1.2 Product description
The biometric transponder differs from a standard transponder by
the fact that it is also equipped with a highly sensitive Atmel
Fingerprint Sensor. In just a few seconds, a high-powered
processor in the transponder compares the saved fingerprint with
the fingerprint read in by the sensor. In this way, only people
whose fingerprints have been already scanned can use the
transponder. This guarantees maximum security against
unauthorized use by third parties, e.g. if the transponder is
unsupervised, or is lost or stolen.
The Biometric Transponder is therefore particularly suitable for
applications where a transponder is provided with very many or very specific authorizations,
e.g. if one person has a general transponder for all doors or access to high-security areas.

2.0 Overview of function
2.1 Basic information on operation
The Biometric Transponder scans fingerprints using a fingerprint sensor. The finger is dragged
across the sensor, rather than being pressed against it.
The following should be noted:
The fingerprint to be scanned and memorized should always be dragged over the sensor in
the same way.
To do this, place the tip of the finger that is to be stored at the upper edge of the transponder
and draw it across the sensor bar from top to bottom (towards the button) at a constant speed
while applying a slight pressure. The design of the housing means that the finger is guided
properly through the slightly raised side walls.
The fingerprint sensor scans the fingerprint line by line and reassembles it into a complete
image in the integrated processor. If the reassembled image matches the saved image, the
transponder is activated.
2.2 Operating states
The Biometric Transponder has four different operating modes:
Mode Function
Standby The transponder is normally on "Standby" in order to save the battery
capacity. After it has completed a function (e.g. scanning), it always
returns to the standby mode.
Learn In the "Learn" mode, new fingerprints can be memorized. Up to 6
different fingerprints can be saved, two of which are what we call
"administrator" fingerprints. New fingerprints (user fingerprints) can only
be scanned in with the help of an administrator. The only exception is
the scanning of the first two fingerprints (Administrator fingerprints), see
below
Delete In the "Delete" mode, fingerprints that have been memorized can be
deleted. Individual prints can be deleted, or all fingerprints can be
deleted at once.
Recognise The "Recognize" mode is the mode before a door is opened. In this
mode, the Transponder is released if a fingerprint is correctly
recognized.

2.3 How the transponder works
You can interrupt the action in each mode by pressing the button briefly to change to Standby.
2.4 "Learn" state: start-up, scanning in fingerprints
Initial start-up - scanning in the first 2 fingerprints (Administrator fingerprints)
To start the Biometric Transponder, two "Administrator fingerprints" need to be scanned in
first. We recommend that a fingerprint from the left and right hand of one person, the
administrator (e.g. safety officer) is used for this; however, you can also use one finger from
two different people.

Please note:
The first two fingerprints scanned in are automatically the Administrator fingerprints. Without
them, no further fingerprints can be scanned in or deleted later!
To scan in and store the first Administrator fingerprint (e.g. left thumb), please do the following:
1. Briefly press the transponder button; the LED will flash green.
2. Then press the button again and hold it pressed for at least 3 seconds (until the LED
flashes yellow).
3. Release the button. The system is now ready to scan for 30 seconds, and this is indicated
by rapid yellow flashing.
4. Since quality or the fingerprint must be high for good recognition during every day
use, please make sure, that the finger to be scanned is not too dry (e.g. breath on
them before having them scanned in).
5. Drag your finger across the sensor. The LED goes off after about 1 second. Then the
LED flashes green once to indicate that the fingerprint has been accepted.
6. When the LED flashes yellow rapidly again, drag the finger to be scanned across the
sensor again.
7. Now repeat steps 4 and 5 twice again (so that you have drawn your finger three times
across the fingerprint sensor altogether). If an attempt has been unsuccessful (LED is
illuminated red), drag your finger across the sensor again.
Using for the first time – ‘learning’ the first two fingers (Administrator Fingers)
Once the fingerprint has successfully been scanned, the data is saved. This step takes about
2 to 5 seconds and is indicated by a yellow light flashing at 2 second intervals. The diode is
then briefly illuminated green, and the Biometric Transponder returns to Standby.
The Biometric Transponder can now be used by the Administrator, or other fingerprints can be
entered. Please note that the second fingerprint that is scanned in also has Administrator
rights!

