1.0 Introduction
Setting up a KBF-3KP reader on a new installation is a three step process. Each of these
steps is covered in its own document:
lBioManager Software Installation (p/n: 02301-001)
lCNV Converter Setup (p/n: 02303-001) - (used to connect to the BioSync via eth-
ernet)
lBioSync KBF-3KP Reader Setup
Note: The current version of the BioManager software is v15 (at the time of writing). You
can download the lastest version from the Software Downloads section of the Kerisys web-
site - http://www.kerisys.com/pages/download/software/
This guide explains the process of wiring the BioSync to the controller, connecting to the
BioSync for the first time, configuring the reader then enrolling user's cards, fingerprints
and PINs (when using a 3KP reader).
The KBF-3KP biometric keypad reader is a Wiegand biometric fingerprint reader and
keypad for access control applications and features a backlight and programmable Wie-
gand output and can be used inside or outdoors. It offers storage of up to 9,500 fin-
gerprints, programmable Wiegand output (8 to 128 bits) and selectable PIN code length.
There is also a tamper switch which is activated if an attempt is made to open or remove
the unit from the wall. You can wire the tamper switch into an available input (for
example, on a 4x4 module) and then set up an alert/sound alert within Doors.NET.

2.0 Mounting Instructions
If the biometric reader is installed and used outdoor, the reader MUST be fitted with the
MCD-MINI polycarbonate cover available in our accessories in order to protect the sensor
from direct rainfall. The operating temperature of the product is between -15ºC - + 50ºC.
If the reader is installed in an environment where the temperature can drop below -10ºC
or/and if the sensor could only be exposed to direct sunlight, it is strongly recommended
to install the reader inside a third party sealed wall mount box (fitted with additional
heater if very low temperature) to keep a constant sensor level performance.
Keri Systems™ cannot guarantee the functionality of the product if measures and advice
before are not followed.
It is also strongly recommended to use dual technology biometric readers when used out-
doors to offer first higher security but also the possibility to use different readers to suit
different types of users.
Note: On the reverse of the KBF-3KP (under the mounting bracket), you will see a white
label which has a wiring diagram and the device ID/serial number - you should make a
note of this number.

3.0 Wiring Instructions
3.1 Wiring to an NXT RM3 (Reader Interface Module)
Reader Interface Module Notes:
lOn the Reader Interface Module the J3 jumper should be set to pins 1 and 2. This will
provide 12VDC to the BioSync reader and when correctly set the D10 LED should be
solid red.
lIf you are using a Wiegand-only module, by default the LED mode will be correctly
set (providing the RM3 is using firmware version 03.03.10)
lIMPORTANT: If you have an NXT 4x4 module connected on the same bus as the
BioSync, you MUST use a separate power supply to power the BioSync.
lThe Reader Interface Module is only supported with the NXT and NXT-MSC con-
trollers.

3.2 Wiring to the PXL-500W Controller
PXL Notes:
lOn the PXL-500W controller, the JP5 jumper should be set to pins 1 and 2 - this will
provide 12VDC to the BioSync and on the PXL-500W LED10 will be solid red.
3.3 Wiring to an EP Controller (i.e EP-1502)
EP Controller Notes
lBioSync readers have two LED lines but the EP controllers only have one LED pin-out.
This is overcome by wiring the Red LED wire into the buzzer pin-out (pin 4) and in
Doors.NET you have to set the BioSync reader as being a Dual LED reader type.

- In Doors.NET go to Setup >> Hardware Setup >> All.
- Locate and highlight the BioSync reader in the hardware tree.
- Ensure Advanced View is enabled for the reader properties.
- Locate LED/Buzzer.
- Set the reader for Separate Red and Green, No Buzzer.
Note: This will set the controller to use the buzzer for controlling the second LED line and
because of this the reader does not generate any sound when the door is forced or held
open.
lWhen using BioSync readers with EP controllers you have to use custom LED Modes
to define the LED behavior for the various reader modes (i.e - access granted, access
denied, locked, unlocked, lockdown, etc). Setting up and using Custom LED Modes is
covered in a separate section and available as a standalone document (p/n: 02315-
001).
General Notes
lThe shield wire connects with the black (Ground) wire at the controller. At the
reader side they are kept separate to prevent a ground loop.
lThe BioSync readers can be connected to virtually any controllers that conforms to
Wiegand format standards (standard 26-bit or a custom Wiegand format).
lThe maximum reader cable run distance for the BioSync readers is 500 feet (as per
industry standard specifications).
lTypically the BioSync readers will be powered from the controller so ensure the con-
troller's power supply outputs enough current for the controller and all connected
devices.
lThe current draw for the BioSync KBF-3KP is approx. 130mA max.

lWhen using a separate power supply for the BioSync, connect the Ground for both
devices to ensure correct transfer of the Wiegand signal.
lWhen you have connected the reader to the controller and applied power, the
BioSync LED bar should flash amber and the reader will beep twice.
lWhen the BioSync reader is first powered up there will not be a backlight (by default
the backlight is disabled) but can be easily enabled once it is online to the BioMan-
ager software.
4.0 Add the BioSync 3KP to BioManager
Once you have installed the BioManager Software, setup the CNV converter, set the
reader's DIP switch and added the CNV converter as a portal, you are ready to add the
BioSync 3KP to the BioManager software.
4.1 Scan for the BioSync
When using the CNV-1000 converter you can use the scan facility to automatically detect
the BioSync and you will therefore not initially need to find out the device ID/serial num-
ber - hence this is the quickest and easiest method to add the BioSync.
1. Click the BioManager client desktop icon.
2. If using BioManager for the first time you will be automatically logged into the client,
otherwise you may be prompted for a user name and password.
3. On the left of the screen you should see a portal. An existing system will also have
BioSync readers listed.
4. Right-click on the communication portal.
5. Select Search devices.

6. A 15-second timer will begin to count down.
7. The detected BioSync reader(s) will show in the search window.
8. Highlight the detected reader then click to Add Reader.
4.2 Manual Add
The manual add option is useful if the hardware has not yet been installed but you want
to begin setting up the system in advance.
1. Open the BioManager software via the client icon on the desktop.
2. Right-click on the Portal which should already be listed and select Add Reader.

3. The Add Reader window will appear.
4. Enter a description for the KBF-3KP.
5. Select the exact model (KBF-3KP) from the Type drop-down list.
6. Select the Wiegand output type. Typically for the KBF-3KP this should be left at the
default setting of Wiegand26.
7. The Wiegand Output type should be SingleWiegand.
8. On the reverse of the KBF-3KP (under the mounting bracket), you will see a white
label which has a wiring diagram and the device ID/serial number - you should make
a note of this number.
9. Enter the device ID/serial number.
