For Class B Unintentional Radiators:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

The Veri-Series Product Line

The Veri-Series fingerprint readers are used in access control and other related fields. There are a variety of features common to the various products, but there are differences as well, as described below. For more on the operational differences between the products please see Basic Operation on page 30.

Common Features

The various produ cts in the Veri-Series line have some features in common such as both RS-232 and RS-485 serial communications protocol support for connection to a PC, Wiegand input and output protocol support for connection to access control equipment, a wide power input range (9-24 Volts DC) except for the V-Smart (9-12 Volts DC) and V-Station (12.5-24 Volts DC), and a requirement for earth ground connection to dissipate static electricity (ESD).

Product Specific Differences

V-Prox™: The V-Prox has a built-in HID proximity card reader that negates the need for external Wiegand input, and provides one-to-one fingerprint authentication. The V-Prox is capable of storing up to 4000 fingerprint templates (a “template” is a mathematical model of the fingerprint that is generated during enrollment). The device can be mounted on door Mullion or single-gang electrical box.

™

V-Flex V-Prox described above except that there is no built-in HID proximity card reader. Therefore the V-Flex requires an external Wiegand input signal. The V-Flex is designed for

: The V-Flex has all the capabilities and features of the

Veri-Series Setup Guide

retrofit applications and for applications where a card technology other than HID is desired.

™

V-Pass

: The V-Pass provides one-to-many fingerprint identification for small user populations (the system is optimized for user populations up to 100, but can be used for populations up to 200). The V-Pass provides fingerprint only identification – no cards or PINs are required to use the system. The V-Pass is also small enough to be mounted on a door mullion or a single-gang electrical box.

V-Smart

™

: The V-Smart supports one-to-one fingerprint authentication by means of an industry standard MIFARE®compatible or iCLASS™ contactless smart card reader. The fingerprint template is stored on the smart card, not on the reader, so the user population is unlimited – simply issue a smart card to each employee.

V-Station™: The newest addition to the Veri-Series product line, the V-Station contains a backlit LCD display and keypad, enabling template management and unit configuration directly from the unit; a PC is not required. Variations of this product are offered with an HID proximity card reader, a Smartcard reader (MIFARE or iCLASS), or as a searching unit. Also, this is the first product to offer Ethernet support. It is probably the most versatile product in the Veri-Series.

The power input on V-Smart is 9-12 VDC and 12.5-24VDC on V-Station

instead of 9-24 VDC on the other products.

**

RS-485 communication is typically used for template distribution to

multiple units.

***

Wiegand output is typically used to send the user information (ID number and facility code from card) to an access control panel, but this connection is not strictly required.

Preparing Wiring

1. Wiring connections to be made: Wiegand – should be 18-22 AWG (10-7 MWG) wire, between 3 and 6 conductors depending on which signals will be carried, shielded cable is recommended, and typically the conductors are made of stranded wire. Minimum connections: Data0, Data1, Wiegand Ground RS-485 – use category 5 shielded cable. Ethernet – use category 5 shielded cable Power – should be 18 – 22 AWG (10 – 7 MWG) wire, 2 conductors. Earth Ground – use a single wire with heaviest gauge reasonable.

Warning: Do not use Power Ground as a substitute for Earth Ground.

5. [RS-485 network only]: At converter, jumper TD(A) with RD(A)

and TD(B) with RD(B). Connect Blue/white from Cat5 to either of A terminals and White/blue from Cat5 to either of B terminals. Make certain to connect power correctly.
