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.

4. Optional definition of SSN code and communication password with the reader.
5. In case of 1:N recognition mode, enrolment of users including their fingerprint templates and
card numbers.
6. In case of 1:1 recognition mode, enrolment of users including their card numbers and then
formatting their Mifare Classic cards and recording fingerprint templates.
7. Sending the configuration to the reader.
4.1 Connection and configuration of communication with reader
In order to connect and configure RFT1000 reader it is necessary to know its communication
parameters. Factory default settings are as follows:
·IP address = 192.168.0.70
·Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0
·Port = 13544
·Communication is encrypted with default (empty) password
It is assumed that mentioned above parameters will be changed in particular access control
installation, specifically IP address, port and communication password. These parameters can be
modified with RogerVDM software, which is available for download at www.roger.pl.
Note: In order to connect with reader in local area network (LAN), the computer with RogerVDM
software must be in the same subnet. In case of RFT1000 with default IP address, the IP address
of computer should be 192.168.0.xxx.
Procedure for establishing connection with factory new reader
1. Connect the reader to the network by means of Ethernet port.
2. Install and start RogerVDM software
3. In the top menu of RogerVDM select Device and then New
4. In the newly opened window (see fig.4) select RFT1000 v.1.x fv. 1.1 device and then
Ethernet communication channel (RFT1000 v.1.x fv.1.0 pertains to short series of old
version of RFT1000)
5. IP address and port of RFT1000 reader should be automatically detected by RogerVDM software
if the reader and PC with RogerVDM are in the same subnet and communication between them
