CONNECTING
THE
EARTH GROUND
2. CONNECTING
THE
EARTH GROUND
The reader's ground connection must be properly connected to avoid damage by Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Earth Ground (EGND) is a low-impedance path to earth for the purpose of discharging lightning, static, and radiated energy, and for maintaining the main service entrance at earth potential. Consult your local electrical codes for guidelines. The effects of ESD can degrade or destroy semiconductor junctions of an electronic device. To connect the unit to earth ground, connect the terminal labeled EGND (located on the rear of the unit) to earth ground. This terminal should not be connected to the neutral, to the cable shield, or to any other wire except earth ground. See Figures 1 and 2, below. The earth ground should use the largest wire possible (12 AWG) and be as close to the termination point (water pipe, etc.) as possible.

INSTALLATION
4. INSTALLATION
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. The steps for a successful installation are: 1. Plan the installation - Choose the type of hardware required, decide if a network is required, and decide on the location and number of required units. 2. Unpack all items - Unpack all items and crosscheck against the packing list. 3. Install components - Install the cabling and components needed to run the system. 4. Install software - Install the software needed to set up the readers. 5. Configure ports on PC - Configure the PC ports to support the reader. 6. Preconfigure reader - Connect the reader to the USB cable, supply power to the unit, and preconfigure the unit. 7. Mount readers - Mount the readers in their final locations. 8. Power distribution and reader hook up - Connect the reader wiring via the back panel. 9. Power-up procedure - Check the power connections and start the system safely. 10. Enroll users - Enroll users into the system (for user enrollment procedures. Chapters 5 through 13 in this document present more information on these steps.
V-Station readers should be installed by a qualified technician. If you are not qualified to perform an installation task, call Bioscrypt Technical Support or contact a qualified installer.

PLANNING
THE I NSTALLATION
5. PLANNING
THE I NSTALLATION
Planning the installation is the single most important aspect of a successful installation. In general, you need to consider the access controller, the door locks, the readers, and the need for a network. By the time you are ready to install the system, all of the details presented in the list below should be known. Take a moment to go through them now before starting your installation. During the planning phase, you should determine: What type of authentication is required for your application? How many doors need to be protected? V-Station readers control access to controlled areas; areas that do not require access control do not need readers. What type of reader will be on each door? Doors already inside a secure area might not need the same type or level of security. If multiple V-Station readers require networking for template distribution/management, then a dedicated PC is recommended to administer the system, as well as an RS-485 to RS-232 converter, and cabling for serial communications or cabling for Ethernet. Verify that the chosen access controller supports the Wiegand formats supported by V-Station readers. Identify all wiring by the signal levels it is to carry. Use separate cables/conduits for different signal groups to avoid cross talk. Plan to separate them by these groups: Power distribution: Wires carry power to readers, door strikes, etc. Data communication: RS-485, RS-232, USB, Wiegand, Ethernet, etc. Signal: Door contact, request-to-exit push button, alarm input, etc. When planning reader placement, determine the distance limitation of each signal type and use repeaters if necessary. Consider the environment where the reader will operate. It might be necessary to protect it with a Bioscrypt-approved weather shield. Determine the availability of a quality earth ground.
If you have any unresolved issues with the items on this list, contact Bioscrypt Technical Support for additional information before beginning any installation.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION
7. COMPONENT INSTALLATION
7.1. BASIC COMPONENT INSTALLATION
V-Station readers do not have built-in relays that allow them to control door locks; therefore, they must be part of a larger access control system. System component selection is specific to each installation, but a minimum system would consist of a finger-scan reader mounted on or near an access point, an electric lock, cabling, and an access controller. A more complex system might consist of readers at multiple access points (each with an electric door lock), a multi-point controller, networking, and a PC to run the access controller and VeriAdmin Management Software. See Figure 4 below for an example (non-Ethernet) system diagram.

Figure 4 - Example System Diagram Installation of locks and access controllers should be completed according to their respective manufacturers' specifications and in accordance with all local codes. Final connections to the V-Station are explained in more detail in Chapter 10. To avoid externally generated transients, do not run any wires near utility AC power wiring, lightning rod grounding wire, etc. Grounding equipment is required for ESD protection and safety.

