ZKTeco FR1500 Flush-Mounted RS-485 Fingerprint Reader

ZKTeco FR1500 Flush-Mounted RS-485 Fingerprint Reader

The ZKTeco FR1500 flush-mounted fingerprint reader fits a standard single-gang junction box and sends fingerprint or supported card data over RS-485 to a compatible access control device. Its stainless-steel front gives a neat finish at an office or restricted room.

If you are comparing the ZKTeco FR1500 price in Bangladesh, the Touch IT listing is Call for Price. Ask for the hardware revision, card module, availability and warranty. This reader needs a compatible controller or master terminal.

Quick Highlights

• Use: Fingerprint and configured RFID credential capture at a controlled entrance
• Connection: RS-485 to a compatible ZKTeco controller or fingerprint terminal
• Mounting: Flush installation in a standard single-gang junction box
• Feedback: Three-colour status indicator and audible buzzer
• Power: 12V DC; published standby draw 0.72W
• Card options: 125kHz RFID on documented versions; others vary by module

Product Overview

The FR1500 is useful when the door decision belongs to a central controller. A user presents a finger or supported card; the connected system checks the credential and manages the lock. When planning an access control system, remember that the reader alone has no documented door relay or independent user database. Power, wiring, controller and lock hardware must be planned together.

Key Features and Benefits

Flush Mounting for a Finished Entrance

The FR1500 is intended for a single-gang box and a tidy wall opening. Its published dimensions are 121.3 × 77.3 × 38mm. Plan box depth and cable routing before cutting a finished wall. An optional fingerprint protective cover is documented; confirm whether it is included.

RS-485 Connection to the Host System

ZKTeco lists RS-485 communication and compatibility with inBio/inBioPro controllers and selected standalone fingerprint devices. The host handles enrolment, access rules and door output. Check controller firmware, reader port, wiring distance and protocol before replacing a unit. Wiegand or OSDP support should not be assumed for this model.

Fingerprint Sensor and Visible Feedback

Regional FR1500 sheets describe a 1.0GHz CPU, ZKFinger v10.0 algorithm, buzzer and three-colour light. One names a SilkID sensor with live-finger detection; a newer regional sheet names a Z-ID sensor. Verify the delivered revision before relying on a sensor-specific feature. Light and beep provide immediate feedback.

Choose the Correct Card Module

An older manufacturer sheet lists 125kHz RFID as standard, with HID Prox, MIFARE S50/S70 and HID iCLASS as options. Another regional revision groups card formats under optional features. A card working on another reader does not establish compatibility here. Share a sample credential or its frequency when requesting a quote.

Power and Environmental Planning

The manufacturer lists 12V DC operation, 60mA standby current and a 140mA peak while scanning. Its documented operating range is −10°C to 45°C and 20–95% humidity. The reviewed official FR1500 sheets do not state an ingress rating. Specify suitable shelter and confirm the delivered unit's rating before installing it in a rain-exposed location.

Recommended Applications

• Office entrances linked to a compatible inBio controller
• Server rooms and stockrooms requiring fingerprint access
• Reception doors where a flush-mounted reader suits the interior
• Existing ZKTeco installations adding a second reader position

A reader may serve an entry or exit point depending on system design. Browse the exit reader selection for other form factors. For a larger site, coordinate readers, panels and locks within the planned security system.

Technical Specifications

Verification note: User and fingerprint capacities belong to the connected host system, not a fixed FR1500 reader database. Ask for the exact reader revision, card technology, power arrangement and any protective cover before finalizing a bill of materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the FR1500 unlock a door by itself?

No standalone lock-control function is documented. It requires a compatible controller or master terminal to evaluate credentials and operate the door.

Does the FR1500 use Wiegand or OSDP?

The reviewed FR1500 sheets specify RS-485. OSDP is documented for the distinct FR1500S model; confirm the exact host and reader protocol before buying.

Which cards will it read?

125kHz RFID appears in ZKTeco documentation, while HID and MIFARE options depend on version and card module. Confirm with a sample card.

Is it weatherproof?

An ingress rating was not established in the official FR1500 sheets reviewed. Check the delivered hardware and protective installation requirements for exposed locations.

Does it store fingerprint users?

The system's controller or master device manages users and permissions. Size the host for your required number of people and doors.
