door
  • A fixed IP address for the controller on your network

Assumptions

  • One door to start; change Doors and Users above
  • A framed door that takes the L bracket; glass and narrow frames need the U or LZ bracket
  • 125 kHz EM ID cards (26-bit Wiegand from the KR500 E reader); 13.56 MHz MIFARE cards need the KR500 M model and matching cards
  • Managed from the C3 Plus built-in web server unless you add ZKBio CVSecurity

Capacity limits

  • C3-100 Plus: 1 door with 2 Wiegand reader inputs (entry and exit) and 1 door status input; 100,000 users and cards, 500,000 events (C3 Plus series figures)
  • More doors: C3-200 Plus (2) or C3-400 Plus (4), or add panels

Prerequisites, not in this configuration

  • 12 V power supply and backup battery, sized for all locks and readers
  • Emergency break glass and the fire alarm interface, wired to cut lock power

Not included

  • Power supply, battery and break glass (see prerequisites)
  • ZKBio CVSecurity licences, unless you add the optional line
  • Installation labour and cabling

Options and alternatives

  • ZKBio CVSecurity, for central management; small sites can use the panel's web server
  • A door position sensor (door contact) for door-held-open and forced-open alarms
  • Alternative: FR1500S fingerprint reader on an InBio Pro Plus panel, instead of the KR500 on the C3 Plus
  • Alternative: KR500 M model with 13.56 MHz cards, instead of the E model with 125 kHz ID cards
  • Alternative: U or LZ bracket instead of the L bracket, by door type

Buying guidance

The KR500 E model sends 26-bit Wiegand, and the C3 Plus accepts 26, 34 and 66-bit Wiegand readers. The EML280-5 lock signal output shows whether the lock is bonded, not whether the door is open. For door-held-open and forced-open alarms, add a door position sensor (door contact) on the panel's door status input. The cards must match the reader: 125 kHz ID for the E model. We confirm lock and bracket choices against your doors in the quotation.

Doors, people and reports in ZKBio CVSecurity

The C3 Plus has a built-in web server for a few doors. For more doors, sites and reports, the panel reports over TCP/IP to ZKBio CVSecurity.

  • Web-based: run it on a Windows PC or Windows Server and open it in Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.
  • Platform limits of 300,000 people and 5,000 doors; licences are sized to the doors and modules you use.
  • Area headcount, access levels by door and time, and access reports, as in the screen shown.

Every controlled door needs a controller channel, a reader outside, a lock with the right bracket, and an exit button inside. Cards suit most doors, with biometric readers or face terminals at sensitive ones. The list gives example models from small offices to larger projects. Run through our door setup checklist before you count parts.

Details

Software, installation and growth

Software

ZKBio CVSecurity is the management software for the ZKTeco controllers and terminals in this system. The C3 Plus and InBio Pro Plus panels, and terminals such as the F22, SpeedFace V5L and ProBio Plus, list it as supported. Used from a browser, it enrols people, assigns access levels by door and time zone, shows door status and produces event reports.

Doors are added with licences: the ZKBio CVSecurity 10-Door Expansion License adds ten doors to an existing installation as a perpetual licence. The ZKBio CVSecurity Mobile App lets admins unlock doors remotely, cancel alarms, start a lockdown and receive push notifications. The C3 Plus, InBio Pro Plus and MORX MAC panels also have a built-in web server for small setups. Armatura projects use Armatura One, which the AHSC-1000 lists.

Installation considerations
  • Cabling: run every door’s cables to the controller before false ceilings close. MORX MAC panels list Wiegand reader runs up to 80 metres; RS485 readers share one bus on InBio controllers.
  • Power and backup: EM locks draw current whenever locked, so size the 12V supply for all locks and readers, and add a battery. C3 Plus and InBio Pro Plus list an optional enclosure with power supply and battery space; the Armatura ENC-1B bundles one for AHSC and AHDU controllers.
  • Fire safety and emergency egress: escape route doors must open when power fails or the fire alarm operates, so use fail-safe locks and wire the fire alarm to cut lock power. Fail-secure strikes and rim locks suit store rooms, not exit routes. Follow the National Building Code and your local fire authority.
  • Mounting: choose the bracket by door type and opening direction.
  • Earthing: earth metal enclosures and keep low-voltage cables away from mains runs.
  • Network: give controllers fixed IP addresses reachable from the ZKBio CVSecurity server.

Installation is carried out by your own installer or electrician. SecurityGearHub supplies the hardware and software and can advise on parts and wiring through installation support.

Growing the system
  • More doors: C3 Plus and InBio Pro Plus come in 1, 2 and 4 door models; add panels and 10-door licences.
  • Another credential: add FR1500S fingerprint readers to an InBio panel, or QR600 readers for visitor QR codes from the ZKBio CVSecurity mobile app.
  • Face at key doors: put a face recognition terminal such as the SpeedFace V5L at the main entry; it records attendance as well.
  • Lifts: the EC16 elevator panel with DEX16 boards restricts floors by card, fingerprint, QR code or face and lists ZKBio CVSecurity.
  • Campus scale: the Armatura AHSC-1000 scales to 129 access points using AHDU door units and AHEB-0808 I/O boards.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I start with one door and add more later?

Yes. A standalone terminal such as the ZKTeco F22 or SpeedFace V5L runs one door, and both list ZKBio CVSecurity. Later, add C3 Plus or InBio Pro Plus panels and manage everything in the same software.

Which lock should I use on a glass door?

Frameless glass usually takes an EM lock on a U bracket, or a glass door bolt such as the ZKTeco F-BL43-5. Check thickness: the MLB-280U is listed for 10 to 15 mm glass.

What happens to the doors in a power cut or a fire?

Fail-safe locks such as EM locks release when power is removed, which is what escape routes need. Add battery backup so doors stay secured during ordinary outages, and wire the fire alarm to cut lock power so every exit door opens in an emergency.

Should we use cards or fingerprints?

Cards are quick to issue and cancel but can be lent. Fingerprint and face tie entry to the person, so many offices add them at the main entry and server room.

Do I need a server for ZKBio CVSecurity?

It installs on Windows 7 to 11 or Windows Server and is used through a browser. A small office can use an always-on PC; larger sites should use a dedicated server.
