Device overview
2. Device overview
Your product is set up with a finger scanner. This finger scanner reads
special characteristics of your finger lines and uses them for
identification. Each of your fingers is unique and differs from the
fingers of other persons.
Relays
ekey®TOCAnet provides 3 relays for controlling external switchgear.
The relays are equipped with a change-over contact, which is freely
usable, the maximum switching power is 250V~5A.
Programming
Programming and configuration of ekey®TOCAnet is done by using the
software “ekey®TOCAnet Admin”, which comes on CD-ROM with each
along with the LAN/RS-485 converter.

Installation
3. Installation
3.1. Wall mounting of outside unit
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 swept.
The unit can be mounted to a standard electrical
outlet using the “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!

Installation
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 TOCAnet product.
Inside and outside units have to be connected to the RS-485 bus using
a bell wire or Cat 5/6 cable (see the connection scheme below).
Minimum wire diameter required is 0.6 mm². For the power supply of
the scanner unit, a wire diameter of 0,75mm² (gauge 21) is necessary.
Each door opener has to be connected to a separate power supply! Do
not use the ekey® adapter for powering any other electronic devices!
The connection wire between outside and inside units 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.
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. 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 swept 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 sensor and not just the tip.
c. Apply little pressure and start sweeping 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
LED of external unit does
not illuminate
Maybe the power connection
(clamp 3,4) and the data
connection (clamp 1,2) are
interchanged
Connect power supply to
clamp 3 and 4. Connect
RS-485 bus to clamp 1
and 2.
Communication between
PC-Software and terminals
does not work.
1. IP address of converter is
not concordant with the
settings in ekey®
TOCAnet Admin software
2. A firewall is active, which
blocks the UDP-data
transfer on port 21580,
21581 and 21589
1. Change IP-address
2. Open the described
ports in the firewall
(for UDP
communication).
LED of external unit is
blinking green
Fingerprint sensor can not
be activated. Maybe the
sensor is defect.
Contact an authorized
ekey®TOCAnet specialist
dealer
After a positive fingerprint
match the internal unit’s
display shows message
„En“ but the relay is not
switching
Maybe the relay is defect Contact an authorized
ekey®TOCAnet specialist
dealer
„Ready“ LED at LAN/RS-
485 converter is
illuminating red.
Data lines Rx and Tx are
connected in the wrong
order to the converter.
Interchange data lines
LED of external unit is
illuminating orange
although the software
configuration in “ekey®
TOCAnet Admin” is done
correctly
Data lines Rx and Tx are
connected in the wrong
order to the outside unit.
