The ekey home finger scanner is typically mounted in an outdoor environment and therefore accessible to
everyone. In order to avoid external tampering, which could theoretically result in an unauthorized
access, your system is e uipped with below listed security features:
The ekey home control panel has to be mounted in a secure area. The switching actuator (relay
output) to operate a motor locking system is positioned on the control panel.
System changes (fingerprint enrollment, etc.) can only be made via the ekey home control panel
situated in a secure area.
The access to the menu in the ekey home control panel is secured with a security code. This is an
additional obstacle within the system for unauthorized users.
The finger scanner is connected to the control panel by a dataline. The communication between
both components is encrypted.
The finger scanner and control panel are “initialized”, i.e. they are coupled during the initial start-
up. When replacing a finger scanner in the outside area, a new coupling with the control panel in
the inside area must be done (via key combination). Otherwise no access will be granted.
Operation and data monitoring
Your ekey home finger scanner features software routines which run sanity checks of the system
operation data. If the system identifies inconsistencies, then the finger scanner will be recalibrated
automatically. This calibration procedure takes 3 to 5 seconds and can be followed via the LED signals
se uence (see Chapter 7.3). These inconsistencies can be caused by:
abnormal electrostatic discharges (ESD),
abnormal electromagnetic interference fields.
It is not possible to operate the finger scanner during the calibration process. The device resumes its
normal operation after the calibration process is over.
6.3 HAZARDS AT INTENDED USE
The sensor surface of the thermal line sensor, which is primarily used for the
ekey home FS WM
ekey home FS IN
can become very hot (>50°C) when exposed to direct sunlight. In order to avoid burns and scalds of the
fingertips, it is recommended to test the temperature by shortly touching the sensor. If needed, place
your hand over the scanner making a cooling shade.
Apart from that, there are no hazards in normal use of the system.
6.4 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USER
It is essential for the installer to study the supplied manuals (installation, wiring, and correct use). The
installer to commission the system is re uired to possess professional training in the area of electrical
engineering.
The user has to use the system in accordance with these instructions. Otherwise, no special knowledge is
necessary to operate the system.
6.5 NOTE ON PRODUCT LIABILITY
In below listed cases, the security provided respectively the protection of the device may be impaired.
The liability for the functioning of the e uipment is transferred to the operateor / administrator / user:
The device is not operated, maintained and cleaned in accordance tot he respective manual.
The device is used outside of the application area specified herein, e.g. in automotive applications,
hazardous areas, safety-critical applications (threat life or physical condition)

ekey home control panels
8. MODELS AND VERSIONS
There are 3 different ekey home control panel models.
ekey home CP IN – integrable into doors
ekey home CP WM – wall-mounted
ekey home CP DRM – 4HP DIN—rail mounted device
The individual control panels essentially differ in their method of installation. The method of operation,
however, is identical for the
ekey home CP IN and
ekey home CP WM.
The ekey CP DRM is e uipped with a LCD display. In addition, the state of the relay outputs is indicated
via LEDs.
The ekey home control panels are the actuator units within the ekey home system. The finger scanner
transmits to the control panel which relay output has to be activated. This action is then executed on the
respective control panel. In addition, the system configuration is another important task of the ekey home
control panel. The respective settings (e.g. fingerprint enrollment, relay switching time, etc.) are defined
via the push buttons and the display.
The ekey home CP should always be mounted in a secured area (indoors). If you mount the control
panel outdoors, where anybody can have access to it, then unauthorized people could easily unlock
the door!

8.2.1.4 INITIALIZING THE DEVICES
CAUTION! The electrical connection of the system can only be carried out by a specialist!!!
Before you connect the systems to the mains, make sure that both the mounting and the wiring
have been done correctly.
You may only manipulate the electric connections after having separated the system from the
mains!
You will find mounting and wiring instructions in chapter 10 and 11.
After the devices have been initialized, the flashing dot on the control panel indicates normal mode.
CONNECTION BETWEEN CONTROL PANEL AND FINGER SCANNER
When the devices are connected to the power supply the control panel display starts to count down until a
connection has been created with the finger scanner. Afterwards two red dots appear. During this time
the status display on the finger scanner lights up red. Once the boot procedure has been completed, the
status display begins to flash orange. Now the initialization can be started.
If the counter does not stop on the control panel and you are not taken to the language settings,
please double check the RS485 bus connection (clamp 1 and 2). Alternatively, please check
whether the finger scanner is properly powered (LED blinking or illuminated).
1.) Press the OK button
2.) Press the ESC button. "EF" appears on the display, which stands for "Enroll Finger".
3.) A) Initialization after having replaced the control panel
If it was necessary to replace the control panel because it was defective, then fingers had
already been recorded in the ekey home finger scanner. In order not to have them deleted, a
pre-recorded finger may now be swiped over the sensor, and the initialization process is
started without deleting any data.
B) New installation
If this is a new system (new installation), press the ESC button once again.
The system now initializes. All the fingers recorded previously on the finger scanner will be
deleted.
4.) The initialisation process runs completely automatically, in the course of which the devices are
connected with each other. This connection is meant to prevent unauthorised people gaining
access in case of an improper finger scanner replacement.

