Pin Configuration and Descriptions

The Biometrico AC-5000 features a terminal block for wiring connections. Below is the pin configuration:

Usage Instructions

How to Use the Component in a Circuit

1. Power Connection: Connect the 12V DC power supply to the 12V and GND pins. Ensure the power supply is stable and within the specified voltage range.
2. Communication Setup:
   • For TCP/IP communication, connect the device to a network using an Ethernet cable.
   • For RS-485 communication, connect the RS485+ and RS485- pins to the corresponding lines of the RS-485 network.
   • For Wiegand communication, connect the Wiegand D0 and Wiegand D1 pins to the Wiegand-compatible controller.
3. Relay Connection: Use the Relay NO, Relay COM, and Relay NC pins to control an external door lock or other devices.
4. Fingerprint Enrollment: Follow the device's user interface or software instructions to enroll fingerprints. Ensure fingers are clean and dry for accurate recognition.
5. Integration: Use the provided SDK or API to integrate the AC-5000 with your security or attendance management system.

Important Considerations and Best Practices

• Power Supply: Use a regulated 12V DC power supply to avoid damage to the device.
• Environmental Conditions: Install the device in a location within the specified temperature and humidity range.
• Mounting: Ensure the device is securely mounted on a flat surface to prevent tampering or damage.
• Network Security: When using TCP/IP communication, configure firewalls and encryption to secure data transmission.
• Regular Maintenance: Clean the fingerprint sensor periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain accuracy.

Arduino UNO Integration Example

The Biometrico AC-5000 can be connected to an Arduino UNO for basic relay control via the Wiegand interface. Below is an example code snippet:

#include <Wiegand.h> // Include a Wiegand library for Arduino

WIEGAND wg; // Create a Wiegand object

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication
  wg.begin(2, 3); // Set Wiegand D0 to pin 2 and D1 to pin 3
  pinMode(8, OUTPUT); // Set pin 8 as output for relay control
}

void loop() {
  if (wg.available()) {
    // Read the Wiegand data
    uint32_t cardNumber = wg.getCode();
    Serial.print("Card Number: ");
    Serial.println(cardNumber);

    // Example: Trigger relay if a specific card number is detected
    if (cardNumber == 12345678) {
      digitalWrite(8, HIGH); // Activate relay
      delay(5000); // Keep relay active for 5 seconds
      digitalWrite(8, LOW); // Deactivate relay
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace 12345678 with the actual card number or fingerprint ID you want to use for access control.
