 Instruction for Use

1 Instruction for Use

Thank you for using our black-and-white (B&W) screen series fingerprint recognition terminal (FRT). Please read this
manual carefully before using this product for a comprehensive understanding so as to avoid causing unnecessary
damages to the product.
Protect the FRT from exposure to direct sunlight or strong beam as strong beam greatly affects the fingerprint collection
and leads to fingerprint verification failure.
Avoid using the FRT outdoors in summer. The working temperature of B&W screen series ranges from 0–40C. The heat
dissipated during long-term operation may easily lead to response slowdown and verification pass rate decrease. It is
recommended to use sunshades and heat sink devices for protection of the FRTs outdoors. We recommend you to use the
FRT properly so as to achieve the optimal recognition effect and verification speed.

1. Install a B&W screen FRT and then enroll your fingerprint for comparison.

Installation Enrollment Recognition

Recognition Installation Enrollment

2. Recommended fingers
Recommended fingers: The index finger, middle finger or the ring finger; the thumb and little finger are not
recommended (because they are usually clumsy on the fingerprint collection screen).

3. Finger Placement
1) Proper finger placement:

The finger is flat to the surface and centered in fingered guide.

2）Improper finger placement:

Not flat to the surface Off-center

Slanting Off-center

 Note:
Please enroll and verify your fingerprint by using the proper finger placement mode to avoid degradation of verification
performance due to improper operations. We reserve all rights for the final interpretation and modification of these rules.

 Basic Concepts

2 Basic Concepts
This section introduces the definitions and descriptions of the following basic concepts:
 User enrollment
 User verification
 Match threshold
 User ID
 Authority class
The most important two functions supported by B&W screen series are user enrollment and verification.

2.1 User Enrollment

A user can enroll up to 10 different fingerprints using one ID number to have multiple verification selections.
Theoretically all the fingers of a user need to be enrolled so that the user can still perform fingerprint matching even if
one or more of his/her fingers get cut or damaged. Generally it is recommended that a user shall enroll at least two
fingerprints, for example, the index fingers of both hands, so that the user can use any of the enrolled fingerprints for
recognition even if he/she forgets which fingerprint has been enrolled.

2.2 User Verification

When a user presses his/her finger on the fingerprint reader, the B&W screen FRT compares the newly scanned
fingerprint with a fingerprint stored in template. The fingerprint template is used to check the user fingerprint. If a user
enrolls his/her fingerprints on an FRT, the user can keep attendance records on this FRT through fingerprint verification
which takes about 2 seconds. Upon verification, the system displays a prompt about whether the verification succeeds
or not and then stores the successful matching record in the B&W screen FRT.

2.3 Match Threshold

The match threshold is set to achieve a trade-off between the possibilities of false rejection and false acceptance. The
false acceptance means the fingerprint recognition device mistakes the fingerprint of user A for that of user B, while the
false rejection means the fingerprint recognition device refuses to recognize an enrolled fingerprint.
You can set a match threshold for all users. For fingerprints that fail to pass the verification, you can adopt the “ID +
Fingerprint” verification mode (that is, 1:1 match) so that the system adopts the data set in 1:1 match threshold when
matching the fingerprints.
If a user’s fingers are severely worn out or damaged, lower the match threshold (see Table 3-1).

 Note: The false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) mutually influence each other. Reducing the
FAR will increase the FRR, and vice-versa. The default match threshold is 35 and the default 1:1 match threshold
is 15. Table 3-1 lists the settings of match thresholds in different scenarios.
Match Threshold
Match threshold
FRR FAR
1:N 1:1
High Low 45 25
Medium Medium 35 15
Low High 25 10

2.4 User ID
When enrolling fingerprints, a user will be allocated with an unused ID. When the user starts to verify his/her identity,
this ID is used to associate the fingerprint feature template.
You can enter the ID through the mini keyboard or other storage means, for example, the RF card (the fingerprint
recognition device must be configured with the RF card reader).

