SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing to purchase an iPulse Systems biometric reader. We are aware that there are many

options to choose from and are grateful that you have elected to choose our products out of the many

competitive options available to you.

The iPulse iPBx range of biometric devices are made with care and pride, and with proper installation and

care, should provide many years of uninterrupted service. The following guide is intended to assist you to

properly understand the best methods for installing and maintaining your product.

1.2 A quick overview of the iPBx biometric device range

The iPulse iPBx biometric device range use a simple combination of numbers and names to help users

clearly understand the type of device. In general, all products are named as follows:

iPBx<Name> <Description>

•The xabove is a number, between 1 and 9, which represents model of the biometric reader.

•The <Name> represents the type, which explains the features, most of which are common across

models.

•The <Description> normally reflects the card supported by that specific model and is normally only

included with Identity models.

For example, an iPB7 Identity SE/Prox, means that the reader is an iPB7 model, of the type Identity (a

reader type that has a built-in card reader, with the description SE/Prox meaning that this specific card

reader supports the HID SE (multiclass) card reader, as well as the multiclass Prox card reader.

Typical product types are the following:

Access: Normally a “dumb” device, the Access does not have its own controller built in. Designed to

work specifically with the IntelliControllers™, Access devices do on-device fingerprint

matching, but use the “brain” of the IntelliController™ for all other processing. Typically, these

devices are used in environments with smaller user bases, and where cost is a key driver.

Enterprise: The Enterprise range offers the full built-in controller that the iPBx range of biometric devices

are famous for. Offering full redundancy, and with complete operation in both online and

offline modes, the Enterprise range of readers are the core of the iPulse range.

Identity: The Identity range offers the same features as the Enterprise, but with built-in card readers

for sites who wish to use a combination of fingerprint and card, or in some cases, offer both

options separately. Depending on the card types offered, Identity models can work as

fingerprint only, card only, card to identify and fingerprint to verify or even fingerprint on card

for local matching only.

1.3 Understanding the IntelliDevice™ and IntelliLink™ Architecture

The iPulse iPBx biometric device range use the unique IntelliLink™ to make connections simple, yet

extremely powerful. The IntelliLink™ is a patented way for iPulse devices to share power, network

communications and iPulse-specific communications with each other, and connects a family of devices

known as IntelliDevices™, the most common of which is the IntelliRelay™.

All iPBx biometric devices (with the exception of the Access type readers) ship with an IntelliRelay™ in the

box. This extremely powerful device acts as the readers connection to the outside world, providing

network, power and communications, and including a highly secure and extremely powerful relay board

that can trigger external devices such as a mag lock, receive feedback or status signals from external

devices, and also, accept a push button input.

Because the IntelliRelay™ is “Intelligent”, it can monitor these inputs, and report back to the reader, turning

even a “dumb” push button device into a monitored and recorded input. Furthermore, the IntelliRelay™

can monitor the biometric device itself, and should it lose connection for any reason, perform an auto-

reset of the reader, thus ensuring maximum uptime.

Using commonly available RJ45 connectors, the iPBx range of readers connect directly to the IntelliRelay™

via standard Category 5e (*1), commonly known as Cat 5 cable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable

1.4 SecuGen Sensor & Capture/ Matching Algorithm

The iPulse iPBx range of biometric devices come standard with the SecuGen range of FBI-certified, patented

SEIR-based fingerprint sensors and uses the SecuGen MINEX-tested/ NIST-compliant algorithm for capture

and matching.

SecuGen Corporation is one of the world's leading provider of advanced, optical fingerprint recognition

technology, products, tools and platforms and has been serving the global biometrics industry since 1998.

The iPBx readers use the SecuGen Corporation MINEX Compliant Extractor and Matcher, and the following

information shows the SDK Code and CBEFF PID relating to these specific products. MINEX is a project of

NIST's Information Technology Laboratory's Information Access Division, and NIST is an agency of the U.S.

