AFETY PRECAUTIONS

Below are safety precautions that should be observed when operating or installing a device.

1.5.1. G

ROUNDING

The device's ground connection must be properly connected to avoid damage by
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). The effects of ESD can degrade or destroy
semiconductor junctions of an electronic device. Earth Ground (EGND) is a low­impedance path to earth for the purpose of discharging lightning, static, and radiated
energy, and for maintaining the main service entrance at earth potential. Consult your
local electrical codes for guidelines.

1.5.2. E

LECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE

Bioscrypt recommends that Administrators inform Users of these points during the
enrollment process:

• Always use the Ridge-Lock to position a finger before touching the sensor.

• Always stand on the ESD-dissipative floor covering (if installed).

• Do not touch other people or objects when touching the sensor.

• Always maintain at least 12 inches of space around yourself when touching the

sensor.

• Do not allow articles of clothing to touch the sensor.

Bioscrypt recommends that Installers always follow these points (in addition to the
points listed above):

• When installing or working on a unit, always use a grounding wrist-strap that is
connected to a quality Earth ground.

• Check the device's cabling for ground faults.

• Ensure that the device's ground connection (located on the rear of the device) is

connected to a quality Earth Ground.

1.5.3. D

Do not install the device in locations where the device would be exposed to direct
sunlight, high levels of relative humidity, particulate matter, or flammable vapors.

Do not install the device near radiators or other heat sources.
Do not allow magnetic objects to come within close proximity to the device. Strong

magnetic fields might damage the device.
Do not let liquids contact the device.
Do not attempt to alter the device for any reason. Modifications will void the product

guarantee.
Do not attempt to disassemble the device in any way beyond what is necessary for

sensor field replacement.
Do not use the device for any purpose other than for what it was designed.

Part No. 430-4G-200-00-000

EVICE HANDLING GUIDELINES

1-8

Introduction

Do not plug any equipment into the USB port other than flash memory devices.
Do not allow users to place or hang objects on the device, such as coffee cup s or

purses.
Do clean the device regularly to remove dust, grime, and fingerprint residue.
Do instruct users how to present a fingerprint correctly.

Planning the Installation

2. PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

Planning the installation is the single most important aspect of a successful installation. In general, you
need to consider the access controller, the door locks, the devices, and the need for a network. By the
time you are ready to install the system, all of the details presented in the list below should be known.
Take a moment to go through them now before starting your installation.

During the planning phase, you should determine:

• What type of authentication is required for your application?

• How many doors need to be secured?

• What type of device will be on each door? Doors already inside a secure area might not need the

same type or level of security.

• If multiple V-Series 4G devices require networking for template distribution/management, then a
dedicated PC is recommended to administer the system, as well as an RS-485 to RS-232

converter, and cabling for serial communications or cabling for Ethernet.

• Verify that the chosen access controller supports the Wiegand formats supported by V-Station 4G
devices.

• Identify all wiring by the signal levels it is to carry. Use separate cables and conduits for

different signal groups to avoid cross talk. Plan to separate them by these groups:
Power distribution: Wires carry power to devices, door strikes, etc.

Data communication: RS-485, RS-232, USB, Wiegand, Ethernet, etc.
Signal: Door contact, request-to-exit push button, alarm input, etc.

• When planning device placement, determine the distance limitation of each signal type and use
repeaters if necessary.

• Determine the availability of a quality earth ground

• V-Series 4G devices are intended for indoor use only.

If you have any unresolved issues with the items on this list, contact L-1 EAS Technical Support
for additional information before beginning any installation.

Part No. 430-4G-200-00-000
© 2009, L-1 Identity Solutions Inc.

WARNING

V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices should be installed by only a qualified
technician. If you are not qualified to perform an installation task, call L-1
EAS Technical Support or contact a qualified installer.

Planning the Installation

2.1. R

ECOMENDED STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION

Every installation is unique. Sometimes the issues are well defined and can be handled in a
standard fashion; sometimes the issues are very specific and may not be immediately recogniz­able.

