1.0 Introduction
Setting up a B100-PR 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) - (for connection via Ethernet)
lBioSync B100-PR Reader Setup (p/n: 02382-001)
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-PR reader to the controller, con-
necting to the B100-PR for the first time, configuring the reader then enrolling user
cards and fingerprints.

The B100-PR is a dual Wiegand biometric swipe sensor reader, combined with a
NXT/EM/HID 125 kHz proximity reader for indoor or outdoor access control applications
with storage up to 100 finger templates. Programmable Wiegand Output output (8 to
128 bits).
The reader has a programmable Wiegand output (8 to 128 bits), a multi-color LED bar to
indicate access status and a tamper switch output that can trigger an event in the Door-
s.NET software. If an attempt is made to open the reader casing, the tamper output is
activated (the tamper wires; gray and blue should be wired into an available input, such
as on an NXT 4x4 module or an unused input on an NXT or MSC controller).
Notes:
- When using the PXL controller, the controller will process up to 31 Wiegand bits.
- When using an NXT RIM the controller will read up to 64 Wiegand bits
- Connection between the biometric readers is RS485 and it is used for fingerprint trans-
fer and configuration.
The B100-PR is a combination fingerprint and proximity card reader. It is configurable via
a dip switch (located on the rear of the unit) to read Keri NXT, EM, HID and AWID
125KHz credential types.

2.0 Set the Correct Card Type
1. Ensure the power is OFF at the reader.
2. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to set the correct card type on the dip switch.
3. Power ON the reader.
3.0 Mounting Instructions
BioSync Fingerprint Readers
- 6 -P/N: 02382-001 - Rev C
If the biometric reader is installed and used outdoor, the reader MUST be fitted with
MCD-MINI cover available as an accessory 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 recommended advice
is not followed. It is also strongly recommended to use double technology biometric
readers when used outdoors to offer first higher security and also the possibility of using
different readers depending on users.
4.0 Wiring Instructions
4.1 Wiring to the NXT 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 reader and when correctly set, the D10 LED should
be solid red.
lIf you are using a Wiegand-only module, ensure the reader is using firmware ver-
sion 03.03.10 - this will correctly set the reader LED mode.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers
- 7 -P/N: 02382-001 - Rev C
lIMPORTANT: If you have an NXT 4x4 module connected on the same bus as the
B100-PR, you MUST use a separate power supply to power the reader.
lThe Reader Interface Module can only be used with NXT and NXT-MSC controllers.
4.2 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 B100 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.
4.3 Wiring to an EP Controller (i.e EP-1502)
BioSync Fingerprint Readers
- 8 -P/N: 02382-001 - Rev C
EP Controller Notes
lBioSync fingerprint 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 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.
This will set the controller to use the buzzer for controlling the second LED line.
lWhen using B100 readers with EP controllers you have to use custom LED Modes to
define the LED behavior for the various reader modes (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 (part # -
02315-001).
4.4 General Wiring 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 B100-PR readers can be connected to virtually any controller that conforms to
Wiegand format standards (standard 26-bit or a custom Wiegand format).
lThe maximum reader cable run distance for the B100 readers is 500 feet/150m.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers
- 9 -P/N: 02382-001 - Rev C
lTypically the B100 readers will be powered from the controller, so ensure the con-
troller power supply outputs enough current for the controller and all of the con-
nected devices.
lThe maximum current draw of the B100-PR is approximately 150mA.
lWhen using a separate power supply for the reader, connect the GND 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.
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.

6.0 Add the B100-PR to BioManager
Once you have installed the BioManager Software, setup the CNV-1000 converter, set
the reader's DIP switch and added the CNV converter as a portal, you are ready to add
the B100-PR reader to the BioManager software.
6.1 Scan for the B100 Reader
When using the CNV-1000 converter you can use the scan facility. Scanning will auto-
matically detect the readerand therefore you do not initially have to know the device
ID/serial number - this is therefore the quickest and easiest method of adding the B100
reader.
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 desktop client icon.
2. If it is the first time you are using BioManager you will be logged in automatically,
otherwise you may be prompted for a user name and password.
3. From within the BioManager software, right-click on the communication portal.
4. Select Search devices.
5. A 15-second timer will begin to count down.
6. The detected BioSync reader(s) will display in the search window.

8.0 Enrolling 26-Bit Wiegand Credentials
The following section explains how to add 26-bit Wiegand credentials, for example
125KHz HID ISOProx or ProxCard II credentials.
Note: As well as the Imprint (number printed on the card/tag) you will also need to know
the programmed facility code. If you do not know either the facility code or the printed
number you will have to use Doors.NET to detect them - Further details near the end of
this document.

10. The user and the 26-bit Wiegand credential are now added to the BioManager soft-
ware and is ready to enroll into Doors.NET.
9.0 Enrolling Fingerprints
Now that the credential has been enrolled, you are ready to enroll user fingerprints. The
fingerprint is associated with the enrolled User ID number, this means if the reader is in
Fingerprint-Only mode the same card number will be transmitted when the fingerprint is
verified (the same as with all other reader modes) - There is not a separate enrolled num-
ber associated with the fingerprint.
Note: If you have users which will only use fingerprint enrollment you would have to
enroll a number that will be transmitted when the fingerprint is verified.
1. Open an existing user record (which has a card/tag enrolled).
2. Click the Edit button.
3. In the fingerprint enrollment section, click on the B100 reader that will be used for
enrollment.
