ZKTeco FR1200 IP65 RS485 Fingerprint Reader

Overview

The ZKTeco FR1200 is a weatherproof fingerprint reader for outdoor doors and gates. It captures the fingerprint at the door and passes it over RS485 to an access control panel, which decides who gets in; it does not work on its own. The IP65 housing allows exterior doors, gates and other positions exposed to weather, alongside normal indoor use.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a system built on ZKTeco biometric controllers such as the inBIO series and the F8, or as an exit-side reader on an F18.
• It is a reader only: each door still needs a host controller.
• IP65 rated for outdoor, indoor and semi-enclosed positions, working from 0 to 45 °C.
• Its 102 × 50 × 37 mm body suits door frames and narrow mullions.

Key features

• ZK small-sized fingerprint sensor driven by a 324 MHz processor.
• RS485 communication back to the host panel.
• ID card module fitted as standard, so one unit covers fingerprint and card.
• Options: 13.56 MHz RFID S50/S70 IC card module, voice prompt and buzzer.
• IP65 rated against dust and water, on 12 V DC.

What else you need

• A host controller: inBIO series, F8, or an F18 terminal for the far side of the door.
• A 12 V DC supply and RS485 cabling.
• The lock, door sensor (door position sensor) and exit button for the door.
• The optional IC card module, only if you use 13.56 MHz cards.

Installation

An access control installer should fit it. The reader mounts on the frame or mullion and wires to the controller over RS485 with 12 V DC power.

Software and licences

The reader has no software of its own. The controllers it serves work with ZKAccess 3.5.

Before you buy

• It is a reader, not a controller.
• The IC card module, voice prompt and buzzer are options to specify when ordering.
