Chapter One: Introduction
Thank you for your recent purchase of the TQ100, a data collection
terminal for timeQplus BIOMETRIC™ time and attendance system. This user
manual provides specific information that will help you better understand the
functionality of the terminal (TQ100). Some key areas that are important to
the terminal’s (TQ100) performance are the operating environment, the
system overview, communication options and enrollment.
1.1 Operating Environment
Please read the manual carefully before using the product. The terminal
operates most efficiently by following these recommendations:
1. DO NOT expose the TQ100 to direct sun light. Direct sunlight may
impact the fingerprint reader optics and affect enrollment, quality
of the templates, and performance of the fingerprint recognition process.
2. TQ100 operating temperature is 39F-110F. Do not operate the terminal
outdoors. High temperature and humidity may affect its performance.
1.2 System Description
The timeQplus BIOMETRIC™ time and attendance system consists
of two parts:
1. Fingerprint terminal TQ100
2. AttendanceRx, the time and attendance management software that
runs on the PC.
The TQ100 terminal’s main function is to register employees’ fingerprints
and record daily time and attendance. The PC software is used to manage
the TQ100 and process employee information using a set of attendance
rules defined by the Administrator. The PC software interacts with the
terminal TQ100, calculates time, and generates reports. The time and
attendance PC software application compatible with the TQ100 is called
AttendanceRx.
Three communication options are available between the TQ100 terminal and
the PC software: serial (RS232) and network (RS485, Ethernet).

Chapter Five: Fingerprint Registration/Enrollment
When the TQ100 terminal and AttendanceRx software installation is complete,
fingerprints will first be enrolled and then validated.
For a network installation with multiple terminals a user’s enrollment is only
needed on one terminal. Any timeQplus administrator can enable the enrolled
user to use any terminal in the network.
5.1 Enrollment Method
Correct enrollment method:
One or multiple fingerprints can be enrolled for every employee.
It is recommended to use the index finger and/or middle finger for enrollment.
Position your finger in the middle of the sensor. Apply light pressure.
Tips for improving the quality of fingerprint read:
Dirty or Dry Finger Clean your finger with a moisturized soap;
Wipe your finger with a pre- moisturized tissue
(alcohol-free wipes, preferably enriched to
hydrate the skin)
How to choose your finger Use the index or middle finger to enroll; try left
hand fingers if the right hand (index or middle
finger) fingerprints are faded, worn or missing.
Incorrect positioning Place your finger in the middle on the sensor;
keep you finger flat on the sensor and apply
pressure trying to cover as much of the sensor
window as possible; DO NOT touch the sensor
in an angled or tilted position, DO NOT slide
your finger.
Fingerprint image changes Re-enroll your finger if your fingerprint changes
as a result of an injury, etc.
Fingerprint difficult to read Use one (1:1) identification method. Key in
your PIN number and place your finger on
the sensor.
Other reasons Use password registration as backup for people
with hard to read fingerprints.
The correct finger positioning method is illustrated below,
front and side view.

The Sensitivity Level Setting is a balanced value of FAR (False Accept Rate)
and FRR (False Reject Rate). FAR indicates that the machine accepts the
fingerprint of user A as the identity of user B; while FRR means that the
machine rejects a fingerprint that has been enrolled. Global setting value
is based on the sensitivity level value of all the users while User setting
value is based on the sensitivity level value of each individual.
In general use, Global setting value based on all users can be set (default
value is 1). For individuals who are difficult to pass validation, the password
registration method can be used.
If the fingerprint of a certain user is faint or hard to read, the User setting
value can be reduced to improve the validation pass rate by selecting the
highlighted option above and changing the default value.

Chapter Eight: Appendix
Two types of interfaces are available in the terminal: 9-pin RS232 interface
(for direct RS232 serial communication) and an RJ45 interface (for RS485
and TCP/IP over Ethernet communications).
8.1 RS232 Interface
The RS232 interface (refer to page 10 figure 4.1) provides RS232
communication, Lock and Wiegand entrance guide function with 9 pins
in total. Definitions of each pin are listed in the following table:
PIN Definition
1 Reserved
2 RS232 TX
3 RS232 RX
4 LOCK Data 1
5 GND
6 Reserved
7 Data ()
8 Reserved
9 Reserved
Note: For door access and/or access control applications: connect with
the pins four and five when using the simple entrance guard;
white connect pins four five and seven when adopting Wiegand output.
A typical RS232 connections diagram looks like the figure below:

8.2 RJ45 Interface
The RJ45 interface provides RS485 and Ethernet communication.
The wiring diagram of the supplied RJ45 connection cable is as follows:
PIN Definition
1 TCP_TX+
2 TCP_TX3 TCP_RX+
4
5
6 TCP_RX7 RS485A
8 RS485B
RS485 Connection
For the RS485 communication, TQ100 only uses two wires in the cable,
the Brown (8) and the Brown/White (7).
The RS485 communication setup requires the following steps:
1. Take the CAT5 Ethernet cable supplied in the box and cut one end,
exposing the wires.
2. Attach an RJ11 connector to the bare end of the cable; looking at the RJ11
connector (see the RS485 wiring diagram below) the Brown wire goes to
the leftmost pin. The Brown/White wire goes to the rightmost pin of the
RJ11 connector.
3. Connect the cable above one end at the RJ45 Interface of terminal and the
RJ11 connector to a Junction Box; the Black wire in the Junction Box should
go to the Brown (8) wire in the CAT5 cable, and the Yellow wire in the
Junction Box should go to the Brown/White (7) wire.
4. Connect the last Junction Box to a RS485/RS232 converter using a standard
phone cable.
5. Connect the RS232 interface to the PC.
