Honeywell VISTA Series, CA-FP-100F, CA-FP-100FS, CA-FP-100FID, CA-FP-100FIC Manual

Instruction for Use

Protect the FRT from exposure to direct sunlight or strong beam as strong beam greatly affects the fingerprint collection and leads to fingerprint verification failure.

Avoid using the FRT outdoors in summer. The working temperature of CA FP 100Fxx series ranges from 0–40 C. The heat dissipated during long term operation may easily lead to response slowdown and verification pass rate decrease. It is recommended to use sunshades and heat sink devices for protection of the FRTs outdoors. We recommend you to use the FRT properly so as to achieve the optimal recognition effect and verification speed.

1. Install a CA FP 100Fxx FRT and then enroll your fingerprint for comparison
   
2. Recommended fingers
   Recommended fingers: The index finger, middle finger or the ring finger; the thumb and little finger are not recommended (because they are usually clumsy on the fingerprint collection screen).
3. Finger Placement
   1. Proper finger placement:
      
      The finger is flat to the surface and centered in fingered guide.
   2. Improper finger placement:
      
      

Note:
Please enroll and verify your fingerprint by using the proper finger placement mode to avoid degradation of verification performance due to improper operations. We reserve all rights for the final interpretation and modification of these rules.

4. LED Colors and Their Meanings
   CA FP 100Fxx FRT works normally: The green LED blinks once every other second.
   Verification fails: The red LED is solid on for 3 seconds.
   Verification succeeds: The green LED is solid on for 3 seconds.

Note:
If the LED display is inconsistent with the above conditions, please contact our technical personnel.

Basic Concepts

This section introduces the definitions and descriptions of the following basic concepts:

• User enrollment
• User verification
• Match threshold
• User ID
• Authority class

The most important two functions supported by CA FP 100Fxx series are user enrollment and verification.

User Enrollment
A user can enroll up to 10 different fingerprints using one ID number to have multiple verification selections. Theoretically all the fingers of a user need to be enrolled so that the user can still perform fingerprint matching even if one or more of his/her fingers get cut or damaged. Generally it is recommended that a user shall enroll at least two fingerprints, for example, the index fingers of both hands, so that the user can use any of the enrolled fingerprints for recognition even if he/she forgets which fingerprint has been enrolled.

User Verification
When a user enters a password after placing his/her finger on the fingerprint reader, or scans his/her fingerprint after entering an ID number, the CA FP 100Fxx FRT compares the newly scanned fingerprint with a fingerprint stored in template. The fingerprint template is used to check the user ID. If a user enrolls his/her fingerprints on an FRT, the user can keep attendance records on this FRT through fingerprint verification which takes about 2 seconds. Upon verification, the system displays a prompt about whether the verification succeeds or not and then stores the successful matching record in the CA FP 100Fxx FRT.

Match Threshold
The match threshold is set to achieve a trade off between the possibilities of false rejection and false acceptance. The false acceptance means the fingerprint recognition device mistakes the fingerprint of user A for that of user B, while the false rejection means the fingerprint recognition device refuses to recognize an enrolled fingerprint.

You can set a match threshold for all users. For fingerprints that fail to pass the verification, you can adopt the "ID + Fingerprint" verification mode (that is, 1:1 match) so that the system adopts the data set in 1:1 match threshold when matching the fingerprints.

If a user's fingers are severely worn out or damaged, lower the match threshold (see Table 3 1).

Note: The false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) mutually influence each other. Reducing the FAR will increase the FRR, and vice versa. The default match threshold is 35 and the default 1:1 match threshold is 15. Table 3 1 lists the settings of match thresholds in different scenarios.

Match Threshold

FRR	FAR	Match threshold
		1:N	1:1
High	Low	45	25
Medium	Medium	35	15
Low	High	25	10

User ID
When enrolling fingerprints, a user will be allocated with an unused ID. When the user starts to verify his/her identity, this ID is used to associate the fingerprint feature template or password.

