The Veri-Series Product Line
The Veri-Series fingerprint readers are used in access control and
other related fields. There are a variety of features common to
the various products, but there are differences as well, as
described below. For more on the operational differences
between the products please see Basic Operation on page 30.
Common Features
The various products in the Veri-Series line have some features
in common such as both RS-232 and RS-485 serial
communications protocol support for connection to a PC,
Wiegand input and output protocol support for connection to
access control equipment, a wide power input range (9-24
Volts DC) except for the V-Smart (9-12 Volts DC) and V-Station
(12.5-24 Volts DC), and a requirement for earth ground
connection to dissipate static electricity (ESD).
Product Specific Differences
V-Prox: The V-Prox has a built-in HID proximity card reader that
negates the need for external Wiegand input, and provides
one-to-one fingerprint authentication. The V-Prox is capable of
storing up to 4000 fingerprint templates (a “template” is a
mathematical model of the fingerprint that is generated during
enrollment). The device can be mounted on door Mullion or
single-gang electrical box.
V-Flex: The V-Flex has all the capabilities and features of the
V-Prox described above except that there is no built-in HID
proximity card reader. Therefore the V-Flex requires an
external Wiegand input signal. The V-Flex is designed for
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 9
retrofit applications and for applications where a card
technology other than HID is desired.
V-Pass: The V-Pass provides one-to-many fingerprint
identification for small user populations (the system is optimized
for user populations up to 100, but can be used for populations
up to 200). The V-Pass provides fingerprint only identification –
no cards or PINs are required to use the system. The V-Pass is
also small enough to be mounted on a door mullion or a
single-gang electrical box.
V-Smart: The V-Smart supports one-to-one fingerprint
authentication by means of an industry standard MIFARE®-
compatible or iCLASS™ contactless smart card reader. The
fingerprint template is stored on the smart card, not on the
reader, so the user population is unlimited – simply issue a smart
card to each employee.
V-Station™: The newest addition to the Veri-Series product line,
the V-Station contains a backlit LCD display and keypad,
enabling template management and unit configuration
directly from the unit; a PC is not required. Variations of this
product are offered with an HID proximity card reader, a
Smartcard reader (MIFARE or iCLASS), or as a searching unit.
Also, this is the first product to offer Ethernet support. It is
probably the most versatile product in the Veri-Series.
MIFARE® is a registered trademark of Philips Semiconductors
iCLASS™ is a trademark of HID Corporation

Preparing Wiring
1. Wiring connections to be made:
Wiegand – should be 18-22 AWG (10-7 MWG) wire,
between 3 and 6 conductors depending on which signals
will be carried, shielded cable is recommended, and
typically the conductors are made of stranded wire.
Minimum connections: Data0, Data1, Wiegand Ground
RS-485 – use category 5 shielded cable.
Ethernet – use category 5 shielded cable
Power – should be 18 – 22 AWG (10 – 7 MWG) wire, 2
conductors.
Earth Ground – use a single wire with heaviest gauge
reasonable.
Warning: Do not use Power Ground as a substitute for Earth Ground.

4. [RS-485 network only]: Use a daisy chain network design as
depicted in the following figure. Do not use a star or other
multi-drop configuration.
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 14
Use one pair (e.g. blue/white and white/blue) for RS-485
connections. Connect readers identically at each reader (e.g.
blue/white on Cat5 to RS-485 (-) on pigtail/Weidmuller
Connector and white/blue on Cat5 to RS-485 (+) on
pigtail/Weidmuller Connector).
5. [RS-485 network only]: At converter, jumper TD(A) with RD(A)
and TD(B) with RD(B). Connect Blue/white from Cat5 to either
of A terminals and White/blue from Cat5 to either of B
terminals. Make certain to connect power correctly.
6. [RS-485 network only]: RS-485 supports distances up to 4,000
feet (1,200 meters) and/or 31 readers. To extend these
limitations, contact Bioscrypt Technical Support. Typically no
end-of-line termination is required unless the total run exceeds
2,000 feet.

