Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and how should I power this module?

The module requires a stable 3.3V DC power supply. It is critical to use a clean, regulated power source to ensure stable operation of the Cortex-M4F core and the sensitive NIR imaging components. The included 3.3V adapter board can be used for convenient connection.

What communication protocols does this module support?

It supports both USB (Virtual COM Port) and UART serial communication (TTL level). The UART interface uses standard baud rates and is compatible with most microcontrollers. The module's command protocol is compatible with common fingerprint sensor standards, simplifying integration.

What is the meaning of the IP56 rating for this sensor?

The IP56 rating indicates the module is fully protected against dust ingress (IP5X) and can withstand powerful water jets from any direction (IPX6). This makes it suitable for use in environments where it may be exposed to dust, rain, or cleaning sprays, such as on exterior door handles.

How many user profiles can the module store?

The module has an onboard database capacity for 100 unique user IDs (finger vein templates). Enrollment and management of these profiles are performed via the serial command set sent over the UART or USB interface from your host controller.

How does the separated NIR light source work?

The near-infrared (NIR) LED light source is a separate physical component from the main imaging module. It must be mounted opposite the sensor's vein imaging window, centered and within a 50mm range. This design allows for flexible optical integration to optimize illumination and image contrast for vein pattern capture.
