Every installation is unique. Sometimes the issues are well defined and can be handled in a standard fashion; sometimes the issues are very specific and may not be immediately recognizable. IDEMIA recommends following these steps for a successful installation: Plan the installation - Choose the type of hardware required, decide if a network is required, and decide on the location and number of required terminals.

If sharing power between devices, each unit must receive 2.5A at 12V (e.g. two units would require a 12VDC, 5A supply). IDEMIA recommends using a 24V power supply and AWG16 gauge cable. The voltage measured on the product block connector of the terminal must be equal to 12V-24V (-15% / +10%).

PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) VisionPass SP terminal's power supply can also be provided by the Ethernet using RJ45 connection (Power over Ethernet Plus mode - IEEE802.3at type 2 compliant). The terminal may be powered via a UL 294B PSE PoE+ Limited power source (IEEE802.3at type 2 compliant).
The internal relay is designed for at least 100 000 cycles (resistive load). Inductive load management requires a parallel diode for a better contact lifetime.

100 mA at 30 VDC max (Resistive load) according to the safety extra low voltage standard. This VisionPass SP terminal is part of security system; it is customer’s responsibility to connect the tamper switch (contact) to physical access controller, in order to prevent the access to the connector blocks.
If pull-up’s to 12V have been added on Wiegand IN D0 and Wiegand IN D1 inputs on a previous installation with a MorphoAccess® 500 Series terminal, these resistors must be removed to avoid any damage to the VisionPass SP terminal. VisionPass SP - 2023_2000073596...
LED1 and the GND wires, and it means “access granted”. The VisionPass SP terminal uses the timeout of the wait for a low level on the on LED1 wire or LED2 wire as “access denied” answer.
Page 41
To minimize at most the waiting time of the user, the VisionPass SP terminal timeout value, must be adjusted to a value a little bit higher than the maximal value of the controller response time. Warning: if the LED2 wire is connected, it must be constantly maintained in the high state.

The VisionPass SP terminal is driven through an Ethernet link using TCP, SSL or TLS protocol. The VisionPass SP terminal acts as a server: it is either waiting for a command or executing a command. The commands allowed by the VisionPass SP terminal are described in the VisionPass SP Host System Interface Specification document.
How to Activate? External database mode can be activated by setting “ucc.enable_external_database” parameter to 1. Only an admin user can activate polling mode. You can refer to the VisionPass SP Host System Interface Specification document to know how to set this parameter.

For best user experience and biometric performance, VisionPass SP is to be positioned at 1460 mm from the ground. In case the terminal is installed on a lower stand, IDEMIA recommends compensating the height with a pole. Pole 1460mm Gate...
8.2.3 > Lower positioning: 1105 mm In case VisionPass SP should positioned lower than the recommended height, there is an accessory “Low level wall mount” that can be used (see “6 / Accessories and PC applications”). This accessory allows to position VisionPass SP at 1105mm (from bottom screw) which reduced the height of around 300mm.
