START-UP
Please follow the steps below to start up the system:
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 plan
supplied with the devices.
3.) Check the wiring.
4.) Conclude mounting the devices. Close all the device housings
which you had to open in order to be able to proceed with the
wiring.
5.) Read carefully the following chapter
„Operating the finger scanner“. The correct operation
(i.e. swiping the finger o ver t he sensor) o f the
fingerprint scanner is decisive for the proper
functioning of the whole system.
6.) Connect the power adaptor to the mains.
The electrical connection of the system can only be
carried out by a specialist

„Programming the system“.
2 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 si
de, 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
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!

Lay your finger straight and flat
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
.
Use this as a benchmark. You should not need much more or much less
than that. If you swipe your finger too fast, then the status LED shows
„red“
2.4. What you should not do

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.
There should be only a
small slit left between
sensor and finger.
If you move your finger across the finger scanner in one of the
ways mentioned here, then the scanner will not be ab le to
extract the information it needs about your finger image. It
will therefore not function properly:
Poor recognition performance: Yo u 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, because the finger scanner gets less
information.
Do not modify the position of the finger phalanges
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.

RECORDING FINGERPRINTS AND ASSIGNING KEYS
Now you will define which functions you can carry out with your fingers, i.e. how the system reacts when you swipe a specific finger over one of the
finger scanners. To do so you must first enroll your finger in the system and then assign a key defined in the master key plan (3:) to this one
finger. You can save up to 99 fingers in the ekey multi system.

MASTER KEY PLAN
What is a key?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Your finger is the key!
In the ekey multi CP DRM 4 system, it is possible to define up to 4 keys (K1 – K4). Each user may be
assigned one or more virtual keys by assigning his fingers to this/these key(s). But first you need to set Keys 1-4 with the help of this master key
plan.
Depending o n the number of finger scanners registered in Part 1:, a standard master key plan is defined w hich is immediately e nabled. You may
however customize this master key plan at any time.
In order to generate a master key plan, you need to know which relay o f the ekey multi CP DRM 4 opens which door. If yo u do not know this,
enable the Test mode and switch the relays in sequence to see which door opens with which relay. Details about how to enable the Test mode can be
found in the Operating Instructions on the DVD supplied with the product.

The master key plan shows which relays the keys actuate in the system.
Key „K1“:
If a K1 finger is swiped over the FD finger scanner, then Relay 1 switches.
If a K1 finger is swiped over the SE finger scanner, then Relay 2 switches.
If a K1 finger is swiped over the GD finger scanner, then Relay 3 switches.
Key „K2“:
If a K2 finger is swiped over any of the 3 finger scanners, then Relay 4 switches.
Keys K3 and K4 are not used here but are available for any upcoming needs.

ENTERING THE SECURITY CODE (Factory setting = 99)
The security code allows you to avoid
system manipulations by unauthorized people. Change this code as soon as you have started up the system, in order to be protected against
manipulations. For more details about how to change the security code, please check the Operating Instructions on the DVD supplied with the product.

Picture it this way: Your finger is a key.
You have here as many keys available as those
you defined in the master key plan. You can
assign fingers to them now. You can assign the
number of fingers you wish to each key.
The keys defined in the master key plan (
) are to be assigned to the fingers during the finger enrollment procedure.
1 finger can only be 1 key! You can therefore only assign one key to one finger!
