3.2 LED indicators
RFT1000 reader is equipped with three LED indicators on its front panel. These indicators are used
for signalling current states of the reader. Particular LED indicators can be activated by means of
reader’s inputs. In such case, master device by its outputs connected to RFT1000 inputs (see fig. 2
or 3) can activate indicators as needed. Additionally it is possible to configure behaviour of reader’s
indicators in particular situations. More information on configuration of LED indicators is given in
par. 4.3 Configuration of inputs and LED indicators
Table 3. LED indicators
Symbol Name Colour Description
STATUS Red/Green By default the indicators illuminates in red.
Functioning of the indicator is programmable.
OPEN Green This indicator is usually used for signalling access granting. Functioning of the indicator is
programmable.
SYSTEM Orange This indicator is used mainly for signalling following
system errors:
·microcontroller memory failure (steady
light). In such case, firmware upload or
device repair is required
·configuration error (2 Hz flashing light).
In such case memory reset (restoring of
default settings) is required
·fingerprint scanner failure (10 Hz
flashing light)
·two low supply voltage (0,5 Hz flashing
light)
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 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. Input lines can be configured by means of RogerVDM software
so they could be used for activation of LED indicators and/or buzzer in RFT1000 as well as for
switching card reader mode. More information on configuration of inputs is given in section 4.3
Configuration of inputs and LED indicators.
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.

Page 7of 16
·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).
·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.

Page 11 of 16
4.4 Recognition modes
RFT1000 reader can operate in two recognition modes, which are selected by means of the option
Recognition mode in the General settings area of the window opened with the option
Configuration in RogerVDM software (see fig. 5).
4.4.1 Mode 1:N
In 1:N mode, list of users is recorded in RFT1000 memory. Each user should have his ID number,
card number, and 1 to 10 fingerprint templates. The identification of user in 1:N mode consists in
reading his fingerprint or card number by RFT1000. In case of successful recognition, user card
number or user ID number is send to master device by means of Wiegand interface. If user ID
number is to be sent instead of his card number then the option Send user ID must be activated
in the area Wiegand mode options (see fig. 5). In such case, master device must be properly
configured in order to identify such ID numbers.
4.4.2 Mode 1:1
In 1:1 mode, fingerprint templates are recorded in Mifare Classic cards instead of RFT1000
memory. The identification of user in 1:1 mode consists in comparing his fingerprint with fingerprint
template stored in user’s card memory..
In order to identify user in 1:1 mode, place Mifare Classic in vicinity of reader (LED OPEN shall
pulsate) and then put your finger on scanner. In case of successful recognition, user’s card number
is sent to master device by means of Wiegand interface.
If the option Accept Master authorization in General settings area (see fig. 5) is
activated then users with Master attribute are not required to scan their fingerprints and they can
use their cards for successful identification.
4.5 Users
RogerVDM software enables enrolment of users for both recognition modes. The window for user
enrolment (see fig. 6) is displayed by means of the option Users in the top menu. In case of
RogerVDM, list of users is recorded in local database and it must be uploaded to RFT1000 by
means of the button Send to device. Current list if users can be downloaded from RFT1000 by
means of the button Read from device.
4.5.1 Enrolment of users in 1:N mode
After selection of 1:N recognition mode, user enrolment consists in selection of Add button in
Users area and entering his ID number, name and card number. Card number can be entered
manually or read by means of built-in Mifare reader when Read button is selected. In the next
step it is necessary to select Add button in the area Fingerprints and scan user’s fingerprint(-s).
Each user can have 1 to 10 fingerprint templates assigned.
Note: It is necessary to define users with the same ID numbers and card numbers in master device
(controller) connected with RFT1000 reader. In case of successful identification, either by means of
card or fingerprint, user’s card number is sent to master device by means of Wiegand interface so it
could grant or deny the access.
4.5.2 Enrolment of users in 1:1 mode
After selection of 1:1 mode, user enrolment consists in selection of Add button in Users area and
entering his ID number, name and card number. Card number can be entered manually or read by
means of built-in Mifare reader when Read button is selected. In the next step it is necessary to
open the window for card programming by means of the option Card programmer in the top
menu of RogerVDM software (see fig. 7). In the newly opened window, Mifare card can be
formatted (erased) by means of the button Format card and then fingerprint template can be
recorded in card’s memory by means of the button Save template. After selection of Save
template button place card in vicinity of reader and when LED OPEN (green) flashes place finger
on RFT1000 scanner in order to record fingerprint template in card memory (card must be all the
time in vicinity of reader). Successful recording is concluded with message in Messages area. The
operation can be repeated and successive fingerprint templates can be recorded until card memory

