Your product is set up with a finger scanner. This finger scanner reads special characteristics of your
finger lines and uses them for identification. Each of your fingers is unique and differs from the fingers of
other persons.
Model ekey TOCAhome
This model provides 1 relay.
Model ekey TOCAhome 3
This model provides 3 relays. You can assign these relays to different fingers. This can be used for
example to switch a door opener, a garage opener or an alarm device.
Model ekey TOCAhome pc
Like TOCAhome 3 this model also provides 3 relays. Moreover, you can connect the inside unit to a
personal computer using a serial interface cable.

Installation
3. Installation
3.1. Wall fastening of outside unit
Install the Mounting plate (as shown in the illustration besides)
directly on the wall. The ideal installation height is at
approximately 135 cm / 52 inches (upper edge). At this height the
fingerprint reader is ergonomically positioned for better reading of the
finger surface as it is being swiped.
The unit can be mounted to a standard electrical outlet using ”In-wall
mounting set“ accessory. The mounting holes are designed to make the
assemblage on a standard electrical outlet possible. Alternatively,
you can work with pins or wooden screws or similar screws directly on
the wall.
The outside unit (splash water resistant) has to be installed in a place, where it is safe from the impact of
heavy rain or snowfall as well as from too strong an incident of solar radiat ion.
3.2. Wall fastening of inside unit
Mount the “fitting plate”, which can be found at the backside of the inside unit. The “fitting plate” at the
same time serves as fastener for the casing of the inside unit. Put up the inside unit onto the fitting plate.
Inside unit can be opened by pushing up the lock clip with a flat screwdriver.
The inside unit has to be installed in a way that it is safe from third party access. Security risk!
Note:
Installation of inside unit shall be exclusively executed by qualified
personnel!
3.3. Electrical connection
The inside unit has to be supplied with electricity; its voltage is 9 VAC. Please use the “9VAC – in”
connecting clamps and only use the power supply provided with your TOCAhome product.
The inside and outside unit have to be connected via a 4-lines wire (bell wire, CAT 5/6, …) with a
minimum line diameter of 0,75mm² (gauge 21) using connection clamps 1-4. In the case of a wire length
of more than 20m the diameter of the wire has to be enlarged and a screened cable has to be used.
1 relay (3 relays with the product ekey TOCAhome 3) is available for controlling external switchgear. The
programming is carried out via the programming menu. The relay is equipped with a change-over contact,
which is freely usable, the maximum switching power is 250V~5A. Each door opener has to be connected
to a dedicated power supply without exception (don’t use the power supply provided with you TOCAhome
product!).
The connection wire between outside and inside unit is to be run separately from electronic house
installations, as they send out signals in the lower voltage area, which can be irritated by other
neighbouring live power cables.
Remark:
The cables are not protected against reversed polarity.
Note:
It is strongly recommended to have the electrical connection done only
by qualified personnel!

key The initialising process runs fully automated, whereby the
devices are coupled with each other. During this process, which lasts for approx. 15 sec. the display
shows OK.
This coupling is used to secure that the outside unit cannot be misused or changed to prevent
unauthorised persons from getting access.
After initialization is completed, a single blinkin g dot signals normal operation. The standard security code
which is automatically used is 99. Please change this code to your own individual code.
Note:
The exchange of the outside unit is only possible via resetting the
system to the initial settings. All data are erased in this case. You have
to carry out the initialisation once again. All fingers have to be enrolled
again in the system after this reset.

Operation
4.4. Enrolment of a finger
4.4.1. How to swipe a finger correctly over the sensor
In order for the reader to properly scan and recognize a particular finger, the finger needs to be
positioned and swiped correctly over the sensor as outlined below:
a. Locate the reader sensor between the 2 green illuminated arrows.
b. Starting from the finger joint, place the finger flat over the sensor. It is very important that the
whole finger is placed flat over the senor and not just the tip.
- 10 -
c. Apply little pressure and start swiping the finger immediately all the way down. The bigger the
identified finger surface, the higher is the probability that you are recognised again by the system.

and Æ enter the right number of the security code (standard setting is 9)
5. Press
OK
6. In the display „Eu“ (enrol user) is illuminated
7. Press
OK
8. The display shows “1“. A flashing dot next to the number signals that this user number is already in
use. Example: “1.” Assign the desired user number by using the keys
Å
and Æ.
9. Press
OK
10. The display shows “F1”. F1 stands for finger 1. Please start to count your fingers at the left hand with
the little finger. The right little finger has the number 10 (setting “F0” in the display). A flashing dot
next to the number signals that this user number is already in use e.g. for the right forefinger set „F7“
11. Press
OK
12. In the version ekey TOCAhome the display shows “EF”. Please continue reading at the next point but
one. In the version TOCAhome 3 you can now determine which relay (channel) should be activated by

Possible problem areas and solutions
5. Possible problem areas and their solutions
Problem Reason Solution
The enrolment of a finger is not
successful
The finger has not been drawn
consistently starting from the
finger joint over the senor.
The finger has been drawn too soft
or too strongly over the sensor.
The finger has been drawn too fast
or too slowly over the sensor.
Draw the finger consistently over the
sensor.
Draw the finger gently, but not too softly
over the finger.
Draw the finger with moderate speed over
the sensor.
An already enrolled finger cannot
be found
During enrolment another area of
the finger was scanned.
The enrolment has not been
carried out correctly
The finger has to be enrolled again by
drawing it consistently over the sensor.
See “Enrolment of a finger is not working”
– perfect enrolment ensures high
identification efficiency.
Status point of the inside unit is
not flashing
Break down of the system
Turn off the device for approx. 20 sec.
E0 No connection to the outside unit Check the „4-line” connection wire.
E1 Already 99 fingers enrolled It is not possible to enrol more fingers. If
necessary erase fingers in order to enrol
new ones.
E2 30min locking after 3 times
entering the wrong security code
Wait for 30 min., in order to key in the
security code anew.
E3 Wrong unit coupling. The green
LED on the outside unit is
signalling a positive identification,
which is not accepted, because one
of the devices has been changed.
After exchange of the outside or inside
unit a reset to the initial settings has to
be carried out.
