1.0 Introduction
Setting up a B100-KP reader as 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 ethernet)
lB-100 KP Reader Setup - (p/n: 02384-001)
Note: The current version of the BioManager software is version 15 (at the time of writ-
ing). You can download the latest version from the Software Downloads section of the
Kerisys website.
This guide explains the process of wiring the B100-KP reader to the controller, con-
necting to the reader for the first time, configuring the reader then enrolling user fin-
gerprints and PINs.

The B100-KP biometric keypad reader is a Wiegand biometric fingerprint reader and
keypad for indoors and outdoors access control applications and features a backlight
and programmable Wiegand output.
It offers storage of up to 100 fingerprints, 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 aler-
t/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 metal 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 Sys-
tems™ 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.

3.0 Wiring Instructions
3.1 Wiring to an NXT RM3 (Reader Interface Module)
Reader Interface Module Notes:
lOn the Reader Interface Module (RM3) the J3 jumper should be set to pins 1 and 2.
This will provide 12VDC to the B100 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
reader, you MUST use a separate power supply to power the reader/keypad.
lThe Reader Interface Module (RM3) is only supported with the NXT and NXT-MSC
controllers.

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.
lBioSync readers ar eONLY supported on the PXL-500W, they are NOT supported on
the PXL-500P controller.
lWhen using the PXL-500W controller with BioSync readers, the controller will pro-
cess up to 31 Wiegand bits.
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 maximum reader cable run distance for the BioSync readers is 150m/500 ft (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 maximum current draw for the BioSync B100-KP is approximately 150mA.
lWhen using a separate power supply for the reader, 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
B100 LED bar should flash amber and the reader will beep twice.
lWhen the B100 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.
lThe BioSync readers are supplied with a 120 ohm resistor. This resistor should be
used to terminate the RS-485 network on large networks/long cable runs if the com-
munication is not stable. The network is terminated at the CNV-1000 convertor
using a jumper across both pins

4.0 Connecting the B100 Readers to Multiple NXT-
MSC Controllers
5.0 Add the B100-KP to the BioManager Software
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
B100 to the BioManager software.
5.1 Scan for the B100-KP Reader
When using the CNV-1000 converter you can use the scan facility to automatically detect
the BioSync. You will therefore not initially need to find out the device ID/serial number -
this is the quickest and easiest method to add the B100.
Note: There is no maximum number of portals that can be added to the software. A sys-
tem can use any number of CNV-1000 converters.
1. Click the BioManager client desktop icon.
