During Standby mode, the LEDs turn on and off in circular

Reader is ready for normal use.

Read Mode
The Reader enters Read mode when a user presents a Mifare
®
card, followed by a swipe of the finger. The card and/or
fingerprint can have a valid or invalid value and / or match.
8.4.1
Valid Card / Fingerprint Read
When card and fingerprint reads are valid, the following
sequence occurs:
1. While the Reader is in Standby mode, a user presents a
Mifare card to the Reader.
2. A short beep (50 milliseconds) is generated, and the LEDs
will indicate a success flash, followed by all 3 LEDs flashing
in a fast circular motion, indicating that the reader is
waiting for the fingerprint swipe.
3. Swipe your fingerprint onto the fingerprint reader. When a
match is found, short beep (50 milliseconds) is generated,
and the LEDs will indicate a success flash.
Note:
If the user does not swipe their finger within 10 seconds,
the Reader returns to Standby mode and the user must
restart the identification procedure.
4. The data is transmitted to the Access Controller, according
to the Reader’s configured transmission format. The Reader
then re-enters Standby mode.
8.4.2
Invalid Card / Fingerprint Read
An invalid card or fingerprint read can occur when:
•
The card is not verified.
•
There is an error in fingerprint presentation (e.g., the user
swipes too fast).
