"FP500" Fingerprint Access System
Item no.: 75 22 11
Intended Use
The fingerprint module servers as personal access system for the most varied applications. It enables
access control to various systems via the unique fingerprint of up to 100 authorized persons (depending
on the size of the finger print entered).
The fingerprint is read by the module and if it corresponds with one of the authorized persons, a potential-
free switching output is activated.
The USB interface enables operation of the included FP500 PC software, which offers a number of
additional functions such as deleting individual fingerprints and changing the relay switching time.
The module is supplied via a direct current source of 12 V (12 V/DC) or an alternate current source of 8
V (8 V/AC). The maximum load on the switching output is 35 V/DC/AC and 3 A.
It is not permitted to switch machines or devices with the module, which may cause bodily harm or mortal
danger.
The reader module is designed for installation in a standard electric wall outlet but can also be mounted
on the wall with the enclosed installation ring. Both modules have to be protected from penetrating water
(rain) or excess dew. The required safety regulations concerning the safety distance to live voltages/cables
have to be observed.
No part of the product must be modified or rebuilt!
Observe the safety instructions under all circumstances! Please read through the operating instructions
completely before operating the device. They contain important information for correct operation.

Safety and Hazard Notices
The guarantee/warranty will be void if damage is incurred resulting from non-
compliance with the operating instructions. We will not assume any responsibility
for consequential damage!
We do not assume liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by
improper use or the failure to observe the safety instructions! In such cases the
warranty/guarantee is voided.
• The unauthorized conversion and/or modification of the product is prohibited for safety and approval
reasons (CE).
• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.
• Only an expert may install the device.
• Handle the product with care. It can be damaged by impact, blows or when dropped even from a low
height.

Installation and Connection

Connections must be made while the device is free of voltage/current!
When installing, use the included unlocking fork for removing the
blind. Use it to press back the hooks at the underside of the front
blind and pull it off.
The module is delivered completely assembled and must only be
connected via the cable (observe the direction snaps).
For programming, remove the cover of the evaluation unit by
slightly pressing on the latches on the side "V" (see figure).

When installing the device, make sure that the
evaluation unit that contains the two "J1" and "J2"
jumpers is not accessible for any unauthorized
persons (e.g. separation by a wall), as this is
required to delete and program the fingerprints. No
connections may be made to "Y1" (connection is
only required by the manufacturer).
Install the two units at the intended locations. The distance between
the evaluation unit and the sensor unit is no more than 50 cm.
Extensions are not permitted. The fingerprint module can control,
e.g., a door opener. Connect the door opener, etc., to the two
clamps of the potential-free "Relay" switching output (closing
contact). Carefully tighten the screws with a matching screwdriver.
The plug at the sensor unit now needs to be plugged into the "Y5"
connection of the evaluation unit.
Connect the power source to the "Power" screw clamp while the
power is off. Carefully tighten the screws with a matching
screwdriver. You do not have to observe the polarity. A suitable
power supply will deliver a stable voltage output of 8 V/AC or 12 V/
DC (at least 250mA). Make sure that all plug and screw connections
are tightened properly.
The fingerprint module is now connected.

internally. The fingerprint module is then ready for use.
Correct Sensor Operation
The following items must be considered for best recognition in switching operation and when programming
new fingerprints:
• First place the finger on the sensor up to the deep stop, as shown
in the figure on the right, so that it touches both sensor metal
strips.
• Pull it out of the casing and over the sensor into the user's
direction smoothly. This process should last approx. one se-
cond.
• The finger must be kept centred and slightly pressed down so
that it always touches the sensor metal strip during scanning.
• The index finger is usually best suited.
• Scarred fingers or calluses in the area of the fingerprint make
recognition more difficult. If required, use another finger.

Programming the Authorized Fingerprints
General Procedure:
First the so-called "master" must be programmed. Only this user can clear the programming of additional
fingerprints. After clearance by the master, other authorised fingerprints can be programmed

1. Step: Programme Master Fingerprint

To programme the master fingerprint, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the "J1" and "J2" jumpers. "LED1" and "LED2" must be lit!
2. Now attach the "J1" jumper. After approx. 10 seconds, "LED2" goes out, "STATUS LED" lights up and
3. Put the desired finger in place and pull it out over the sensor as described in the chapter "Correct Sensor
4. Remove the bridge from jumper "J1". After approx. 30 seconds, your information is computed and
The master fingerprint programming process is now completed.
2. Step: Check that the Master Fingerprint was programmed correctly
Pull the "master finger" over the sensor (as described in "Correct Sensor Operation"). Successful
recognition of the finger print is indicated by "LED1" and "LED2" lighting up shortly. Afterwards, the relay
will close for approx. three seconds.
If the unit does not detect the master finger at the 1st or 2nd attempt (the relay does not click), delete the
module data as described in "Reset to default settings/Deleting the programmed fingerprints" and repeat
the master fingerprint programming procedure. as described above.
Where recognition fails, "LED1" and "LED2" will light up three times in a short sequence
after no more than ten seconds. The reason may be an unauthorised fingerprint. Fingerprints
read in the wrong direction, too fast or skewed will also not be recognized. In this case, the
recognition process must be repeated.
If required, clean the sensor surface with a soft, antistatic cloth.
Please note:
• Always use the same finger for programming and verification processes!
• Perform all operating steps without any extended pauses! Otherwise the process is
interrupted automatically, ignored, or the device can only be returned to normal operating
mode with a hardware reset (see chapter with the same title) to protect the device from
manipulation.
General Notes:
• If the LED status does not change when programming or recording the fingerprint, pull
the finger over the sensor once again.
• If there is any double flash of "LED1" and "LED2" without any action on your part, this is
system-related and has no influence on the function.
• The fingerprints may also be programmed through the included PC software. This makes
the programming process easier by providing additional feedback.
Special function of the "Master Fingerprint":
• Later programming procedures can only be initiated after confirmation by the master
fingerprint! Observe this when selecting the respective user. It therefore serves to protect
against programming unauthorised persons.
• The first programmed fingerprint is automatically defined as the master.
• The master may only be changed with the PC software.

Operation". If the fingerprint was programmed correctly, "LED1" and the "STATUS LED" go out for
approx. one second. If this was not successful, "LED1" and "LED2" will flash shortly three times, and
the process (only no 3) must be repeated.
This programming procedure may have to be repeated several times depending on the quality of the
fingerprint recorded (approx. five times)! If "LED1" and "LED2" flash twice within approx. half a second,
this indicates that the programming procedure for the "master fingerprint" was completely successfully.