7. [RS-485 network only]: Set up network using 9600 baud rate.
Only increase this data rate after the system is operating
properly at 9600.
8. [Ethernet network only]: Typically a star network topology is
used with a network switch or hub, but a bus topology may be
used. Be sure to connect all devices using straight-thru (as
apposed to cross-over) cables. The exception to this is when
connecting a single device directly to the computer Ethernet
adaptor.
9. [Ethernet network only]: Up to 254 readers can reside on a
single Ethernet bus, although repeaters may be required to
boost the signal over longer distances. The V-Station supports
10base-T Ethernet (10 Mbps)*. A 10 Mbps Ethernet network
supports distances up to 100 meters (328 ft.) between readers
(2,500m with repeaters). Bioscrypt recommends isolating your
network of readers from computers (other than the admin PC)
and other devices to maximize security. A firewall is highly
recommended if the network will include other devices or PCs.
For obvious reasons, it is not a good idea to expose your
network of readers to the outside world (i.e., the Internet).
*Ethernet communication is supported in firmware versions 7.10
and higher. VeriAdmin 5.10 or higher is required for administration
over Ethernet.

3. Configure the device using the VeriAdmin software provided
a. If running VeriAdmin for the first time, you will be directed
to the Network Setup dialog. This dialog is also reached
by clicking on this icon: . Select the serial (COM)
port(s) you intend to use or Ethernet and click OK. It is
recommended that you check “Auto”.
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 18
b. This will bring you to the Network Configuration Manager
dialog. First click on the Comm port or Ethernet within
the network tree which you have connected the unit to
(the or icon). Then click on the “Add Unit” button
(lower left).
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 19
c. VeriAdmin should establish communication with the unit.
The Unit Status field should indicate ONLINE, you may
hear the unit beep, and other fields on the right side
should populate. If you are connecting via Ethernet, you
must first assign the unit an IP address from the units
keypad and then type in the address under Ethernet
Settings and click the Refresh button.
d. If VeriAdmin shows NOT RESPONDING, check the
connections and then press the Refresh button to try
again.
e. You may assign the unit a name (default is “New
Bioscrypt Unit”) if desired.
f. The network tree shown on the left will show a small icon
representing the current unit , just below the icon
under the port you selected. Double-click on this icon to
open the Unit Parameters dialog.
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 20
g. Change desired parameters. Typical changes are:
i. Communication Tab: Network ID (default is 0, but
each unit must have a unique ID number such as
1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)
ii. Wiegand Tab: Wiegand parameters
NOTE: We do not recommend changing the Aux. port Baud rate at
this time.
4. Repeat steps 2-4 (skipping 3a) for the next reader until all
readers are configured.
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 21
5. If placing units on a RS-485 network, you will also need to set
up the computer for RS-485 communications.
a. Connect the RS-232/RS-485 converter to the PC’s COM
port (must support Send Data – a means of
automatically sensing data sent from the RS-232 port –
we suggest the B&B Electronics, www.bb-elec.com,
model 485TBLED or equivalent).
b. Run category 5 rated cable from the converter to the
first reader in the daisy chain.
6. V-Smart considerations
a. The V-Smart does not require an RS-485 network. There is
no need to distribute templates because the templates
are carried by the users in the cards.
b. One security aspect of the V-Smart is that a site key is
used to secure the information on the smart card. If a
card is presented to the V-Smart it uses the programmed
site key to unlock the data from the card. The V-Smart is
shipped with a default site key (a blank field). If the
programmed site key does not unlock the data from the
card, the user cannot verify their fingerprint. This
provides system administrators with a means to further
protect their facilities from unauthorized access.
c. If the system administrator wants to periodically change
the site key (to further minimize the risk of compromised
or lost cards), then this can be done through an RS-485
network or by making the appropriate changes to the
reader through the Aux port.
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 22
7. V-Station considerations
a. The V-Station does not require configuration via a PC.
Nearly all configuration options can be set using the
menus on the unit. However, it may be more
convenient to administer the device from the PC due to
the limited size of the LCD screen.
b. To distribute templates to other V-Stations, you will need
to place all V-Stations on a network and administer
them via the PC. Alternatively, templates can be stored
on the PC and transferred to each V-Station separately,
via the Host, Aux, or Ethernet ports.
c. To access some advanced features such as the
transaction log, you will need to communicate with the
V-Station from the PC.
d. Connecting to a V-Station via Ethernet should be done
by a network administrator or one familiar with TCP/IP
operations. The V-Station should be assigned an
appropriate IP address or be set to use DHCP*. Caution
should be exercised when manually assigning IP
addresses: it should be appropriate for the given
network and should not conflict with other devices or
PCs on the network. Bioscrypt recommends isolating all
V-Stations on a closed Ethernet network, both for
security reasons and to avoid conflicts with other
computers and devices on the network.
* DHCP may not be available in some firmware versions.

