eSSL F18
eSSL F18 – Biometric Fingerprint Attendance & Access Control Machine
eSSL F18 is a versatile standalone biometric machine from ESSL (ZK Technologies') that combines fingerprint attendance recording with door access control. With 3,000 user capacity, it uses an infrared detection fingerprint sensor for reliable operation even in varying light conditions.
The F18 reads both fingerprints and RFID cards, features a TFT LCD display, and includes Wiegand input/output for third-party panel integration. Built-in serial (RS485) and Ethernet ports, plus tamper switch and alarm contacts, make it a comprehensive security and attendance device for offices and factories.
Key Features:
- Reliable infrared detection fingerprint sensor for accurate recognition
- Reads fingerprint and RFID cards for multi-factor authentication
- Wiegand input/output for third-party access control panel integration
- Built-in Ethernet (TCP/IP) and RS485 serial communication
- TFT LCD display with three interface styles (common, matrix, magic)
- 3rd-party electric lock, door sensor, exit button, alarm, doorbell support
- Tamper switch and alarm contacts for physical security
- Optional Mifare smart card reader
