following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type
and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits set forth for general population.
This device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must
not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

oIC: 2236B-SE3210
This device complies with Industry Canada's RNCs for unlicensed radio devices. Exploitation is permitted
under the following two conditions:
1) The device must not cause interference.
2) The user of the device must accept any radio interference, even if the interference may compromise its
operation.
In accordance with Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may operate with a specific antenna
and maximum gain (or lower) approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. In order to reduce the risk
of radio interferencefor other users, The type of antenna and its gainmust be chosen so that the equivalent
radiated isotropic power (p.i.r.e.) does not exceed the intensity necessary to establish satisfactory
communication.

1.6 > Others recommendations
Potential safety conditions notice
If you notice any of the following conditions (or if you have other safety concerns), do not use the product:
crackling, hissing, or popping sound, or a strong odor or smoke coming from the product. It is normal for
these conditions to appear when an internal electronic component fails in a safe and controlled manner.
However, these conditions may also indicate a potential safety issue. Do not assume it is a safe failure.
Turn off the product, disconnect it from its power source, and contact technical support for assistance.
Disposal of waste equipment by users
This symbol means do not dispose of your product with your other household waste. Instead, you should
protect human health and the environment by handing over your waste equipment to a designated
collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.

1.7 > Recommendations for terminal implementation
Every installation is unique. Sometimes the issues are well defined and can be handled in a standard
fashion; sometimes the issues are very specific and may not be immediately recognizable.
Idemia recommends following these steps for a successful installation:
Plan the installation - Choose the type of hardware required, decide if a network is required, and
decide on the location and number of required terminals.
Unpack all items - Unpack all items and check against the packing list.
Install network hardware components - Install the cabling and components needed to run the
system.
Install software - Install the software needed to set up the terminals.
Pre-configure device - Connect the terminals to the Ethernet, supply power to the terminals, and pre-
configure the terminals.
Mount devices - Mount the terminals in their final locations
Power distribution and device hook up - Connect the terminals wiring via the back panel.
Power-up procedure - Check the power connections, and then start the system safely. First Boot
Assistant screen is displayed, where you can perform fundamental configuration.

VisionPass - 2019_2000045728
To secure properly an access, Idemia recommends installing the VisionPass terminal as a part of the
typical Access Control environment described in the figure below.
VisionPass Compact
Terminal
Figure: Implementation Recommendations
This environment comprises:
The VisionPass terminal itself
Its role is to perform one-to-many biometric identification or one-to-one biometric verification, i.e. to identify
the individual who is presenting his face by comparing his biometric data with the references previously
stored in the terminal database (in the form of biometric templates) or to verify his identity using the
reference stored in a contactless card presented to the terminal.
An Access Controller (3rd party product)
The Controller is the element which controls the access rights of the individuals to the secured area. For
that reason, it must be located in the secured area.
The individuals who are authorized to access the secured area have their User ID listed in a so-called
"Authorized User List" (in contrast with a banned card list).

19
VisionPass - 2019_2000045728
The VisionPass terminal and the Controller are communicating according to one of the TCP/IP, Wiegand,
Dataclock or RS485 protocols:
The VisionPass terminal sends User ID to the Controller
The Controller sends its decision to the VisionPass terminal (which displays access granted or access
denied depending on the answer)
The VisionPass terminal sends an alarm signal to the Controller as soon as a malicious operation is
detected (terminal pulled out from the wall or opened for maintenance operations); refer the paragraph
dealing with anti-pulling and anti-tamper switches for more explanations.
The Controller is part of the global Access Control System of the secured area, which can provide useful
features such as manage:
Authorized user lists (i.e. for VIP),
Banned card lists (i.e. for lost user cards),
An access request log (who and when, access granted or denied,..),
An event log (i.e. tamper detection, access control for evacuation of the building,...).
The VisionPass terminal is able to work alone, without Controller, but the protection level of the secured
area is lower.
An Alarm (3rd party product)
This element is connected to the VisionPass terminal through a dry contact.
The VisionPass terminal sends the command to activate the Alarm as soon as a malicious operation
(terminal pulled out from the wall or having its bottom cover opened out of maintenance operations) is
detected; refer the paragraph dealing with anti-pulling and anti-tamper switches for more explanations.
A Door Electric Latch or equivalent (3rd party product)
This element once activated opens the access. The Controller is the one which sends the command to
activate the latch if access is granted (i.e. if the individual's User ID is listed in the Controller Authorized
User List). Connection between these two elements is done through a dry contact.
