Notice!
Use of the Wiegand interface
For data security reasons, the use of the Wiegand interface is not recommended. A secure
encrypted data connection is only obtained with the use of the OSDP v2 protocol. The OSDP
protocol is used via the RS485 connection.
i
Notice!
To ensure high security of data exchange between credentials and readers, only encoded
cards such as MIFARE DESFire or iCLASS SE should be used in the access system.

2.4 How to enroll a fingerprint
In order to improve the fingerprint authentication rate, register the fingerprint correctly. The
reader can recognize a fingerprint even if the angle and position of a user's fingerprint input
change. If you register the fingerprint with attention to the following instructions, the
authentication rate can be improved.
Selecting a finger for fingerprint input
– In preparation for the case that the fingerprint of a specific finger cannot be used, for
example if the user is lifting a load with one hand or a finger gets hurt, up to 10
fingerprints for each user can be registered.
– In the case of a user whose fingerprint cannot be recognized well, the authentication rate
can be improved by enrolling the same finger twice repeatedly.
– If a finger has a cut or the fingerprint is blurry, select another finger for the fingerprint.
– It is recommended to use the index finger or the middle finger when scanning the
fingerprint. The authentication rate can be reduced if it is difficult to place another finger
at the center of fingerprint sensor accurately.
Fingerprint enrollment method
1. Place the finger with the fingerprint to be registered on the fingerprint authentication unit
and press the finger gently for better authentication.
2. Wait for the instructions of the management system to place the finger a second time on
the sensor. Scan the fingerprint of the registered finger again.

Bosch Access Systems GmbH Installation manual 2022-06 | v01 |
Cautions for enrolling a fingerprint
When a fingerprint is recognized, it is compared with the initially registered fingerprint, so the
initial fingerprint enroll is the most important. Pay attention to the following matters when
enrolling the fingerprint:
1. Place the finger deep enough to contact with the sensor completely.
2. Place the center of the fingerprint in the center of the sensor.
3. If a finger has a cut or the fingerprint is blurry, select another finger for the fingerprint.
4. Scan the fingerprint correctly without moving according to the instruction on the screen.
5. If you make the finger upright so that the contact area with the sensor has decreased or
the angle of finger has warped, fingerprint authentication may not be performed.
Failure during fingerprint recognition
The reader can recognize a fingerprint regardless of a change of season or finger condition.
However, the authentication rate may vary according to the external environment or
fingerprint input method.
If the fingerprint authentication cannot be done smoothly, it is recommended to take the
following measures:
1. If the finger is smeared with water or sweat, dry off the finger and then scan the finger.
2. If the finger is too dry, blow your breath on the fingertips and then scan the finger.
3. If the finger has a cut, register the fingerprint of another finger.
4. The initially registered fingerprint often may have not been scanned correctly, so register
the fingerprint again according to ‘Cautions for enrolling a fingerprint’.

3 Installation
3.1 Fixing the bracket and the product
1. Determine the correct position to install the bracket using the provided drilling template.
2. Fix the bracket firmly using fixing screws through the bracket to the position where the
device will be installed.
3. Install the device onto the fixed bracket.
4. Assemble the device to the bracket by rotating the star-shaped fixing screw.
– When assembling the product with the bracket, use the included bracket fixing screw
(star-shaped) instead of the product fixing screw for enhanced security.