You can enter the ID through the mini keyboard or other storage means, for example, the RF card (the fingerprint recognition device must be configured with the RF card reader).

Authority Classes
The CA FP 100Fxx series FRTs include four authority classes:

• Users: refer to those who are required to verify their identity for a purpose, for example, opening the door through the CA FP 100Fxx FRT or keeping their entry/exit records.
• Registrars: refer to the users who are granted the right to enroll or delete users.
• Administrators: refer to the users who are granted the right to perform all operations except performing advanced settings and enrolling administrators and super administrators.
• Super administrators: refer to users who have access to all system functions and modify all system settings.

Note: When the super administrators are not enrolled, the registrars can enroll the administrators and super administrators. Similarly, the administrators can enroll super administrators in the absence of super administrators. Once super administrators are enrolled, administrators of lower class cannot enroll those of higher class.

Main Interface
The first interface displayed on the screen upon equipment power -on is referred to as the "Initial Interface", as shown in the following figure.

Enrollment and Verification

This chapter introduces how to enroll users on the CA FP 100Fxx series. Further, it describes how to verify the validity of enrolled fingerprints.

This chapter includes the following parts:

• Enroll users
• Check enrollment effects
• Enroll spare fingerprints
• Verify identity
• Prompts for successful enrollment

Note:
To enroll a new user, you must have the authority of a registrar, administrator or super administrator. For details, see Authority Classes.

Enroll a User
If no administrator has been enrolled, any user has the right to enroll a new user. If an administrator has already been enrolled, you can only enroll a new user after passing the administrator verification.

The RFT supports the following three enrollment modes that respectively apply to the general public with three different types of fingerprint quality:

• Fingerprint enrollment: This enrollment mode applies to the majority of the general public with good quality fingerprints.
• Fingerprint + Password enrollment: This enrollment mode applies to a small portion of the general public who can enroll their fingerprints successfully but have difficulty in fingerprint verification due to their poor fingerprint quality.
• Password enrollment: This enrollment mode applies to about one percent (the actual number may vary slightly) of the general public who are unable to enroll their fingerprints successfully.

If an administrator has already been enrolled, you need to verify the administrator identity by pressing MENU.

The system then prompts you to swipe your finger or enter a password for administrator verification.

Note: If no administrator has been enrolled, administrator verification is not required.

Check Enrollment Effect
After enrolling a fingerprint, you need to verify its validity by placing your corresponding finger properly on the initial interface of the FRT. If the FRT recognizes your fingerprint successfully, it proves that your fingerprint is clear and recognizable; otherwise, you need to re enroll your fingerprint or change another finger for enrollment. If it still does not work, it proves that your fingerprints are not suitable for recognition and you need to adopt the fingerprint and password verification mode.

Verification Modes
Fingerprint Verification
You can adopt 1:1 and 1:N matching modes for fingerprint identification.

1. 1:1 fingerprint matching (ID + fingerprint)

In the 1:1 fingerprint matching mode, the FRT compares the current fingerprint collected through the fingerprint reader with that in relation to the user ID entered through keyboard.

Operation steps: Enter a user ID through keyboard on the initial interface.

Note: The FRT displays 5 digit numbers, and automatically adds 0 as prefix to the numbers less than 5 digits. For example, if you input "11", the FRT will display "00011".

Press OK and then place your finger on the fingerprint reader, or directly place your finger on the fingerprint reader to display the following interface:

If the verification succeeds, following interface will be displayed:

If the verification fails, the system will display the following interface:

After the above interface is displayed 0.5 seconds, the system will return to the initial interface.

2. 1:N fingerprint verification

In the 1:N fingerprint matching mode, the FRT compares the current fingerprint collected through the fingerprint reader with all the fingerprints stored in the FRT.

Operation steps:
Place your finger on the initial interface to display the following interface:

If the verification succeeds, the interface will be displayed:

If the verification fails, the system will display the following interface:

After the above interface is displayed 0.5 seconds, the system will return to the initial interface.

