1.3 System connections
1.3.1 Power supply connection
Use a 12V DC power supply adapter capable of at least 2A, with IEC/EN 60950-1 approval. If additional
power consuming devices are included, make sure to use a power adapter that is able to supply the total
current needed.
Note: It is best practice to use separate power supplies for the RB25F and the electric locks.
1.3.2 Network connection
Network connection to a network that has a server or a router configured for DHCP.

1.4 Hardware reset the RB25F
Resetting the RB25F device to factory defaults should, where possible, be carried out through the HID
Biometric Manager application. Refer to the HID Biometric Manager Administration Guide (PLT-04029). In
the event that communication between HID Biometric Manager and the RB25F is not possible, carry out the
following hardware reset at the reader:
1. Unscrew the installation locking screw from the bottom of the RB25F mounting bracket.
2. Slide the RB25F upwards and remove from the mounting bracket.
3. From the back of the reader, remove the label that covers the contacts.
4. With power supplied to the reader, short the contacts together using a suitable metal object.
5. Maintain the short for a full five seconds. The RB25F will beep while you hold the short.
6. One long beep of two seconds confirms the reset. All device settings will be returned to the default.
You will need to install and update the device in order to return it to the former working level.

Fingerprint enrollment guidelines

The iCLASS SE® RB25F is capable of extracting quality features even from fingers with poor conditions.
Nevertheless, correct placement of fingers on the sensor during enrollment helps consistency in fingerprint
recognition. Adhere to the following general guidelines and RB25F specific guidelines to enroll optimal
fingerprint images from a user’s finger to improve recognition performance.
2.1 General guidelines
Choose the ideal fingers to enroll
For correct positioning of finger on the sensor, it is recommended to use index or middle fingers.
Correct positioning of finger on sensor
nMaximum contact area: Place your finger to completely cover the sensor with maximum contact
surface.
nPlace on the center: Position center of fingerprint (core) on the center of the sensor.
nHold your finger still: Once you place your finger on the sensor, hold finger still until prompted to
remove finger.
Note: The positioning of the finger on the sensor is important. If the finger does not cover the maximum
contact area, or if the finger is not held still the enrollment will not be successful. For this reason,
this product is not recommended for use with children under the age of 12.

Sensor cleaning
The fingerprint sensor can become soiled by user’s fingers, dust, or other sources. This contamination may
affect image quality, degrading authentication performance. It is therefore recommended that you
periodically clean the RB25F sensor.
In order to avoid scratching the senor surface use soft lint-free material (or a cotton swab), with gently
movements to clean the capture area.
Caution: Do not use acidic liquids, alcohol or abrasive materials to clean the sensor.
Common reasons for enrollment failure
Problem Solution
Finger is too dry or dirty Rub the finger in the palm of your hand to moisten/clean it
Finger applied too lightly Place finger firmly and flat onto the sensor surface
Finger positioned incorrectly Your finger must cover most of the sensor window
Finger removed or moved during the
scan process
Hold your finger still and do not slide it on the sensor window until the scanning
process is complete
Injury or wear has changed the
fingerprint pattern
Contact the administrator as you may need to enroll another finger

2.2 Fingerprint enrollment best practices for RB25F
1. Insert your finger into the RB25F sensor area so the finger tip touches the back wall and rests softly
on the sensor slope.
2. Slide your finger down so that it completely covers the sensor window contact surface.
3. Apply gentle pressure on the sensor to slightly flatten your finger and expose a maximum usable
area.
4. Keep your finger still until prompted to remove finger.

Acronyms and terminology

Term Definition
Authentication Mode
(RB25F)
Template on Card: The RB25F is waiting for a Credential (Card) to be presented. It
retrieves all the biometric templates from the credential.
If the presented finger matches the biometric templates retrieved from the
credential a Grant Access is recommended. This is a 1:1 Verification match against
Template on Card (ToC). The sensor is not armed (blue light off) until the Credential
is presented.
Card + Finger: The RB25F is waiting for a Credential (Card) to be presented. It
looks up the user ID and all associated biometric templates in it’s local device
database. If the presented finger matches the biometric templates retreated from
the local database a Grant Access is recommended. This is a 1:1 Verification match
against Template on Device (ToD). The sensor is not armed (blue light off) until the
Credential is presented.
Finger Only: The RB25F is waiting for a finger to be presented that is stored in its
local device database. If the presented finger matches one stored in the database a
Grant Access is recommended. This is a 1:N Identification match against Template on
Device (ToD). The sensor is always armed (blue light on).
Card Only: The RB25F is waiting for a Credential (Card) to be presented. It reads
the PACS data only and always recommends a Grant Access. The sensor is never
armed (blue light off).
The RB25F is waiting for either a Credential (Card) to be presented or a finger,
stored in its local device database, to be presented. This authentication mode is
particularly useful during initial enrollment setup.
Biometric spoofing Biometric spoofing is a method of fooling a biometric identification management
system. An artificial object (for example, a fingerprint mold made of silicon) is
presented to the biometric scanner that imitates the unique biological properties of
a person which the system is designed to measure.
BLE Bluetooth Low Energy (formerly marketed as Bluetooth Smart) is a wireless
personal area network technology.
ERR The Equal Error Rate (EER) is the common value indicating that the proportion of
false acceptances (FAR) is equal to the proportion of false rejections (FRR). The
lower the EER value, the higher the accuracy of the biometric system.
False Accept Rate (FAR) The False Accept Rate (FAR) is the measure of the likelihood that the biometric
security system will incorrectly accept an access attempt by an unauthorized user.
False Reject Rate (FRR) The False Reject Rate (FRR) is the instance of a security system failing to verify or
identify an authorized person.
FTA Failure To Acquire. The biometric system failure to extract usable identification data
from a biometric sample.
Identification (of Identity) Typically finding a matching template in a large database of templates. 1:N matching.
LFD Live Finger Detection. This is used in some markets instead of Spoof. It is also used
to refer to insuring a severed finger is not being presented at the sensor.
MINEX Minutia Interoperability Exchange. The MINEX program is dedicated to the
evaluation and development of the capabilities of fingerprint minutia matchers
running on ISO/IEC 7816 smart cards.
M-Series Mercury Platform Series of Products.
MSI Multi-Spectral Imaging.
OSDP Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is an access control communications
standard developed by the Security Industry Association (SIA) to improve

Tap The Tap gesture with a mobile device for door opening.
The Tap operation is typically used when the mobile device is in close proximity to
the reader. Approximately 12 inches (30 cm).
Twist and Go The Twist gesture with mobile device for door opening.
The Twist operation is typically used when the mobile device is at a longer distance
from the reader. Approximately 6 feet (2 meters).
ToC Template on Card. The PACS data is read from the card.
ToD Template on Device. The PACS data is read from the device database.
vCOM V-Series Command Protocol.
Verification (of Identity) Typically a fingerprint template is stored on a card and checked against a finger
presented to the finger print sensor. 1:1 matching.
