direct connection with included USB
cable to host PC, or Ethernet cable for
network connection. Plug the in the AC
adapter to the FPT-40 and AC outlet and
the FPT-40 terminal will power up.
All employees must be enrolled at the FPT-40 terminal
with fingerprint and/or PIN password for identification
and validation. This employee information will be
synchronized with Time Guardian by performing polling
and downloading commands from the Time Guardian
software. This action is necessary to save the biometric
fingerprint templates for newly enrolled employees in
the Time & Attendance database while sending time,
Daylight Saving Time settings, hours worked for the
current payperiod, and employee assignments to the
FPT-40 terminal.
Step 2 – Install the Time Guardian
Software on the host PC. The
installation should start automatically,
but if it stalls, browse on CD to
Disk1\InstData\Windows\VM\install.exe

Chapter 1: FPT-40 Installation
Introduction
The FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal provides a sophisticated fingerprint
recognition and data collection terminal for use directly with the Amano
Time & Attendance software to provide a complete PC-based time and
attendance solution for small business. Fingerprint recognition is
considered to be one of the good forms of biometric security because of
its accuracy, affordability, and ease-of-use.
The FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal with Amano Time & Attendance
software provides a system that automatically calculates and
accumulates hours worked based on a company's payroll policies. This
system separates the hours worked into regular and overtime pay
categories and displays them at the terminal (see Normal Punch IN/OUT
Display on page 1-10).
The Amano Time & Attendance software also offers many sophisticated
features to simplify payroll preparation, such as: Lock Out, Revision, Red
Print with Grace Zones, Flexible Rounding Rules, Unpaid and Paid
Breaks, and Time Card Reports, to name a few. In addition, easy-to-read
management reports are available in hours or dollars to provide accurate
and timely labor information.
See Chapter 3 for details on setting up the Amano Time & Attendance
software on the host PC to communicate with the Fingerprint terminal.
In order to use fingerprint recognition, a user must enroll their fingerprint
in the fingerprint template database. The FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal will
record the user’s fingerprint template, encrypt it, and store the data.
When a user presents their finger for verification, a new template is
captured and compared to the pre-enrolled fingerprint in the database. If
there is a match, the user will be accepted by the FPT-40 Fingerprint
terminal.
One of the main benefits of this system is that it eliminates fraudulent
punches (“Buddy Punching”), while providing a comprehensive and
secure method when coupled with the Time & Attendance software to
accurately account for employee labor costs.
The FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal also provides re-punch protection at the
terminal when the "ReCheck Min” feature is set. Multiple punches within
the setting time frame will be verified but not recorded at the terminal in
flash memory (see Log Options Menu).

Wall Mounting
Warning! Before selecting a mounting location for your FPT-40
Fingerprint terminal, you must consider the following:
The mounting surface and hardware must be able to support the
unit’s weight, 1.35 lbs. (0.61 kg).
The area must be within the specified operating temperature &
humidity range (see Specifications on page 4-11)).
The FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal should be mounted in an
environment that avoids the conditions pictured in the following figure:
Close proximity to a wall outlet ( 6 ft), and a wall that can
accommodate signal and/or power conduits.
If using Ethernet, close proximity to an Ethernet connection (
6 ft).
Amano recommends the following wall mounting procedure:
1. Loosen and remove the four (4) back plate retaining screws to
remove the back plate as shown (see Figure 1-2). Set the FPT-40
terminal face up on a flat surface.

2. Using the back plate as a template, mark the location of the upper
mounting holes on the wall. Mark a vertical line on the wall as a guide
to align the lower mounting holes.
Note: Pay attention to the orientation. The back plate should only be
mounted one-way as it is keyed to fit into the back of the
fingerprint reader.
3. Install a screw or anchor at the mark and hang the back plate from the
top-mounting holes. Level the back plate by centering the vertical line
in the bottom holes.
4. Mark the location of the bottom holes.
5. Install the screws or anchors for the bottom-mounting holes and
secure the back plate to the wall.
6. Insert the back of the fingerprint reader onto the four (4) retaining
tabs. The tabs are keyed to accept the fingerprint reader only one
way! Secure the reader to the tabs by inserting and tightening the 4
retaining screws.
7. Your fingerprint reader is now mounted to the wall and ready to
connect the data and power lines. After wall mounting, remove the
dustproof film on the sensor window. Proceed to the next section,
Communication Connections.