Mounting Readers On The Wall
1. The readers come disassembled, however, if your reader has
previously been assembled then disassemble the reader body
and smart card module (for V-Smart only) from the wall plate.
a. On V-Smart remove security screw securing smart card
module
b. For products other than V-Station, remove security screw
securing the Aux. port cover, and remove the Aux. port
cover by twisting (see graphics on page 25).
c. Remove #4-40 screw securing reader body to wall plate.
d. Remove smart card module (on V-Smart only) and
reader body by sliding up and pulling away from the
wall plate.
e. Keep screws and Aux. port cover for re-assembling the
device.
2. Define a location. A good location will have these qualities:
a. Comfortable height for finger
placement
NOTE: If readers need to be
mounted above 54” or below 48”,
please contact Bioscrypt for
available accessories to properly
readjust the angle of the reader for
optimal finger placement. Mounting
a reader above or below the
recommended height will not be
ergonomic for the user and will not
promote good finger placement on the sensor.
b. ADA considerations
48” – 54”
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 24
c. Provide clearance above and below for access
d. The access hole in the wall for wiring should be less than
1 ½ inches wide so that wall plate will cover it. It should
be less than 1 ½ inches tall if mounting into dry wall so
that there is enough material to hold the anchor. The
recommended size is 1 inch wide by 1 1/8 inches tall to
match the opening in the wall plate.
e. For V-Smart, the access hole in the wall for wiring should
be less than 4 ½ inches wide so that wall plate will cover
it. It should be less than 2 ½ inches tall if mounting into
dry wall so that there is enough material to hold the
anchor. The recommended size is 3 ½ inches wide by 2
½ inches tall.
f. For V-Station, the rear of the unit will protrude past the
wall plate and into the wall approximately 1 inch
(depending on the Weidmuller connectors attached).
The access hole must be exactly the size of the hole in
the wall plate (136mm (~5 3/8”) wide by 69mm (~2 ¾”)
tall). It may be helpful to trace the edges of the hole in
the wall plate in pencil before cutting.
g. Please see pages 26 – 28 for templates for the single-
gang and double-gang mounting plates. These
templates are dimensioned in millimeters (mm).
3. Make pigtail (or Weidmuller for V-Station) wiring connections to
power, Wiegand or other connections prior to mounting wall
plate.
4. For the V-Smart, feed pigtail cable from Smart Card Module
through hole in wall plate from the front and connect to pigtail
cable already wired in wall cutout.
5. For the V-Smart, connect Smart Card Module to wall plate.
Line up four tabs, push forward and then down. Secure smart
card module with the security screw at the bottom.
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 25
6. Feed main pigtail DB15 connector (not applicable to V-
Station) through wall plate from the back and proceed to
mount wall plate:
a. Optionally mount to a gang box using #6-32 screws
provided.
b. Optionally mount on wall.
i. Use 4 outer mounting points (6 for V-Station).
ii. Up to #6 screws can be accepted (screws and
drywall anchors are provided).
c. Use template provided to mark holes.
7. Attach pigtail to the reader
body (not applicable to V-
Station) and attach body
to wall plate using same
motion as for the smart
card module. Secure the
body to the wall plate with
the #4-40 screw at the
bottom. Replace the Aux.
port cover (see next page).
8. The RJ11 security cover is removed to install the reader body to
the wall mount. Once the screw is in place, the security cover
can be snapped into place using the following procedure:
With the textured side facing down,
1) place left tab into left corner groove on reader body
2) rotate cover until right tab easily slides into groove
Veri-Series Setup Guide
© Copyright 2005 Bioscrypt Inc. All rights reserved. Document #430-00111-18 26
3) with tab in the reader body groove, rotate the cover
clockwise until the right tab snaps into place at the right
rear corner
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3
4) Finally, fold the cover up and secure it using the supplied
security screw and special Allen wrench.
The following pages show the dimensions of the wall mounting
plates for the smaller Veri-Series readers (V-Prox, V-Flex, V-Pass),

