1. Introduction
The fingerprint reader can work with GV-AS Controller and GV-ASManager to create a
complete access control system. Depending on the model of the fingerprint reader, up to
three types of operation modes are supported: Card + Fingerprint, Fingerprint Only and Card
Only.
Card + Fingerprint Mode (GV-GF1901 / 1902 / 1911 / 1912):
With the fingerprint reader only, you can enroll and manage users through the supplied
Manager Enroll Card and Delete Card, along with optional MIFARE user cards.
The fingerprint templates are stored in the user card. The user gains access by scanning both
his finger and his card. The reader compares the presented finger with digital template stored
in the card. If the finger is successfully authenticated, a signal is sent to momentarily activate
the door relay of the controller.
Fingerprint Only Mode (GV-GF1901 / 1902 / 1911 / 1912):
The fingerprints are enrolled through a GV-GF1901 / GV-GF1911 reader installed on the
computer running the GV-ASManager software. The fingerprint data are distributed through
GV-ASManager to the assigned fingerprint readers installed on GV-AS Controllers for access
control.
Card Only Mode (GV-GF1911 / 1912):
This mode requires the users to present their cards only to be granted access.

2. Connecting GV-AS Controller
Depending on the model of the fingerprint reader, three types of communication links are
provided: Wiegand, RS-485 and TCP/IP (LAN).
2.1 Connecting through Wiegand Interface
Supported models: GV-GF1901 / 1902 / 1911 / 1912.
Physical Connection
The fingerprint reader is connected with an unshielded 9-wire cable of 100 cm / 3.28 feet.
Connect these 4 unshielded wires to the assigned pins on the Wiegand interface of the
GV-AS Controller: Red, Black, White and Green wires.
Figure 2-1
The table below shows the wire assignments of the fingerprint reader used for Wiegand
connection.
Wire
Function
For the wiring of extending distance it is recommended to use the standard RS-485 cable (a
twisted pair of 24 AWG wires). The maximum distance of the Wiegand output cable should be
restricted to a length of 30 meters (98.43 feet).
