3 Safety information
3.1 Life-threatening danger resulting from electricity
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 to supply ekey home devices.
Failure to do so will create a risk of electrocution.
Only certified electricians are authorized to carry out the electrical installation work!
3.2 Tamper-proofing
Mount the converter in a safe internal area. This prevents tampering from the outside.

4.2 Scope of delivery
□ LAN RS-485 converter;
□ Software CD: ekey home converter LAN config software, Operating instructions, wiring diagram,
data sheet;
□ Optional: Finger scanner, control panel, USB converter, cable transfer, power supply,
connection cable, covers, etc.
4.3 Proper use and areas of application
This product is an accessory for a finger scan access control system. The device is integrated into
the system. The system is comprised of a finger scanner, control panel, converter, and receiver
(data sink). It is available in various modells and component combinations. For certain activities,
the converter sends a defined data packet in the UDP protocol on the RS-485 bus via the Ethernet
network. Data is transmitted in one direction from the ekey home or ekey multi system to the
receiver, and never the other way round.
The system is used to establish a data connection between the ekey home or ekey multi system
and a defined receiver, such as a Home Automation System.
4.4 Requirements for the installer
The following skills and knowledge are needed to commission the ekey home or ekey multi system
with LAN RS-485 converter:
□ Electrical connection: The system installer must be familiar with electrical connections and be
competent in this field in order to guarantee safe operation.
□ Data transmission: The system installer must be familiar with network technology and IP
addressing in order to install and configure the system correctly.
□ Data processing: The creator/operator of the receiver (data sink) must be familiar with data
technology and data processing in order to adjust the interface correctly.
4.5 Requirements for the user
No particular skills or knowledge are needed to use the ekey home or ekey multi system with LAN
RS-485 converter. No alterations or servicing should be carried out after the system has been
correctly commissioned by qualified personnel, unless the fundamental system properties (network
structure, addressing, etc.) change.

4.6 LAN RS-485 converter
4.6.1 Function of the converter
For certain activities, the converter sends a defined data packet in the UDP protocol on the RS-485
bus via the Ethernet network. A receiver (data sink) can interpret this data packet and set a
defined event. The converter supports three protocol types: rare, home, and multi. Configuration of
the protocol type and the network settings is carried out using the ekey home converter LAN config
software.
The converter functions in conjunction with the following ekey control panels:
□ ekey home CP WM 1
□ ekey home CP WM 3
□ ekey home CP IN 1
□ ekey home CP IN 2
□ ekey home CP DRM 1
□ ekey home CP DRM 2
□ ekey multi CP DRM 4

4.7 Protocol types
The converter supports three protocol types for sending data packets over the Ethernet network:
□ rare protocol: Complex protocol for system developers who are incorporating an ekey home
system. The data is transferred in binary format. This protocol is the default setting.
□ home protocol: Simple protocol for automation technicians who are incorporating an
ekey
home system. The data is transferred in string format.
□ multi protocol: Simple protocol for automation technicians who are incorporating an ekey
multi system. The data is transferred in string format.
The individual data fields can be separated by means of a spacer. This character is defined in the
settings. The spacer takes effect in the home and multi protocols.
4.7.1 Structure of a data packet with the rare protocol
