Futronic FS83C PIV serial Fingerprint Authentication Module(sFAM)

FS89 FIPS201/PIV Compliant USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner

Futronic FS89 is an enhanced version of FS80 USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner from Futronic. It was certified by FBI to be compliant with PIV-071006 Image Quality Specification (view PDF) for Single Finger Reader. So FS89 meets the US Federal Information Processing Standard 201(FIPS 201) for Personal Identification Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors. It is also listed in the US General Services Administration (GSA) FIPS 201 Evaluation Program Approved Product List (http://fips201ep.cio.gov/apl.php). Check item 338. Futronic FS89 uses advanced CMOS sensor technology and precise optical system to meet the rigorous requirement on fingerprint image quality of PIV-071006. Its fingerprint scanning window is crown glass with a thickness of 14mm that resists scratches and other stress to ensure long term heavy duty usage. It is a robust but cost effective single finger capture device and ideal for border control| identity card| driver license| election and any type of civilian AFIS application. Special electronic circuit is built into FS88 to do Live Finger Detection (LFD). With appropriate software in PC| user can select this LFD feature so that only live finger's fingerprint will be scanned into PC. Fake fingers made from silicone rubber| play-doh| etc| will be rejected. And the LFD feature is included in all Futronic standard software. A unique serial number is factory-programmed into the USB Device Descriptor of each FS88. So every FS89 is traceable and this is very important for government identity management projects. Futronic FS89 provides Application Programming Interface (API) for FS89 to capture fingerprint image on the following platforms:

• Windows XP/2003| 32 bit and 64 bit.
• Windows Vista/2008/2012| 32 bit and 64 bit.
