Safety information

DANGER

All ekey home devices are to be operated with safety extra-low
voltage (SELV). Only use power supplies rated protection class 2
according to VDE 0140-1.
Failure to do so will create a risk of fatal electrocution.
Only certified electricians are authorized to carry out the electrical
installation work!

Mount the control panel in a secure internal area. This prevents tampering
from the outside.

This product is an access control system with a biometric or mental
identification feature (finger scan or pin code). The system is comprised of
a registration unit and control panel. It is available in various models and
component combinations.

The biometric access control system detects the characteristics (minutiae)
of the fingerprint contours, compares them to the biometric information
saved from the reference fingerprint image, and opens the door in the
event of a match. One variant allows the user to be identified and the
door opened by means of an RFID transponder.

The non-physical access control system detects the pin codes which are
entered, compares them to the stored reference codes, and opens the
door in the event of a match.

The system is primarily designed for opening house doors, apartment
doors, and garage doors in homes and businesses.

Function of the finger scanner

1 Front phalanx
2 Fingerprint

Fig. 2: Fingerprint

The finger scanner detects the fingerprint by means of a line sensor and
subsequently processes it. It compares the result with that of the
biometric information saved from the reference fingerprint image and
opens the door in the event of a match. The finger scanner only works
correctly and reliably with the front phalanx print. Swipe your finger
steadily and evenly over the sensor in the correct position.

The variants with RFID function detect and identify RFID transponders.

Finger scanner controls

Controls

Function

Finger swipe
area

Store fingers by 'swiping the finger' evenly downward
over the sensor.
Identification by 'holding up the RFID transponder',
which involves holding an RFID transponder over the
finger swipe area of the finger scanner.

Sensor

System programming by 'Finger Touch', a short, rapid
touch of the sensor with the finger.

Correct operation of the finger scanner

Incorrect operation will impair the function of the finger scanner.

'Swiping the finger':

Step

Figure

Description

1st

Hold your finger straight
and place it centrally
between the guiding edges.
Do not twist the finger.

2nd

Place the joint of the front
phalanx directly onto the
sensor. Place your finger
flat onto the finger swipe
area.

3rd

Stretch out the neighboring
fingers.

4th

Move your finger evenly
downward over the sensor.
Move the whole hand
simultaneously. Swipe the
front phalanx fully over the
sensor in order to achieve
optimal results. The
movement takes approx. 1
second.

General hints for achieving a good-quality fingerprint

□ The index, middle, and ring fingers work best. The thumb and

small finger supply fingerprints that are difficult to analyze.

□ In the case of fingers that are frequently wet, store the images

with wet fingers.

□ Children's fingerprints work from approx. 5 years of age.

'Finger Touch':

Step

Figure

Description

1st

Briefly touch the sensor
with your finger.

'Holding up the RFID transponder':

NOTICE

The 'holding up the RFID transponder' option is only available for finger
scanners with an RFID function.

Step

Figure

Description

1st

Hold the RFID transponder
face parallel to the finger
swipe area of the finger
scanner at a distance of 1
to 5 cm.

Optical signals on the finger scanner

There are 2 types of LED:

□ Status LED for operating status
□ Function LED for indicating the function of the overall system.

1 Status LED
2 Function LEDs

Function of the code pad

The code pad captures the pin code with the capacitive keypad. The code
pad compares what has been entered with the stored reference codes.
The code pad can handle pin codes containing 4 to 8 digits. The digits in
the pin code cannot all be the same; at least one of them must be
different. There are 2 types of pin code: The admin code for configuring
the system and the user code for opening doors.

If the code is entered incorrectly 3 times, there will be a 1-minute lock. If
the code is then entered incorrectly a further 3 times, there will be a 15­minute lock. There will be a 15-minute lock each time the code is entered
incorrectly after that.

Controls, optical signals, and acoustic signals on the code pad

The code pad has 2 sections with controls.

Controls

Function

Input buttons

Enter pin code; select menu item.

Confirmation buttons

Confirm pin code input as positive or negative;
start menu.

Table 2: Code pad controls

2 status LEDs signal the operating statuses (pin code correct, pin code
incorrect, menu item, etc.). An acoustic signal transmitter signals that the
button has been pressed and that access has been enabled.

NOTICE

The code pad switches back to normal mode after 10 seconds if nothing
has been pressed. When this happens, any inputs or changes that are
attempted will be rejected.

Control panels are available in 2 models. You can only operate a single
registration unit per control panel. Any registration unit works with any
control panel.

Operating concept

Different operating concepts are available, depending on the registration
unit:

□ ekey home app – administration of the Bluetooth finger scanner

by means of a mobile device

□ ekey administrator finger – administration of the finger scanner

by means of administrator fingers

□ ekey admin code – administration of the code pad by means of

shortcuts.

Go to the operating concept that relates to the registration unit you have
purchased.

See “Configuration of normal mode and usage of the finger scanner with
the app”, page 19.

See “Configuration of normal mode and usage of the finger scanner with
administrator fingers”, page 29.

See “Configuration of normal mode and usage of the code pad with
