Initial Setup
› On a new unit, all fingerprint indexes are unused.
› When a new unit is powered up, it will immediately go into the Initial Setup
menu. The menu consists of a number of options that can be selected or
turned on / off, and requires numeric values to be entered using the keypad.
The initial setup of each db Nexus unit is very simple and should only take a couple
of minutes.
When the unit is powered-up, you should see the following on the Head Unit's LCD:
LCD CONTRAST
(0-9):[0] #=DONE
› Using the keypad on the Head Unit enter a value 0 thru 9 to set your
preferred contrast for the LCD display. You will see the contrast change as
each value is selected. If the chosen contrast is not correct, try a different
value until you have the desired contrast.
› Once you have the desired contrast, press the # key.
The next screen on the Head Unit LCD will be:
<Blank Line>
ENTER PASSWORD
› Enter a 16-digit numeric password. This is used for the code hopping
encryption that operates between the Head Unit and Control Unit and also
between the Control Unit and PC software.
Note: This same password must also be entered into the Management
Software, so please make a record of the password before entering it.
› Following the 16th digit being entered, the Head Unit will display the entered
password on the top line of the LCD and display [#]=DONE on the bottom
line. The cursor will move to the # character to allow you to review the
password. If you are certain that the password has been entered correctly
press the # key. If you want to change the password, use the * key as a
back-space to delete the password entered.
Note: This value cannot be re-entered. This is a one-time only process.
The next stage is to optionally enroll 2 managers onto the unit for testing purposes.
The following messages will be displayed on the Head Unit LCD:
ENROLL MANAGERS?
YES=1 NO=0
It is highly recommended that you enroll the 2 managers at the Head Unit for testing
purposes. If you choose not to enroll managers via the Head Unit at this point, the

The db Nexus and db Tracker units have a comprehensive series of on-board menus.
The entire range of menu options that are available on the db Sentry unit are also
available on the db Nexus and db Tracker units.
It is recommended that most configuration and user enrollment for the db Nexus is
done via the DAS Management Software and not using the menus. The one
exception to this is setting the IP address of the db Nexus unit. To set the IP address
of the db Nexus unit, follow the steps in Setting the IP Address Via the Menus.
Menu Overview
Diagrams of the menus can be found in Appendix 1.
The menus are very intuitive and easy to follow. If a menu item is asking for
a value to be entered, it will show you the range of acceptable values.
If a decision need to be made in the menus, 1=Yes and 0=No is the rule to
follow. Again, this will be displayed on the unit's LCD.
If you see an item that is enclosed in [] (square parentheses), this indicates
the currently selected setting. To retain the current setting, you can press the
# key. For example if the YES option is selected the display would show the
square brackets as such [YES=1].
If you ever need to go back to a previous menu item or back-space or exit a
menu, the * key can be used.

