3.2 LED indicators
RFT1000 reader is equipped with three LED indicators on its enclosure. The indicators operate in
the same way as corresponding LED indicators of controller connected to RFT1000.
Table 3. LED indicators
Symbol Name Colour Description
STATUS Red/Green Armed/Disarmed mode of controller
OPEN Green Door unlocked
SYSTEM Orange Various signalling functions, e.g. microcontroller
memory failure, configuration errors, etc.
3.3 Power supply
RFT1000 reader requires 12 VDC supply voltage. The supply must be connected to +12V terminal
and GND terminal. The GND terminal is also reference potential for RS485 bus (if used) and IN1,
IN2 input lines.
All devices, which are connected to the same RS485 bus should have common ground (GND). In
order to ensure this, all GND terminals of various power supply units in the system must be
connected with each other using separate wire. Alternatively, the common negative pole (GND) of
the entire system can be earthed, but only in single point.
3.4 Inputs
RFT1000 reader is equipped with two, NO type inputs (IN1 and IN2), which are activated by
connecting to negative supply pole. By default, inputs are disabled by the they can be configured
by means of RogerVDM so they could be used for switching card reader mode. More information on
configuration of inputs is given in section 4.1.4 Inputs.
3.5 Use/installation guidelines
·All electric cables must be connected to devices with disconnected power supply.
·If the range of card reading is significantly lower than specified in technical documentation,
consider relocation of reader.
·After installation of RFT1000 reader, remove protector from fingerprint scanner. Otherwise it
may hinder fingerprint scanning.
·In case of connection through Ethernet port, twisted pair cable should be unisolated in the
shortest possible distance and wires should remain twisted in the longest possible distance.
·RFT1000 can be mounted to the wall be means of screws on standard flush mounting box (Ø 65
mm).
·It is required to install proximity card readers in minimal distance of 0.5m from each other.
·In order to ensure correct operation of the reader it is necessary to clean periodically the
fingerprint scanner by means of wet cloth and mild detergent. Do not clean by means of
abrasive materials and strong cleaners like alcohols, solvents, etc. Damages to scanner surface
are beyond the scope of warranty.
·F11 reader should be installed in shaded and dry place, far from heat and moisture. It is
necessary to avoid dust and abrupt temperature changes. The reader cannot be installed in
placed exposed to direct sunlight. In the event of exposure of the device to direct sunlight or
strong artificial light it may operate improperly.