Commerce Department's Technology Administration, and more information pertaining to these values,

and how they are calculated, is available from their website.

SECTION 2

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The iPBx range of biometric readers have been designed foremost with safety and ease of installation in

mind. All our products are DC (Direct Current), 12V (low voltage) devices, and as such, do not specifically

require the availability of a certified wireman when being installed.

Using commonly available RJ45 connectors, the iPBx range of readers connect directly to the IntelliRelay™

using standard Category 5e network cable (*1), commonly known as Cat 5 cable. This cable provides the

reader with power, network communications, and the unique iPB IntelliLink™ connection, which will be

explained further in later chapters.

*1 For a better understanding of Cat 5 cabling, visit Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable

Whilst the iPBx readers use standard or conventional cabling, they do NOT USE A STANDARD WIRING

convention. This is for multiple reasons, including the following:

Security: A big concern for any company is physical access to their networks. iPBX biometric devices

often sit outside a building, as they are required to grant access. To ensure that the device

cannot simply be removed from the wall, and used by any other device for internet access,

iPulse mixes up the cabling to ensure that only iPBX devices can access the network through

the IntelliRelay.

Distance Standard Cat 5 cables support a distance of up to 100m. To make sure that all of our signals,

including power (*1), can run this distance, iPulse uses a specific cable pattern to reduce

interference, and boost signals. Therefore, in distances over 5m, only the iPulse cabling

method will work.

*1 All iPBx devices require a standard 13,8v input, and supplying voltage that is higher than

this can cause significant damage to the device. Having said this, voltage drops over

distance, and as such, when the distance between the iPBx device and the IntelliRelay™

reaches greater than 40m, it is advisable to seek expert advice on how to inject higher

voltages at the opposite end to allow for the drop over distance that the readers will

experience. No greater than 17v should EVER be inputted to an IntelliRelay™ however,

to avoid damaging the unit.

The following diagram –which is very similar to the TIA/EIA 568B standard, should be used for all cables

linking an iPBx device to an IntelliRelay™. The only key difference –and the easiest way to remember this

diagram, is that all colours should be paired together, unlike the TIA/EIA 568B standard, where the middle

4 cables are mixed up.

In general, ANY wiring diagram where all pairs are together, ie, Orange and White, Orange, then Green &

White, Green, then Blue & White, Blue and finally Brown & White, then Brown, is acceptable.

Figure 2 –iPBx to IntelliRelay Wiring Diagram

There is no reason that anyone who is certified to work on standard networking cables cannot work on the

wiring between the iPBx devices, and the IntelliRelay™. Many network cables which use the PoE standards

contain much higher voltages than the IntelliRelay™ puts out.

Having said this, the IntelliRelay™ itself connects to a power supply directly, and this power supply is

normally connected to the AC (Alternating Current) mains electrical supply. Although this power supply is

not a direct part of the iPBx installation, it is highly recommended that only a certified wireman connect

the power supply to the mains power supply, and that even the connection of such a supply to the

IntelliRelay™ via the 12V output should be performed by the same person if possible.

It is highly recommended that a good quality (at least class II) power supply be used, which supplies a

minimum of 1A output at 12V DC. All power supplies should conform to the Safety Electrical Low Voltage

standards and should always be earthed where possible.

The iPBx range of biometric products were tested using power supplies that meet the UL60950-1, TUV

EN60950-1, CCC GB4943(RS-50 only) safety standards, and when used in conjunction with this type of

power supply, are known to conform to the Safety Electrical Low Voltage standards.

For wires connecting from the power supply to the IntelliRelay™, it is recommended that AWG20 (*2) cable

be used, and that this distance should not exceed 10 meters from the power supply to the biometric reader.

Where possible, and for maximum reliability, a length of 5 meters is recommended, and preferred.

