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 result in life-threatening danger due to
electric shock.
Only certified electricians are authorized to carry out the electrical
installation!
Mount the control panel in a safe internal area. This prevents tampering

This product is a finger scan access control system. The system is
comprised of a finger scanner and control panel. It is available in various
models and component combinations. It detects the characteristics of the
fingerprint contours, compares them to the stored fingerprint image and
opens in the event of a match.
The system is primarily designed for opening house doors, apartment
doors and garage doors in homes, businesses and limited industrial areas.

Function of the finger scanner
1Front phalanx
2Fingerprint
Fig. 2: Fingerprint
The finger scanner detects the fingerprint by means of a line sensor. The
control panel processes it. It then compares the result with the stored
fingerprint image. 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.

Control
Function
Finger swipe area
Store fingerprints by 'swiping the finger' evenly
downwards over the sensor.

Description
1st
Hold your finger straight, 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 neighbouring fingers.
4th
Move your finger evenly downwards
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 image
□Recommended finger numbering: .
□The index, middle and ring fingers work best. The thumb and
little finger work marginally or not at all.
□If the fingers are frequently wet, save the images with wet
fingers.
□Children's fingerprints work from approx. 5 years of age.
Optical signals on the finger scanner
The 3 LEDs on the finger scanner
signal the operating status and
function of the overall system.

The switching time for each individual relay can be set anywhere between
1 and 99 s. By default, the switching time is set to 3 s. When the time is
set to 0, the relay operates as a switch: the relay changes its switching
status when a finger is detected and it remains in that status until another
finger is detected.
NOTICE
When controlling an alarm system with relay time = 0a power failure or
reset (when an unrecognized finger is swiped over the finger scanner 10
times in a row) will deactivate the alarm system.
The relay switching times are set via the main menu. To get to the main

The digital input of the control panel enables the following functions:
Exit button
The input functions as a remote opener for relay 1. In this case, the relay
switches the defined relay switching time or for as long as the input is
enabled (e.g. request-to-exit button, permanent opening).
Feedback
The LEDs on the finger scanner indicate for 30 seconds the digital input
status when an authorized finger is swiped over the sensor. If the digital
input is enabled, the LEDs light up red. If the digital input is disabled, the
LEDs light up green. A digital input status change within these 30 seconds
is also indicated by the LEDs. This enables you to see that the alarm
system is still appropriately sensitive, for example.
Blocking R1
Relay 1 cannot be switched if the input is enabled (e.g. entrance blocking
while the alarm system is enabled). The LEDs on the finger scanner
indicate for 30 seconds the digital input status when an authorized finger
is swiped over the sensor while the input is enabled. The LEDs light up red
for 30 seconds.
