Areas of application Use as individual device In this case the existing zero-voltage relay contacts within the flush-mounted insert are used, e.g. for a door opener with own power supply. Unsuitable for use as individual device in safety-relevant areas Not recommended for opening of outside doors espe- cially in safety-relevant areas, as door may be opened when fingerprint reader is expanded via bridging of open contacts.

Use in door communication system The fingerprint reader can be connected to the door com- munication system via the enclosed connection cable. The fingerprint reader can thus control e.g. the door opener contact of the control device or can trigger the switching action of a switching actuator.
Operation To operate the fingerprint reader, only the one-time laying on of the previously taught-in finger is necessary. 360° contact surface for finger Taught-in fingers are detected in any position (360° contact surface). The optimum positioning of the finger (see graphic) is preferable.
Acknowledgement signals The fingerprint reader generates different acknowledge- ment signals during operation and start-up: Positive acknowledgement signal 3 The fingerprint reader generates a long acknowledge- ment tone, the LED simultaneously lights up green. Negative acknowledgement signal 3 The fingerprint reader generates 3 short acknowledge- ment tones, the LED simultaneously lights up red.
Start-up procedure For start-up the fingerprint reader, the following steps must be implemented in the order shown below: Install fingerprint reader (from Page 12) LED flashes green II. Create first administrator (Page 16) Admin Progr. (7x) (7x) III. Create user finger for relay 1/2 (from Page 18) R1 = Admin Progr.

Installation and mounting of electrical devices may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. Do not use the seals included with the cover frame when installing the flush-mounted inserts in Gira TX_44 cover frames. The fingerprint reader is connected via both detachable terminal strips and mounted in a 58 mm flush-mounted box.
Optimal positioning of finger In order to ensure proper functioning of the fingerprint reader, the finger must be correctly laid on during both teaching-in and subsequent operation. It is important that the finger area with the greatest fingerprint move- ment (middle of fingertip) is registered by the fingerprint sensor.
Basics for the teaching-in of a finger For the teaching-in of a finger, the finger to be taught-in is repeatedly laid on. It is important to vary the position of the finger with repeated laying on by a few millimetres each time, so that the fingerprint reader can register the largest possible finger area.
Teaching-in first administrator Admin Progr. (7x) (7x) Before first start-up, an administrator must be created. If no administrator has been taught-in, the LED of the fin- gerprint reader flashes green. An administrator consists of an administrator finger and a programming finger. Administrator and programming fingers Administrator and programming fingers cannot be used for subsequent switching actions.

Deleting administrator An administrator is deleted by deleting one of the two fin- gers (programming or admin finger). When one of the fingers is deleted, the other finger of the administrator also loses its function. The final administrator cannot be deleted. If there is only one taught-in administrator remaining in the Fingerprint reader, it cannot be deleted.

Direct assignment/group assignment Assignment differentiates between: • direct assignment of individual user fingers to an indi- vidual switching actuator • group assignment of all user fingers to a switching ac- tuator. With group assignments, all user fingers assigned to the fingerprint reader trigger a switching action with the switching actuator.
Assignment User-specific switching actuator/door opener User fingers must be taught-in in the fingerprint reader beforehand (from Page 18). 1. Press the "Systemprogr." button on the control device for 3 secs. to start programming mode. 3 The LED at the control device flashes. The fingerprint reader generates an acknowledgement tone and the LED flashes orange.
Assignment of user - group switching actuator/door opener Assigning all taught-in user fingers in the fingerprint reader to a group switching actuator: 1. Press the "Systemprogr." button on the control device for 3 secs. to start programming mode. 3 The LED at the control devices flashes. The fingerprint reader generates an acknowledgement tone and the LED flashes orange.
Relays/actuators – what switches when? The following rules apply with the basic configuration of the switching actuator assignments: • the relays of the fingerprint reader are not switched as soon as a switching actuator is assigned. • an individual switching actuator always has a higher priority than a group switching actuator.
5 rules for selecting the correct mode Rule 1: If the door communication system has not been assigned any switching actuators, the relays assigned to the user are always switched. Rule 2: If the relays should switch together with a switching actuator (individual/group), mode 3 or 4 must be selected.
Assigning mode to an individual user finger To assign the corresponding mode to a user finger, pro- ceed as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprogr." button on the control device for 3 secs. to start programming mode. 3 The LED at the control devices flashes. The fingerprint reader generates an acknowledgement tone and the LED flashes orange.
Assigning mode to a user finger group To assign the corresponding mode to the group of user fingers, proceed as follows: 1. Press the "Systemprogr." button on the control device for 3 secs. to start programming mode. 3 The LED at the control devices flashes. The fingerprint reader generates an acknowledgement tone and the LED flashes orange.

Assigning the door opener All house occupants should be able to open the door with their user fingers. 1. Start programming mode at the control device. 2. Start door opener programming mode at the control device. 3. Carry out the group assignment with the admin finger: For this, lay the admin finger on the fingerprint reader.
Example 3: Integration in door communication sys- tem without speech function If no speech function is required, the fingerprint reader can be integrated into the door communication system as follows: 1 Fingerprint reader 2 Bus coupler door communication 3 Switching actuator 4 Control device 5 Door opener Pay attention before start-up!
Removal alarm The flush-mounted insert generates an alarm signal after removal of fingerprint reader. With individual device If the fingerprint reader is removed from the flush- mounted insert, a 1-minute continuous tone is emitted. In door communication system If the fingerprint reader is operated with the door com- munication system, the removal signal can be forwarded to a switching actuator in addition to the 1-minute con- tinuous tone.
