1. DESCRIPTION
BIOPROX-EM is a Wiegand biometric and proximity reader for access control applications with programmable wiegand output. It
offers storage of up to 9500 fingerprints, it reads EM4100 compatible cards/tags and has a programmable Wiegand Output (8 to
128 bits).
The tamper switch output can trigger the alarm system, if an attempt is made to open or remove the unit from the wall.

3. MOUNTING
If the biometric reader is installed and used outdoor, the reader MUST be fitted with the ATP polycarbonate cover available in our
accessories in order to protect the sensor from direct rainfall. The operating temperature of the product is between -15ºC - + 60ºC.
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. XPR™ cannot guarantee the functionality of the
product if measures and advice before are not followed.
It is also strongly recommended to use double technology biometric readers when use outdoor to offer first higher security but also
the possibility to use different readers depending on users.

- The Biometric readers can be connected to virtually any controller that conforms to Wiegand format standards (standard Wiegand
26bit or self-defined 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 fingerprint transfer and reader settings.
- The Biometric readers must be powered from the controller.
- If you use different 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 flash 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 configured 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.

The Biometric readers communicate with each other with a RS485 and with the PC Software through a Converter.
The RS485 Line should be configured in the form of a daisy chain, NOT in a form of a star. Keep the stubs from the RS485 backbone
as short as possible (not more than 5 meters)
Only one converter per installation is needed, not per reader.

1. Open the Users Window and create a new user.
Click on “New User”, put a name, ID(card number). (8.7)
2. Go to the “Biometric” Tab
3. Select the reader(with left click) from which the enrollment will be done. (8.8)
4. Right click on the fingertip and select enroll. (8.9)
5. In the next 25 sec. present the finger on the selected reader and the finger tip will turn red, with the percentage of

6. Repeat point 4&5 for each finger that should be enrolled.
7. Click on “Save New” and the fingerprint will be sent automatically to all Biometric Readers where that user has access, i.e. to
all the readers according to the Access Level assign to that user.
Example:
If the user has “Unlimited” Access level then the fingerprints will be sent to all readers, if the user has Access level only for
Reader1 and Reader 3 then the fingerprints will be sent only to those two readers.
Note:
To check if all the fingerprints are sent to the reader, right click on the reader and select “Memory Status”. (8.11)
In the event window a line will appear indicating the number of fingerprints stored in the reader. (8.12)

7. Click on “Save New” and the fingerprint will be sent automatically to all Biometric Readers where that user has access, i.e. to all
the readers according to the Access Level assign to that user.
If the reader is off line, the fingers will be sent upon the connection is established between PROS server and the reader. No need for
additional enrollment or actions. The fingerprints will be sent as soon as communication is established.
Example:
If the user has “Unlimited” Access level then the fingerprints will be sent to all readers, if the user has Access level only for Reader1
and Reader 3 then the fingerprints will be sent only to those two readers.
Note:
To check if all the fingerprints are sent to the reader, right click on the reader and select “Memory Status”. (8.11)