L-1 EAS recommends following these steps for a successful installation:
Plan the installation - Choose the type of hardware required, decide if a network is required, and

decide on the location and number of required devices.
Unpack all items - Unpack all items and check against the packing list.
Install network hardware components - Install the cabling and components needed to run the

HOOSING THE INSTALL LOCATION

V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices are designed to mount on either a double-gang electrical
box or on any flat surface. Consult with local professionals regarding any building and safety
codes that might affect your installation. The correct mounting height is shown below in Figure
2-1.

Factors to consider when determining the position of a device on the wall:

• Proximity to other switch plates or fixtures (the device should ideally be mounted in-line
with other plates or fixtures)

• Distance from the floor to the top of the device (L-1 EAS recommends using a height be­tween 48 and 54 inches).

• The device should be mounted on the knob-side of the door

• Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act if in the United States. Information

about this Act is available at http://www.usdoj.gov.

LAN DEVICE NETWORK

The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices feature a built-in single-door relay that allows them to
control a single door lock. They can therefore function on their own or as part of a larger access
control system.

System component selection is specific to each installation, but a minimum system would
consist of a finger-scan device mounted on or near an access point, an electric lock, and ca­bling.

A more complex system might consist of devices at multiple access points (each with an electric
door lock), a multi-point controller, networking, and a PC to run the access controller and Secu­reAdmin Server software.

HOOSE NETWORK TYPE

If your installation requires the use of network communications, then the choice of cable, the
cable run length, the network topology, and the termination of the network are important
aspects that must be considered. The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices can be networked
using RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet protocols.

Table 2-1, below, outlines relevant parameters of the RS-485, RS-232, and 100 baseT Ethernet
communication protocols.

Table 2-1: Communications Network Comparison

2.6.1. RS-232

If your system has only one device, or a few devices (each only a short distance away
from the SecureAdmin PC) then RS-232 can be used, provided that each device can
have a dedicated RS-232 port.

With RS-232 at 9600 baud, a distance of 150 feet is possible with shielded cable, but at
56 Kbps, a maximum of only 20 feet is recommended.

2.6.2. RS-485

RS-485 has two distinct advantages over the more common RS-232. First, it allows
you to connect up to 31 V-Station 4G devices to a PC with an external RS-232 to RS­485 converter (available from L-1 EAS). Second, the RS-485 specification allows for
cable run lengths up to 4000 feet (1200 meters) at modest baud rates.

An RS-485 network is required instead of RS-232 if:

• Multiple devices must be connected together so that templates can be
distributed among the devices

• The installation has only a single device, but it is over 150 feet (45 meters) from
the host PC.

Planning the Installation

2.6.2.1. RS-485 C

ABLE SPECIFICATION

V-Station 4G devices provide a 2-wire, half-duplex RS-485 interface. The main
cable run should be low capacitance, twisted-pair cable, with approximately
120-ohm characteristic impedance. Category-5 rated commu nications cable is
used in RS-485 networks and its characteristics are defined in Table 2-2 below.
This is the recommended cabling for RS-485 communications. The cable
connection includes a differential line (+ and -) and a GND connection.

Specification Recommendation
Capacitance (conductor to conductor) <20 pF/ft.
Characteristic Impedance 100 – 120 ohms
Nominal DC resistance <100 ohms/1000 ft.
Wire gauge 24 AWG stranded
Conductors/Shielding >2 pair (shielding is recommended)

Table 2-2: Category 5 Cable Characteristics

2.6.2.2. RS-485 C

ABLE LENGTHS

As outlined in the RS-485 specification, the total length of the communication
cable (adding up all of the segments of the run) should not exceed 1200 meters
(4000 feet). Although the RS-485 specification calls for a maximum cable length
of 1200 meters and provides a maximum baud rate well above that of the V­Station device, a more conservative system should be configured to no more
than 1000 meters and run at a baud rate of 9600 bits per second. After the
network is configured and is running in a stable manner, the baud rate can be
increased if faster network communications are desired.

