1. INTRODUCTION
Note: Factory new RFT1000 reader is uploaded with firmware v1.4 and it cannot be used in RACS 4
system. In order to use RT1000 in RACS 4 system it is necessary to download firmware v1.2 which
is available at www.roger.pl and upload it according to section 4.7 below.
This manual contains minimum information that is necessary to properly install and configure
RFT1000 readers in RACS 4 access control system. Additional information on RACS 4 system can be
found in following documents which are available at www.roger.pl:
Functional description of PRxx2 series controllers
PR Master User manual
The application of RFT1000 reader in RACS 5 and third party systems is described in dedicated
documents which are available at www.roger.pl.
2. DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION
RFT1000 biometric reader operates as terminal for PR series controller and is equipped with both
fingerprint scanner and MIFARE Ultraligth/Classic proximity card reader.
Initial configuration of RFT1000 reader is performed by means of RogerVDM software through
Ethernet port, while further configuration and use is performed by PR Master software. The
communication between the reader and RogerVDM/PR Master software is encrypted with AES128
CBC standard. Whereas the communication between RFT1000 reader and controller is performed
by means of RACS CLK/DTA interface.
The reader can store up to 1900 fingerprint templates. 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 Classic card memory
(1:1 mode).
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 access controller as for fingerprint scanning of users it is just enough to
connect the reader to LAN or RS485.
Note: PR Master 4.5.6 or newer is recommended for RFT1000 reader.

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.

Note: Synchronic pulsing of LED indicators signifies lost communication with access controller. In
case of RFT1000-ADM which does not require connection to controller such pulsing does not signify
failure.
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
connection 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.

3.6 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 then
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 uninsulated in the
shortest possible distance and wires should remain twisted in the longest possible distance.
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 fingerprint scanner
regularly 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.
RFT1000 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
places exposed to direct sunlight. In the event of exposure of the device to direct sunlight or
strong artificial light it may operate improperly.
In case of communication with RFT1000 reader by means of RS485 bus it is forbidden to apply
UT-4 v2.0, UT-4DR or any other Ethernet-RS485 converters.
It is recommended to use Ethernet interface (instead of RS485) for RFT1000 with 1:N
recognition mode and with activated Admin reader option
Proper finger placing for the purpose of fingerprint reading is shown in fig. 5. In case of kids
(small fingerprints) it is recommended to verify fingerprint reading prior to installation of
RFT1000.

4. CONFIGURATION
The configuration of RFT1000 reader to be used in RACS 4 system consists in:
1. Connection of the reader to network through Ethernet port according to fig. 2. or through
RS485 port according to fig. 3. By default, RFT1000 is configured for Ethernet communication.
2. Installation of RogerVDM software, establishing connection with the reader and performing
preliminary setup including reader’s communication password.
3. Connection of RFT1000 to controller by means of RACS CLK/DTA interface according to fig. 2.
4. Installation of PR Master software and establishing connection with the reader.

5. In case of 1:N recognition mode, enrolment of users including their fingerprint templates and
card numbers by means of PR Master software.
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 by means of PR
Master software.
7. Sending the configuration to the reader by means of PR Master software.
4.1 Configuration by means of RogerVDM
RogerVDM software is used for initial configuration of RFT1000 reader. Further configuration
including enrolment of users is performed by means of PR Master software.
4.1.1 Connection and communication parameters
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 computer 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.6) select RFT1000 v1.0 device, firmware version 1.2
and then Ethernet communication channel.
5. IP address and port of RFT1000 reader is automatically detected by RogerVDM software if the
reader and PC with RogerVDM are in the same subnet and communication between them is not
blocked. Default IP address of the reader is 192.168.0.70 and port is 13544, while
communication passwords is empty.
6. Select Connect button.
After establishing the connection it is possible to modify communication parameters both for
Ethernet and RS485 communication in the newly opened window, which can be accessed by
selecting the option Configuration in the top menu. In the area General settings (see fig. 7)
enter your settings and then upload the configuration to the reader by means of Send to device
button.
