The eSSL F18 is an innovative biometric fingerprint reader designed for access control applications, offering unparalleled performance through its advanced algorithm for reliability, precision, and excellent matching speed. This device integrates a commercial-based fingerprint matching algorithm with a high-performance, high-image quality infrared detection fingerprint sensor. The F18 provides extensive flexibility, allowing it to be installed standalone or with any third-party access control panels that support standard Wiegand signals. All operations can be performed on its TFT-LCD color screen. The fingerprint image is displayed on the screen, guiding the user to place their finger in the proper position and increasing recognition rates. It supports TCP/IP and RS485 for network communication, and its auto-discovery tool simplifies network parameter settings and modifications.
Function Description:
The F18 primarily functions as a biometric access control device, using fingerprints, passwords, or cards for user verification. It supports various operational modes, including 1:1 matching (User ID + fingerprint) and 1:N matching (fingerprint only). The device can store user information, attendance records, and system settings. It also includes features for managing users, access control options, communication settings, system parameters, data management, firmware upgrades, display settings, time management, and auto-testing of device components.