1. Use VeriAdmin software to enroll a new fingerprint:
a. Make sure that the correct unit is identified on the main
toolbar dropdown.
b. Go to the Template Manager screen.
c. Click on Quick Enroll.
d. Enter an ID number. This can be the number of the user
card (prox, bar code, magnetic stripe, or other
technology) or some other number such as when using
the V-Pass or V-Smart.
e. Click on the Enroll button – User must place their finger
on the sensor when the light turns amber and leave their
finger on sensor until the light goes out. Use the
RidgeLock during enrollment to obtain a finger
placement consistent with what would be expected
during Verification. The ridge should comfortably fit in
the first crease of the finger.
Do not use thumbs for
enrollment or verification.
f. The enrollment will be
scored in terms of Content
and Quality on a scale of 0-
5 stars. Bioscrypt
recommends a minimum
Enrollment is the process of generating
data that the reader will store and use
to later verify your identity.
Quality is a measure of
how clearly the fingerprint
is shown in the image.
Content measures how
unique (i.e., curvy) the

c. When the light turns off, remove the finger and the door
lock will release if the verification was successful (reader
will indicate green for success or red for failure).
4. Cleaning and care of the sensor
The fingerprint sensor is a solid-state device designed to
provide years of trouble-free service. Although there is little
to do in terms of maintenance, a few basics in caring for
the sensor will help to ensure a high level of performance
over the life of the sensor.
Oily deposits from your finger accumulate on the surface of
the fingerprint sensor after repeated use. These deposits
can degrade the performance of the system. Cleaning
can be done regularly but is only required when a
significant amount of residue builds up on the sensor.
To clean the sensor, use a clean, soft cloth dipped in
isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Use a sweeping motion to
remove deposits from the sensor. Do not use a soiled cloth
or any abrasive brushes, pads or detergents.

Bioscrypt One Year Limited Warranty Policy
Bioscrypt warrants to the original consumer purchaser
(“Customer”) that new Bioscrypt products will be free from
defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date
the product was shipped from Bioscrypt. For replacement
products the warranty on the replacement unit is the remainder
of the warranty on the original product or ninety (90) days,
whichever is longer. The Customer is responsible for making any
claims for shipment damage (evident or concealed) with the
freight carrier. Bioscrypt must be notified within thirty days of
shipment of incorrect materials.
If a defect is discovered, Bioscrypt's sole obligation shall be to
repair or replace the Bioscrypt product(s) at its sole discretion at
no charge, provided it is returned to Bioscrypt during the warranty
period and is shipped freight and insurance prepaid.
Merchandise must be properly packaged to prevent damage
during shipping. Before returning a Bioscrypt product, contact
Bioscrypt Technical Service to obtain a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number. No product may be returned
whether in warranty or out of warranty without first obtaining
approval from Bioscrypt. The model number, invoice number,
and serial number may be required for warranty service.
This warranty shall not apply to any product or any part of a
product, which in the judgment of Bioscrypt, has been subjected
to misuse, negligence, alteration, accident, improper
maintenance, or damage by excessive physical or electrical
stresses. Tampering, such as opening the housing of a biometric
reader or replacing parts will void this warranty. The warranty is
void if the serial number of the Bioscrypt product has been

defaced, altered, or removed or if the product has been
modified. Repair and replacement parts will be furnished on an
exchange basis and may be either reconditioned or new. All

