2.1 Specifications of initial version.

  • 2 fingerprints are stored on the card.

  • 1 of the 2 stored fingers must be presented.

  • 1 card per reader(s) can be used to enter the enroll mode (Based on the UID of the card).

The reader must be initialized for use with TKH cards.
Depending on configuration, Desfire 3DES or AES256 (ev1) can be used.

Connecting the PHG reader to a Polyx™ or Pluto/Orion, the Controller must be configured for use with the
card coding like 4 sitecode and 4 cardnumber or 6 sitecode and 6 cardnumber.

2.2 Supported cards

  • TKH coded DESFire cards

  • TKH coded Mifare classic cards

  • Mifare classic cards (UID)

The cards must be prepared in order to be able to store fingerprints.

The card reader must be provided with key material to be able to read the desired cards.

Other cards or custom keys on request.

3. Installation

There are 2 reader types, so there are 2 ways to connect the reader. The table model can be connected directly to the Workstation with a straight serial cable.

 

The wall mounted reader can be connected to a Reader Orbit/ bus Orion (clock data protocol) or a Polyx™/ Pluto with stacked Orion (RS485 communication).

5. Using the reader

5.1 Using the reader in Enrollment mode

The reader is programmed to store 2 fingerprints on the card. Each finger has to be presented 3 times to get a high accuracy.

Present the enroll card, the fingerprint sensor will flash red. The LED will blink Red.
Start enrolling:

  • present the first finger 3 times

  • present the second finger 3 times

5.2 Using the reader in normal mode

When the reader is in normal read mode, present your Enrolled card to the fingerprint reader. The LED will blink blue. The finger sensor lights-up RED and the LED starts flashing yellow. Present one of the two Enrolled fingers.

When there is a match the status LED will blink Green, and one beep is given. When there’s no match, the status LED will blink Red and gives two beeps. Now you get a second chance to present your finger. When the second chance also fails you have to re-present your card.
