Product overview - the ekey home system
For a complete operational ekey home system you will need the following components:
Not all parts are supplied by ekey!
ekey home is a biometric access system which is equipped with a finger scanner. This scanner reads
special features of your finger lines and uses them to recognise people with access rights. Each one of
your fingers has specific recognition features and also varies from the fingers of other people. ekey home
is available in different functional and mechanical versions and can therefore be optimally adapted to your
needs.

ekey control panel versions
The ekey home control panels are intended to directly control an electric motor lock. This is usually relay
1 for a door wiring.
ekey home CP WM 1 wall-mounted 1 relay
ekey home CP WM 3 wall-mounted 3 relays
ekey home CP IN 1 integrable 1 relay
ekey home CP IN 2 integrable 2 relays

General Safety Information
6. INTENDED USE
The ekey home system consisting of
ekey home finger scanner
ekey home control panel
ekey power supply
is a biometric access control system available in different hardware shapes and combinations. It captures
the unique features (minutea) of the fingerlines, which are then compared to the master templates saved
in the finger scanner. To authenticate a finger successfully, a certain degree of identicalness (threshold)
has to be reached. Based on this, a defined switching actuator is activated (relay output situated on the
control panel).
The system has been primarily developed for opening front doors, apartment doors, garage doors, etc. in
a residential and corporate environment. It has to be installed in a fixed position, and in accordance to the
accompanying installation manual and wiring diagrams.
Electrical Safety
All ekey home devices are to be operated by safety extra-low voltage and powered by adapters from
protection class 2 according to VDE 0140-1.
Such power adapters are typically marked with below shown symbol according to IEC 60417:
Your ekey home system is powered by electricity. Despite the exclusive operating clearance of
protection class 2 power adapters, all devices need to be handled with particular caution during
installation and wiring. For this reason, all services have to be carried out by qualified personnel
e.g. electrician, installer, etc.).

Please read carefully the provisions below before starting to wire the system:
The connections of the devices are NOT protected against reverse polarity! Incorrect
wiring of the devices can result in them being damaged beyond repair!
Only trained and qualified electricians should carry out electrical wiring of the units
and connection to the mains grid!
Lay the connecting cable between the e ey home CP (control panel) and the e ey
home FS (finger scanner) separately from any 230 V or 380 V mains voltage cables
in the house. The connecting cable carries low voltage signals that can be interfered
with by current-carrying mains voltage cables in the vicinity.
6.2 SECURITY AGAINST MANIPULATION
Your ekey home system consists of 2 electronic devices
the ekey home finger scanner
the ekey home control panel
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 equipped 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 data line. The communication between
both components is encrypted.
The finger scanner and the control panel are “married”, i.e. they have been coupled during the
initial start-up. When replacing a device, a new coupling must be done via a specific key
combination on the control panel mounted in the secure area). 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
sequence (see section 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 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH 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 other known risks in normal use of the system.
6.4 REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USER
It is essential for the installer to study the supplied manuals (Mounting instructions, Wiring, and Operating
instructions) before installing the devices. The installer (system commissioner) is required to possess
professional certificated training in the area of electrotechnical 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 operability of the equipment is transferred to the operator / administrator / user:
The device is not operated, maintained and cleaned in accordance with the respective manual.
The device is used outside of the application area specified herein, e.g. in automotive applications,
hazardous areas, safety-critical applications (thereat to life or physical condition)
The operator carries out unauthorized changes on the devices

ekey home finger scanners
7. MODELS AND VERSIONS
There are 3 different ekey home finger scanner models.
ekey home FS WM 2.0 – wall-mounted
ekey home FS IN 2.0 – integrable into doors and intercoms
ekey home FS OM – outlet-mounted
The individual finger scanners essentially differ in their method of installation. The method of operation,
however, is identical for all models.
7.2 OPERATING THE FINGER SCANNERS
7.2. FUNCTION OF THE FINGER SCANNER
ekey finger scanners are exclusively equipped with line (swipe) sensors. To capture a fingerprint, please
draw your finger over the sensor. The system records the image of the fingerprint lines (papillary lines)
line by line and compiles an image from the individual rows. The finger scanner then calculates a
recognition template (minutia and their relative positions), which is compared to the previously stored
finger templates (reference finger templates). If a certain degree of congruence is exceeded (threshold), a
positive match (= finger was recognized) will trigger an allocated action (e.g. switch relay output 1). It is
important to note that no fingerprint images are stored.
Which part of the finger should be recorded by the finger scanner?
It is necessary to capture an image of the 3rd
phalanx. On the contrary, your finger scanner will not
function properly.
In order to ensure this, take care to operate the finger
scanner correctly. It is fundamental to place your
finger correctly in the finger recess and move it down
across the sensor at the right speed. Ergonomically
speaking, the best fingers are the index, the middle
finger and the ring finger. The thumb and the little
finger may not be used!
A finger scanner works like a camera. It makes a picture of the bottom side, the papillary lines, of your
finger´s third phalanx. However, this picture must be of good quality, so that physical access can be
granted whenever necessary.
Imagine you wish to make a picture of someone, and this person
