QUICK START GUIDE
Before you start programming the system with the help of this
quick start guide, the system must be mounted and wired
according to the mounting instructions and wiring diagram
supplied with the device. Please follow the steps below:
1.)
Make everything you need ready to mount the devices as
described in the mounting instructions supplied with the devices.
2.)
Wiring
Do not connect the system to the mains yet! The electrical
connection of the system can only be carried out by a
specialist!
Connect the wires as described in the ekey home wiring diagram
supplied with the devices.
3.)
Check the wiring.
4.)
Conclude mounting the devices. Close all the device housings
which you have had to open in order to be able to proceed with the
wiring.
5.)
Read carefully the following chapter
„5 Operating the finger scanner“
.
The correct
operation (i.e. swiping the finger over the sensor) of
the fingerprint scanner is decisive for the proper
functioning of the whole system.
6.)
Connect the power supply to the mains.
The electrical connection of the system can only be carried out
by a specialist!

5 Operating the finger scanner
The function of the finger scanner is to capture and analyze the image of your finger, and then
compare it with a reference template. Which part of your finger should be captured?
A finger scanner works like a camera. It makes a picture of the bottom side, the papillary lines, of
your finger´s third phalanx. However, this picture must be of good quality, so that physical access
can be granted whenever necessary.
Imagine you wish to make a picture of someone, and this person
keeps fidgetting
runs by and you try to make a picture of him at that exact moment
hides half of his face behind a tree
etc.
What do you think these pictures will look like? On some of the pictures you will not even be able
to recognize the person.
The finger scanner works in the same way. The finger scanner can only read all the information
contained in your finger, and consequently open your doors securely and reliably, if you move
your finger down across the sensor evenly and in the right position.
Let us now look at where you should place your fingers and at which speed you should move them
across the sensor, so that the „pictures“ of your fingers are perfect.
It is necessary to capture an image of the
3rd
phalanx. On the contrary, your finger scanner
will not function properly.
In order to ensure this, take care to operate the
finger scanner correctly. It is fundamental to
place your finger correctly in the finger recess
and move it down across the sensor at the right
speed. Ergonomically speaking the best fingers
are the index, the middle finger and the ring
finger.
The thumb and the little finger may
not be used!
5.1 Function of the finger scanner
5.3 Operating correctly the finger scanner
Place the middle
of your third
phalanx directly
on the finger
recess
pin point
.
BE SURE to place
your finger
exactly in the
middle of the
area between
both finger
recess edges.
Lay your finger straight and flat
on the finger recess.
Ideally, when positioning your
finger on the finger recess, stretch
the remaining fingers, holding them
close to the „swiping“ finger. This
helps keep the „swiping“ finger
even.
Now without changing the inclination of your finger, move it down
across the sensor (the entire hand). Take care to swipe your finger
at the right speed. BEWARE: The entire movement (swipe) should
take about
1-1,5 sec
.
If you swipe your finger too fast, then the status LED on the pin
point will light up red.
Do not modify the position of the finger phalanges during the swipe
(e.g. by bending the third phalanx).
There is no need to exert any
stronger pressure
. Move your
finger across the sensor as if you would wipe bread crumbs off a
table.
5.4
What you should not do
5.2 The finger recess – the control element
Place your third phalanx
higher than the pin point
Not place your finger in the middle
of the finger recess, or not place it
parallel to the finger recess edges.
Rotate your finger in the
finger recess.
Place your finger at a too
steep angle with the
finger recess.
The finger recess allows to place the finger correctly so that a finger picture of good quality
can be captured. It actually is the control element and consists of
pin point - sensor –
right and left recess edges.
Take care to
position your
finger as flat as
possible over the
finger recess.
If you move your finger across the finger scanner in one of the
ways mentioned here, then the scanner will not be able to
extract the information it needs about your finger image. It
will therefore not function properly:
Poor recognition performance:
You will have to swipe your
finger several times across the sensor before being able to
induce the door to open.
Reference templates cannot be saved:
You are not able to
save a finger in the system.

6. Programming the system with the
ekey home CP DRM
The function of the
ekey home CP DRM
in
ekey home
is to
program and parametrize the system. Using the
LCD display and the
4 buttons,
you can
register users and enroll their fingers
delete users
enter the security code
change the security code
change the relay switching times
reset to factory settings
…
The menu navigation is intuitive and very easy. You will
find step-by-step detailed explanations of each specific
menu function below.

6.3 Programming the system
Now start programming the system.
The menu
sequences for each single function are
explained below in this document.
Let us not
forget to mention the security code. You need it in
order to be able to make changes in the system.
The factory default setting for this code is
99. Change this code to another one of your
choice as soon as you have started up the
system.
The
OK
button allows you to register
values and move to the next menu level.
The
down arrow
/
right arrow
button
allows you set values and navigate in the
menu.
The
up arrow / left arrow
button
allows you to set values and navigate in
the menu.
The
ESC
button allows you to exit a
menu level or to cancel entries.
The LCD display guides you through the menu,
displays status information and allows you to
make specific settings.

1 Note on this document
The ekey home system consisting of
ekey home finger scanner
,
ekey home control panel
and
ekey power supply
is a biometric access control system available in different hardware makeups
and component combina tions. I t captures the unique fea tures (minutea) of the fingerlines, which
are then compared to the master templates saved in the finger scanner. To authentica te a finger
successfully, a certain degree of identicalness (threshold) has to be reached. Based on this, a
given switching actua tor is activated (relay output situated on the control panel). The system
has been primarily developed for opening front doors, apartment doors, garage doors, etc. in a
residential, corporate and limited ind ustrial environme nt. I t has to be ins talled in a f ixed
position, and in accordance with the accompanying mo unting ins truc tions and wiring diagrams .
