4.2 Basics
The AR402 is manufactured in two versions:
1. AR402 with built-in biometrical sensor and keypad
2. AR402-Card Reader with built-in biometrical sensor and keypad + embedded smart card
reader
The AR402 identifies authorized users by scanning their fingerprints (and optionally their
PINs and smart cards). Successful identification sends a trigger signal to an access
controller within a protected area and is followed by a door lock or release.
The AR402-Card Reader reads fingerprints and smart cards alternatively.
Fingerprint authentication requires that the authorized user's fingerprints have been enrolled
in advance and that they have been linked to a unique User ID.
Enrollment can be performed on the AR402, which stores the collected data (Templates).
The 'Template on Card' mode allows you to write Templates onto smart cards (currently
16k2 cards only).
The AR402 can either be run using the RS485 interface or the Wiegand output:
RS485 Configuration Running the reader using the RS485 interface means that
administration of the AR402 is done on the NEXTOR Series
access controller.
All administrator functions, except for enrollment, are disabled
on the AR402.
Fingerprint Templates are managed by the access controller
and can be distributed to the connected AR402 readers.
Wiegand Configuration All administrator functions described in this manual, except for
enrollment, only apply to the Wiegand configuration. All settings
are entered on the keypad of the AR402.
Fingerprint templates are stored on the AR402 and cannot be
distributed to connected AR402 readers.
4.3 Basic Operating Principles
General Pressing any key triggers a beep.
Release Beep tone and all LEDs flashing green
Green and Red / Green LEDs Guides an administrator through the setup menus
Red LEDs and Beeps Generally indicates an error
Error Message 3 short beeps and all LEDs flashing red 3 times indicate an error.
The desired function was not performed.
3x Key "#" Press "#" three times to reset the reader to keypad default state after typing
errors or wait for timeout (10-30 seconds, depending on status) to return to the default
position.

Authorized users who's fingers have been enrolled and who's PIN have been registered are
granted access when entering:
Finger without PIN: Press »=> Bio-Sensor is illuminated
Apply Finger => Green LEDs (Access granted)
Finger plus PIN: Press »=> Bio-Sensor is illuminated
(Wiegand) Apply Finger => LEDs flash (Waiting for PIN entry)
Enter PIN => Green LEDs (Access granted)
Finger plus PIN: Press »=> Green and Red LEDs 1 and 4 flash (Waiting for PIN entry)
(RS485) Enter PIN => Bio-Sensor is illuminated
Apply Finger => Green LEDs (Access granted)
4.4.2 Authentication, AR402-smart card type:
Authorized users who's fingers have been enrolled and who's card type cards and PIN have been
registered on the access controller are granted access when entering:
Finger: as above
Card without PIN: smart card => Beep and short green signal (Indication card was read)
=> Green LEDs (Access granted)
Card plus PIN: smart card => Beep and short green signal (Indication card was read)
(Wiegand) => LEDs flash (Waiting for PIN entry)
Enter PIN => Green LEDs (Access granted)
Card plus PIN: smart card => Beep and short green signal (LEDs 2/3) (Indication card was read)
(RS485) => Green and Red LEDs 1 and 4 flash (Waiting for PIN entry)
Enter PIN => Green LEDs (Access granted)
4.4.3 Authentication, 'Template on Card' (AR402-smart card type only)
Authorized users who's fingers have been stored onto their card and who's smart cards and PIN
have been registered on the access controller are granted access when entering:
Card without PIN: smart card => LEDs flash green.
Beep when finished reading the card (Indication card was read)
=> Green LEDs (Access granted)
Card plus PIN: smart card => LEDs flash green.
Beep when finished reading the card (Indication card was read)
=> LEDs flash (Waiting for PIN entry)
Enter PIN => Green LEDs (Access granted)
The AR402-smart card type reads fingers and smart cards alternatively without having to switch
between operating modes.
If a mistype occurs on the keypad simply press the “#” three times to reset and start over.
The various operating modes are configured in the administrator’s menu as described in section 5.

5 Wiegand Configuration - Administrator Functions
With the exception of enrollment all administrator functions described in this section only
apply to the Wiegand configuration, i.e. connecting the AR402 to the access controller via
Wiegand.
Administration of the AR402 with Wiegand is done on the reader. The Fingerprint Key user
interface is comprised of the keypad, fingerprint reader and smart reader as input devices
and the LEDs and beeper as output devices.
The administrator functions allow administrators to configure the operating modes and the
Admin code.
e-DATA GmbH delivers the device with the default Admin Code '1234'.
In addition to the Admin Code each device has a fixed access code. This code corresponds
with the device’s serial number, a 12-digit hexadecimal code, which is printed on the back of
the reader. The 12-digit code serves as a basis for calculating the access code if your
Admin Code is lost. In this case please contact e-DATA GmbH.
5.1 Change the Admin Code
The default Admin Code is '1234'.
For security reasons it is advisable to change the Admin Code!
The Admin Code can be a 4-digit to 8-digit code.

Default Admin Code 1234

5.2 Enrollment
The AR402 assigns 2 different fingers (e.g. left index finger, right index finger) to the unique
User ID of a person. Each of the 2 fingers must be scanned 3 times by the Fingerprint Key
reader. The biometric sensor reads fingers best when placing your finger on the sensor with
some pressure.
3 x +3 x
5.2.1 Enroll user
The fingers of a new user are enrolled by entering the following on the reader's keypad:
Admin Mode # 99 # Green 1+2
Default Admin Code 1234
or enter your Admin Code xxxx # Green 1+2+3
Enter Enrollment Code 12 # Green 1+2+3+4 flashing
Enter User ID * xxxxx # Green 1 flashing Sensor Red
Apply 2 Fingers 3x if successful:
Green 1+2+3+4 flashing
Finalize by 1 x # #
or wait for Timeout
Entering a User ID with an incorrect number of digits, an already existing User ID, or variant
IDs with Validation enabled and also if your fingers already have been scanned will prompt
an error message (all red LEDs flashing three times) and cause the reader to return to it's
default position.
* With Validation enabled enter your User ID a second time. After the first entry of your User
ID and the '#' key, the four green quickly flashing LEDs indicate the reader to expect your
User ID for a second time.
Bright daylight may affect the function of the biometric sensor.
Shadowing the sensor with your hand will help.

5.2.2 Write Template onto smart Card (AR402-smart card reader type only)
Setting the reader to 'Template on Card' is required for this operation (see "Choose
iCLASS Mode", page 21) and the reader must 'know' the encryption of your iCLASS cards.
The 'Template on Card' mode does not store fingerprint templates to the AR402 but writes
them onto iCLASS cards instead. The reader identifies authorized users by comparing the
fingerprint templates stored on the card with the scanned finger of the card holder. If the
two match the reader will send the facility code and card number to the controller.
'Template on Card' may be expedient where storing biometric data is prohibited. In
addition this mode offers a good alternative using biometric readers in a Wiegand
configuration as users will not have to enroll on multiple readers.
At this point 'Template on Card' only works with 16K2 iCLASS cards and in a Wiegand
configuration.
The AR402-iCLASS will store the fingers of a new user onto iCLASS cards when entering
the following on the keypad:
Admin Mode # 99 # Green 1+2
Default Admin Code 1234
or enter your Admin Code xxxx # Green 1+2+3
Enter Enrollment Code 16 # Green 1 flashing Sensor Red