Drops (down-leads, stubs, T-connections, etc.) to equipment are not
recommended, but if required, should not exceed one foot) and should use the
same cable recommended above. On a long stub, a signal that travels down the
wire reflects to the main line after hitting the input impedance of the device at
the end. This impedance is high compared with that of the cable and the net
effect is degradation of signal quality on the bus.

Part No. 430-4G-200-00-000
© 2009, L-1 Identity Solutions Inc.

2.6.2.3. RS-485 N

ETWORK TOPOLOGY

Communication cables for RS-485 should be laid out in a daisy chain
configuration (See Figure 2-3 below). Long stubs or drop downs and the star
configuration should be avoided because they create discontinuities and
degrade signal quality. The star configuration usually does not provide a clean
signaling environment even if the cable runs are all of equal length. The star
configuration also presents a termination problem, because terminating every
endpoint overloads the driver. Terminating only two endpoints solves the
loading problem, but creates transmission line problems at the unterminated
ends. A true daisy chain configuration avoids these problems.

2-10

Planning the Installation

NOTICE

The device on the end of the network should be terminated with a 120 ohm
resistor.

Star Daisy Chain

Figure 2-3: Network Topologies - Star and Daisy Chain Configurations

2.6.3. E

THERNET

If your system is to be configured for use over Ethernet, the wiring will be slightly
different. Communication cables for Ethernet logically form a straight line bus bu t the
more devices on that bus, the less efficient the network becomes due to increased
collisions, and the weaker the signal will get over distance. Repeaters can be used to
boost the signal strength; however, a better solution is to place switches at intermediate
positions along the bus. The most common Ethernet topology in use today is the star
configuration with a hub or switch in the center.

2.6.4. WIRELESSNETWORK DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

A wireless network of V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices offers several advantages
over wired networks, such as convenience, speed of installation, and less wi ring. If you
are planning to design a wireless network, consider these points:

Wireless signal interference - Metal masses such as HVAC ducts, fire doors, vents,
stairs, etc. disrupt wireless signals. Building and stairwell structures, as well as internal
building walls, also impede wireless signals. Some electrical equipment, such a s
microwaves, large-screen TVs, cordless telephones are also known to affect wireless
signals. Consider the proximity of devices to these objects.

Distance from access points - How far a device is from the closest access point plays a
major factor in determining the stability and strength of the wireless signal.

Multiple Access Points - "Repeaters" or multiple access points can solve signal strength
problems that may be caused by either distance or loss due to interference.

HOOSE POWER SOURCE

V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices can be powered by several methods:

• 12V DC regulated adapter/bullet jack

• Power Over Internet (POE) through an inline PoE 802.3af power injector

• 3-pin mini connector with dedicated power source.

Power sources should be:

• Isolated from other equipment

• Filtered

• Protected by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or battery backup

• Protected by a voltage suppression device if transient electrical surges are an issue in the

location.

When planning a system, know the power requirement of each device. If multiple devices are to
share a common power supply, exercise care to avoid excessive voltage loss on the wires. Volt­age loss can lead to communication problems when devices are talking and/or listening on dif­ferent ground references.

Voltage loss is directly proportional to wire resistance and the current the wire carries. Always
place the device as close as possible to the power supply and always select a wire size
appropriate for the load. V-Station 4G devices run on DC power between 12.5 and 24 VDC.

Power requirements for all V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G models are listed below in Table 2-3.

Power Requirement: 12 watts
Input Voltage Range: 12-24.0 VDC
Peak Current (12 VDC) 1 A
Peak Current (24 VDC) 500 mA

Table 2-3: V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G Power Requirements

Most power supplies on the market today provide good input and output isolation. However,
power supplies which do not provide isolation (or have high leakage capacitance), coupled with
accidental AC power line interchanges, present serious ground fault problems for installers. With
a ground fault, the signal reference between subsystems may be 115 VAC apart. If these sub­systems are interconnected, the large potential difference can cause equipment damage or per­sonal injury. L-1 EAS recommends using a dedicated regulated DC power supply.

All factory-supplied power supply assemblies are either switching or regulated lin ear supplies
and are isolated for safety and to minimize ground loop problems.

