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.

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
e ey home FS WM e ey home FS IN e ey home FS OM

General

keeps fidgetting
runs by and you try to make a picture of him at that exact moment
hides half of his face behind a tree
etc.
What do you think these pictures will look like? On some of the pictures you will not even be able to
recognize the person.
The finger scanner works in the same way. The finger scanner can only read all the information contained
in your finger, and consequently open your doors securely and reliably, if you move your finger down
across the sensor evenly and in the right position.
Let us now look at where you should place your fingers and at which speed you should move them across
the sensor, so that the „pictures“ of your fingers are perfect.
The finger recess – the control element
The finger recess allows to place the finger correctly so that a finger picture of good quality can be
captured. It actually is the control element and consists of
-Pin point - Sensor - right and left recess edges
7.2.2 OPERATING CORRECTLY THE FINGER SCANNER

General
© ekey biometric systems GmbH Operating instructions ekey home Page 12 / 41
Best results are achieved by using the middle finger and stretching out the index and
ring finger at the same time.. see the figure above).
The correct operation of the fingerprint scanner is your guarantee of the successful functioning of this
product. Below written recommendations apply for all hardware types:
Please use the finger which has the best finger lines in your opinion. In particular with weakly-
pronounced finger lines you should avoid pressing down too hard on the sensor so that you do not
squash the finger lines which are flat anyway.
The small fingers and thumbs should NOT be used!
The finger scanner is equipped with a fully automatic learning system, which recognizes changes in
user habits and growing children´s fingers. To optimize the fingerprint recognition, it is best to
swipe each finger at least 5 times over the sensor, every time you have enrolled a new finger, or if
you have not used the system for a long time. If any of your finger scans is rejected, then please
repeat this process. Sollte Ihr Scan abgewiesen werden, so wiederholen Sie bitte diesen Vorgang.
If none of your fingerprint scans are accepted in spite of this, please try the following:
Vary the pressure (stronger or lighter) when swiping your finger.
Take care to place your finger correctly in the finger recess
Small finger and thumb are not ideal for ergonomic reasons. The thumb is particularly very difficult
to use.
Try scanning the fingerprint at different speeds in order to find out the best speed for you.
Save the same fingerprint in several locations, if the above points do not help. You have
memory spaces available. In extreme circumstances you should use up to 10 memory spaces for
one finger.
Wet fingers show different contours. If you often have wet fingers, then save your fingerprint in
wet condition.
Children´s fingerprints are usually recognized, depending on the body height of the child, generally
from the age of 5 – please also observe the above points.
7.2.3 WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO

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 the ekey home CP WM. The ekey home CP DRM is the
more recent model featuring an 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!

8.2.1.6 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 mains.
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 )
3.) Press the OK button.
4.) Enter the right digit of the security code using the < and > buttons (factory setting is )
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 fingerprints can be enrolled. These fingerprints can be assigned to
user IDs. You can for example
administrate 11 users, each one enrolling fingerprints or
administrate 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 section 7.2
“Operating the finger scanners“, 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
signalized by a lighted dot next to the number. For example: „ .“. Set 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 signalized 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 CP IN 2
ekey home CP WM 3
You can now determine which relay is meant to be controlled by the previously selected
fingerprint. "o " on the display signalizes 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 section xxx before doing so.
Watch the movie on the DVD.
Green: The finger has been succesfully recorded (scanned). The enrollment was
successful Enter the user name on the user list, which you maybe have on paper,
at the corresponding place.
8.2.1.8 DELETING A USER
The “DELETE USER” (du) function always relates to all of the user´s data. It is NOT possible to delete
individual fingers. If a user is deleted, all his recorded fingers will be irrecoverably deleted.
1.) Look up in the handwritten user list the user number which you wish to delete.
2.) First enter the security code as per 8.2.1.6
3.) Press the > button several times until “du” (delete user) is displayed.
4.) Press the OK button.
5.) Use the < and > buttons to select the desired user number to be deleted from the system.
6.) Press the OK button.
7.) “OK” is then shown on the display for a short time. The device then returns to normal mode.
8.2.1. SETTING A NEW SECURITY CODE
Please be aware that the device cannot be operated further without setting a new security code. If you
enter a new security code, then you will always need this code in the future in order to make changes
(finger enrollment, delete user, etc.) in your ekey home system.
1.) First enter the security code as per 8.2.1.6