 F6 User Manual

2.5 Authority Classes

The B&W screen series FRTs include four authority classes:
Users: refer to those who are required to verify their identity for a purpose, for example, opening the door through the
B&W screen FRT or keeping their entry/exit records.
Administrators: refer to the users who are granted the right to enroll or delete users.

2.6 Main Interface

The first interface displayed on the screen upon equipment power-on is referred to as the “Initial Interface”, as shown in
the following figure.

 Enrollment and Verification

3 Enrollment and Verification

This chapter introduces how to enroll users on the B&W screen series. Further, it describes how to verify the validity of
enrolled fingerprints.
This chapter includes the following parts:
 Enroll users
 Check enrollment effects
 Enroll spare fingerprints
 Verify identity.
 Prompts for successful enrollment

 Note: To enroll a new user, you must have the authority of administrator. For details, see 2.5Authority Classes
3.1 Enroll User
Everyone can enroll 10 pieces fingerprints on device, including one register fingerprint (e.g. 00098-0) and nine backup
fingerprints (e.g. 00098-1~00098-9).
If no administrator has been enrolled, any user has the right to enroll a new user. If an administrator has already been
enrolled, you can only enroll a new user after passing the administrator verification.
The RFT supports two enrollment modes that types of fingerprint and ID or Mifare card. Fingerprint enrollment mode
applies to the majority of the general public with good quality fingerprints.
If an administrator has already been enrolled, you need to verify the administrator identity by pressing MENU. The
system then prompts you to swipe your finger for administrator verification.

 Note: If no administrator has been enrolled, administrator verification is not required.

-card-capable FRT, please consult our commercial representatives or pre-sale technical support
engineers.

3.2 Check Enrollment Effect

After enrolling a fingerprint, you need to verify its validity by placing your corresponding finger properly on the initial
interface of the FRT. If the FRT recognizes your fingerprint successfully, it proves that your fingerprint is clear and
recognizable; otherwise, you need to re-enroll your fingerprint or change another finger for enrollment. If it still does
not work, it proves that your fingerprints are not suitable for recognition and you need to adopt the fingerprint and
password verification mode.

3.3 Verification Modes

3.3.1 Fingerprint Verification

You can adopt 1:N matching modes for fingerprint identification.

In the 1:N fingerprint matching mode, the FRT compares the current fingerprint collected through the fingerprint reader
with all the fingerprints stored in the FRT.
Operation steps:

If the verification succeeds, the system will generate a voice announcement “Thank you!” after the above interface is
displayed about 0.5 seconds, and then the following interface will be displayed:
If the verification fails, the system will generate a voice announcement “Please try again!” and display the following
interface:
FP Verify

Please Try Again.

After the above interface is displayed 0.5 seconds, the system will return to the initial interface.

3.3.2 Verification Through Card Swiping

If you have your ID card number enrolled in the system, you can pass the verification by swiping your ID card at the
swiping area in a proper way.

3.4 Prompts for Successful Enrollment

A high fingerprint enrollment quality assures quick verification speed, while a poor fingerprint enrollment quality may
easily lead to false rejection and slow verification.
To enhance the quality of enrolled fingerprints, refer to Table 4-1
Common Causes of Enrollment Failure or Poor Fingerprint Quality

Left and right index fingers or middle fingers are recommended.

Select the fingers without worn-out or damaged fingerprints.
Select fingers for Users usually select their index fingers, but if their index fingers do not have high
enrollment fingerprint quality, they can select their middle fingers or ring fingers.
For users with small fingers, they can opt for their thumbs. To enroll spare fingerprints,
users can select fingers not prone to wear-out or damage, for example, the ring fingers.