WARNING

L-1 EAS recommends using a single installation of SecureAdmin Server and
a single database per site. Multiple databases cannot be combined.

NOTICE

A SecureAdmin server cannot be hosted on a Virtual Machine.
The SA server listens for incoming connections from SecureAdmin clients on

TCP port 9005. This port is automatically opened as an exception in the Win­dows Firewall during server component installation.

If you have any other firewalls (software or hardware) between the Secu­reAdmin server and SecureAdmin clients that wish to reach it, TCP port 9005
must be opened and forwarded to the server.

V-Series 4G devices listen for connections from the server on TCP port

10001. This port must be opened on any firewalls (if any) between the server
and the devices it manages. This is unlikely in a typical LAN scenario, but
possible if server is offsite and managing devices at a remote site.

ALL-MOUNTING SCHEMES

The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices are mounted, by use of a mounting plate, either di­rectly to a wall or to an electrical box recessed in the wall. The V-Station 4G device can be flush
mounted only. The V-Flex 4G device can be either flush or recess-mounted on a wall. Refer to
Figures 4-1 and 4-2 on the next page.

4.2. I

NSTALLING A MOUNTING PLATE

The procedure for mounting a wall plate directly to a wall is as follows:

1. Hold the mounting plate onto the wall in the desired location, trace the square hole that will
be cut out, and mark the mounting screw locations. Note that for the V-Flex 4G, the large
square hole is at the bottom and for the V-Station 4G the hole is to the right.

2. Cut out the square hole with a jigsaw or drywall saw. If the V-Flex 4G device is to be recess­mounted, cut out a hole in the drywall to accommodate the rear extension on the device
housing.

3. Drill holes for the nylon wall anchors and install them.

4. Fish wires through the wall to the square hole.

5. Align the hole in the wall plate with the hole in the wall.

6. Fasten the mounting plate to the nylon wall anchors in the wall with the provided screws.

If the V-Flex 4G device is to be recess-mounted on an electrical box, a double gang box is
required to accept the rear extension of the housing.

If mounting the V-Station 4G device to an electrical box, attach the mounting plate to a single
gang box and use wall anchors on the remaining four holes for additional security.

To install the mounting plate on to an electrical box, screw the mounting plate to the box with the
provided 6-32 screws.

4.4. A

TTACH DEVICE TO MOUNTING PLATE

Once all the electrical connections have been made to the device, it can be attached to the
mounting plate as follows:

For the V-Flex 4G, insert the four hooked protrusions on the rear of the device into the corre­sponding slots on the mounting plate. Hold the device against the plate and gently press it in a
downward direction to engage the hooks. Insert the star-shaped screw at the bottom center of
the mounting plate and tighten with the wrench provided. Do not over-tighten.

For the V-Station 4G, hold the device with the top slightly tilted toward you, at about a 30-degree
angle to the wall. Hold the bottom of the device against the mounting plate and lower it so that
the two hooks on the bottom of the mounting plate engage the corresponding slots on the de­vice. When the hooks are properly engaged, the top of the device can be pivoted up against the
mounting plate. It will drop down slightly, locking itself in the closed position, and should be se­cured in this position with the star-shaped screws in the holes at the right and left ends on the
bottom of the device. Do not over-tighten.

With the securing screws removed, the V-Station 4G device can be pivoted down 90 degrees
from the wall, as shown in Figure 4-4, to allow access for making connections, etc. The device
can be removed from the mounting plate by tilting it at an angle approximately 30 degrees to the
wall and gently lifting it up off the hooks on the mounting plate.

4.5. CONNECT DEVICE TO EARTH GROUND

The device's ground connection must be properly connected to avoid damage by Electro-Static
Discharge (ESD).

To connect the device to earth ground, connect Pin 3 of the mini connector (located on the rear
of the device) to earth ground. This terminal should not be connected to the neutral, to the cable
shield, or to any other wire except earth ground. See Figure 4-5, below. The connection to earth
ground should use the largest wire possible (12 AWG) and be as close to the termination point
(water pipe, etc.) as possible.

