Cable transfer ekey home is a biometric access system which is equipped with a finger scanner. This scanner reads special features of your finger lines and uses them to recognise people with access rights. Each one of your fingers has specific recognition features and also varies from the fingers of other people. ekey home is available in different functional and mechanical versions and can therefore be optimally adapted to your needs.
General ekey control panel versions The ekey home control panels are intended to directly control an electric motor lock. This is usually relay 1 for a door wiring. ekey home CP WM 1 wall-mounted 1 relay ekey home CP WM 3...

System changes (fingerprint enrollment, etc.) can only be made via the ekey home control panel situated in a secure area. The access to the menu in the ekey home control panel is secured with a security code. This is an additional obstacle within the system for unauthorized users.
7.2 OPERATING THE FINGER SCANNERS 7.2.1 FUNCTION OF THE FINGER SCANNER ekey finger scanners are exclusively equipped with line (swipe) sensors. To capture a fingerprint, please draw your finger over the sensor. The system records the image of the fingerprint lines (papillary lines) line by line and compiles an image from the individual rows.

The individual control panels essentially differ in their method of installation. The method of operation, however, is identical for the ekey home CP IN and the ekey home CP WM. The ekey home CP DRM is the more recent model featuring an LCD display. In addition, the state of the relay outputs is indicated via LEDs.
General 8.2 OPERATION 8.2.1 EKEY HOME CP IN AND EKEY HOME CP WM 8.2.1.1 OPERATING THE BUTTONS Four buttons are used for the operation: = OK button: is used to enter the menu and to confirm entries. < and > buttons: are used to change the values on the display or for navigating in the programming menu (see diagram in section 8.2.1.5)

If it was necessary to replace the control panel because it was defective, then fingers had already been recorded in the ekey home finger scanner. In order not to have them deleted, a pre-recorded finger may now be swiped over the sensor, and the initialization process is started without deleting any data.
8.2.1.7 ENROLLING A FINGERPRINT IN THE SYSTEM In ekey home a maximum of 99 fingerprints can be enrolled. These 99 fingerprints can be assigned to 99 user IDs. You can for example administrate 11 users, each one enrolling 9 fingerprints or administrate 99 users, each one enrolling only 1 fingerprint or opt for any other mixed setup.

Please be aware that the device cannot be operated further without setting a new security code. If you enter a new security code, then you will always need this code in the future in order to make changes (finger enrollment, delete user, etc.) in your ekey home system.

7.) Press the OK button 8.) “OK” is displayed for a short time. The device then returns to normal mode 9.) Memorize your security code, or write it down and keep it in a safe place, separately from the ekey home control panel.

That relay thereby works as a switch and does not emit an impulse. If there is a power cut or a RESET on the ekey home FS or the ekey home CP due to a trouble signal in this operating mode (relay permanently closed), then the relay always restarts in idle state once the power supply has been reconnected (or after the reset).

CONTROLS The ekey home CP DRM has 4 buttons and an LCD display for system operation and programming. It also features a sliding switch to switch on and off the bus termination, as well as 1 respectively 2 LEDs for relay status and digital input signaling.
When the devices are connected to the power supply, the language selection is displayed on the ekey home CP DRM. Once the boot procedure on the ekey home FS has been completed, the status LED of the finger scanner begins flashing in orange or blue colour.

6.) “Initializing OK ” is then displayed for 1-5s. The control panel and the finger scanner have now been coupled. 7.) Now the 14-digit serial number and the 4-digit software version number of the ekey home CP DRM and of the ekey home FS (finger scanner) are displayed. The initialization procedure has now been concluded.

8.2.2.5 ENROLLING A FINGERPRINT IN THE SYSTEM In ekey home a maximum of 99 fingerprints can be enrolled. These 99 fingerprints can be assigned to 99 user IDs. You can thus for example administrate 11 users, each one enrolling 9 fingerprints or administrate 99 users, each one enrolling only 1 fingerprint or opt for any other mixed setup.

9.) Define which relay should switch. For your ekey home system to open the right door, you must allocate a relay to the selected finger. Later on, in normal operation mode, each time you will swipe your finger over the sensor, then the allocated relay will switch.

8.) The system returns automatically to the main menu. 9.) Memorize your security code, or write it down and keep it in a safe place, separately from the ekey home CP DRM. Your security code is now enabled. Each time you wish to make entries in the system (enroll or delete users, change the relay switching times, …), you need to enter this security code.

If there is a power cut or a RESET on the ekey home FS or on the ekey home CP due to a trouble signal in this operating mode (relay permanently closed), then the relay always restarts in the status you selected once the power supply has been reconnected (or after the reset).

, the procedure will take a couple of seconds. The system will reset all the settings and delete all the enrolled fingers. At the end of the RESET procedure, you will be asked on the ekey home CP DRM display to select a language, and the ekey home finger scanner lights up orange.
In this mode, you can manually activate the relay output via the menu of the ekey home CP DRM. This way, you can verify in a simple manner if the locking system has been wired properly.
8.2.2.11 LED INTENSITY The ekey home CP DRM allows you to define the LED intensity of the status LED on the finger scanners in idle mode. The status LED is always preset on „On“ (factory setting) and lights up blue with maximum intensity.

“ekey home” products. That is to say, you can, as long as ekey makes it available on the homepage, update the software of your ekey devices (ekey home finger scanner and ekey home control panel) with a software update kit to the latest available firmware version.
Care of the sensor area Sensor areas The sensor area of the finger scanner is the most important element of your ekey home system and needs to be taken care of accordingly in order to function reliably and durably. The sensor area is self-cleaning, since fingers are being swept regularly over it, and therefore needs no special maintenance.
General Accessories ekey supplies a wide range of accessories for its biometric systems. Please contact either your ekey partner, your ekey installer or ekey itself for accessories such as: power supplies pre-configured cables in-wall sets and mounting aids design elements milling samples etc.
