Key Features
- Three Authentication Methods: Fingerprint sensor, 13.56 MHz IC card, and smartphone NFC — all in one module.
- Wide Voltage Compatibility: Operates on DC 12V–24V for flexible installation across a range of systems.
-
Three Switchable Control Modes:
- Inching (Jog) Mode: Activates on fingerprint recognition; auto-deactivates after a set delay (adjustable up to 15 minutes) once the finger is lifted.
- Self-Locking Mode: Toggles on with first fingerprint scan; toggles off with a second scan — ideal for persistent access control.
- Ignition Mode: Stays active only while the fingerprint contact is maintained; disconnects immediately upon release.
- Adjustable Output Timer: In Jog mode, output duration can be fine-tuned — up to 15 minutes.
- Relay Normally Open & Normally Closed Outputs: Maximum wiring flexibility for virtually any circuit configuration.
- NFC / IC Card Sensing Distance: ≥25mm for quick, convenient tap-to-unlock operation.
- Exit Button Support: Compatible with a physical exit button for two-way access management.
- Pre-Configured Cards: Management card and user cards are factory-configured — ready to use straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the SARY SY160D NFC fingerprint relay module come ready to use out of the box?
A: Yes! The management card and user cards are pre-configured at the factory, so you can begin using the module immediately after installation. No additional card programming is required.
Q: Can I use any smartphone with NFC to control this relay module?
A: Your smartphone must have built-in NFC hardware enabled. You will also need to add a supported access card or credit card to your phone's mobile wallet (e.g., Apple Wallet or Google Wallet). NFC apps downloaded separately from app stores are not compatible with this module's access control function.
Q: Is a fingerprint reader included with the SARY SY160D access controller?
A: No, a fingerprint reader is sold separately. The module is designed to integrate with compatible external fingerprint sensors, which can be selected based on your specific application and installation requirements.
Q: What are the differences between the three control modes on this relay module?
A: The Inching/Jog mode activates the relay briefly and auto-shuts after a user-defined delay (up to 15 minutes) — great for door strikes. The Self-Locking mode toggles the relay on and off with successive scans — ideal for persistent power control. The Ignition mode keeps the relay active only while physical contact with the fingerprint sensor is maintained — perfect for vehicle ignition-style applications.
Q: What voltage does the SY160D access control board require?
A: The module supports a wide input voltage range of DC 12V to 24V, making it compatible with most standard access control power supplies and automotive electrical systems.
