1.1 Notice About Installing
This device is a massproduced product. It strictly tested comply
with the standard of China, U.S.A, and EU. This file contains important
information. It is better for you to read it carefully prior to use. If you
ignore it, the incorrect installation may cause the unit damage.
Although we could do our best to offer you service, the neglect to the
guide could cause unwanted cost for you.
1. Before installation, please make sure the power is cut off,
because it is very dangerous if the power is on. The short circuit of
power cable may cause the core parts damage.
2. All exposed part of connection wire end cannot be exceeded
5mm to prevent the bared wire accidental connection which leads to
device break down. And also suggest using different color cable to
connect.
3. In the place where the static is strong or in winter, please
connect the grounding firstly, in order to prevent the instant mass static
damage the device.
4. Connect power supply with device in the last for the wiring
connection. If you find any unusual thing occur, please firstly cut off the
power, then go to examine. Keep in mind: wiring operation under power
on will lead to device sudden damage; we are not liable for damages
and troubles due to such operation.

5. The height to mount device is about 1.41.5 meter.
6. After installation, please take off protection film on the fingerprint
sensor to get best recognize result.
7. After installation finish, when go to test the exit button, please
keep a personal in the outside, because sometimes the accidental issue
can bring on you that you are not able to go outside.
8. It is good to use more than 12V/1.5A independent DC power
supply for this device. It can reduce the electric interference between
the device with controller or electric lock, current ripple wave is less
than 150mV.
9. In connecting of the Fingerprint reader, 8shielding cable (RVVP
8X0.3MM2) is recommended to reduce the interference in the course of
transmission, please read and always follow "F11 Installation Guide"
closely. Because the wrong wiring will cause the core block and sensor
to burn out, lead to device breaking down, at this cause we are not liable
for any damages and troubles.
10. +12VDC power supply cable by twocore power cord (RVV
2X2.5MM2), If the distance between power adapters and device is too
long, please do not use the other type wire for replacement. When you
select the power wire, you should pay attenuation to the voltage decay
of long distance transfer.
11. Please use specialized RS485 cable，
the internationally popular
RVVP (shielded twisted pair) is recommended, Model RVVP
2x0.51.5mm2 (two core shielded twisted pair) and the active
RS232/RS485 converter to connect with the network, the bus structure
apply to connect with each device. When a long cable is used to transfer

signal, it is need to connect a matching resistance to each terminal, and
its value is 120Ώ.
12. Signal cable (such as RS485 cable) and highpower electricity
cable (such as AC electric, locking cable) can not place in parallel. If it
is necessary, please put them about 50cm away.
More details please see to the F11 User Manual, the appendix, the
other instructions and so on.

2.1 Standard Connection
There are three modes that the PC software communicate and
exchange information with the device: RS232, RS485, TCP/IP. RS485 and
TCP/IP modes support remote control.
The standard connection diagram shown below:
2.2 Device Installation
This product is designed for indoor installation, if it has to be
installed outdoor, please place the equipment in proper surroundings, you
must beware of not exposing it to water or harsh condition , we
recommend to embed the cable into the wall, if it isn’t capable to do, you
must obtain the user’s permission before installing.

2.3 Connect with External Equipment
To avoid the possible damage to the device, before connecting or
disconnecting external equipment, you should make sure to disconnect the
power cable first. Please follow the installation guide to connect the
external equipment.
1. Access Controller.
2. Alarm.
3. Various network..
4. Auxiliary communication interface.

2.3.1 Connect with Access Controller
As a fingerprint reader, F11 can not work alone until it connect with
the access controller. It is only a fingerprint identification device in the
system, and provide the controller with a standard or selfdefine Wiegand
signal. Such as others card reader we adopt the standard signal (D0, D1,
GND) connection mode (See Standard Connection Diagram).
?Notice: Whether the power of F11 supply by the access controller or
not, the two equipment’s GND must be in common connection. Do not
replace Weigand signal GND with power GND. To ensure the wiegand
signal transfer steady, please separately plot wiring.

2.3.2 Connect to Alarm
F11 can connect a alarm signal (Alarm) to system, which mainly use
to remind that the F11 has been dismantled. No matter what condition,
when it is removed, F11 will trigger alarm output in the power on state,
otherwise, the wire doesn’t send any signal. F11 will link GND through
the wire if the system be triggered, follow this principle we can achieve
the remind function of dismantled alarm. Connect the negative of alarm
power to alarm output, the positive of alarm power connect to the positive
of F11 power (See the figure below), F11 alarm output only support
12VDC alarm.
?Notice: There is a tamper switch in the bottom of F11. For details, see
3.2 Tamper Switch.
Alarm connection diagram shown as below:

F11 Installation Guide V1.0
?Notice: The power output of the alarm is no more than DC12V.
2.3.3 Door Lock Connection
The way of installing door lock depends on the type of lock and local
condition. Internal resistor which comes from long distance transfer
should be taken into consideration when selecting the cable of electric
power. The door lock should be installed reliable and stable. Ensure the
wiring is correct. For the strike lock and electromagnetic lock, you should
pay attention to positive and negative terminal connection. The unused
10
2. Installation
bare end of wire should be cut off and use insulating tape to wrap it. The
delay time of strike lock is adjustable according to different conditions.
Select electric lock：It is better to use electric drop bolt for the two
direction opening glass door (Both open to inside or outside direction). For
the single opening wood door in company internal, we recommend to use
magnetic lock, the magnetic lock also be called as electric magnetic lock.
The magnetic lock is more reliable than the electric drop bolt, but the
electric drop bolt is much safer than the magnetic lock. In the small living
community, it is better to use electric drop bolt and magnetic force lock.
The electric control lock gives out higher noise. The electric control lock
is commonly used to building communication. Now there is a soundless
electric control lock which is able to be applied. Please pay attention, the
lock is made of iron and easy rust, so you must beware of not exposing it
to water or harsh condition, there are some other electric locks available,
we don’t recommend you to use them.
Connect with electric lock： The Normal Open lock is open when the
power is off. The NormalClose lock is closed when power is off. The
device supports both of the two kinds of locks at the same time. The way
of lock connection changes with the type of lock. For NO lock, the NO
terminal will be used; for NC lock, the NC terminal will be used.
When the DC power electrical lock is connected to the system, you
need to parallel one FR 107 diode (Equipped in the package) to prevent
the selfinductance EMF affect the system, do not reverse the polarities
This access control device is powered by DC12V and the work
current is 400mA. If the lock work electric power is DC12V and the work
current is less than 1000mA, the fingerprint device and lock are able to be
powered by one adapter together, please refer to the table 1), 2).
11
F11 Installation Guide V1.0
In the following three cases, we recommend that fingerprint device
and lock are powered separately.
1. The working voltage of the lock is DC12V, but the current
difference of the fingerprint device and the lock doesn’t exceed 1A.
2. The lock voltage is not DC12V.
3. The distance between lock and fingerprint device is too far.

?Note: Please strictly in accordance with the definition to connect, and
connect completed, All exposed part of connection wire end cannot be
exceeded 5mm to prevent the bared wire accidental connection which
leads to device break down. in particular the red cable, as a 12 V output
voltage, when there is no an external card reader, in any case ensure to cut
this cable and use the insulation adhesive plaster to dress it, so as to avoid
shortcircuit.