This warranty may also be voided for failure to comply with
Bioscrypt’s return policy.
The warranty is not applicable to:
Abnormal wear and tear
Damage caused during installation

authorized by Bioscrypt
Damage caused by improper packaging

Merchandise that is determined to be stolen
All Veri-Series units have an operating temperature range of 0°-60°
Celsius (32°-140° Fahrenheit). In addition, the Veri-Series product
line has a relative humidity operating range of 0-95% non-
condensing. Any device used outside that temperature or
humidity range requires an enclosure with thermal or humidity
control that can maintain a consistent environment within the
stated operating ranges.
The newest Bioscrypt Veri-Series products are designed to be
weather resistant but no sensor technology exists today that can
work in all weather environments. If a Bioscrypt Veri-Series product
is not used in a completely indoor environment, then a protective
enclosure is required to shield the unit from moisture, dust, other
contaminants and temperatures outside the stated operating
Veri-Series Setup Guide

range. Product failures resulting from exposure to these
conditions are not covered under the product warranty.
For outdoor installations, Bioscrypt does offer an enclosure to
protect the device from exposure to moisture, dust, other
contaminants and temperatures outside stated operating range.
To maintain the Bioscrypt warranty, the Veri-Series unit must be
installed in a Bioscrypt certified outdoor enclosure. When used
properly, this enclosure will protect Veri-Series devices in most
environments, but not all. The Customer is responsible for
determining whether the offered enclosure will appropriately
shield Veri-Series devices in their specific installation. Product
failures resulting from exposure to moisture, dust, other
contaminants and temperatures outside stated operating range,
even if an enclosure is used, are not covered under the product
warranty.
This warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all others, whether oral or
written, expressed or implied. Bioscrypt specifically disclaims any
and all implied warranties, including without limitation, warranties
of merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose. No
Bioscrypt dealer, agent, or employee is authorized to make any
modification, extension or addition to this warranty.

Bioscrypt Return Policy and Procedures
Bioscrypt must be notified within thirty days of the date that a
defect is discovered. Bioscrypt will then issue a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number which the Customer must include
with all correspondence and display on the outside of the
shipping container when returning the product. Any products
returned later than 30 days after issuance of an RMA may be
subject to review as to whether the authorization to return is still
warranted.
All Bioscrypt products must be shipped freight and insurance
prepaid, in the original shipping container or equivalent. A written
description of the defect together with a copy of the invoice and
the name of the Dealer who sold the Bioscrypt product must be
shipped with the product. All defects must be reproducible at
Bioscrypt’s location to qualify for this limited warranty.
For shipping addresses and return authorization contact Bioscrypt
Technical Support. Warranty repairs do not re-initiate the
warranty period. For repaired or replaced products the warranty
on the replacement unit is the remainder of the warranty on the
original product or 90 days, whichever is longer.
Bioscrypt will return a repaired or replacement product via
ground freight and insurance prepaid. If the Customer desires an
airfreight or other expedited return shipping method, then they
must agree to pay for the expedited shipping. Returned products
that are found to be free of defects may be subject to a $150.00
handling fee and will be returned at the Customer’s expense.

Carefully read the following regarding billable repairs:
By shipping product to Bioscrypt using the RMA provided by the
Technical Support Department, you are agreeing to the following
terms:
For all non-warranty repairs or billable repairs, the customer will be
responsible for charges associated with parts, labor and
shipping/freight to and from the Bioscrypt repair facility. Once the
product is evaluated/inspected by a repair technician, Bioscrypt
will provide the customer with an estimate of the aforementioned
charges.
If any discrepancies arise between the final cost and the initial
estimate, the customer will be notified.
The customer shall approve any estimate for non-warranty repairs
or billable repairs and shall pay the estimated charges before the
equipment is repaired. In the event the customer fails to either:
(a) pay the estimated charges within 60 days of such estimate; or
(b) arrange for return of the un-repaired equipment to the
customer at customer’s cost, Bioscrypt will consider the
equipment abandoned and will dispose of the equipment.
