Mounting the reader on the Wall

Fix back plate to the wall using wall mounting screws
We recommend drilling the mounting plate screws

into solid wood (i.e. stud/beam). If a stud/beam
cannot be found, then use the supplied drywall
plastic mollies (anchors).

Important Notes:
1. RS485 communication wires should be a shielded and twisted pair cable.
2. RS485 communication wires should be connected in a bus cascade instead
of a star form, to achieve a better shielding effect by reducing signal reflec-
tion during communications.
3. Adjust the communication speed as needed. The signal quality vary depend-
ing on wiring conditions, and it maybe necessary to lower the baudrates.
4. The GND Signal may be omitted if and only if the GND potential difference
is less than ±5V

RS485 address, switch 5 is reserved, switch 6 is for reducing noise on long
RS485 cable.
2. If FR1200 is powered from F18 terminal ,the length of wire should be less than
100 meters or 330 ft.
3. If the cable length is more than 200 meters or 600 ft., the number 6 switch
should be ON as below

How to Place a Finger on Scanner

ZKTeco’s fingerprint readers will give optimal results for fingerprint matching
if the following recommendations and suggestions are followed.
Select a finger to enroll

• It is recommended to use an index finger or
a middle finger.
• Thumb, ring or little finger are relatively
difficult to place in the correct position
How to place a finger on a sensor

• Place a finger such that it completely covers
the sensor area with maximum contact.
• Place core of the fingerprint at the center of
the sensor. The core of a fingerprint is a center
where the spiral of ridges is dense. (Usually core
of fingerprint is the opposite side of the lower part
of a nail.)
• Place a finger such that the bottom end of a
nail is located at the center of a sensor.

25
DO NOT place the finger in the following positions

I f a finger is placed
as shown on the left,
only a small area of
a finger is captured.
So it is recommended
to place a finger as
shown on page 24.
Upright Skewed
Sideways Partial
Tips for different fingerprint conditions

• ZKTeco’s fingerprint products are designed to verify fingerprints with highest
security irrespective of the conditions of the skin of the finger. However, in case
a fingerprint is not read on the sensor, please refer to the followings tips.
ūū If a finger is stained with sweat or water, scan after wiping moisture off.
ūū If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, scan after wiping them off.
ūū If a finger is way too dry, please blow some warm air from your mouth on the
finger tip.
Tips for fingerprint enrollment
• In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important. When enrolling
a fingerprint, please try to place the finger correctly with utmost care.
• In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are recommended.
ūū Delete the enrolled fingerprint and re-enroll the finger.
ūū Try another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due to scar or cuts.
• In case of an enrolled fingerprint cannot be used due to injury or if the hand is
full, it is recommended to enroll more than two fingers per user.

26
Troubleshooting
1. Fingerprint can not be read or it takes too long.
›› Check whether a finger or fingerprint sensor is stained with sweat, water, or dust
›› Retry after wiping off finger and fingerprint sensor with dry paper tissue or a mildly
wet cloth.
›› If a fingerprint is way too dry, blow on the finger and retry.
2. Fingerprint is verified but authorization keeps failing.
›› Check whether the user is restricted by group or time zone.
›› Check with administrator whether the enrolled fingerprint has been deleted from the
device for some reason.
3. Authorized but door does not open.
›› Check whether the lock open duration is set to appropriate time, which opens the lock.
›› Check whether anti-passback mode is in use. In anti-passback mode, only the person
who has entered through that door can exit.
4. Why device display “system broken“ and the alarm is ringing.
›› Check whether the device and back plate are securely connected to each other. If not,
a tamper switch is activated which triggers the alarm and keeps it ringing.
5. How to set F18 used as fingerprint reader on inBio access controller.
›› Reeference the Wiegand Output Connection on page 20.
›› Enroll personnel’s PIN in inBio panel as a card
