4.4.1 Function of the Crestron access control system
The ekey finger scanner detects the fingerprint by means of a line sensor. The controller 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.

The Crestron system offers an interface for individual permission assignment and central
administration via a Crestron Touch Screen. The system also logs the access events and enables
the user to program custom time slots.

The system is largely maintenance-free. The sensor surface is essentially self-cleaning due to
repeated use (swiping of fingers). However, if the finger scanner becomes soiled, clean it with a
damp (not wet), non-abrasive cloth. Q-tips, microfiber cloths, and glasses-cleaning cloths are
suitable for this purpose. Cotton-containing materials, paper towels, tissues, kitchen sponges,
damp dish towels, and kitchen roll are not suitable. Use clean water without adding detergent.
Treat the sensor surface with care.
