Installation
3. Installation
3.1. Wall fastening of outside unit
Install the Mounting plate (as shown in the illustration besides)
directly on the wall. The ideal installation height is at
approximately 135 cm / 52 inches (upper edge). At this height the
fingerprint reader is ergonomically positioned for better reading of the
finger surface as it is being swiped.
The unit can be mounted to a standard electrical outlet using ”In-wall
mounting set“ accessory. The mounting holes are designed to make the
assemblage on a standard electrical outlet possible. Alternatively,
you can work with pins or wooden screws or similar screws directly on
the wall.
The outside unit (splash water resistant) has to be installed in a place, where it is safe from the impact of
heavy rain or snowfall as well as from too strong an incident of solar radiation.
3.2. Wall fastening of inside unit
Mount the “fitting plate”, which can be found at the backside of the inside unit. The “fitting plate” at the
same time serves as fastener for the casing of the inside unit. Put up the inside unit onto the fitting plate.
Inside unit can be opened by pushing up the lock clip with a flat screwdriver.
The inside unit has to be installed in a way that it is safe from third party access. Security risk!
Note:
Installation of inside unit shall be exclusively executed by qualified
personnel!
3.3. Electrical connection
The inside unit has to be supplied with electricity; its voltage is 9 VAC. Please use the “9VAC – in”
connecting clamps and only use the power supply provided with your TOCAhome product.
The inside and outside unit have to be connected via a 4-lines wire (bell wire, CAT 5/6, …) with a
minimum line diameter of 0,75mm² (gauge 21) using connection clamps 1-4. In the case of a wire length
of more than 20m the diameter of the wire has to be enlarged and a screened cable has to be used.
1 relay (3 relays with the product ekey TOCAhome 3) is available for controlling external switchgear. The
programming is carried out via the programming menu. The relay is equipped with a change-over contact,
which is freely usable, the maximum switching power is 250V~5A. Each door opener has to be connected
to a dedicated power supply without exception (don’t use the power supply provided with you TOCAhome
product!).
The connection wire between outside and inside unit is to be run separately from electronic house
installations, as they send out signals in the lower voltage area, which can be irritated by other
neighbouring live power cables.
Remark:
The cables are not protected against reversed polarity.
Note:
It is strongly recommended to have the electrical connection done only
by qualified personnel!

Operation
4.4. Enrolment of a finger
4.4.1. How to swipe a finger correctly over the sensor
In order for the reader to properly scan and recognize a particular finger, the finger needs to be
positioned and swiped correctly over the sensor as outlined below:
a. Locate the reader sensor between the 2 green illuminated arrows.
b. Starting from the finger joint, place the finger flat over the sensor. It is very important that the
whole finger is placed flat over the senor and not just the tip.
- 10 -
c. Apply little pressure and start swiping the finger immediately all the way down. The bigger the
identified finger surface, the higher is the probability that you are recognised again by the system.

Possible problem areas and solutions
5. Possible problem areas and their solutions
Problem Reason Solution
The enrolment of a finger is not
successful
The finger has not been drawn
consistently starting from the
finger joint over the senor.
The finger has been drawn too soft
or too strongly over the sensor.
The finger has been drawn too fast
or too slowly over the sensor.
Draw the finger consistently over the
sensor.
Draw the finger gently, but not too softly
over the finger.
Draw the finger with moderate speed over
the sensor.
An already enrolled finger cannot
be found
During enrolment another area of
the finger was scanned.
The enrolment has not been
carried out correctly
The finger has to be enrolled again by
drawing it consistently over the sensor.
See “Enrolment of a finger is not working”
– perfect enrolment ensures high
identification efficiency.
Status point of the inside unit is
not flashing Break down of the system
Turn off the device for approx. 20 sec.
E0 No connection to the outside unit
Check the „4-line” connection wire.
E1 Already 99 fingers enrolled It is not possible to enrol more fingers. If
necessary erase fingers in order to enrol
new ones.
E2 30min locking after 3 times
entering the wrong security code Wait for 30 min., in order to key in the security code anew.
E3 Wrong unit coupling. The green
LED on the outside unit is
signalling a positive identification,
which is not accepted, because one
of the devices has been changed.
After exchange of the outside or inside
unit a reset to the initial settings has to
be carried out.