Scanning more fingerprints (User fingerprints)
Further fingerprints (maximum 4 beyond the initial 2) can be scanned in as the Administrator
fingerprints have been, except that the Biometric Transponder must first be cleared for this by
an Administrator fingerprint. This prevents unauthorized persons from scanning in their own
fingerprints and thus gaining access rights that are not allowed.
While the Biometric Transponder can be programmed to recognize four user fingerprints, we
recommend that each transponder be limited to one person who scans two fingers, one from
each hand. If the user enters each finger twice it increases the ability of the scanner to
correctly recognize the proper fingerprint.
To scan in more fingerprints, please proceed as follows:
1. Briefly press the transponder button and wait until the LED flashes green.
2. Then press the button again and hold it pressed for at least 3 seconds until the LED
flashes yellow, then release the button.
3. Draw the Administrator finger across the sensor; the LED goes off and then flashes green
once after about 2 seconds. The system is now ready to scan for 30 seconds, and this is
indicated by rapid yellow flashing light. Drag the User finger across the sensor; the LED
goes off; after about 1 second, the LED flashes green once to indicate that the fingerprint
has been accepted.
4. When the LED flashes yellow rapidly again, draw the finger to be scanned in across the
sensor again.
5. Now repeat step 4 twice again (so that you have drawn your finger three times across the
fingerprint sensor altogether). If an attempt has been unsuccessful (LED is illuminated
red), drag your finger across the sensor again.
Once the fingerprint has successfully been scanned, the data is saved. This step takes about
2 to 5 seconds and is indicated by a yellow flashing light at 2 second intervals. The diode is
then briefly illuminated green, and the transponder returns to Standby.
Fingerprints that are already known can always be scanned in, even if 6 fingerprints have
already been saved. Unknown fingerprints are then rejected by the LED flashing red twice.
Tips:
• Care in scanning in is rewarded by reliable recognition in use.
• Scanning in the same fingerprint several times improves the quality of the scanned
features and thus makes the recognition of the fingerprint more reliable.
• Use a firm base when scanning in fingerprints. We recommend operation with one
hand when scanning in thumb prints.
• When scanning in fingerprints, drag the finger across the sensor in a straight line, not
too quickly, at an even speed and pressure.
• Make sure that the sensor is clean and that your fingers are not too dry (e.g. by
breathing on them before having them scanned).
6. Now repeat step 4 twice again (so that you have drawn your finger three times across the
fingerprint sensor altogether). If an attempt has been unsuccessful (LED is illuminated
red), drag your finger across the sensor again.

2.5 Querying the number of fingerprints scanned in
You can discover the number of fingerprints already entered as follows:
1. Press the button once briefly (the LED flashes green)
2. Press the button again and hold it down for 1.5 to 2 seconds (not as long as 3 seconds,
which will take you into "learn" mode).
3. The LED flashes red.
4. Then the LED will flash green as many times as the number of fingerprints entered
(maximum of 6).
5. The LED flashes red (for a long time if the maximum possible number of fingerprints has
been reached, or briefly if it has not).
If no fingerprints have been entered, the LED flashes red twice and then returns to Standby
mode.
Biometric Transponder: TRA.FP.INF2

