Basics of Fingerprint Recognition

What is Fingerprint Recognition?

• Fingerprint is an individual's unique biometric information that does not change throughout life.
• Fingerprint recognition is a technology that verifies or identifies an individual using this information.
• It is free from the risk of theft or loss, making it widely used in security systems as a replacement for PINs or cards.

Process of Fingerprint Recognition

• A fingerprint consists of ridges and valleys. A ridge is a raised line of skin, and a valley is a hollow between ridges. Each individual has a unique pattern of ridges and valleys, which fingerprint recognition utilizes for originality and uniqueness.
• Fingerprint sensors generate 2-dimensional fingerprint images using various technologies, classified as optical, capacitive, or thermal.
• A fingerprint template is a collection of numeric data representing the features of a fingerprint, saved in the device's memory for identification.

Secure Way to Protect Personal Information

• Suprema's fingerprint products do not save raw fingerprint images. It is impossible to reconstruct a fingerprint image from a fingerprint template, as it only contains numeric data of the fingerprint's features.

How to Place a Finger

Suprema's fingerprint products offer excellent recognition performance regardless of skin condition or finger positioning. The following tips are recommended for optimal performance:

Select a Finger to Enroll

• It is recommended to use an index finger or a middle finger.
• Thumb, ring, or little fingers are generally more difficult to position correctly.

How to Place a Finger on a Sensor

• Place a finger to completely cover the sensor area with maximum contact.
• Align the core part of the fingerprint with the center of the sensor.
• People often tend to place the upper part of their finger. The core of a fingerprint is where the spiral of ridges is densest, typically opposite the lower part of the nail.
• Ensure the bottom end of the nail is located at the center of the sensor for optimal capture.
• The image on the right shows suboptimal placement, capturing only a small area. The image on the left illustrates the recommended placement for better capture.

Tips for Different Fingerprint Conditions

• Suprema's products are designed to scan smoothly under various finger skin conditions. If a fingerprint is not read well, refer to these tips:
• If a finger is stained with sweat or water, wipe it dry before scanning.
• If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, wipe it off before scanning.
• If a finger is too dry, gently blow warm air onto the fingertip before scanning.

Tips for Fingerprint Enrollment

• The enrollment process is crucial for accurate fingerprint recognition. Place the finger correctly and with care.
• In cases of low acceptance ratio, consider these actions:
• Delete the enrolled fingerprint and re-enroll the finger.
• Enroll the same fingerprint additionally.
• Try a different finger if the current one is difficult to enroll due to scars or wear.
• For users who may have injuries or difficulties using a particular finger, enrolling more than two fingers per user is recommended.

Installation of Wall-mount Bracket

1. Fix the wall mount bracket onto a wall using the provided wall mounting screws.
2. Hook the BioEntry Plus unit onto the wall mount bracket.
3. Secure the BioEntry Plus unit and the wall mounting bracket together using a star-shaped screw with the star-shaped wrench.

Power Connection

Connect the device to a DC power supply (12V ± 10%, minimum 1500mA). The diagram shows the connection to a power supply and the RS-485 interface. Ensure that the Secure I/O, the electrical locking device, and this product use independent power sources.

Ethernet Connection

The BioEntry Plus can be connected to a network via Ethernet. The diagram illustrates connecting the device to a HUB. For a direct connection to a PC, use a straight CAT-5 cable. The BioEntry Plus supports auto MDI/MDIX, so a crossover cable is not required.

RS485 Connection for Host Communication

This section details the connection of the BioEntry Plus to a PC via an RS232-485 converter for host communication. The diagram shows the wiring and the use of a DIP switch (SW1) for enabling termination. Important notes include:

• Only devices at both ends of the bus should be terminated. Refer to the converter's manual for enabling termination.
• Adjust communication speed as needed; signal quality may vary with wiring conditions, potentially requiring lower baudrates.
• The GND signal may be omitted if the GND potential difference is less than ±5V.

