BIO-64RF-Panel

Electronic biometric cabinet lock with an external fingerprint reader
Electronic biometric cabinet lock with an external fingerprint reader BIO-64RF-Panel
⚠️
INSTALLER GOLDEN RULES (READ BEFORE PHYSICAL INSTALLATION):
  1. Install brand-new professional batteries: Use exclusively brand-new 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries of INDUSTRIAL grade (e.g., Varta Industrial Pro, Duracell Procell / Industrial). Never mix used cells or use rechargeable batteries.
  2. Enroll a minimum of 4 distinct fingers: RECOMMENDED We strongly suggest enrolling at least 4 different fingers in the biometric memory (e.g., two fingers from the left hand such as index and thumb, and two fingers from the right hand). This guarantees seamless access even in the event of minor scratches, cuts, or when opening furniture with the opposite hand!
  3. Program and test all credentials prior to mounting: Ensure the lock operates properly, and that both Manager Fingerprint and User Fingerprints are configured, tested, and verified at least 3 times on an open cabinet door before physically securing the lock body, connecting the 10 cm ribbon cable, and latching the furniture!
  4. Understand the Reset consequences before resetting: Before pressing the Reset button on the lock body, carefully read Section 7 to understand factory reset behavior (all registered fingerprints will be wiped and the lock restores its factory default Public Mode)!

User Fingerprints Button 1 + Manager Auth Daily operational unlocking credentials for authorized users. Up to 100 Prints

Hardware Buttons on Lock Body Motherboard (BIO-S80A):

6. Operations & Mode Configuration

6.1.1 Mode Overview: The lock remains latched by default. Placing an enrolled User finger on the sensor unlocks the cabinet. The latch bolt automatically extends after 5 seconds, allowing the door to be pushed shut and latched securely.

6.1.2 Set Lock into Private Mode:

Press Button “3” on lock body for 2s
→
Prompts with di di & green light flashes
→
Private Mode Active

🛡️ 6.1.3 Enroll Manager Fingerprint

The Manager Fingerprint is the administrative root key used to authorize new user registrations and perform emergency overrides.

Press Button “1” for 1s → di
→
Place finger (1st time) → di
→
Place same finger (2nd time) → di di
→
Place same finger (3rd time) → di di di
→

Notice: One lock supports exactly 1 Manager Fingerprint. The Manager Fingerprint can also be used for emergency unlocking.

🔑 6.1.4 Enroll User Fingerprints (Up to 100 Biometric Templates)

User fingerprints are the daily operational credentials used to unlock the cabinet.

Press Button “1” for 1s → di
→
Place Manager finger → di
→
Place user finger 3 times → di, di di, di di di
→
White light flashes → User Enrolled
💡
PROFESSIONAL BIOMETRIC ENROLLMENT TIP:
We strongly advise registering a minimum of 4 distinct fingers per user (e.g., 2 fingers from the left hand and 2 fingers from the right hand). This ensures instant, guaranteed access under all daily conditions.

Routine Access Workflow:

Place enrolled User finger
→
Cabinet unlocks
→
Latch bolt extends after 5s
→
Push door firmly to latch closed

6.1.5 Delete User Fingerprints:

Press Button “2” for 1s → di
→
Place Manager finger
→
Prompts with di di & green light flashes
→
All User Fingerprints Deleted

Notice: After execution, all user fingerprints are invalid and must be re-registered. Manager Fingerprint remains intact.

6.2.1 Mode Overview: The lock remains unlatched when vacant. Any guest can place their finger 3 times on the sensor to lock the locker, and place that identical finger once to unlock. Once unlocked, the locker is instantly released for the next user.

6.2.2 Set Lock into Public Mode:

Press Button “3” on lock body for 2s
→
Prompts with di & green light flashes
→
Public Mode Active

🛡️ 6.2.3 Enroll Manager Fingerprint (Emergency Master Access)

In Public Mode, the Manager Fingerprint serves as an emergency master override allowing facility staff to unlock an occupied locker if a guest is unavailable.

Press Button “1” for 1s → di
→
Place finger 3 times → di, di di, di di di
→
White light flashes → Manager Enrolled

🔑 6.2.4 Guest Operation Workflow (No Pre-Enrollment Needed)

To Lock Locker: Place any finger on sensor 3 times → prompts with di, di di, di di di → latch bolt extends → push door closed.

To Unlock Locker: Place that identical finger 1 time → prompts with di → locker unlocks and is freed for the next user.

6.2.5 Delete User Fingerprint (Master Override): Press Button “2” for 1s → place Manager finger → prompts with di di. Frees the occupied locker immediately.

6.3.1 Mode Overview: The lock begins in a locked state. Placing an authorized User finger on the sensor unlocks the cabinet, which remains continuously unlocked for repeated access. Placing the User finger again re-locks the cabinet.

6.3.2 Set Lock into Limited Public Mode:

Press Button “3” on lock body for 2s
→
Prompts with di di di & green light flashes
→
Limited Public Mode Active

🛡️ 6.3.3 Set Manager Fingerprint

Press Button “1” for 1s → place finger 3 times sequentially (di, di di, di di di) → Manager Fingerprint registered.

🔑 6.3.4 Set User Fingerprint & Operation

Enrollment: Press Button “1” for 1s → place Manager finger → place user finger 3 times.

Operation: Place User finger → unlocks → cabinet stays continuously unlocked → place User finger again → bolt extends → push door closed.

6.3.5 Delete User Fingerprint: Press Button “2” for 1s → place Manager finger → prompts di di.

7. Reset Lock (Restore Factory Defaults)

The lock can be restored to factory default settings via the hardware reset button located on the lock body motherboard:

Press “Reset” button on lock body for 2 seconds
→
Prompts with “di di di” & green LED flashes twice
→
Lock Reset Successfully
🚨
CRITICAL FACTORY RESET CONSEQUENCES:
Upon completing a reset:
  • ALL registered Manager and User Fingerprints are permanently erased from non-volatile memory.
  • The lock automatically reverts to default Public Mode (unlatched state).
  • If you intend to use Private Mode, you must re-configure the working mode via Button 3 and enroll credentials again.

8. Essential Operational Guidelines & Best Practices

  1. When the indicator light flashes in blue, batteries are low. Replace with fresh INDUSTRIAL alkaline AAA batteries immediately.
  2. One lock supports exactly 1 Manager Fingerprint and up to 100 User Fingerprints.
  3. Biometric Best Practice: Always register a minimum of 4 fingers per authorized person (2 from the left hand and 2 from the right hand) to ensure uninterrupted access.
  4. Ensure the approx. 10 cm ribbon cable is seated securely in the motherboard header before closing cabinetry.
  5. Mode Switching Memory Rule: Changing mode from Private Mode to Limited Public Mode preserves all registered fingerprints. However, switching from Limited Public Mode to Public Mode clears user fingerprint memory.
  6. Verify all biometric enrollments and latch actuations at least 3 times with the cabinet door OPEN before closing and latching the furniture!