Page 12 of 16
is full. After activation of Master authorization option, users with such attribute are not
obliged to scan their fingerprints for all RFT1000 readers with Accept authorization master
option in General settings area (see fig. 5) activated. For such user, card number is sufficient for
is identification.
It is also possible to define sectors in Mifare Classic memory cards, where fingerprints templates are
to be recorded. Related options are available in the configuration window in the area Fingerprint
template sector (see fig. 5):
·Key type – enables selection of two available access keys for card memory sectors
·First sector – defines first sector of card memory, where fingerprint templates are to be
recorded
·Access key – defines access key for card memory sectors
·Encryption key – defines key for additional securing of data stored in memory card sectors
Note: Options in the area Fingerprint template sector define both the method for recording
fingerprint templates during card programming and method for card reading by particular RFT1000
reader during user identification. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that in both cases i.e. card
programming and user identification, mentioned settings are the same.
Note: Mifare cards have different capacities. Mifare Classic 1k cards can store 1 fingerprint
template, while Mifare Classic 4k card can store up to 7 fingerprint templates. Mifare Ultralight
cards do not have enough memory to store any fingerprint template.
Note: Number of the card with fingerprint templates, number of the card assigned to user in
RogerVDM software and number of user’s card in the master device must be the same. In case of
successful identification of particular user, his card number is sent to master device (controller) by
means of Wiegand interface so it could grant or deny the access.
4.5.3 User identification
User identification by configured RFT1000 reader depends on selected recognition mode (see
section 4.4) and Card Reader Mode (see section 4.3).

4.6 Card code
Mifare Classic and Mifare Ultralight cards have their read-only serial numbers called CSN and
memory, where administrator defined number called SSN can be stored. Optional SSN code
provides additional security as it can be saved in administrator defined sector and it can be
protected with access code against unauthorized reading. RogerVDM software enables defining of

Page 14 of 16
SSN code and recording it to any available sector of Mifare card memory. RFT1000 reader can
identify particular card (user) by means of CSN code, SSN code or combination of both but the total
number cannot exceed 11 bytes. Options related to reading of CSN and SSN codes are available in
Card code area of reader configuration window (see fig. 5)
Example:
Default settings of RFT1000 reader in Card code area is as follows: CSN code length = 7, SSN code
length = 0. In case of such settings, the RFT1000 reads 7 bytes of CSN code only. In case of
exemplary settings: CSN code length = 4, SSN code length = 4, RFT1000 reader during card
identification would read code consisting of 4 bytes of CSN code and 4 bytes of SSN code.
4.6.1 SSN code programming
SSN code as opposite to CSN code of Mifare card can be defined by administrator. SSN Code as
well as its sector in memory and method for recording can be indicated by administrator. SSN code
can be defined and recorded by means of RogerVDM options, which are available in the area SSN
code in the Card programmer window (see fig. 7). After selection of Save SSN code
button it is necessary to hold the card in vicinity of RFT1000 reader. The code can be entered in
decimal or hexadecimal format. Location and recording method can be defined by means of
options, which are available in the area SSN code sector (see fig. 5):
·Key type – enables selection of two available access keys for card memory sectors
·Access key – defines access key for card memory sectors
·Sector – defines sector of card memory, where SSN code is to be recorded
·Block number – defines block number of card memory where SSN code is to be recorded
Note: Options in the area SSN code sector define both the method for SSN code recording
during card programming and method for SSN code reading by particular RFT1000 reader during
user identification. Therefore it is necessary to ensure that in both cases i.e. card programming and
user identification, mentioned settings are the same.
4.7 Configuration export/import
RogerVDM software enables saving the configuration of RFT1000 to file and reading of such
configuration from file. Such file can be secured with password.
The option Send to device…on reader configuration window (see fig. 5) enables exporting of
RFT settings excluding users data base, while the option Send configuration to file which is
available after selection of File option in the top menu of RogerVDM software enables exporting of
RFT1000 full configuration including users data base. Following options are used respectively for
reading configuration: Read from device (see fig. 5) and Read configuration from file,
which is available by selection of File option in the top menu of RogerVDM software.
4.8 Encrypted communication
The communication with RFT1000 reader both in case of Ethernet and RS485 port can be
encrypted with AES128 CBC standard. By default, encryption is conducted with empty
communication password. Administrator can define his own communication password (max. 16
digits) in reader configuration window in the field Communication password (see fig. 5).
Such password must be then entered when establishing connection with the reader by means of
RogerVDM (see fig. 4).
4.9 Full memory reset
Full memory reset erases current settings, including users data base and restores factory default
settings. Reset method must be selected depending on target communication method with the
reader (Ethernet or RS485).
Reset procedure (communication channel – Ethernet):
·Switch off power supply to RFT1000.
·Remove connections to CLK and IN2 terminals.
·Connect CLK terminal with IN2 terminal.

Page 15 of 16
·Switch on power supply to RFT1000. The reader shall generate continuous acoustic signal.
·Disconnect CLK and IN2 terminals.
Communication parameters after reset:
·IP address = 192.168.0.70
·Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
·Port = 13544
·Communication is encrypted with default (empty) password
Reset procedure (communication channel – RS485)
·Switch off power supply to RFT1000.
·Remove connections to CLK and IN1 terminals.
·Connect CLK terminal with IN1 terminal.
·Switch on power supply to RFT1000. The reader shall generate continuous acoustic signal.
·Disconnect CLK and IN1 terminals.