The diagram also shows the DIP switch settings for enabling and disabling termination.

RS485 Connection for Secure I/O

This illustrates connecting multiple BioEntry Plus units (Master) and Secure I/Os (Slave) via RS485. The diagram shows the wiring for master and slave devices, including termination notes. The maximum number of devices in an RS485 loop is two (BioStation or BioEntry Plus) and four (Secure I/Os).

Relay Connection

Fail Safe Lock

This diagram shows the relay connection for a fail-safe lock. The BioEntry Plus connects to the deadbolt/door strike and a DC power supply. The connections are typically to pins (7) Normally Open (White), (6) Common (Blue), and (5) Normally Closed (Orange).

• N.O. (Normally Open): A control signal closes the circuit.
• N.C. (Normally Closed): A control signal opens the circuit.
• Ensure correct diode direction and install it near the door lock.
• Use separate power supplies for the BioEntry Plus and the door lock.
• Install diodes at both ends of the circuit to protect the relay contact from reverse current when the door lock operates.

Fail Secure Lock

This diagram shows the relay connection for a fail-secure lock, similar to the fail-safe setup but with reversed operational logic for N.O./N.C. terminals.

• Normally Open/N.O: Electricity does not flow when no control signal is received; it flows when control signals are received.
• Normally Close/N.C: Electricity continues flowing when no control signal is received; it stops flowing when control signals are received.
• Follow the same precautions regarding diode direction, placement, separate power supplies, and diode installation as for the fail-safe lock.

Automatic Door

This diagram illustrates the relay connection for an automatic door system, showing connections to the Door Controller, RTE Switch, and Presence Detector.

Digital Input Connection

RTE, Door Sensor

Wiegand Input

This diagram shows the Wiegand input connection from an RFID reader to the BioEntry Plus. Connections are made for GND, Wiegand Input Data 1, and Wiegand Input Data 0.

Wiegand Output

This diagram shows the Wiegand output connection from the BioEntry Plus to a controller. Connections are made for GND, Wiegand Out 1, and Wiegand In 0.

Network Default Setting

If network settings (TCP/IP or RS-485) are forgotten, they can be initialized using the DIP switch on the back panel of the BioEntry Plus. Follow these steps:

1. Turn off the BioEntry Plus power.
2. Set DIP SW #2 to the "ON" position (refer to Fig.1).
3. Turn on the BioEntry Plus power. The user can now modify TCP/IP or RS-485 settings as desired. The network default settings are:
   • TCP/IP Address: 192.168.0.1
   • "Use Server" option is not checked.
   • RS-485: PC Connection, 115200bps
4. Modify and save the TCP/IP or RS-485 settings.
5. Set DIP SW #2 to the "OFF" position (refer to Fig.2).
6. Cycle the BioEntry Plus power to apply the modified settings.

Diagrams for DIP switch settings (Fig.1 and Fig.2) are illustrative of switch positions.

Troubleshooting

• Fingerprint cannot be read well or takes too long:
  • Check if the finger or fingerprint sensor is stained with sweat, water, or dust.
  • Retry after wiping the finger and sensor with a dry towel.
  • If the fingerprint is too dry, blow on the finger and retry.
• Fingerprint is entered but authorization keeps failing:
  • Check if the user is restricted by door zone or time zone.
  • Inquire with the administrator if the enrolled fingerprint has been deleted from the device for any reason.
• Authorized but door is not opened:
  • Check if the current time is set as a lock time.
  • Check if an antipassback mode is in use. In antipassback mode, only users who have entered can exit.
• Device does not operate though power is connected:
  • Check if the device and bracket are securely connected. If not, a tamper switch may be activated, preventing the device from working.

Device Cleaning

• Wipe the machine surface with a dry towel or cloth.
• If there is dust or impurities on the sensor, wipe the surface with a dry towel.
• Note: Cleaning the sensor with detergent, benzene, or thinner can damage the surface and prevent fingerprint entry.