Head Unit Problems
Problem
The following message is displayed on the Head Unit LCD:
BASE STATUS:
CANNOT CONNECT
Solution
There is a communication problem between the Head Unit and Control Unit. The
most common cause of this is a cabling problem. Check the cable that connects the
Head and Control Units together. Ensure the cable is wired "straight-thru", i.e.
Terminal A on the Head is connected to terminal A on the Control Unit, terminal B is
connected to terminal B, etc.
The following message is displayed on the Head Unit LCD:
SCANNER STATUS:
INIT. FAILED
followed by
SCANNER STATUS:
'#' TO CONTINUE
Solution
There is a problem with the Head Unit microcontroller communicating with the
Fingerprint Scanner. It's possible that the cable inside the Head Unit that connects
the main PCB to the Fingerprint Scanner was disturbed during installation. The cable
should be attached to the connector located at the bottom left of the main PCB inside
the Head Unit and is labeled "Sensor". Power the unit down and check this cable is
properly seated at both ends.
Digitus Biometrics, Inc.
User Manual - Models: dbNEXII, dbNEXIII, dbSAI, dbTRI
Page 23 of 27
If after powering the unit back up, the same message is displayed, contact your
vendor for support.
The following message is displayed on the Head Unit LCD:
RFID STATUS:
INIT. FAILED
Solution
If you have purchased a unit that only has a Fingerprint Scanner and Keypad
installed, with no RFID module, this message is normal.
If you have purchased a unit with RFID, there is a problem with the Head Unit
microcontroller communicating with the RFID Module. It's possible that the cable
inside the Head Unit that connects the main PCB to the RFID Module was disturbed
during installation. The cable should be attached to the connector located at the left
edge of the main PCB inside the Head Unit and is labeled "RFID". Power the unit
down and check this cable is properly seated at both ends.
If after powering the unit back up, the same message is displayed, contact your
vendor for support.
The Control Unit powers up but the Head Unit does not.
Digitus Biometrics, Inc.
User Manual - Models: dbNEXII, dbNEXIII, dbSAI, dbTRI
Page 24 of 27
Solution
There may be a wiring problem between the Head Unit and Control Unit. Check the
cable that connects the Head and Control Units together. Ensure the cable is wired
"straight-thru", i.e. Terminal A on the Head is connected to terminal A on the Control
Unit, terminal B is connected to terminal B, etc. The 2 wires that supply power are
terminals A and B.
There is fuse between the Control Unit and Base Unit. The fuse may have blown.
Remove the fuse from the fuse holder, located on the main PCB inside the Control
Unit. The fuse is labeled "HEAD 1A-FAST". Check the fuse with a Ohm Meter to see if
it has blown. Replace the fuse with a 1Amp Fast Blow Fuse if necessary.
If neither of these solutions solve the problem, contact your vendor for support.
Control Unit Problems
Problem
The Control Unit does not power up.
Solution
The external power-supply may be bad. Using a Volt Meter, check the input voltage
on terminals V- and V+ on the POWER connector is the Control Unit. If you are not
seeing the specified voltage output of the power supply, the power supply needs
replacing.
If the input voltage is correct, the input fuse may have blown. Remove the fuse from
the fuse holder, located on the main PCB inside the Control Unit. The fuse is labeled
"BASE 2A-SLO BLO". Check the fuse with a Ohm Meter to see if it has blown. Replace
the fuse with a 2Amp Slow Blow Fuse if necessary.
When you power the Control Unit up you hear a constant clicking sound from a relay
inside the Control Unit..
Solution
Immediately power the Control Unit down and check that the battery cables have not
been reversed. The Positive side of the battery (RED in color) should be connected to
the B+ terminal on the POWER connector. The Negative side of the battery (BLACK
in color) should be connected to the B- terminal on the POWER connector.
If the battery is wired incorrectly, correct the problem and power the Control Unit up
again. Depending on how long the unit was powered up with the battery cables being
reversed, permanent damage may have occurred to the Control Unit and/or battery.
If the Control Unit will not power up, even after changing the input fuse, contact
your vendor for support.

Page 25 of 27
Problem
When you power the Control Unit up you hear the buzzer sound for 1 second, the
buzzer turns off and them immediately turns back on and stays on.
Solution
One of 3 conditions can cause this:
1.) The Tamper Circuit on the Head Unit is open. This can be because the switch
inside the Head Unit isn't properly closed, or because there is a wiring problem
between the Control Unit and the Head Unit.
Check the Head Unit is correctly screwed together.
Check the switch lever on the PCB inside the Head Unit (labeled SW1) isn't
damaged.
Check that the cable connecting the Head Unit to the Control Unit isn't interfering
with the switch lever.
There may be a wiring problem between the Head Unit and Control Unit. Check
the cable that connects the Head and Control Units together. Ensure the cable is
wired "straight-thru", i.e. Terminal A on the Head is connected to terminal A on
the Control Unit, terminal B is connected to terminal B, etc. The 2 wires that are
used for the tamper circuit are terminals G and H.
2.) The Door Sensor Circuit is open.
Refer to the Door Sensor section of the Installation Manual.
Ensure that the Jumpers are set correctly, according to the type of sensor being
used.
If a door sensor is not being used, ensure that the Door Sensor inputs (labeled
OPEN and GND) on the DOOR connector are connected together (refer to
Installation Manual).
3.) The Normally Closed Fire Circuit is open.
Refer to the Fire Panel Integration section of the Installation Manual.
If a normally closed fire circuit is not being used, ensure that the terminals
labeled GND and NC on the FIRE connector are connected together (refer to
Installation Manual).
When you power the Control Unit up you hear the door relay click open and stay
open.

Page 26 of 27
Solution
The jumper on the Control Unit PCB is set incorrectly or is missing. Refer to the Door
Sensor section of the Installation Manual for correct configuration of the jumper.
Following the initialization sequence, where the status LED (labeled STATUS) turns
green for 1 second, then toggles between yellow and green several time, the status
LED turns yellow and stays yellow.
Solution
The Control Unit logs are corrupt and must be wiped clean. Please contact your
vendor for support.
After entering a password on the Head Unit, as described in the Initial Setup section
of this manual, the status LED turns red and stays red.
Solution
The Head Unit is attempting to send a password to the Control Unit, when the
Control Unit already has a password. The microprocessor in both the Head Unit and
Control Unit need to be replaced. Please contact your vendor for support.
