3. Setup

3.1 Mounting the Device

1. Select a suitable, flat surface for mounting, ensuring it is free from excessive moisture or direct sunlight.
2. Use the provided mounting template (if applicable) to mark drilling points for screws.
3. Drill pilot holes and secure the mounting bracket (if separate) or the device directly to the surface using appropriate screws.
4. Ensure the device is firmly attached and stable.

3.2 Wiring and Power Connection

Connect the power supply and any necessary control wiring according to the wiring diagram provided with your product packaging. Typically, this involves a low-voltage DC power input and connections for door strike/lock, exit button, and alarm (if supported). Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

3.3 Initial Power-Up

Once all wiring is complete, apply power to the device. The LED indicator should illuminate, typically blue, indicating the device is powered on and ready for initial configuration.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Administrator Enrollment

Before enrolling regular users, an administrator fingerprint must be registered. Refer to the specific programming guide for your device, but generally, this involves:

1. Entering programming mode (often by pressing and holding the admin button or entering a default code).
2. Selecting the 'Add Admin' option.
3. Placing the chosen administrator's finger on the scanner multiple times as prompted until enrollment is successful.

4.2 User Fingerprint Enrollment

Once an administrator is set up, they can enroll regular users:

1. Enter programming mode using the administrator fingerprint.
2. Select the 'Add User' option.
3. Instruct the user to place their finger on the scanner multiple times until the device confirms successful enrollment.
4. Exit programming mode.

4.3 Granting Access

To gain access, a registered user simply places their enrolled finger on the fingerprint scanner. If the fingerprint is recognized, the device will activate the connected door lock/strike, granting access. The LED indicator may change color (e.g., from blue to green) to confirm successful verification.

4.4 Deleting Users

To remove a user's access:

1. Enter programming mode using the administrator fingerprint.
2. Select the 'Delete User' option.
3. Follow the prompts to delete a specific user's fingerprint or all user fingerprints.
4. Exit programming mode.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the fingerprint scanner surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the sensor. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.

5.2 Environmental Considerations

The BIOSYS1 is designed for indoor use. Protect the device from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and high humidity. Ensure proper ventilation if installed in an enclosed space.

6. Troubleshooting

• Device not powering on: Check power supply connections and ensure the power source is active. Verify wiring integrity.
• Fingerprint not recognized:
  • Ensure the finger is clean and dry.
  • Place the entire pad of the finger firmly on the scanner.
  • Try re-enrolling the fingerprint if recognition issues persist.
  • Ensure the user's fingerprint is actually enrolled in the system.
• Door not unlocking:
  • Verify that the fingerprint is recognized (check LED indicator).
  • Check wiring to the door lock/strike.
  • Ensure the lock mechanism is functioning correctly.
• Cannot enter programming mode: Ensure you are using an enrolled administrator fingerprint or the correct administrative procedure.