*2 For a better understanding of the AWG wiring standards, visit Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

Prior to connecting the iPBx reader to the IntelliRelay™, a voltage measure of the power input block should

be taken. This should measure between 12V (minimum) and 13,8V (maximum). Lower voltages could

provide insufficient power for the device to run correctly, and higher voltages could damage the

IntelliRelay™ which has surge protection circuitry, and is thus designed to switch off, or even blow, if too

much voltage is supplied, in order to protect the biometric reader.

When connecting your iPB4 to a power supply, it is important to know how much power the device will

draw at peak, and what the average consumption is. This is very important especially when connecting the

device via PoE.

Amps

Watts

Overall Average

309mA

4.09W

Minimum Average

295mA

3.91W

Maximum Average

323mA

4.28W

iPulse recommendsthat a minimum power supply of 500mA or 8W is supplied when connecting the device

to a power source. Having said this, it is critical to understand that if connecting a maglock or striker lock

to the same power source, that the current draw of these devices needs to be taken into account.

In the case where both the iPB4 and a locking mechanism are connected, it is recommended that a

minimum power supply of 1,5A or 17Wis supplied. This is subject to the power draw of the locking

mechanism, and care should be taken to ensure that enough power is supplied in cases where these

devices are using more than average.

If you are uncertain, consult an electrical contractor, especially in cases where using PoE to power these

devices, as whilst they may appear to work during installation, continued use of an under specified

power supply could result in problems over time.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

As with all electronic devices, the iPBx biometric device range can experience electronic malfunctions.

Whilst all the iPulse products are designed with safety in mind, and thus have multiple methods to

ensure that such failures happen in a safe and controlled manner, it is always wise to assume that

anything abnormal you can see, smell or hear are not safe, and thus the device should be disconnected

from the power source immediately.

Any strong metallic odour, or sounds of popping, crackling or hissing, are normally clear indicators

that something is not right with the device, and any visible signs of smoke should also be taken very

seriously.

Always put safety first, and if you experience any of the above, contact your product channel for

assistance and guidance.

SECTION 3

REGULATORY & ENVIRONMENTAL

3.1 Regulatory Overview

As this is an electronic device, it is governed by different regulations and standards around the world. In

order to comply with these standards, iPulse performs rigorous compliance & safety tests through

registered test centers across the globe and uses these results to apply for certification from different

authorities and bodies.

As many of these standards are self-regulated, iPulse stores copies of all test results, and related

documentation, in physical files, which are kept at various addresses depending on the requirements of

the specific standard.

At a minimum, iPulse keeps copies of all documentation at its US headquarters, which are based at the

following address:

United States of America

Please feel free to contact us should you have any specific requirement to view this information, which will

be disclosed to anyone in compliance with the regulations associated with making this information

available for specific purposes.

3.2 FCC Regulations –United States of America

The Federal Code of Regulation (CFR) FCC Part 15 is a common testing standard for

most electronic equipment. FCC Part 15 covers the regulations under which an

intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator can be operated without an

individual license. FCC Part 15 covers as well the technical specifications,

administrative requirements and other conditions relating to the marketing of FCC

Part 15 devices. Depending on the type of the equipment, verification, declaration

of conformity, or certification is the process for FCC Part 15 compliance.

More information about FCC certification can be found on Wikipedia at the following web address:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_Declaration_of_Conformity

The iPB4 range of biometric devices has been extensively tested and found to be compliant with Part 15

of the FCC Rules, under which it is defined as a Class B Digital Device.

A Digital Device is defined as an unintentional radiator (device or system) that generates and uses timing

signals or pulses at a rate in excess of 9,000 pulses (cycles) per second and uses digital techniques; inclusive

of telephone equipment that uses digital techniques or any device or system that generates and uses radio

frequency energy for the purpose of performing data processing functions such as electronics

computations, operations, transformations, recording, filing, sorting, storage, retrieval, or transfer.

Furthermore, the iPB4 range of biometric devices are defined as Class B Digital Devices, which means that

they are marketed for use in a residential, commercial, industrial or business environment. The Class B

certification means that they may be used by the general public or in the home, as well as in the workplace.