Press your finger flatly on the fingerprint sensor and be sure that the pad (not the tip) covers

10 FAQs
Question: How do I address the problem that some employees fail to pass the fingerprint verification more often
than not?
Answer: The following factors will make fingerprint verification hard or even impossible for some employees:
. The fingerprints of some fingers wear out.
. The fingers have too many wrinkles which change frequently.
 The skin on the fingers peels off badly.
For users whose fingerprints are beyond recognition, they can delete these fingerprints and enroll them again or enroll a
fingerprint of another finger.
It is recommended to select fingers with good fingerprint quality (few wrinkles, no peeling-off and distinct fingerprint)
for fingerprint enrollment. Press the finger flatly on the fingerprint sensor and be sure that the pad (not the tip) covers as
much of the sensor window as possible. Perform fingerprint match test after finishing enrollment. It is recommended to
enroll the fingerprints of several fingers as backup.
Question: What are the possible causes of FRT communication failure?
Answer: The possible causes are listed as follows:
 The setting of communication port is incorrect. The port set for communication is not the COM port actually used.
 The setting of the communication port baud rate of the PC is not consistent with that of the FRT.

- 22 -
 Appendix

 The FRT is not connected with the power supply or the PC.
 The FRT is connected with the PC but not powered on.
 The No. of the connected terminal is incorrect.
 The data cable or converter is faulty.
 The COM port of the PC is faulty.
Question: What are the possible causes of incomplete display (sometimes half-screen display) or blurred screen
after the FRT is powered on? How to fix it?
Answer: The possible causes are listed as follows:
 The main board is faulty.
 The LCD display is faulty.
In either of the above cases, you need to contact the supplier and return the FRT for repair.
Question: How can I delete a FRT administrator?
Answer: Connect the FRT with a PC and establish communication between them. Select the FRT management tab, and
click Delete Administrator to delete the FRT administrator. You can access the FRT menu after disconnecting the FRT
with the PC.
Question: Why is there a beep sound during the communication between FRT and PC?
Answer:
If the beep sound occurs in RS-485 communication mode, it is possible that the two communication cables of the
converter are inversely connected or stuck together.
Question: Why does the FRT constantly display “Please press (remove) your finger again”? How to fix it?
Answer: The possible causes are as follows:
 There is dirt, grease or scratch on the surface of the fingerprint sensor, which may lead the fingerprint sensor to
mistakenly think there is a finger pressing on the surface. Remove the dirt or grease on the surface of the fingerprint
sensor with an adhesive tape.
 The connection cable of fingerprint sensor comes loose or disconnected.
 The chip of the main board is faulty.
For the last two cases, contact the supplier and return the FRT for maintenance.
Question: Why does a failure or error occurs when I read the attendance data while I can download fingerprint
and password data properly? How to fix it?
Answer: This problem may relate to the data cable, converter or the COM port setting of the PC. You may try
decreasing the baud rate of the PC and FRT, for example, set it to 19200 or 9600 before reading the attendance data
again.

11 Appendix
The functions described in Appendix are all optional. If you need FRTs that support these functions, please consult our
commercial representatives or pre-sales technical support engineers.

11.1 SD Card
SD Card Host
The FRT is used as the SD Card Host to externally connect with a SD Card pen drive for data exchange.
The conventional fingerprint readers transfer data only through the RS232, RS485 or Ethernet. Bulk data transfer may
take a long time due to the restriction of physical conditions. The SD Card far outperforms any other previous transfer
modes in terms of data transfer rate. Insert the SD Card pen drive to the SD Card slot on the FRT, download data to the
USB pen drive, and then connect the SD Card pen drive to a computer to import the data to the computer. For the
operations of the FRT used as the SD Card host, see 5 SD Card Management ★.