2.6 "Recognize" mode: single triggering of transponder
The mode known as the Recognize mode is the normal operating state for the Biometric
Transponder. This mode is entered when a person whose fingerprint has been authorized
would like to open a door protected by a SimonsVoss RF lock.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button of the Biometric Transponder briefly (for around 0.5 sec.), and the LED
will then flash green.
2. Now drag your authorized finger over the sensor. Make sure that it is in the same position
as it was when you scanned it in.
3. If the recognition attempt was successful, the LED shows green and the Transponder is
activated.
If the LED shows red, the recognition attempt was not successful. You can now try three more
times. If these are not successful, the Biometric Transponder automatically returns to Standby
mode.
Please note:
• It may occasionally happen that the Biometric Transponder does not recognize your
finger even though it has been properly scanned in.
• If the fingerprint is rejected with a single red flash, the quality of the fingerprint trace
was not adequate. This may be due to the fact, for example, that you did not drag your
finger properly across the sensor (too quickly, not straight or not even) or that the
surface of the sensor is dirty. If a finger is too dry, it may happen that it skips across
the sensor. If this happens, please repeat the attempt, or moisten your finger slightly
before you do so by breathing on it, for example. With a little practice, however, you'll
soon get the knack.
• If the features of your fingerprint cannot be assigned to any of the scanned
fingerprints, the diode will flash red twice. You may have accidentally presented a
fingerprint that has not been scanned in, or you may have drawn this finger across the
sensor quite differently initially from the way you are doing it now (e.g. at an angle, or
with more or less of your fingertip in contact with the sensor).
Tip:
Not every fingerprint from a person is recognized equally reliably. If you are often not
recognized with one finger, you should perhaps scan in another finger.
Make sure that the sensor is clean and that your fingers are not too dry (e.g. by
breathing on them before having them scanned).

3.0 "Delete" mode: deleting fingerprints
Both individually scanned fingerprints and all the fingerprints can be deleted from the memory.
If normal fingerprints (not Administrator fingerprints) are deleted, the other fingers that have
been scanned in are not deleted. No Administrator fingerprint is needed to do this (any normal
user can delete his own fingerprint).
If one of the two Administrator fingerprints is deleted, all the fingerprints are automatically
deleted. The first two fingerprints that are then scanned in are automatically the Administrator
fingerprints again.
Fingerprints are deleted as follows:
1. Briefly press the transponder button and wait until the LED flashes green.
2. Then press the button again and hold it pressed for at least 3 seconds until the LED
flashes yellow. Release the button.
3. Press the button again and hold it pressed for at least 3 seconds until the LED flashes red.
Release the button. You are now in the "Delete" state.
4. Drag finger across sensor.
5. If the first recognition attempt was successful, the LED flashes green. If the fingerprint is a
normal one (user fingerprint), only this fingerprint is deleted; if it was one of the two
Administrator fingerprints, then all the fingerprints are deleted. Deleting all the fingerprints
can take up to 15 seconds. During this time, the diode flashes red every 2 seconds.
6. If the LED flashes yellow, the recognition attempt was not successful. You can now try
three more times. If these all fail, the transponder automatically returns to Standby mode.
4.0 Transparent mode
It is possible to switch the Biometric Transponder to what is called Transparent mode. In this
state, the biometric inquiry is suspended for 5 minutes and the Biometric Transponder can be
used as a normal transponder (doors can be opened simply by pressing a button). At the end
of 5 minutes or so, the Biometric Transponder returns to Standby mode.
Transparent mode is required, for example, for setting/cancelling alarms (if an SV Shuntlock
VdS is installed) or if several doors need to be passed through in a short time.
To enter Transparent mode, please proceed as follows:
1. Press and hold the transponder button (longer than 1.5 seconds, < 3 sec.). The LED will
flash green rapidly. The Transponder will now react to the button as if it were in Recognize
mode.
2. Drag finger across sensor (LED shows green if the fingerprint is recognised).
3. The Biometric Transponder is triggered and switches to Transparent mode. The LED
flashes red.
4. Pressing the button triggers the system and the LED shows green, followed by red
flashing.
After 5 minutes, the Transponder switches off Transparent mode and returns to Standby.
Transparent mode can also be switched off manually by pressing the Transponder button
before automatic switch-off until the green LED goes out (approx. 1.5 sec).
