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.
Model ekey®TOCAhome
This model provides 1 relay.
Model ekey®TOCAhome 3
This model provides 3 relays. You can assign these relays to different
fingers. This can be used for example to switch a door opener, a garage
opener or an alarm device.
Model ekey®TOCAhome pc
Like TOCAhome 3 this model also provides 3 relays. Moreover, you can
connect the inside unit to a personal computer using a serial interface
cable.

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!

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 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
4.2. Initial operation:
Coupling between inside and outside unit
After applying power, the two dots (..) in the display of the inside unit will
illuminates and the status display of the outside unit will start blinking.
Press the OK key followed by the ESC key. The initialising process runs
fully automated, whereby the devices are coupled with each other. During
this process, which lasts for approx. 15 sec. the display shows OK.
This coupling is used to secure that the outside unit cannot be misused or
changed to prevent unauthorised persons from getting access.
After initialization is completed, a single blinking dot signals normal
operation. The standard security code which is automatically used is 99.
Please change this code to your own individual code.
Note:
The exchange of the outside unit is only possible via resetting the
system to the initial settings. All data are erased in this case. You have
to carry out the initialisation once again. All fingers have to be enrolled
again in the system after this reset.

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 sensor and not just the tip.
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.