11.3 Master-slave function ★

Two devices, a master and a slave, both controlling the same lock, are connected by RS232/RS485/Wiegand.
1. The Applications of the Master and the Slave
1) Record storage:
By default, the master status is exit and the slave status is entry. The records of entry and exit are both saved on the master.
2) Anti-Pass back function:

Whether to perform the anti-pass back function is determined by the latest record of the user's entry and exit. With this
function, the exit record must match the entry record. The function supports "Out", "In", "In Out", "None and save " or
"None". Anti-pass back. By default, the identification status of the master is exit and that of the slave is entry, so if " out
anti-pass back " has been set and when the last record of the user's entry is not "entry", the system will prompt anti-pass
back refusal" and refuse to open the door if the user wants to exit. The logic is the same with "out anti-pass back" and "
in out anti-pass back".
For example, now A wants to exit.
① If the last record for A is not entry, the device will prompt anti-pass back refusal and refuse to open the door.
② If the last record for A is entry, after the fingerprint identification is passed, the device will open the door.
3) Alarm function
If the slave is equipped with alarm function (e.g. F10), when an alarm incident occurs, the slave will forward it for the
master to process. There is no such function on device that is not equipped with alarm function.
2. The Connection of the Master and the Slave
Currently, three modes－RS232, Wiegand and RS485 are applicable for the connection of the master and the slave. Of
the three, RS232 is less often used due to its deficiency that its connection distance is short. For example, it can be used
when the master and the slave are just installed respectively inside and outside a door. Its connection principle is similar
to that of RS485, which is omitted here. The Wiegand connection is widely used, most of whose devices on the market
are applicable to the master and the slave. RS485, whose transmission distance is great (however it is recommended that

- 24 -
 Appendix

the distance should not be over 600 meters), applies to most occasions, but the slave must be equipped with the inBIO
reader (which is used for collecting fingerprint or swiping card).
If Wiegand connection is to be used, the connection and setting for anti-pass back are as follows:
1) Select model:
Master machine: Machine with Wiegand in function, except for F10 Reader.
Slave machine: Machine with Wiegand Out function.
2）Master-slave menu setting:
This machine supports out, in, out-in, No, No and saved anti-pass back (enter Menu -> setting -> system setting ->
advanced setting -> anti-pass back).
3) Modify device’s Wiegand output format:
If the two devices are communicating, only Wiegand signals without device ID can be received. Enter device Menu ->
Comm. Opt -> Wiegand option or enter software: Basic setting -> device management -> Wiegand, to modify “defined
format” as “wiegand26 without device ID”.
4) Enroll user:
The user must be on master machine and slave machine at the same time, and user PIN must be the same. Therefore, it
is necessary to enroll user on master machine and slave machine at the same time.
5) Connection instruction:
Wiegand communication is adopted for master machine and slave machine. Refer to the following for connection:
Master Slave
IND0 <-----> WD0
IND1 <-----> WD1
GND <-----> GND
If RS485 connection is to be used, the connection and setting for anti-pass back are as follows:
The mode of RS485 is a new application in the connection of the master and the slave. In this mode, user information,
fingerprint verification, card verification and authority verification are all processed on the master and the slave is only
used as a collector. Therefore, the software only needs to manage user information and record information on the
master.
1) Choosing devices:
The master: It must have the 485 communication function (upgrade firmware required).
The slave: It must use the inBIO readers (reader only responsible for collecting fingerprint, such as F11 and SR200).
2) Setting the menu on the master:
Setting the master:
①Access Menu>Settings>System Settings>Advanced Settings>Anti-pass back. The setting can be "Out", "In", "In
Out", "None and save " or "None".
②Access Menu>Settings> Access Options>485 reader. If "Yes" is chosen, the master and slave function of 485 mode is
started and at the same time the communication function with PC is forbidden. If "No" is chosen, the machine runs
normally the communication function of PC.
Setting the slave:
Set the device number, identical to the master.
3) Connecting the master and the slave
The master and the slave are for RS485 communication, whose connection is shown as in the figure:
Master Slave
485+ <-----> 485+
485- <-----> 485-
GND <-----> GND
3. The Use of the Master and the Slave

- 25 -
 F6 User Manual

After the devices are started, the master works the same as common access control. The slave cannot verify. When a
fingerprint is pressed or a card is swiped on the slave, the indicator will blink and "click, click" will sound to prompt
and the verification result will be displayed on the master.

