How to enroll a fingerprint
In order to improve the fingerprint authentication rate, register the fingerprint correctly. BioStation A2 can recognize a fingerprint even if
the angle and position of a user's fingerprint input change. If you register the fingerprint with attention to the following matters, the
authentication rate can be improved.
Selecting a finger for fingerprint input
• In preparation for the case that the fingerprint of a specific finger cannot be used, for example if
the user is lifting a load with one hand or a finger gets hurt, up to 10 fingerprints for each user can
be registered.
• In the case of a user whose fingerprint cannot be recognized well, the authentication rate can be
improved by enrolling the same finger twice repeatedly.
• If a finger has a cut or the fingerprint is blurry, select another finger for the fingerprint.
• It is recommended to use the index finger or the middle finger when scanning the fingerprint. The
authentication rate can be reduced if it is difficult to place another finger at the center of
fingerprint sensor accurately.
Fingerprint enroll method
1
When a message saying “Scan the fingerprint.” is displayed on the LCD screen for enrolling the fingerprint, place the finger with the
fingerprint to be registered on the fingerprint authentication unit and press the finger gently for better authentication.
2
When the re-input screen is displayed after a beep sound, scan the fingerprint of the registered finger again (scan the fingerprint of a
finger to be registered twice).
Cautions for enrolling a fingerprint
When a fingerprint is recognized, it is compared with the initially registered fingerprint, so the initial fingerprint enroll is the most important. Pay
attention to the following matters when enrolling the fingerprint.
• Place the finger deep enough to contact with the sensor completely.
• Place the center of the fingerprint in the center of the sensor.
• If a finger has a cut or the fingerprint is blurry, select another finger for the fingerprint.
• Scan the fingerprint correctly without moving according to the instruction on the screen.
• If you make the finger upright so that the contact area with the sensor has decreased or the angle of finger has warped, fingerprint authentication
may not be performed.
When the fingerprint recognition fails
BioStation A2 can recognize a fingerprint regardless of a change of season or finger condition. However, the authentication rate may vary according to
the external environment or fingerprint input method.
If the fingerprint authentication cannot be done smoothly, it is recommended to take the following measures.
• If the finger is smeared with water or sweat, dry off the finger and then scan the finger.
• If the finger is too dry, blow your breath on the fingertips and then scan the finger.
• If the finger has a cut, register the fingerprint of another finger.
• The initially registered fingerprint often may have not been scanned correctly, so register the fingerprint again according to ‘Cautions for enrolling
a fingerprint’.

Installation
Fixing the bracket and the product
1 Determine the correct position to install the bracket using the provided drilling template. Fix the bracket firmly using fixing screws
through the bracket to the position where BioStation A2 will be installed.
If installing BioStation A2 on a concrete wall, drill holes, insert PVC anchors, and fix them with fixing screws.
2 Assemble the cable cover and install BioStation A2 onto the fixed bracket.
3 Connect BioStation A2 to the bracket by rotating the product fixing screw of BioStation A2.

Power supply connection
• Use a power supply adaptor of DC 12 V (± 10%) with a minimum of 1,500 mA which has obtained the approval of IEC/EN 60950-1. If you wish to
connect and use another device to the power supply adaptor, you should use an adaptor with a current capacity which is the same or larger than
the total power consumption required for the terminal and another device.
• Use a separate power supply for Secure I/O 2, the electric lock, and the product respectively. If connecting and using the power supply to these
devices together, the devices may malfunction.

Relay connection
Fail Safe Lock
In order to use the Fail Safe Lock, connect N/C relay as shown in the figure below. There is normally a current flowing through the relay for
the Fail Safe Lock. When the relay is activated, blocking the current flow, the door will open. If the power supply to the product is cut off due
to a power failure or an external factor, the door will open.
• Install a diode at both sides of the door lock wire as shown in the figure to protect the relay from the reverse current, which occurs when the door
lock operates.
• Take caution of the installation direction of the diode. Install the diode close to the door lock.
• Use a separate power supply for BioStation A2 and the door lock.
Fail Secure Lock
In order to use the Fail Secure Lock, connect N/O relay as shown in the figure below There is normally no current flowing through the relay
for the Fail Secure Lock. When the current flow is activated by the relay, the door will open. If the power supply to the product is cut off due
to a power failure or an external factor, the door will lock.
• Install a diode at both sides of the door lock wire as shown in the figure to protect the relay from the reverse current, which occurs when the door
lock operates.
• Take caution of the installation direction of the diode. Install the diode close to the door lock.
• Use a separate power supply for BioStation A2 and the door lock.

Connecting as a standalone
BioStation A2 can be connected to the door lock, door button, and door sensor directly without connecting a separate I/O device.
• BioStation A2 can be used as a multi-door controller with the slave devices with the RS485 cable. The slave devices are used as dummy readers and
authentication is performed in the master device.
• If Xpass is connected to the master device, only card authentication can be used.
• The maximum number of slave devices available to connect varies according to the authentication method, number of users, and number of
devices. Also note that the number of slave devices affects the fingerprint authentication speed.
• A master device can control 31 slave devices. The bandwidth of RS485 allows for up to 7 fingerprint authentication devices to be connected.
• For more information, contact the Suprema technical support team (support@suprema.co.kr).

Connecting to Secure I/O 2
Secure I/O 2 is an I/O device, can be connected to BioStation A2 with the RS-485 cable. Security can be maintained even if the connection
between BioStation A2 and Secure I/O 2 has been lost or the power supply to BioStation A2 has been shut off due to external factors.
• Use an AWG24 twisted pair with a maximum length of 1.2 km for the RS-485 cable.
• If connecting with a RS-485 daisy chain, connect the termination resistor (120 Ω) to both ends of the daisy chain connection. If
connected to the middle line, the signal level becomes smaller and the communication performance will deteriorate. Make sure to
connect it to both ends of the daisy chain connection.
• BioStation A2 can be used as a multi-door controller with the slave devices with the RS485 cable. The slave devices are used as dummy readers and
authentication is performed in the master device.
• If Xpass is connected to the master device, only card authentication can be used.
• The maximum number of slave devices available to connect varies according to the authentication method, number of users, and number of
devices. Also note that the number of slave devices affects the fingerprint authentication speed.
• A master device can control 31 slave devices. The bandwidth of RS485 allows for up to 7 fingerprint authentication devices to be connected.
