Optimal positioning of finger
In order to ensure proper functioning of the fingerprint
reader, the finger must be correctly laid on during both
teaching-in and subsequent operation. It is important
that the finger area with the greatest fingerprint move-
ment (middle of fingertip) is registered by the finger-
print sensor.
Therefore position the finger as shown.
Optimal:
The area of greatest
fingerprint movement
centrally on sensor.
Incorrect:

Basics for the teaching-in of a finger
For the teaching-in of a finger, the finger to be taught-
in is repeatedly laid on. It is important to vary the posi-
tion of the finger with repeated laying on by a few mil-
limetres each time, so that the fingerprint reader can
register the largest possible finger area.
1. Place the finger to be taught-in cen-
trally until an acknowledgement tone
is heard.
2. Shift the finger slightly upwards.
3. Shift the finger slightly downwards.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 until 1 long
acknowledgement tone is heard and
the LED lights up green
With "difficult" fingers (e.g. those of small
children or those with very dry skin) it may be necessary
to lay on the finger to be taught-in up to 7 times. If a
negative acknowledgement is heard after the seventh
attempt (3 short sounds), the teach-in of the finger was
not successful.
In this case position the finger again (step 1) or use
another finger.

6
Teaching-in first administrator
Before first start-up, an administrator must be created.
If no administrator has been taught-in, the LED of the
fingerprint reader flashes green.
An administrator consists of an administrator finger and
a programming finger.

slightly) until a short acknowledgement tone is
heard.
3. Repeat step 2 until 1 long acknowledgement tone
is heard and the LED lights up green.
The administrator finger was taught-in successfully.

Connection to door communication system
Direct assignment/group assignment
Assignment differentiates between:
•direct assignment of individual user fingers to an in-
dividual switching actuator
•group assignment of all user fingers to a switching
actuator.
With group assignments, all user fingers assigned to
the fingerprint reader trigger a switching action with
the switching actuator.
During programming, an admin finger is laid on in-
stead of a user finger.
iFirst, start-up the
door communication system
Before programming of the fingerprint reader is
begun, the door communication system must be
started up.
iAdvantage of group assignment
With group assignments, all taught-in user fingers in
a programming step are assigned a common switch-
ing actuator. User fingers that are also assigned at a
later date to the fingerprint reader can switch this
common switching actuator without further pro-
gramming.

20
Assignment
User-specific switching actuator/door opener
User fingers must be taught-in in the fingerprint reader
beforehand (from Seite 8).
1. Press the "Systemprogr." button on the control
device for 3 s to start programming mode.
✔The LED at the control device flashes. The fingerprint
reader generates an acknowledgement tone and the
LED flashes orange. The operating mode LED of the
switching actuator flashes.
2. Press the button "Progr." at the switching actuator
(or the button "Türöffnerprogr." of the control
device), until the LED next to the button flashes.
✔The fingerprint reader again generates an acknowl-
edgement tone.
3. Lay on the user finger to be assigned.
✔The fingerprint reader generates a positive acknowl-
edgement signal:
The switching actuator was assigned successfully.
4. Press the "Systemprogr." button on the control
device to exit the programming mode.
iDelete assignment of user -
switching actuator
To delete the user - switching actuator assignment,
the teach-in procedure is repeated.
The assignment cannot be deleted via the switching
actuator (press programming button 6 s)
