BIOC3 is a Wiegand biometric reader for indoors access control applications. It oers storage up to 9500 ingerprints and
programmable Wiegand Output (8 to 128 bits).
Coniguration of the readers and ingerprint enrollment is done through PC Software.
Connection between the biometric readers is RS485 and it is used for ingerprint transfer and coniguration.
When used with third party controllers, the connection between the Biometric readers and the PC is done through a converter
(CNV100RS485 to RS232 or CNV200RS485 to USB or CNV300RS485 to TCP/IP). Only one converter is needed per system (one
converter for 1, 2, 3...30, 31 Biometric readers)
The tamper switch output can trigger the alarm system, if an attempt is made to open or remove the unit from the wall.

5. CONNECTING BIOMETRIC READERS TO EWS CONTROLLER
- The Biometric readers can be connected to virtually any controller that conforms to Wiegand format standards (standard Wiegand
26bit or self-deined Wiegand).
- The lines D0 and D1 are the Wiegand lines and the Wiegand Number is sent through them.
- The RS485 line (A, B) is used for ingerprint transfer and reader settings.
- The Biometric readers must be powered from the controller.
- If you use dierent power supply for the biometric reader, connect the GND from the both devices to ensure correct transfer of
the wiegand signal
- When you have connected the reader and powered on, the LED should lash in orange light + 2 beeps. This lets you know it’s on
and ready for use.
- Fingerprint enrollment is done from the PC Software. Connection between the Biometric readers and the PC must be established.

5.1 CONNECTING BIOMETRIC READERS IN SAME RS485 LINE WITH THE EWS CONTROLLERS
• The Biometric readers are connected through RS485 bus. The same RS485 bus that the EWS controllers are connected to.
• Maximum units in one network (EWS + Biometric readers) is 32.
• If there are more than 32 units in one network, please utilize RS 485 HUB to connect.
• The RS485 Line should be conigured in the form of a daisy chain, NOT in a form of a star. If star must be used in some points, keep
the stubs from the RS485 backbone as short as possible. Maximum length of the stub is dependant of the installation (total
number of devices in RS485 line (total cable length, termination, cable type...) so recommendation is to keep stubs shorter than
5 meters, keeping in mind that this can be possible reason for errors in communication with PC software
• The cable must be twisted and shielded with a min. 0.2 mm2 cross section.
• Connect the ground (0V) of each unit in the RS 485 Line using a third wire in the same cable.
• The shield of the communication cable between two devices must be connected to the EARTH from ONE side of the RS 485 Line.
Use the side that has earth connection to the building’s grounding network.
5.2 CONNECTING BIOMETRIC READERS WHEN ALL THE CONTROLLERS HAVE TCP/IP COMMUNICATION
• When all the controllers are connected via TCP/IP, then the RS485 network becomes local (from Reader 1 to the Controller then
to the Reader 2).
• Connect the readers directly to the Rs485 terminals in each controller.
• If the distance Reader-Controller is high (50meters) and if the communication with the reader can not be established, then
terminate the RS485 network by closing the jumper in the EWS Controller or as described in chapter 4.

6. CONNECTING BIOMETRIC READERS TO THIRD PARTY CONTROLLERS
6.1 CONVERTERS PIN DESCRIPTION
• Connect the lines D0, D1, Gnd and +12V to the third party controller.
• Connect the RS485 Line (A, B) to the converter. Connect the converter in the PC.
• Fingerprint enrollment is done from the PC Software. Connection between the Biometric readers and the PC must be estab
lished.
• The Biometric readers communicate with each other with a RS485 and with the PC Software through a Converter.
• The RS485 Line should be conigured in the form of a daisy chain, NOT in a form of a star. Keep the stubs from the RS485 back
bone as short as possible (not more than 5 meters)
• Only one converter per installation is needed, not per reader.

In the event window a line will appear indicating the number of ingerprints stored in the reader. (8.12)
Note:
If more ingerprints are added for one user, all ingerprints will send the same Wiegand Code to the controller, the one written
in the ield User ID(card Number).

www.xprgroup.com 9
8.3 ENROLLING FINGERPRINTS FROM DESKTOP READER

10. WIEGAND PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION
The data is sent over the lines DATA 0 for the logic “0” and DATA 1 for the logic “1”. Both lines use inverted logic, meaning that a pulse
low on DATA 0 indicates a “0” and a pulse low on DATA 1 indicates a “1”.When the lines are high, no data is being sent. Only 1 of the 2
lines ( DATA 0 / DATA 1 ) can pulse at the same time.
Example: data 0010....
Data bit 0 = approximately 100 us (microseconds)
Data bit 1 = approximately 100 us (microseconds)
Time between two data bits: approximately 1 ms (millisecond). Both data lines (D0 and D1) are high.
Description for the 26 bits Wiegand format
Each data block consists of a irst parity bit P1, a ixed 8 bits header, 16 bits of user code and a 2nd
parity bit P2. Such a data block is shown bellow:
Parity bit (bit 1) + 8 bits header + 16 bits user code = 2 bytes + Parity bit (bit 26)
P1 XXXXXXXX XXXXYYYY YYYYYYYY P2
Example: 170 31527
1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0
Note: Parity bits are calculated as follows:
P1 = even parity calculated over the bits 2 to 13 (X)
P2 = odd parity calculated over the bits 14 to 25 (Y)

11. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not install the device in a place subject to direct sun light without protective cover.
Do not install the device and cabling close to a source of strong electro-magnetic ields like radio-transmitting antenna.
Do not place the device near or above heating equipments.
If cleaning, do not spray or splash water or other cleaning liquids but wipe it out with smooth cloth or towel.
Do not let children touch the device without supervision.
Note that if the sensor is cleaned by detergent, benzene or thinner, the surface will be damaged and the ingerprint can’t be entered.
