    When connecting your iPB4 to a power supply, it is important to know how much power the device will draw at peak, and what the average consumption is. This is very important especially when connecting the device via PoE.
  • Page 11 In the case where both the iPB4 and a locking mechanism are connected, it is recommended that a minimum power supply of 1,5A or 17W is supplied.

    More information about SABS certification can be found on the SABS website at the following address: https://www.sabs.co.za/ The iPB4 range of biometric devices has been extensively tested and found to be compliant with the SABS standards applicable to electronic devices.
  • Page 14: Section 4 Unpacking The Box

    SECTION 4 UNPACKING THE BOX Thank you for purchasing an iPulse iPB4 Biometric device. Your iPB4 should be packaged neatly into a sturdy and securely built box, clearly branded with the iPulse brand, and your device name. When opening the box, you should find your biometric reader and IntelliRelay™ securely packaged in a high-density foam casing, which has been carefully selected to provide your product with maximum protection during shipping.
  • Page 15: Figure 6 - Ipb4 & Intellirelay

    Figure 5 – iPB4 & IntelliRelay Finally, and if you look at the rear casing of the iPB4 biometric device, you should also see a sticker that has some important information on it. Some, or perhaps all, of this information will be needed during the configuration of the iPB4 reader, depending on which software solution you are using it with, and the specific requirements of your network.
  • Page 16 The serial number of the reader, normally in the format IPU-0000-0000, is a unique identifier issued and created by iPulse for every device they sell. This serial number is used to determine the warranty period of the device, and to track its movement history from the time it was manufactured until its eventual removal from service.

    SECTION 6 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Your iPB4 biometric device is rated as an IP52 unit. For more information on what this means, please see Appendix A – Understanding IP Ratings. A conversion kit is available that allows you to increase the IP rating of device. For more information, please ask your supplier or visit www.ipulsesystems.com.

    Figure 10 - Connecting your iPB4 You can connect this cable to the RJ45 connector on the exposed PCB of the iPB4 reader, and this is all that is required to add or remove the device to the system once the IntelliRelay™ is correctly wired and configured (see Figure 10 - Connecting your iPB4 above).
  • Page 22: Section 7 Configuring Your Device

    Your iPB4 biometric device is capable of speaking to you. Much like R2D2, the Star Wars robot, your iPB4 uses a series of lights and sounds to tell you what is going on. For a full listing of the meaning of all the types of sounds and lights shown by your device, please see Appendix B –...

Should all be successful, you will hear three rapid beeps, followed by a GREEN flash, which means that your iPB4 has successfully connected to the Internet.
  • Page 24: Section 8 Iqsuite And Other Software

    The configuration and use of your iPBx Biometric Device is dependent on the type of software you are using. All iPBx devices are compatible with the iPulse IQSuite.cloud software system, both in the hosted or local environments, and are configured to work out of the box in what is known as a zero-configuration mode (ZCM).
