11.0  Master finger mode 
Master finger mode was developed specially for small locking systems. The biometric 
reader is programmed once and fingerprints can then be learned simply on the 
biometric reader itself. No distinctions can be made using different transponder IDs 
(TIDs), because no TIDs are learned in master finger mode. 
Generally, we recommend using SimonsVoss programming software for 
programming purposes. 
You can exit master finger mode at any time. To do this, all learned fingerprints 
(including the master fingers) must be deleted. 
Do not undertake any programming after a battery warning. Replace the battery 
before proceeding. Refer to chapter 15.0 Replacing the batteryFehler! Es wurde

11.1  Commissioning – Programming master fingers 
The following chapters describe in detail the programming process for master finger 
mode. 
Please note:
 The first two fingerprints learned are automatically stored as the master 
fingers. A master finger cannot also be programmed as a user finger (it will be 
rejected during the learning process, indicated by 4 red flashes). Unlike normal mode, 
individual fingerprints cannot be allocated a transponder ID (TID), i.e. the lock does 
not make a distinction between individual users. In master finger mode it is possible 
to use the biometric reader to produce an access log for all locks in the same system.
Please proceed as follows: 
1.  Create a locking plan in the SimonsVoss software. 
2.  Create ‘biometric reader’ as a lock
Æ
biometric reader. 
3.  Create lock (e.g. locking cylinder). 
4.  Connect the SmartCD to the PC and bring within communication range of the 
‘biometric reader’. 
5.  Highlight the biometric reader and launch ‘Programming  Æ Lock’ in the 
programming software. This is where you undertake basic configuration of the 
biometric reader.
6.  If programming was successful, the programming lightning symbol disappears 
from the locking plan for the relevant biometric reader. 
7.  Bring the SmartCD into the communication range of the lock.
