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.) iring
Do not connect the system to the ma ns yet! The electr cal
connect on of the system can only be carr ed out by a
spec al st!
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
„Operat ng the f nger scanner“. The correct operat on
( .e. sw p ng the f nger over the sensor) of the
f ngerpr nt scanner s dec s ve for the proper
funct on ng of the whole system.
6.) Connect the power adaptor to the mains.

2 Operat ng the f nger 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. hich 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.
hat 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 l tt le f nger 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. BE ARE: 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“

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

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 f nger across the f nger scanner n one of the
ways ment oned here, then the scanner w ll not be able to
extract the nformat on t needs about your f nger mage. It
w ll therefore not funct on properly:
Poor recogn t on performance: You 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.
