1.2 Description of product
The Q3008 biometric reader is a digital ‘key’ (transponder), designed to be mounted
on a wall, which opens SimonsVoss locks by radio when it recognises an authorised
fingerprint. The difference between this reader and, for instance, a PIN code keypad,
is that it features a highly sensitive Atmel fingerprint strip sensor. A high-performance
processor integrated in the reader compares learned fingerprints with the fingerprints
read by the sensor. If the fingerprint is recognised, the reader addresses the lock,
which can then be opened. This system offers maximum security against
unauthorised use by third parties. This makes the Q3008 biometric reader particularly
suitable for applications where only a few doors need to be accessed by just a few
members of staff, or for additional security for doors or access to high-security areas.
For the system to be configured, the biometric reader must be programmed with the
SimonsVoss programming software and it must learn a finger. Then, when the
authorised finger is recognised, the appropriate lock is released.
The Q3008 biometric reader may only be used in indoor areas (IP41). The product
has its own power supply and can therefore operate self-sufficiently. Assembly is very
simple as there is no need for wiring.
Because of its modular nature, this component can be easily integrated into the
SimonsVoss System 3060 and like all SimonsVoss components can be programmed
with the locking plan software.