11.4 Wiegand Protocol

Wiegand26 is an access control standard protocol established by the Access Control Standard Subcommittee affiliated
to the Security Industry Association (SIA). It is a non-contact IC card reader interface and output protocol.
Wiegand26 defines the interface between the card reader and controller used in the access control, security and other
related industrial fields. Wiegand26 helps standardize the work of the card reader designers and controller
manufacturers. The FRT is also designed in compliance with Wiegand26.
Digital Signals
Figure 1 is a sequence diagram in which the card reader sends digital signals in bit format to the access controller. In
this sequence diagram, Wiegand follows the SIA’s access control standard protocol for the 26-bit Wiegand card reader
(one pulse time ranges between 20us and 100us, and the pulse jump time ranges between 200us and 20ms). Data1 and
Data0 are high level (larger than Voh) signals till the card reader prepares to send a data stream. The asynchronous
low-level pulse (smaller than Vol) generated by the card reader is sent to the access control panel (The saw-tooth wave
as shown in Figure 1) through Data1 or Data0. Data1 and Data0 pulses will neither overlap nor be generated
synchronously. Table 1 lists the maximum and minimum pulse widths (a consecutive pulse) and pulse jump time (time
between pulses) allowed by the F series fingerprint access control terminal.
Table 1 Pulse Time

Symbol Definition Typical Value of Reader

Tpw Pulse Width 100 µs

Wiegand Format
The Wiegand format adopted by the FRT is the universal access control protocol.
26-Bit Wiegand Format
The composition of the open de facto 26 Bit Weigand industry standard contains 8 bits for the facility code and 16 bits
for the ID number field. Mathematically, these 8 facility codes allows for a total of just 256 (0 to 255) facility codes,
while the 16 ID number bits allow for a total of only 65,536 (0 to 65,536) individual ID's within each facility code.
26-Bit Wiegand format is of 26 bits in length, including 2 bits for parity bits.

The value of Odd Parity bit is determined by 14–26 bit. OP is 1 if the number of
OP
“1” is even; otherwise, OP is 0.

Pyramid Wiegand format

Several alternatives exist for customers who require more codes. The first is to switch to Keri’s standard 39 bit Pyramid
format. This 39 bit Wiegand format contains 17 bits for the facility code field and 20 bits for the ID number field.
Mathematically these 17 facility code bits allow for a total of 131,072 (0 to 131,071) facility codes, while the 20 ID
number bits allow for a total of 1,048,576 (0 to 1,048,575) individual ID’s within each facility code. Since there are so
many facility codes in the Pyramid format, a new facility code may be selected for each project. Additionally the large
number of ID’s per facility code makes the Pyramid format ideal for very large projects. For added security, Keri
Systems tracks credential coding to ensure that no duplication occurs. Table 3 provides a summary of the Pyramid
Wiegand format.
Table 3 Pyramid Wiegand Format

Bit Number Meaning

Bit 1 Even parity over bits 2 to 9
Bits 2 to 18 Facility code (0 to 131,071); Bit 2 is MSB
Bits 19 to 38 ID Number (0 to 1,048,575); Bit 19 is MSB
Bit 39 Odd parity over bits 20 to 38
Custom Wiegand Formats
The second alternative is to create a custom Wiegand format. Typically, up to 64 bits are available for creating a custom
Wiegand format. With certain limitations, formats with greater than 64 bits may be created. If a customer currently has a
custom Wiegand format from Wiegand or from other proximity manufacturers, Keri can normally match that format.
Although the customer is primarily responsible for custom format card coding, as an added benefit Keri Systems tracks
card coding for additional security. Table 4 provides an example of one possible custom Wiegand format.

Bit Number Purpose

Bit 1 Even parity over bits 2 to 22
Bits 2 to 9 OEM code (0 to 255); Bit 2 is MSB
Bits 10 to 21 Facility code (0 to 4,096); Bit 10 is MSB
Bits 22 to 43 ID Number (0 to 524,287); Bit 22 is MSB
Bit 44 Even parity over bits 23 to 43
