Introduction
Cansec's Zodiac Max Fingerprint Reader is the perfect solution for eliminating the cost of conventional access cards while implementing the highest level of security available for up to 4,000 users. With a built-in keypad and LCD screen for prompts, Zodiac Max provides a simple and intuitive interface for both users and administrators. Authentication is performed by first entering a Personal Identification Number (PIN) followed by the presentation of an enrolled finger. After successful authentication, the user’s ID is transmitted to the host access control system for the final door access decision. By using 1 to 1 authentication, Max will always authenticate users quickly while eliminating the possibility of false acceptance.
Centralized Template Management
Zodiac Max readers are connected to a host PC running the included enrollment software. Users are enrolled centrally at this PC using a USB desktop fingerprint scanner. Max software can also be deployed in a multi-client configuration where multiple enrollment stations are required.
Max readers are connected to the PC on an RS-485 communications bus. An optional TCP/IP Module is also available which allows Max readers to be connected over existing LAN networks.

Bypass Feature
If for some unforeseen reason, a user cannot be enrolled or the system administrator wishes to allow access to selected individuals without biometric authentication, a user can be issued a 5-8 digit Bypass Code. Users entering a Bypass Code will not be required to scan their finger.
Connection to Existing Access Control Systems
Zodiac Max features a standard 26 bit Wiegand interface with programmable Facility Code for easy integration into most access control
and time & attendance systems. Once a user has authenticated on a Max reader, the user’s ID and Facility Code are transmitted to the host access system in standard Wiegand card format.
Secure Almost Anything!
Zodiac Max can be used for many other applications besides traditional door access control. An optional Relay Module can be used to control access to just about anything such as lockers, safes, or even machinery.
Conclusion
Zodiac Max is the perfect solution for eliminating the cost of buying and managing access cards while implementing a secure yet
convenient security solution.
