Important Notes

• Please do not install F18 in an area where it can come in contact with direct sunlight or any other source of light
• Use regulated 12V DC 3A power supply only

Mounting the Unit

• Place the unit approximately 5 ½ feet above the ground level if permissible so that the users are comfortable in using the reader with least chances of error
• Pull the power and network cables from the back of the wall and connect them to the appropriate pigtail wires supplied with the reader
• Remove the screw at the bottom of the reader to detach the back plate.
• Install the back plate of the unit on to the wall and connect the power, network and other necessary cables on the back of the unit.
• Secure the reader with the back plate by fixing the tamper proof screw at the bottom of the reader.

Hardware Setup

• Power on the reader by supplying 12V DC to the power and GND pins on the back of the reader. The power supply is not supplied with the reader. Please make sure that the power requirements are strictly met to avoid permanent damage to the reader.
• After the reader is powered on, the display will show the date, day and time on the screen.

Date and Time Setup

To change the date and time, press the Menu key;

From the Main Menu, scroll with the ◄/► and ▲/▼keys until Date/Time is highlighted and press OK .

Date and Time settings

This screen allows you to manually set the date and time.

Use the scroll keys ▲/▼ to position the cursor in the Date or Time fields.

Enter the correct Date and Time.

When finished, press OK or highlight OK (M/<-) and press OK to save.

Press ESC to cancel the operation and return to the previous menu.

User Enrollment

To start user enrollment, press the Menu key on the F18.

From the Main Menu, highlight and select User Mng to add/change/delete users' fingerprint(s), password or role (Admin or user).

From the User Mng Menu, scroll with the ◄/► ▲/▼ keys until New User is highlighted:

Press OK to accept.

The following " New User " settings are available:

ID. NO (Account Number)

Unique identification number associated with each user.

Fingerprint (FP)

A user can enroll up to 10 fingerprints.

Password (PWD)

A user can enroll a password using 1 to 8 digits.

Security/Role (Purview)

Identifies a user as a normal user or an Administrator.

a) Add New User

From the New User Menu, scroll with the ▲/▼ keys until the cursor is in the ID. NO field:

Press OK to accept the default User ID, or manually enter a preferred User ID and press OK .

b) Enroll New User Fingerprint (FP)

Suggestions for proper finger placement;

c) The user's finger should completely cover the sensor. The finger should be placed flat and in the center of the sensor. The finger should cover at least 80% of the sensor as shown below:

d) The finger should NOT be placed in the following positions:

e) From the New User Menu, scroll with the ▲/▼keys until the cursor is in the FP field.

Notice: " Enroll FP " will become highlighted. Press OK to accept selection.

The following screen will be displayed:

Place the finger you wish to enroll on the sensor, ensuring the finger is placed flat and centered. Hold the finger still for at least two full seconds until the F18 prompts with a beep to remove it. You will then be prompted to repeat the process 2 more times, each time using the very SAME finger.

Notice that every time the F18 successfully records the user's fingerprint, each of the 3 green bars will become highlighted until all 3 bars ____ ____ ____ are eventually highlighted.

After 3 successful fingerprint "recordings", the user's fingerprint template is now successfully registered in the F18 database.

Press OK if you would like to continue recording additional fingerprint/templates.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that users register at least one finger from each hand.

Since the fingerprint sensor may have difficulty reading fingers with cuts or scratches, having a "backup" finger(s) registered ensures that the user will always be recognized by the F18. If one finger is temporarily rendered "unreadable" by recent cuts or scratches, the user can use their backup finger.

After fingerprint registration is completed, press the ESC key to return to the New User menu.

f) Enroll New User Password (PWD)

NOTE: A password is NOT required. However, a password can be used if a user is having difficulty having his/her fingerprint recorded or recognized by the F18.

From the New User Menu, scroll with the ▲/▼keys until the cursor is in the PWD field. Notice Enroll Pwd will become highlighted: Press OK to accept selection.

The following screen appears:

In the " Input Pwd " field, enter a password of 1 to 8 characters.

Then scroll down to the " Pwd Affirm " field and re-enter the same password.

After completed, scroll with the ▲/▼keys until OK (M/<-) is highlighted. Then press the OK key to accept.

Users have unrestricted access to the F18 menu settings (i.e. Add/Edit/Delete users). For this reason, we advise enrolling an "administrator" after initial installation to help ensure safeguarding both the F18(s) and the customer door entrance(s).
