Safety information
DANGER
All devices are to be operated with safety extra-lowekey home
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 authorised to carry out the electrical
installation!
Mount the converter in a safe internal area. This prevents tampering from
the outside.

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 third-party Wiegand system. It is
available in various makeups and component combinations. The converter
converts the internal ekey RS485 protocol to a Wiegand protocol. Data is
transmitted in one direction from the system toekey home or ekey multi
the third-party Wiegand system, and never the other way round.
The system is used to establish a data connection between the ekey home
or system and a third-party Wiegand system.

Function of the converter
The converter reads out the sent information at the ekey RS485 bus. It
converts this data into a predefined Wiegand protocol. The converter
sends the generated data to the third-party Wiegand system for further
processing. The predefined data format can be adapted to the third-party
system using the configuration tool and a USB converter.

The parity bit is used to check the sent data.
Facility code (unique device code)
The facility code uniquely defines the finger scanner in the third-party
Wiegand system. The default code is 1. The code can be changed using
the configuration tool.
User ID (unique user number)
The user ID is made up of the user number and the finger number. In an
system, this is calculated as follows:ekey home
User ID * 10 + finger number
e.g.: User number 15 with finger number 7: 15 * 10 + 7 = 157
In an system, the user ID is calculated as follows:ekey multi
(User ID - 1) * 10 + finger number
e.g.: User number 15 with finger number 7: (15 - 1) * 10 + 7 = 147
You can change the length of the Wiegand ID using the configuration tool.
An additional OEM code can also be defined during configuration. This is
added before the facility code.
The configuration tool is integrated in the software. Thisekey FWupdate

variant 1 comprises up to four finger scanners, a control panel,ekey multi
a converter and a Wiegand interface to the third-party system. The
converter transmits the sent data from each finger scanner to the third-
party Wiegand system. With this system setup, the converter is connected
to a Wiegand interface for the third-party system. The third-party system
must therefore be able to recognise various facility codes.

sent data from one finger scanner to the third-party Wiegand system.
With this system setup, the individual converters are connected to
different Wiegand interfaces for the third-party system.

Converter configuration
NOTICE
In an system, the converter only needs to be configured if aekey home
26-bit Wiegand format cannot be used.
NOTICE
In an system, the converter must be configured, as theekey multi
individual finger scanners require a unique facility code. Configuration is
not absolutely essential in the following system setups if a 26-bit Wiegand
format can be used:
□Only one finger scanner is used in the system;
□Only one converter is used in the system and a
distinction between the individual finger scanners does not need to
be made in the third-party Wiegand system. ( variant 1)ekey multi
The following components are required to configure the converter:
□;ekey converter USB
□USB connection cable;
□RS485 connection cable;
□Power supply;
□PC with MS Windows operating system and USB-2.0 interface;
□software with configuration tool.ekey FWupdate
If you have already implemented your system, disconnect it from the
power supply. Dismantle the toekey home converter Wiegand RS485
enable it to be configured.
