FingerPrintScan System FPC 1381 –Technical Handbook
Version 2.00 page 5
4. Function Mode
The FPS-S enables control functions to be processed using the unique biometric
characteristics of individuals. The system uses the biometric characteristics of
fingerprints. The fingerprint is recorded on a scanner using a “thermal line sensor”.
Recording is performed by noting temperature differences on the fingerprint,
evaluating the print and its unique characteristics (minutiae) and finally storing the
information in the system. If the print is recognised in further scan processing, then
attributed functions are carried out (e.g. opening doors, arming/disarming an IDS).
5. Modes of Operation
The system can be used in two basic modes of operation
Operation Mode 1 (BA1):
For general use without requirements or dependencies: For switching functions four
isolated switch relays are provided. Each relay can be programmed for different
operation modes.
Operation Mode 2 (BA2):
Specially design for arming/disarming intruder detection systems. The evaluation of
signals for the so-called “inevitability” is guaranteed. In this operation mode relay 1 is
provided for the arming of an intrusion alarm control unit. The other three relays are
available for individual programming.
6. Fundamentals
The FingerPrintScan System consists of the P1381 controller and the P1384 / P1385
scanner. The system operates on 12 V. Communication between the controller and
the scanner takes place over an RS –485 data bus. Four two-way switch relays and
three 12 V outputs are provided for display purposes. The P1384 scanner has a
buzzer as well as 3 LEDs for displaying status. The P1385 scanner has a buzzer as
well as 2 multi-coloured LEDs for displaying status.
7. Data Protection
Fingerprints are recognised through their minutiae, distinctive points in the fingerprint
pattern (e.g. bifurcations, terminations). The system extracts such minutiae from each
print read and stores the position and angle of each. A reconstruction of the full print
using the minutiae is not possible, thus guaranteeing data protection and unlimited
use.

FingerPrintScan System FPC 1381 –Technical Handbook
page 6 Version 2.00
8. Definitions
Evaluation Unit (EU):
The evaluation unit is the controller of the fingerprint system FPC-1381. Hereafter
abbreviated as EU.
Intruder Detection System (IDS):
An IDS is a hazard detection system which recognises e.g. an intrusion into property
and as the case may be, the notification of a security firm by means of a transmitter.
False Rejection Rate (FRR):
The percentage of admissible users who were mistakenly not admitted by the
biometric system.
False Acceptance Rate (FAR):
The percentage of prohibited users who were mistakenly admitted by the biometric
system.
Minutiae:
Branches in the grooves, occlusions, crossovers, short lines as well as ends of
grooves are the characteristic structures in a fingerprint. These patterns are detected
wherever the grooves in the skin disperse or terminate. The points are named
minutiae.
Minutiae based process:
Comparison of the fingerprint (the current image) with a reference image (template)
for the determination of the following:
compliance with the accuracy of position
compliance with the type of minutiae
compliance with the direction of the minutiae
Characteristics:
Minimum number of minutiae: 15 minutiae
False Rejection Rate (FRR) 7-9.5%
False Acceptance Rate (FAR) 9*10-6 = 0.0009%
Lock plate contact (LPC):
The device built into the lock plate, e.g. contact or sensor, through which the latch
activates the lock (Source VdS).
Template:
A template is a record of a fingerprint. This record also contains personal
identification numbers, finger numbers and minutiae.
Inevitability (IE):
A method which prevents an IDS which is not completely functional, from being
armed or an armed IDS from unintentionally being triggered by means of an external
or distant alarm. (Source VdS).

Version 2.00 page 7
9. The Function of the Thermal Line Sensor
Layout: The thermal sensors are located in a narrow, elongated block.
Function: If a finger is placed over the block, the thermal sensors register temporal
temperature changes.
The temperature differences between the lines and grooves of a fingerprint are so
large that they can be recognised by the line sensor. The temperature differences are
digitally processed by a micro controller and a greyscale image is calculated. The
accuracy of the line sensor is such that a picture with a resolution of approx. 500dpi
can be generated. From this picture the lines of the finger are digitally measured. The
angle and position of distinct points (minutiae) are determined. Finally, these
minutiae are either compared with information in the database or stored.

11. Successfully Drawing Finger Over Scanner
The way a finger is drawn over the scanner is critical to having the scanner recognise
the print as easily as possible. With some practice the user can keep the FRR (false
rejection rate) lower than that which the statistics reflect.
Include as much of the surface of the finger (outermost finger limb) as possible.
Set the finger onto the uppermost limit of the guide, not coming in contact with the
sensor. Then let the finger fall onto the surface of the sensor and immediately draw
the finger down at a steady rate and with light pressure on the sensor. Perform this
freely but not rapidly. If the finger jerks over the sensor, it is a sign that too much
pressure is being applied. The finger must be pulled far enough over the sensor until
it no longer touches the thermal line sensor. Only then the scan is complete.

FingerPrintScan System FPC 1381 –Technical Handbook
page 10 Version 2.00
Learn to finger scan successfully - “how to do it”
Put the finger at the very top of the guide.
Do not touch the sensor yet.
Place the finger onto the sensor.
Press lightly.
...and at a steady rate...
... draw the finger completely across the sensor.

12.7.1. The Process of Leaning One Finger:
Learning a finger involves a total of three scans. The system then compares all three
prints and stores the best image in the database.
- After the learning process has been started with „OK“, the EU displays >input<
and the LED of the selected scanner blinks three times. After a short pause it
blinks again three times.
- Now the selected finger must be drawn over the scanner (see page 9: 11.
Successfully Drawing Finger Over Scanner)
- After scanning the finger, a green LED briefly shines green, which means that
the finger has been successfully recognised. If a red LED or no LED shines
then the finger was not recognised and must be scanned again.
- Now the yellow LED blinks only two times => The finger must be drawn over
the scanner two more times.
- Scan the same finger again.
- If the finger has been recognised successfully then the yellow LED will blink
only once.
- Scan the same finger one last time.
- If the third scan was successful then the system will begin to compare the
fingerprints with each other. If all prints are in order then the green LED will
issue with a 3 second long beep. The EU now shows „- i.O.-„ in the display.
The finger print is now stored in the database and is immediately valid.
- If the three finger prints are too varied or show too few characteristics
(minutiae), the red LED shines, a buzzer signals and the EU displays
„Template unclear“. In this case the learning procedure has failed and must be
repeated.
- If a repeated attempt fails then it can be attempted to slightly reduce the
security level (See pate: Fehler! Textmarke nicht definiert. Fehler!