When connecting the device to the network, the following procedures must be followed:

• Use Category 5 cabling with a characteristic impedance of 120 ohms for RS-485

networks. Category 5 cables with a characteristic impedance of 100 ohms can also
be used, but with lower performance.

• Cable manufacturers provide cables with multiple twisted pairs designed for this

type of communication (characteristic impedance is 120 ohm).

• Unused pairs within the cable must be terminated with characteristic impedance

(100 or 120 ohm) on both ends.

• AWG 24 should be considered as the minimum gauge.

• Choose one twisted pair of conductors to use for RS-485 differential connection s,

other conductors should be used for Signal Ground (RS-485 GND on Weidmuller
connection).

• The RS-232 to RS-485 converter must support Sense Data to be able to switch

from Send to Receive mode.

• Check each device's cabling for ground faults before connecting to an RS-485 n et-

work.

• Each device should have pin 3 of the mini-connector connected to earth ground.
After all devices are configured and connected to the RS-485 network, the baud rate

can be increased to the highest supported rate (some experimentation might be re­quired).

ONNECT DEVICE TO DOOR

4.8. C

The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices incorporate an internal relay that enables them to op­erate a deadbolt/door strike directly.

WARNING

The internal relay is limited to a maximum current of 170 mA. If the deadbolt/
doorstrike to be controlled draws more than 170 mA, damage to the device
may occur. If the deadbolt/door strike load exceeds 170 mA, an external re­lay must be used, as described below.

Do not use the same power supply to power a V-Series 4G device and a
door strike.

Assuming the current drawn by the deadbolt/door strike is less than 170 mA, the connections
between the V-Station 4G or V-Flex 4G device, deadbolt/door strike, and power supply for the
deadbolt/door strike should be made as shown in Figure 4-12 (on the next page). Note that a
snubber diode (1N4007 or equivalent) must be connected across the deadbolt/door strike to
protect the DC power supply from inductive kickback.

CAUTION

The snubber diode and DC power supply for the deadbolt/door strike are not
supplied with the V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices. The power supply
should be specified in accordance with the voltage and current requirements
of the deadbolt/door strike, but it must be ensured that the current to operate
the deadbolt/door strike does not exceed 170 mA.

If the current required to operate the deadbolt/door strike exceeds 170 mA, an external relay
must be used in conjunction with the V-Station 4G or V-Flex 4G device. The external relay must
be specified so that its contacts are rated to carry the current required by the deadbolt/door
strike, and that the current required to operate its energizing coil is within the 170 mA capacity
of the V-Station 4G or V-Flex 4G device's internal relay.

System Start-up Procedures

5. SYSTEM START-UP PROCEDURES

To avoid the need for difficult troubleshooting, system start-up must follow this step-by-step
procedure. Never wire up a system and apply power to it all at once.

5.1. S

YSTEM START-UP OVERVIEW

L-1 EAS recommends always following these system start-up steps:

1. Do not apply power to any device.

2. Check all wiring and device configurations.

3. Disconnect all devices from the communication line.

4. Check the supply voltage for correct voltage.

5. Power up the PC running SecureAdmin.

6. Power up the RS-232 to RS-485 converter (if installed).

7. Configure SecureAdmin.

8. Perform a ground fault check for the converter (if installed).

9. Connect the PC and converter (if installed) to the communication line.

10. Verify that the device powers up correctly, but do not connect it to the communication line.
The power LED should be illuminated. Check the power lines with a voltmeter.

11. Perform a ground fault check for the device (if using RS-485, see Section 5.4 on next page).

12. Connect the device to the communication line.

13. Verify that the device communicates with SecureAdmin.

14. If there are more device, repeat Steps 10 through 13 for each device.

EVICE CONFIGURATION CHECK

5.2. D

Devices must be configured correctly before they can communicate. Common pr oblems
include incorrect Host Port Protocol settings, mismatched Baud rates, and incorrect device Net­work IDs. Each device sharing a communication line must have a unique device Network ID.

System Start-up Procedures

5.3. RS-232

TO RS-485 CONVERTER GROUND FAULT CHECK

Before a device can be connected to an RS-485 subsystem, it must be checked for ground
faults. An uncorrected ground fault can damage all devices connected to the RS-485
communication line.