Password Verification
Input your ID on the initial interface.

Press OK and the following interface is displayed.

Input a correct password and press OK to confirm your entry.

If you enter a wrong password, the system displays "Wrong Pwd" as shown below and returns to the password input interface:

Verification Through Card ReadŒ
If you have your ID card number enrolled in the system, you can pass the verification by read your ID card at the corresponding area in a proper way.

Prompts for Successful Enrollment
A high fingerprint enrollment quality assures quick verification speed, while a poor fingerprint enrollment quality may easily lead to false rejection and slow verification.

To enhance the quality of enrolled fingerprints, refer to Table 4 1

Common Causes of Enrollment Failure or Poor Fingerprint Quality

Finger is too dry or dirty	Rub your fingers against your palm because rubbing yields oil. Moisturize your finger by breathing on it.
Apply insufficient pressure	Apply pressure lightly and evenly during the capturing process.
Select fingers for enrollment	Left and right index fingers or middle fingers are recommended. Select the fingers without worn out or damaged fingerprints. Users usually select their index fingers, but if their index fingers do not have high fingerprint quality, they can select their middle fingers or ring fingers. For users with small fingers, they can opt for their thumbs. To enroll spare fingerprints, users can select fingers not prone to wear out or damage, for example, the ring fingers.
Finger placement	Press your finger flatly on the fingerprint sensor and be sure that the pad (not the tip) covers as much of the sensor window as possible. Do not press your finger perpendicular to the fingerprint sensor; do not knock your finger on the sensor quickly; keep your finger still.
Impact of the fingerprint image change	The change of fingerprint image due to skin peeling off or injury will affect the verification performance. If the fingerprint quality of a user is poor due to the skin peeling off and the user cannot pass the verification one week later, the user needs to re enroll his/her fingerprint or adopt the password verification mode.
Other causes	There may be a small amount of people who cannot pass the verification no matter how hard they try due to very poor fingerprint quality. In that case, you can adopt the ID + fingerprint verification mode, duly lower the 1: 1 match threshold or adopt the password verification mode.

Administrator Enrollment
The CA FP 100Fxx FRT provides administrator settings to prevent unauthorized users changing system data and ensure system security. The operations on administrator settings are as follows:

Access Control Function Description
The access control setting items include the user's access time segments and access combinations.

The setting items for each user include: The group that the user belongs to, and the available access time segments for group and user. User grouping means the allocation of a user to a certain group, for example, Group 1 or Group 2. A group or user can be set with three preset access time segments at most, and these time segments have an "OR" relation with one another (that is, unlocking is available for a group/user at any one of these time segments). For details on the relationship between the use of group TSs and the user TPs, see User Access Control Settings.

In a simple word, the unlocking conditions for an enrolled user are as follows:

1. The group to which the user belongs must lie in an access combination (or it can share the same access combination with other groups and unlock together with them).
2. The current unlocking time must remain within any one of valid access time segments.

Newly enrolled users are classified into Group 1 by default. The default group time segment is "1". When Group 1 and time segment 1 both adopt factory defaults, the newly enrolled users are in Open state. (If a user modifies the access control settings, the system will also change these settings accordingly.) If the group to which a user belongs is inexistent in access combination settings, the user can only mark his/her attendance but cannot unlock.

Access Control Verification Flow

Valid time segments for unlock: whole day (00:00–23:59), or the period from start to end time.

Tip: The default time segment 1 indicates the whole day access (that is, the newly enrolled users are allowed to unlock).

Select Def Time to display the following information:

Press OK to display the Def TP1 interface as follows:

The TP1 above is defined as whole day access, that is, the factory default.

Time segment can be reset. Take TP1 as an example:

Inaccessible on Saturday and Sunday;

Accessible during the work time from Monday to Friday.