It is important to understand that any unauthorized changes made to the device could void the end users

authority granted under these rules to use the equipment, and therefore, these devices should only be

used in the manner described in this user manual or in other official iPulse documentation pertaining to

product usage.

3.3 CE Regulations –European Union

The CE mark is a conformity marking for electronic products sold with the

European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985. It is a world-wide recognized

symbol, which is like the FCC defined in 3.2 above. To be CE compliant, the iPBx

range of devices is required to conform to several directives, which include the

following:

•EMC Directive 2014/30/EU

•Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU

•RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU

More information about CE certification can be found on Wikipedia at the following web address:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking

The iPB4 range of biometricdevices has been extensively tested and found to be compliant (or conformant)

with the above-mentioned directives.

3.4 SABS Regulations –South Africa

SABS, or the South African Bureau of Standards, provide certification to industry

in South Africa and beyond since 1980. The SABS brand is synonymous with

quality, reliability and dependability and is found across all manner of products,

including electronic products such as the iPBx range of biometric readers.

More information about SABS certification can be found on the SABS website at the following address:

https://www.sabs.co.za/

The iPB4 range of biometric devices has been extensively tested and found to be compliant with the SABS

standards applicable to electronic devices.

SECTION 4

UNPACKING THE BOX

Thank you for purchasing an iPulse iPB4 Biometric device. Your iPB4 should be packaged neatly into a

sturdy and securely built box, clearly branded with the iPulse brand, and your device name.

When opening the box, you should find your biometric reader and IntelliRelay™ securely packaged in a

high-density foam casing, which has been carefully selected to provide your product with maximum

protection during shipping. The front cover of the reader should be nestling on top of the actual reader.

See Figure 3 - Box Interior

Figure 3 - Box Interior

On the side of the box there will be a product serial number as well as a sticker to show the specific model

of the device you have purchased (see Figure 4 - Serial & Model). This is important information & the serial

number on the box should correspond with the serial number on the unit inside the box.

If for any reason this is NOT the case, please report this immediately to the supplier who provided you

with your reader.

Figure 4 - Serial & Model

An instruction and care leaflet should also be in the box. This should be read carefully as it has a lot of

valuable information about caring for your reader, and where to find software and support should you

require any.

Unpacking the box should provide you with an IntelliRelay™ which is your reader’s connection to the

outside world. There is a wiring diagram provided for convenience on the top of the IntelliRelay™ casing.

You should also find an iPB4 Biometric device, which consists of two parts: the back and front casing of the

unit. At this time, they will be nestled into each other, but not connected or joined in any way. (see Figure

5 –iPB4 & IntelliRelay).

Figure 5 –iPB4 & IntelliRelay

Finally, and if you look at the rear casing of the iPB4 biometric device, you should also see a sticker that

has some important information on it. Some, or perhaps all, of this information will be needed during the

configuration of the iPB4 reader, depending on which software solution you are using it with, and the

specific requirements of your network.

Figure 6 - iPB4 Information Sticker

It is therefore extremely important that you make a note of all of this information BEFORE installing the

unit, and save it in a safe and secure place for future use, or when requested by the network or software

engineer who is configuring the iPB4 biometric device.

The information that you need to save is as follows:

Serial: The serial number of the reader, normally in the format IPU-0000-0000, is a unique identifier

issued and created by iPulse for every device they sell. This serial number is used to determine

the warranty period of the device, and to track its movement history from the time it was

manufactured until its eventual removal from service. This number will be required in all

communications with iPulse or any of its distributors or resellers when requesting support,

service or information. It is also used with the IQSuite.cloud solution when adding a device to

the database.

MAC: The MAC address, as defined by Wikipedia, is a media access control address (MAC address)

of a computer (sic), and is the unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for

communications at the data link layer of a network segment. MAC addresses are used as a

network address for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi.

