1. INTRODUCTION
This manual contains minimum information that is necessary to properly install and configure
RFT1000 readers in RACS 5 access control system. Additional information on RACS 5 configuration
can be found in the Application Note AN006 which is available at www.roger.pl. The application of
RFT1000 reader in RACS 4 and third party systems is described in dedicated documents which are
also available at www.roger.pl.
2. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION
RFT1000 biometric reader operates as access control terminal and/or Time&Attendance terminal in
RACS 5 system. RFT1000 is equipped with fingerprint scanner and Mifare Ultraligth/Classic/Plus/
DESFire proximity card reader. Users can be identified by comparison of their fingerprints with
fingerprint templates recorded in reader’s memory (1:N mode) or by comparison of their
fingerprints with fingerprint templates recorded in Mifare card memory (1:1 mode). The reader is
not a standalone device and for the purpose of access control and T&A it must be connected to
MC16 controller. The communication in LAN/WAN is encrypted with AES128 CBC method.
The reader in RFT1000-ADM version is installed on metal base and it is operated as administrator
reader. Its configuration and management is the same as standard RFT1000 device. It is not
necessary to connect it to MC16 access controller as for fingerprint scanning of users it is just
enough to connect the reader to LAN.
Note: RFT1000 readers do not use or store full fingerprints. Based on the characteristic points of
the fingerprint, the reader generates a certain string of characters using a classified algorithm. The
string is then used in access control. It is not possible to recreate the actual fingerprint on the basis
of this string and the data stored in the reader is understood only by the reader.

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 (IN1, IN2) inputs which can be configured as NO/NC with
RogerVDM software. Inputs can be assigned with functions using RogerVDM software and VISO