To check for a ground fault on the RS-232 to RS-485 converter:

1. Apply power to the RS-232 to RS-485 converter.

2. Connect the signal ground of the RS-485 line through a 10k ohm current-limiting resistor to
the signal ground of the RS-232 to RS-485 converter. There should be no more than 1 volt
across the resistor.

5.4. D

EVICE GROUND FAULT CHECK

To check for a ground fault on a new V-Station 4G or V-Flex 4G device:

1. Apply power to all devices already successfully connected to the RS-485 line.

2. Power up the new device but do not connect it to the RS-485 line.

3. Connect the signal ground of the RS-485 line through a 10k ohm current-limiting resistor to
the signal ground of the V-Station 4G device.

4. There should be no more than 1 volt across the resistor. If there is, find and clear the fault.

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 with each of the RS-485 signal lines (+ and -).

6. Connect the new device to the RS-485 line only if no ground fault is found.

7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices require very little in the way of daily maintenance except for
occasional cleaning and disinfecting. The V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G devices feature field-replaceable
sensors.

IELD MAINTENANCE

V-Station 4G and V-Flex 4G fingerprint sensors can be replaced quickly and easily in the field.
The following sections explain in detail the steps required to replace a sensor.

7.1.1. D

ISARMING THE TAMPER PROTECTION

The Tamper Switch is a momentary push-button switch on the back of the device within
the I/O cable interface pocket (see Figure 7-1).

The tamper protection feature allows the device to sound an audio alert, flash LEDs,
send a pre-defined Wiegand string to the control panel, or disable biometrics if the tam­per switch is triggered.

Figure 7-1: Tamper Switch Location

With the wall mounting plate mounted and the device secured to the mounting plate, the
tamper switch is depressed, closing the electrical circuit. When the device is removed
from the wall by removing the security screws or in the event that the device is removed
from the wall by force, the tamper switch opens.

To access the tamper-protection setting on the V-Station 4G device using the keypad:

1. Enter the Admin menu on the device by pressing the Left arrow and Enter keys

2. Key in the Admin password (default is "0000") and press OK.

Maintenance and Cleaning

7.2. C

LEANING

Sensors become soiled with residue, oils, or other contaminants d ue to contact with fingers and
exposure to the elements. The sensor surface should be cleaned periodically for performance,
aesthetic, and hygienic reasons. Care must be taken when cleaning the sensor to prevent dam­aging the sensor surface or surrounding components.

To clean the fingerprint sensor in a V-Station 4G or V-Flex 4G device:

1. Remove electrical power from the device.

2. Moisten (do not saturate) a clean cotton swab or a lint-free cloth with rubbing (Isopropyl)
alcohol.

CAUTION

Do not use chlorine-based cleaners, such as bleach, or chlorine-based bath­room or mildew cleaners. Chlorine-based cleaners will not adversely affect
the fingerprint sensor, but they could damage the electronic circuitry sur­rounding the fingerprint sensor.

Do not use solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, lacquer thinner,
etc. Solvents will not adversely affect the sensor, but they are likely to dam­age the reader housing or other peripheral components.

WARNING

Never use products such as abrasive cleaning powders, steel wool, scouring
pads, or fine sandpaper to clean the sensor surface. These types of cleaning
products will damage the sensor surface.

3. Rub the sensor surface with the moistened cotton swab or lint-free cloth. Do not allow the
cleaning product to drip onto any electronic components near the sensor.

4. Rub the sensor with a clean dry cotton swab or lint-free cloth to remove any traces of clean­ing product.

5. Reconnect power to the device.

NOTICE

Disposable ESD-safe wipes, such as ACL Staticide wipes, can be used to
disinfect the sensor and buttons on a daily (or even more frequent) basis. Be
aware that some wipes might not offer the same cleaning power as the prod­ucts mentioned above and thus should not be relied upon to thoroughly re­move all residue. Use of wipes does, however, helps keep sensor and button
surfaces hygienic and makes an excellent complement to periodic cleaning.
