BioSync Fingerprint Readers 1.0 Introduction Setting up a KBF-3KP reader on a new installation is a three step process. Each of these steps is covered in its own document: BioManager Software Installation (p/n: 02301-001) CNV Converter Setup (p/n: 02303-001) - (used to connect to the BioSync via eth-...
Note: On the reverse of the KBF-3KP (under the mounting bracket), you will see a white label which has a wiring diagram and the device ID/serial number - you should make a note of this number.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 3.0 Wiring Instructions Wiring to an NXT RM3 (Reader Interface Module) Reader Interface Module Notes: On the Reader Interface Module the J3 jumper should be set to pins 1 and 2. This will provide 12VDC to the BioSync reader and when correctly set the D10 LED should be solid red.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers Wiring to the PXL-500W Controller PXL Notes: On 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. Wiring to an EP Controller (i.e EP-1502) EP Controller Notes BioSync readers have two LED lines but the EP controllers only have one LED pin-out.

Typically 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. The current draw for the BioSync KBF-3KP is approx. 130mA max. - 7 - P/N: 02304-003 Rev. B...

BioSync Fingerprint Readers When using a separate power supply for the BioSync, connect the Ground for both devices to ensure correct transfer of the Wiegand signal. When you have connected the reader to the controller and applied power, the BioSync LED bar should flash amber and the reader will beep twice. When the BioSync 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.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 5.0 Enrolling Users via the 3KP Reader 1. Double-click the Users link to open the User window. 2. Click the New User button. 3. Enter a User ID (Cardnumber) - This is the number that will be transmitted by the BioSync to the Doors.NET software - It therefore will be unique to each users.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 6.0 Enrolling Fingerprints Now that the unique user number has been enrolled, you are ready to enroll user fin- gerprints. The fingerprint is associated with the enrolled User ID number. 1. In the Biometric section, select the reader (left-click) which will be used for enroll- ment.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 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 Reader 1 and Reader 3 then the fin- gerprints will be sent only to those two readers. Note: If more fingerprints are added for one user, all fingerprints will send the same Wiegand Code (the User ID) to the controller.
BioSync Fingerprint Readers 8.0 Deleting Fingerprints In general, the fingerprints are stored in the biometric reader and in the software. Delet- ing can be done only in the readers or from both places. Deleting one user from the biometric reader Select the user Click on “Delete User”.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 11.0 Enrolling the Users into Doors.NET The same users now need to be added to Doors.NET because so far we have only added the users to the BioManager software and the BioSync reader (not to the controller). In this example the BioSync reader is wired into an NXT-MSC controller but the same setup procedure applies to all controller types.

BioSync Fingerprint Readers 10. Save the new record 11. If you now gain access at the BioSync reader the reader's LED should go green and you should see an access granted event in the Live Events grid. 12. As previously mentioned, the fingerprint is associated with the User ID/Credential number so even if the BioSync is set to Finger/Finger or Card modes, and you only present the enrolled finger, the same name and card number will appear in Live Events.
