Unity 20 Serial

 

Unity 20 Serial is a low cost, fully programmable all-in-one fingerprint recognition system that scans, processes, and matches fingerprint data for identifying or verifying users. Featuring the industry’s most rugged fingerprint sensor, the Unity 20 Serial can securely capture, enroll, match, and store fingerprint data all in one device. Unity 20 Serial communicates via a 9-pin DB-9 connector and can be integrated into applications that need biometric authentication capability such as Point of Sale (POS) terminals, Time and Attendance tracking stations, and industrial equipment where a serial connection is required.

 

Unity 20 Serial with connector

 

Unity 20 Serial is a finished system that supports RS-232 serial connectivity and is part of the Unity family of all-in-one fingerprint modules with complete biometric functionality built-in, designed to operate without the need to process on external host systems.

 

What’s Inside

Unity 20 Serial is made with SecuGen’s flagship all-in-one U20-ASF module in an ultra-compact housing with a 20-inch long cable and serial connector. The U20-ASF module consists of a premium FBI-Certified FAP 20 fingerprint sensor, combined with a programmable Single-Board Computer (SBC) that includes onboard CPU, SDRAM, and flash memory. Unity 20 Serial is powered externally via DC jack in the serial connector housing.
