Zodiac LITE Installation Instructions May 2008 !Rev 1.5
Introduction
The Zodiac LITE biometric fingerprint reader allows all programming and user management to take place right at
the reader, without having to run cables to a PC. Up to 90 user templates can be stored in the reader’s non-volatile
memory. When used with a power supply and a door control module, this reader becomes the focal point of a 100
per cent PC-free, stand-alone door access control system.
