For information about developing software for the DIGIgarde PLUS, please refer to the DIGIgarde PLUS SDK User Guide.
User’s ID. This is called 1:1 verification. If a user is not required to input their ID, the DIGIgarde PLUS must then match the scanned fingerprint against all the templates in its database. This is termed 1:N verification.
Verification factors Verification factors The DIGIgarde PLUS Fingerprint reader supports single, dual and three factor verification modes. Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3 provide a description of the verification modes and shows how to use them. In the following table and in the DIGIgarde PLUS menu, the following symbols are used: / means OR;...
Valid users are rejected. This is called False Rejection. The False Rejection Rate (FRR) is the probability that DIGIgarde PLUS will fail to identify an enrolled user, or verify their legitimate identity. An imposter is mistakenly accepted because of the similarity of their fingerprint to that of a registered user.
Introduction Supervisors Users with access to all DIGIgarde PLUS functions including system settings. NOTE. During the initial setup, an Enroller may create Manager and Supervisor accounts. Similarly, a Manager may create a Supervisor account. However, once these accounts exist, only a Supervisor may create or edit Manager and Supervisor accounts.
LED indication LED indication LED indication LED indication The DIGIgarde PLUS unit has a red/green status LED in its top-left corner. This provides information about the verification process.

Connecting Connecting DIGIgarde PLUS DIGIgarde PLUS DIGIgarde PLUS This section describes the connection of DIGIgarde PLUS to access control units, other DIGIgarde PLUS units, door locks and sensors, alarms and a PC. 2.3.1 2.3.1 Preparing for connection Preparing for connection 2.3.1...
Wiring guide Wiring guide DIGIgarde PLUS can be connected to other devices (access control units, lock, door sensor, alarm, host PC etc) through the colour-coded and labelled connection cables. In addition to the connections described in Table 5, there is also a pre- configured RJ-45 connector.
Using PoE Using PoE Connect the DIGIgarde PLUS to a PoE-enabled network device such as an Ethernet switch using the RJ45 connector and an appropriate CAT5 (or higher) cable. You can also ‘inject’ power into the network cable using a midspan power supply or PoE injector.
CAUTION! A suppressor MUST be fitted at each lock (see below). Suitable suppressors (1N4003 diodes) are provided with each MICROgarde controller and can be purchased separately from TDSi. For each lock, allow 50% more than stated power rating. For example, if the lock has a rating of 500mA, use a 750mA minimum supply.
Connect the door sensor to the White (SENSOR) and Black (GND) wires in the Lock bundle. Most door sensors have contacts that are closed circuit when the door is closed. Please contact TDSi if you have sensors that are open circuit when the door is closed. Egress button...
Ethernet data. PoE can supply reliable power to low power Ethernet network devices such as wireless access points (WAP) and security cameras. To use PoE to power the DIGIgarde PLUS, you must connect the unit to a PoE- enabled network device such as an Ethernet switch. Alternatively, power can be injected into the cable from a midspan power supply or PoE injector.
Connect RS-232 RX, RS-232 TX and RS-232 0V on the reader to TX, RX and 0V of the PC serial port respectively. Please refer to Figure 10. Figure 10 Connecting a single DIGIgarde PLUS to a PC using RS-232 2.4.3 2.4.3 2.4.3...

The DIGIgarde PLUS provides four ways to enrol a user: Fingerprint Enrolment. Password Enrolment. Note. On the DIGIgarde PLUS, a ‘Password’ is a 5-digit number. Combined Fingerprint and Password Enrolment. Mifare card (see page 28). You can choose the enrolment method to suit a particular user. For example, a user with poor quality fingerprints can be given a password verification option.
000000001 000000001 DIGIgarde PLUS displays the ID it will assign as the User ID for this account. The ID is a 9-digit number. As you enrol users, DIGIgarde PLUS automatically increments the ID starting from 000000001 for the first new user.
User Setup The scanning process takes a few seconds. When this is complete, the DIGIgarde PLUS beeps and prompts the user to remove their finger. Repeat this procedure for two further scans. New Enrol New Enrol 000000001-0 000000001-0 Second Press...
If the password is for a new user account, press the OK button (to add a fingerprint to an existing user account, press the ESC button). DIGIgarde PLUS displays the ID it will assign as the User ID for this account. The ID is a 9-digit number. As you enrol users, DIGIgarde PLUS automatically increments the ID starting from 000000001 for the first new user.
User Setup DIGIgarde PLUS prompts you to save the password and confirm the enrolment. Press the OK button or press ESC to cancel the enrolment. New Enrol New Enrol 000000001-0 Continue? OK(Save) If you want to enrol other new users, press the OK button when prompted to continue.
FP Card Register a user by enrolling their fingerprint and storing the template in a Mifare card. The template is not stored locally on the DIGIgarde PLUS and the unit will be unable to authenticate the user without their card.
Create a user account from the information stored on a Mifare card. The fingerprint template remains on the card and is not stored in the DIGIgarde PLUS. This option provides a quick way to add a user to multiple readers.

Dsen.Delay Delay time (in seconds) after the lock is powered before the DIGIgarde PLUS checks on the state of the door sensor. If the door state at this time is anything other than that set in Dsen Mode (see below) the alarm is triggered.
Sys Info ► Turn Off Alarm NOTE. DIGIgarde PLUS is equipped with an anti-tamper mechanism triggered if the unit is removed from its back plate while power is applied (see page 9). If this occurs, the screen displays the message “SYSTEM BROKEN”.
With the In or InOut anti-passback modes enabled, the DIGIgarde PLUS will not allow access to a “user” unless the system has recorded that the user has previously exited the area.

However, do clean if the sensor if its performance is affected. Clean the optical sensor as follows: Switch off the DIGIgarde PLUS. Blow on the surface of the sensor to clean off any loose particles. Use adhesive tape to clean the surface of the optical sensor.
After prolonged use, the surface of the fingerprint sensor may become dirty or scratched. The DIGIgarde PLUS may sense the dirt and scratches as a fingerprint and attempt verification. Alternatively, a connecting cable may be loose or there could be an internal problem.