Work time: 08:30–18:00

The specific settings are as follows:

Multiple time segments can be defined as required and the entire system can be defined with 50 time segments at most.

Define Grouping Functions
By using the grouping functions, you can divide users into different groups and combine diverse groups to form different access combinations, so as to facilitate access control management. The system defines 5 groups: Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4 and Group 5. Newly enrolled users belong to Group 1 by default, but they can also be reassigned to other groups.

Group TS: This parameter is used to set the unlocking time of groups. In Group TS, select a set TP No. The newly enrolled user adopts the time segment of Group 1 by default, but after resetting the group that he/she belongs to, the user will use the related time segment of the new group. Therefore, the default time segment of every group shall be defined in advance.

For details on how to Use Grp TPs, see User Access Control Settings.

Tip: The time segment of Group 1 is numbered "1" by default. (That is, the newly enrolled users are allowed to unlock by default.)

1. Select GRP TP Define and then select "1" as Group No.:
   
   

Press OK to display the Group1 Default TS interface.

There are three default time segments which have an "OR" relation with one another.

Group 1 is allowed to unlock within the time segments 1, 8 and 40. You can also select other defined time segments.

2. Select GRP TP Define and then select "2" as Group No.
   Press OK to display the Group2 Default TS interface.
   

Group 2 is allowed to unlock within the time segments 2, 10 and 36. You can also select other defined time segments.

The time segments of every group can be defined as required and the entire system can be defined with the time segments of 5 groups at most.

User Access Control Settings
The user access control settings can be performed based on user requirements.

You can access the User Acc Opts menu to query the access control setting state of a user.

The User Acc Opts menu includes the options: Belong to GRP, Group TS, User TS, Group VerType, and Individual VerType.

• Belong to GRP: Divide the enrolled users into several groups to facilitate management.
• Group TS: Set whether the user adopts the default time segments of the group that he/she belongs to.
• User TS: Set the user's unlocking time and select a set time segment number.
• Group VerType: Set whether the user adopts the verification types of the group that he/she belongs to. †Individual VerType: Select a verification type for an individual user without using group verification types or affecting other group members' verification types.

Note:

1. Relationship between group time segments and user time segments.
   The value of the option Use Grp TPs only works for the following user time segments:
   1. If "Use Grp TPs" is set to Y, the user time segment will be automatically assigned the time segment No. of the group that the user belongs to. (Group time segments must be set in advance.)
   2. If the user time segment changes, "Use Grp TPs" will be automatically set toN.
2. Relationship between group verification types and individual verification types.
   1. If the option Group VerType is set to Y, the user will use the group verification type.
   2. If the option Group VerType is set to N, the user will use the individual verification type.

Examples:

1. Users 00001 and 00002 are classified into Groups 1 and 2 respectively.

Select User Acc Opts and set the UserID to 00001.

Press OK to display the setting interface of user 00001. Press ▲/▼ to select Y for the option Use Grp TPs. As mentioned above, Group 1 has been allowed to unlock within the time segments 1, 8 and 40. Select Y for the option Use Grp VS. Here we assume that the verification type of Group 1 is password verification (which can be set through the option Group VerType under the menu "Access Options"). The following information is displayed on the screen:

User 00001:

1. User 00001 belongs to Group 1 and adopts the time segment of Group 1 (The user time segment No. is the group time segment No). User 00001 is allowed to unlock within the time segments 1, 8 and 40.
2. If user 00001 adopts a group verification type (password verification), this type shall prevail even if user 00001 selects another individual verification type.

Press OK to display the setting interface of user 00002.

If the user time segments are numbered 1 and 20, the system will automatically set the option Use Grp TPs to N.

