Overview
The ZKTeco FR1500S is a flush-mounted fingerprint reader for a door where a slim, neat face plate matters more than an on-board display. It fits a standard single gang wall box and reports to an inBio or inBio Pro controller over RS485, so users and access rules live in the controller rather than on the reader. Its IP65 rating allows outdoor and semi-enclosed positions as well as indoor doors.
Is it right for you?
- It suits a system built on inBio or inBio Pro controllers, or a standalone fingerprint device with an RS485 reader port.
- It is a reader only: it cannot control a door by itself.
- IP65 rated and -10 to 45 °C, so it suits a sheltered outdoor door.
- It suits a place that issues 125 kHz cards as standard, with HID Prox, 13.56 MHz IC or HID iClass modules as options.
Key features
- Z-ID fingerprint sensor driven by a 1.0 GHz processor on the ZKFinger V10.0 algorithm.
- IP65 rated, dust tight and resistant to water splashes from any direction.
- Stainless steel front casing with a three-colour indicator and buzzer for access status.
- Reads Z-ID 125 kHz RFID (radio frequency identification) cards as standard.
- Optional card modules for 125 kHz HID Prox, 13.56 MHz IC (S50 and S70) and 13.56 MHz HID iClass.
- Runs on 12 V DC, drawing 0.72 W on standby and peaking at 140 mA during a scan.
- 121.3 × 77.3 × 38 mm, flush mounted in a single gang junction box.
What else you need
- An inBio or inBio Pro controller, or a standalone fingerprint device with an RS485 reader port.
- A 12 V DC supply and RS485 cabling to each reader position.
- A single gang back box at each reader position.
- The matching card module, only if your cards are not 125 kHz Z-ID.
Installation
An access control installer should fit it. The reader sits flush in a single gang box at the door and wires back to the controller over RS485 with 12 V DC power. The controller then connects over TCP/IP to the management software.
Software and licences
The reader has no software of its own. The inBio and inBio Pro controllers it reports to connect over TCP/IP to ZKBioSecurity3.0 or ZKBio Access.
Before you buy
- It is a reader, not a controller.
- The HID Prox, IC and HID iClass modules are options to specify at order time.
- For a quote, tell us your door count and card technology and we will match the controller.