As the iPBx biometric device is in effect a computer, running the Linux operating system, it too

has a unique MAC address, taken from the iPulse Systems pool of MAC addresses. This

address will be needed when configuring the device on multi-layer switches, as well as when

using the iPBx with certain software, such as IQSuite.cloud or XTIME.

It is useful to know that all iPulse MAC addresses begin with 00:11:2D.

Access Key: The Access Key is a unique security key allocated to your device and is specifically required

when connecting your iPBx to IQSuite.cloud. This key, when combined with the serial number

of the iPBx, gives significant control to a user, and the key should thus be carefully and safely

stored for future reference.

SECTION 5

IntelliRelay™ CONNECTION

The IntelliRelay™ v4 acts as the main connection point between the

iPB4 biometric device and the outside world.

The section on the left of the IntelliRelay™ is reserved for Inputs, whilst

the section on the right provides output. The IntelliRelay™ is designed

to function on 12 –14 V DC and should be connected to a Power Supply

providing at least 1.5A, especially if the device is being used to trigger

a mag lock or electronic door striker.

Inputs

•Door Status –connection terminals for the door status monitor,

used to determine the state of a door (or another connected

device)

•Battery Backup –this allows the relay to determine if it is running

off a battery backup unit and to send notifications if configured to

do so.

•Power –connection terminals for the power supply, providing

power to both the IntelliRelay and the connected iPB4.

Note that whilst this unit has significant protection against

electrical surges, polarity is still important. Incorrect wiring could

severely damage the IntelliRelay™.

•Fire Line –connection terminals for a fire system. This needs to be

turned on with a switch INSIDE the IntelliRelay™ to operate and

requires the presence of a 5v signal to keep operating.

•Pushbutton –connection terminals for an exit button or touchless exit sensor.

•Network Input –incoming network connection is plugged in here and passed through to the iPB4 to

simplify installation and avoid exposing a network point to the outside world.

Outputs

•Relay –connection terminals for the on-board relay. Provides Normally Open (N/O), Normally Closed

(N/C) and Common (COM) terminals.

•Wiegand Out –connection terminals for Wiegand output, allowing communication with Wiegand-

compatible controllers and similar devices. Also allows for feedback from a controller if wired correctly

and configured for this response in IQSuite.cloud.

•IntelliLink –connection terminals for the IntelliLink connection that allows several IntelliRelays™ to be

daisy-chained to support additional functionality through use of a single device.

•Reader Connection –RJ45-type connector used to provide power and communications to a connected

iPB7.

5.1 Wiring Diagram –Fail Closed

This is the most common wiring diagram and is used when a door needs to be configured in such a way

that if the power is cut, the door remains locked.

High security doors, such as entry/exit doors to buildings, should always be wired with this configuration,

but it is important to note that there should always be an override switch, especially on the inside, in case

of fire.

5.2 Wiring Diagram –Fail Open

This is a less common wiring diagram, and it is normally used when a door needs to be configured in such

a way that if the power is cut, the door remains open. This normally applies to non-critical internal doors.

Figure 7 - Wiring Diagram - Fail Closed

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

Cables are loose and exposed, and so could be touched by anyone. Therefore, the IntelliRelay™ needs

to either be installed in the ceiling, where it is meant to be, or if placed in a spot where it can be

reached, it should be mounted into an electrical housing for safety reasons.

Your iPB4 biometric device is rated as an IP52 unit. For more information on what this means, please see

Appendix A –Understanding IP Ratings.

A conversion kit is available that allows you to increase the IP rating of device. For more information, please

ask your supplier or visit www.ipulsesystems.com.

This rating also depends on the quality of installation. For best results it is recommended that the iPB4

biometric device be mounted indoors or at least under a covered area, and that it should not be installed

in an area where it is exposed to the elements.

An iPB4 was designed to be exceptionally easy to install and maintain. Looking at Figure 9 - iPB4 Installation

Diagram above, you can see that the back plate should be mounted to the wall, with a single screw

connecting the front part of the device to the back plate.