8.2.1.6 ENTERING THE SECURITY CODE
The security code allows you to avoid system manipulations by unauthorized people. Since the control
panel is to be mounted in a secure area, an unauthorized person will have to get access to this secured
area first. This security code can then be described as an additional hurdle.
After 3 incorrect attempts, the device is blocked for 30 minutes and the control panel display
shows error code . If the control panel is disconnected from the mains, the counter resets itself
once is has been re-connected to the electricity.
The factory default setting for this code is „99“. Change this code as soon as you have started up the
system to any 2-digit code of your choice.
1.) Press the OK button on the control panel.
2.) Enter the left digit of the security code using the < and > buttons (factory setting is 9)
3.) Press the OK button.
4.) Enter the right digit of the security code using the < and > buttons (factory setting is 9)
5.) Press the OK button.
The display shows „Eu“ (Enroll user).
8.2.1.7 ENROLLING A FINGERPRINT IN THE SYSTEM
In ekey home a maximum of 99 fingerprints can be enrolled. These 99 fingerprints can be assigned to 99
user IDs. You can for example
administrate 11 users, each one enrolling 9 fingerprints or
administrate 99 users, each one enrolling only 1 fingerprint or
opt for any other mixed setup.
Generally speaking, we recommend to:
save at least 2 fingerprints per user (ideally from different hands)
use index and middle fingers. From an ergonomic point of view, they are best suited for proper
operation resulting in the highest level of recognition.
avoid using thumbs and little fingers.
create a user list assigning the user ID to a user name. You can find a template in the
accompanying DVD.
stick to the suggested numbering of the respective fingerprints (see below).
Before adding a fingerprint into the system, please read through chapter 7.2
“Operating the finger scanner“, or watch the movie on proper use on the
accompanying DVD. Using the finger scanner properly is essential for a stable
operation, and this in turn starts during the fingerprint enrollment.
Properly recorded fingerprints will simply work better!

1.) First, enter the security code as per section 8.2.1.6:
2.) When the display shows "Eu", press the OK button.
3.) Select the user: The display shows the number "1". If this user number is already in use this is
signalised by a dot next to the number. For example: "1". Select the desired user number using
the < and > button.
4.) Press the OK button.
5.) Select the finger: On the display "F " stands for finger 1 = small finger on the left hand. Please
begin counting with the little finger on the left hand. The little finger on the right hand is number
10 (= setting "F0" on the display). If a finger number has already been allocated, then this is also
signalised with a dot next to the number. For example set the index finger on the right hand as
“F7".
If the finger has already been recorded, then you will see a flashing dot beside the finger number,
e.g. „F1.“. You may still record the finger however if you wish to do so. The preceding finger will
then be automatically overwritten.
6.) Press the OK button.
7.) Consider step 7 only if you have an ekey home control panel with more than 1 relay:
ekey home 2 CP IN
ekey home 3 CP WM
You can now determine which relay is meant to be controlled by the previously selected
fingerprint. "o " on the display signalises that at the moment the first relay (the motor lock) is
selected (standard setting).
“o ” … Relay 1
“o2”… Relay 2
“o3“... Relay 3
“od”… Double relay function: Relay and relay 2 switch simultaneously with one
finger swipe only. Both relays switch according to the set relay switching times (e.g. relay 1
3 seconds and relay 2 6 seconds).
Use the < and > buttons to select the relay to be controlled.
8.) Press the OK button.

Once „EF“ appears on the display, you have 60 seconds time to swipe your finger, starting at the
top knuckle downwards, over the sensor. The finger scanner status LED lights up orange =
operation mode Enrollment. The device is waiting for a finger to enroll.
The fingerprint should be recorded in the manner described in section 7.2. The finger scanner
possesses a (LED) status display, which signalizes using two different colors, after you have swiped
your finger over the sensor, if the enrollment was successful or not:
Red: The finger could not be scanned successfully,
Please repeat the enrollment process. Read chapter xxx before doing so.
Watch the movie on the DVD.
Green: The finger has been succesfully recorded (scanned). The enrollment was
successful
9.) Enter the user name on the user list, which you maybe have on paper, at the corresponding place.