To set "Group VerType" to N, set the option VERType (individual verification type) to FP as shown in the following figure:

User 00002:

1. User 00002 belongs to Group 2 and adopts the user time segment instead of group time segment (which means user 00002 is allowed to unlock within the time segments 1 and 20). If user 00002 wants to adopt the group time segments, he/she can selectY, and then the user time segment No. will be automatically assigned the group time segment No. If user 00002 wants to adopt the user time segments, he/she can directly modify the user time segment No. and the system will automatically set the option Use Grp TPs to N.
2. The individual verification type adopted by user 00002 is fingerprint verification.

Definition of Unlock Combinations
The unlock combinations are defined to control the unlocking. For example, to make all enrolled users unable to unlock, leave all the ten unlock combinations BLANK.

The unlock combinations are user defined combinations to unlock the door, and each combination consists of different groups. The unlock combinations specify the group number(s) permitted to unlock the door, leaving the user verification sequence out of account. For example,

• "123" means the door unlocks only after at least three users respectively from Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 pass the verification within the specified time segment.
• "4" means the door unlocks after one user of Group 4 passes the verification.

You can define a maximum of 10 unlock combinations for the FRT and the door unlocks as long as one of them passes the verification.

Tip: The default unlock combination is "1" (that is, new enrolled users can unlock the FRT by default). On the initial interface, press Menu → Options → Access Options → Access Comb, as shown in the following figure:

Thedefault unlock combination is "1" and other unlock combinations are left blank.

To make all users unable to unlock, leave all these ten unlock combinations BLANK.

To enable unlocking for some of the groups, you need to define the unlock combinations, as shown below:
Example 1:

As shown in the figure above, five unlock combinations are set in total:

Unlock combination 1: 123.

Unlock combination 2: 4.

Unlock combination 3: 24.

Unlock combination 4: 45.

Unlock combination 5: 15.

Unlock combination 1: The door unlocks only after at least three users respectively from Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 pass the verification within the specified period.

Unlock combination 2: The door unlocks as long as one user from Group 4 passes the verification.

Unlock combination 3: The door unlocks only after at least two users respectively from Group 2 and Group 4 pass the verification within the specified period.

Unlock combination 4: The door unlocks only after at least two users respectively from Group 4 and Group 5 pass the verification within the specified period.

Unlock combination 5: The door unlocks only after at least two users respectively from Group 1 and Group 5 pass the verification within the specified period.

To sum up, the door unlocks only when users of each group in an unlock combination pass the verification within the specified period.

Note:

1. The verification will fail in any of the following cases:

• The user time segment number is not selected.
• The default group time segment number is not selected (when the group time segment is used).
• †The verification does not remain within any of the user defined time segments.
• The time segment is defined as "Disabled".

2. Users set a time segment within which the verification fails:
   1. If the conditions of unlock combination 2 are met, users of "Invalid Group" cannot unlock but are allowed to register attendance. (If there are other users meeting the unlocking condition in Group 4, then the unlock combination 2 is allowed to unlock)
   2. If the conditions of unlock combinations 1, 3, 4 and 5 are met, users of "Invalid Group" cannot unlock but are allowed to register attendance.

2) Example 2:
To set the vault of a bank to unlock only in the presence of three people, proceed as follows:

These three people respectively belong to Group 2, Group 4 and Group 5 and are granted the right to unlock within the same time segment. Select "Comb 1" and press OK. Then enter "245" through the numeric pad and press ESC to exit and save the setting.

Tip: Once the "245" combination is set, combinations such as 24, 25 and 45 are not allowed.

2. The Connection of the Master and the Slave
   Currently, three modes RS232, Wiegand and RS485 are applicable for the connection of the master and the slave. Of the three, RS232 is less often used due to its deficiency that its connection distance is short. For example, it can be used when the master and the slave are just installed respectively inside and outside a door. Its connection principle is similar to that of RS485, which is omitted here. The Wiegand connection is widely used, most of whose devices on the market are applicable to the master and the slave. RS485, whose transmission distance is great (however it is recommended that the distance should not be over 600 meters), applies to most occasions, but the slave must be equipped with the inBIO reader (which is used for collecting fingerprint or swiping card).
