ASSA ABLOY HID EikonTouch TC710 - lettore di impronte digitali

Engineered for uncompromising identity verification, the EikonTouch TC710-A3-01 delivers FBI-certified 500 dpi capacitive imaging with live finger detection, capturing crisp, spoof-resistant biometric data in under a second. Its FIPS 201 PIV compliance makes it an ideal choice for government, healthcare, and enterprise deployments where security is non-negotiable.

Overview

The HID EikonTouch TC710-A3-01 is a compact, high-performance USB fingerprint reader built on advanced capacitive sensing technology. Unlike optical sensors, capacitive technology reads the live subdermal layer of the finger, ensuring superior image quality and resistance to fake fingerprints. The device is USB bus-powered, requiring no external power supply, and connects via a standard USB-A interface for broad compatibility with Windows, Linux, and Android platforms.

What stands out

• FBI IQS Appendix F certified sensor with 500 dpi resolution for forensic-grade accuracy.
• Live finger detection (LFD) prevents spoofing with fake fingerprints or latent prints.
• FIPS 201 PIV compliant – meets U.S. federal government standards for personal identity verification.
• IP54-rated housing protects against dust and water splashes, suitable for demanding environments.
• ESD protection exceeding 15 kV ensures reliability in static-prone areas.
• Blue LED status indicator provides clear visual feedback for user guidance.
