1. Independent Access Control and Independent Time
Attendance
For general time attendance & access control devices, the two functions are combined as a whole and cannot be
used separately. It means when verifying, you can access in or out; at the same time the verification is recorded as
time attendance. For ZKS-T2, time attendance and access control functions can be used separately as well as
integrated as a whole. It satisfies different requirements of various users.
Definition
You can access without checking time attendance or just check time attendance but not to access. For example,
during office hours, users need to access in and out many times, if all the verifications are saved as time attendance
records, the records will be messy and hard to manage, so you can use separated access control function in this
situation.
Setting
G.SET! System! Integ. Acc & Att!, select NO! to separate the two functions.
G.SET! System! Integ. Acc & Att!, select YES! to integrate the two functions.
Note: The default setting is NO!.
Operation
Set NO!:
When access only, press key 0/Access! and a green lock! icon appears on the right top of the screen, then verify.
Door opens but the device doesn"t save any attendance records.
When checking time attendance only, verify directly without pressing any key, the device saves it as attendance
records automatically and the door doesn"t open.
Set Yes!:
To integrate access control and time attendance functions, namely as you verify, the device saves attendance
records and opens the door at the same time.
Verification Record
Detailed records can be checked directly in device or exported in excel format by USB.
View In Device!: LOG/DATA! LOG Check! Check User Log!: to check user"s specific verification time,
status and modes.

Staff takes 3 shifts one after another week by week, namely taking one shift for a week and change to another next
week. It"s valid to check time attendance in any of 3 timetables. To avoid staff changing shifts by themselves, you can
set valid period for signing in. Take shift 08:00-16:00 (the Begin & End check in! time and Begin & End check out!
time are all 30 minutes) for example, you can restrict users in this shift by setting valid period for signing in as