Enrolling Users at the FPT-40 Terminal
After installing the FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal and powering on, you
may begin enrolling users. If this is the first enrollment in a new or empty
system, everyone will be able to enroll. However, if there are any users
with privileges already setup in the system, you will have to be enrolled
by a user with privileges. The FPT-40 fingerprint reader provides the
following three methods for enrollment; fingerprint, password, or
fingerprint and password [in this instance the 1
accepted is used].

Introduction
User Identification/Verification
This is the process of comparing a user's finger against the stored map,
and/or verifying a user from a stored password number (5 digit max).
After performing the verification process the system will indicate success
or failure while also storing all verified punches for transfer to the Time &
Attendnace software.
Threshold
The threshold is a predefined number, often controlled by the
administrator, which establishes the degree of correlation necessary for
a sucessful match. If the score from the template comparison exceeds
the threshold, the templates are considered a match. The threshold
establishes a balance between False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False
Rejection Rate (FRR). FAR indicates the probability that a biometric
system will incorrectly identify an individual or will fail to reject an
imposter.
operations.
You can set the threshold for all users. For a user who has a difficult
fingerprint verification, it is recommended to use ID & fingerprint
verification (match one-to-one). Raising the threshold increases security,
while lowering it increases the passing ratio. The correct balance can be
vital. For example, a user whose finger is worn or injured should have a
reduced threshold.
The FAR and FRR values affect each other. As FAR is increased, FRR
should be decreased. The default one-to-many threshold is 35, while the
1:1 matching default threshold is 15 (see the following table).
Table 2-1 Recommended Threshold Level Settings
FRR FAR One-to-Many One-to-One
High Low 45 25
Middle Middle 35 15
Low High 25 10
FPT-40 Installation & Operation Guide Page 2-5
Priviledge (Status) Levels
The status levels define the ability of a user to perform specified
administrator and other tasks including the ability to view, edit, add, and
renew specified information categories. Four status levels can be
assigned at the FPT-40 terminal or from the Time & Attendance
software, and modified as required. These four (4) levels (see Defining
Privileges with Enrolling Admin Option on page 2-28) are:
User
Enroller
Supervisor
Administrator
– person whose identity must be verified to punch and have
their attendance recorded in the Time & Attendance software.
Cannot perform any enroller, supervisor, and administrator functions.
– person who is authorized to enroll users or delete them
from the FPT-40 Fingerprint terminal.
– person who can perform all operations, except set
advanced options and enroll a user with Admin priviledges.
– person who has access to all functions, including
system setup. (see procedure for clearing).
Proper Finger Placement
Make sure the fingerprint image captured contains the core part of
desired finger, because a fingerprint is the impression of the friction
ridges of all or any part of the finger. Also when enrolling a finger, use a
slightly adjusted angle for each finger press, i.e, one to the center, one
inclined slightly to the left, and a third inclined slightly to the right. If these
techniques are followed; the success rate should increase dramatically.
The correct way to place a finger on the sensor is:
Place the finger flat on the center of the sensor surface
(see figure for front and side view).
Page 2-6 FPT-40 Installation & Operation Guide
The wrong ways to place a finger on the sensor are:
The following hints are provided as suggestions to help obtain a good
fingerprint enrollment.
Table 2-2 Fingerprint Enrollment Hints
Problem Suggested Solution
Fingerprint is too dry or dirty. Wipe finger, and/or moisten.
Not enough pressure.
How to select finger?
Finger placement?
Finger pattern change?
Other reasons
Place finger firmly and flat on the
sensor.
Use the finger alongside your thumb.
Select fingers that are not worn or
injured. If the fingers are small, use the
thumb.
Place at least 2/3 of the finger firmly on
the sensor. Do not touch the finger too
fast and do not move the finger on the
sensor until prompted.
Re-enroll your finger if your fingerprint
changes as a result of an injury, etc.
Use password registration as an
alternative for people with poor quality
fingerprints. Also, the threshold setting
can be reduced.
FPT-40 Installation & Operation Guide Page 2-7
Enrollment is the procedure to associate a User ID with a fingerprint by
scanning a user's finger three (3) times to create a template (see figure).
Figure 2-8 Finger Template Creation
Note: Enrolling more than two (2) fingers per user might adversely
effect the amount of user templates that can be stored in the
fingerprint reader.
How to Enroll a User with a Fingerprint
The following procedure details how to enroll a new user with a
fingerprint template. It is suggested to enroll 2 fingers so the employee
has a backup finger when needed, i.e., bandaid or finger injury.