COMPONENT INSTALLATION
7.2. CHOOSING
NETWORK TYPE
If your installation requires the use of network communications, then the choice of cable, the cable run length, the network topology, and the termination of the network are important aspects that must be considered. Table 1, below, outlines relevant differences between the RS-485 and RS-232 communication protocols. If your system has only one reader, or a few readers (each only a short distance away from the VeriAdmin PC) then RS-232 could be used, provided that each reader can have a dedicated RS-232 port. Spec Mode of Operation DC Isolation Maximum Distance Number of Readers on one line Maximum Data Rate RS-485 Differential DC Coupled No 4000 feet* 31 56 Kbps (recommended) RS-232 Single-ended DC Coupled No 150 feet* 1 56 Kbps* (recommended)
*Communications distances are dependent on baud rate. For example, with RS-232 at 9600 baud, a distance of 150 feet is possible with shielded cable, but at 56 Kbps, a maximum of only 20 feet is recommended. Table 1 - RS-485/RS-232 Communications Comparison 7.2.1. RS-485 NETWORK BASICS RS-485 has two distinct advantages over the more common RS-232. First, it allows you to connect up to 31 V-Station readers to a PC with an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter (available from Bioscrypt). Second, the RS-485 specification allows for cable run lengths up to 4000 feet (1200 meters) at modest baud rates. An RS-485 network is required instead of RS-232 if: Multiple readers must be connected together so that templates can be distributed among the readers The installation has only a single reader, but it is over 150 feet (45 meters) from the host PC.

Bioscrypt V-Station readers communicate with the VeriAdmin software through the Host port or through the USB Auxiliary port. Cables can be connected to either port on the V-Station reader, but the reader can communicate through only one port at a time. The default settings are shown below in Table 3. V-Station Factory Defaults Network ID Port Mode Host Port Protocol Host Port Baud Rate Aux Port Baud Rate IP Address 0 N/A (defaults to RS-232 for Host) RS-232 57600 baud 57600 baud 0.0.0.0 Table 3 - Factory Default Communication Settings The V-Station uses RJ-45 and RJ-11 connections at the rear of the reader for RS-485 and RS-232 respectively. These can also be connected via the Weidmuller connector. The Host port can be either RS-232 or RS-485, as discussed in Chapter 7. This option is configured in the V-Station Host Port section of the Communication tab in the Unit Parameters dialog of VeriAdmin. After installing the software, ports are configured by following the instructions below (to return to this screen later and for more information, refer to Chapter 6 in the V-Station Operator's Manual). To configure ports after installation: 1. Close the Welcome screen by clicking OK. 2. The Network Setup dialog is displayed (see Figure 10 on next page). 3. Indicate which ports to use by selecting the appropriate Use boxes (by default all available ports are selected). Do not select Ethernet unless you are using the Ethernet port. 4. Select the desired Port from the drop-down list. 5. Set the Baud rate either manually via the drop-down list or allow automatic detection by selecting the Auto checkbox. The Auto option should not be used for RS-485. If you are using RS-485, set the Reader to the proper baud rate manually.

V-Station readers are designed to mount on either a double-gang electrical box or on any flat surface. Consult with local professionals regarding any building and safety codes that might affect your installation. The following section describes the proper V-Station mounting. The correct mounting height is shown below in Figure 22. Factors to consider when determining the position of the reader on the wall: Proximity to other switch plates or fixtures (the reader should ideally be mounted in-line with other plates or fixtures) Distance from the floor to the top of the reader (Bioscrypt recommends using a height between 48 and 54 inches). The reader should be mounted on the knob-side of the door Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act if in the United States. Information about this Act is available at http://www.usdoj.gov.

MOUNTING PLATE
Mounting the reader is a simple operation. Use the following procedure to mount the reader. In Figure 25, the V-Pass model is shown but the procedure is identical to that of the V-Station. To mount the reader to the mounting plate: 1. Align the reader body with the wall plate (see Figure 25). 2. Slide the reader body down and lock the tabs into the wall plate. 3. At the bottom of the unit, secure the reader body to the wall plate with a #4-40 Phillips Head screw. 4. With a twisting motion, attach the Aux port door to the bottom of reader (see Figure 26). 5. Secure the Aux port door to the reader body with a #6-32 Security Hex screw. 6. Secure the reader to the bracket on the bottom right of the mounting plate with a second #6-32 Security Hex screw.

V-Station readers offer RS-232, RS-485, and USB communication channels for communicating with a PC or host controller. V-Station readers can also use the Wiegand protocol to interface with Access Control equipment, such as access controllers (outputs) or additional readers (inputs) in 1:1 mode. Bioscrypt recommends using a dedicated power source. V-Station readers should not be placed in series with any other relays or other equipment. In a small installation, power may be provided by means of an AC adapter placed near the V-Station reader. In larger installations, power is usually distributed from a central source.
When planning a system, know the power requirement of each reader. If multiple readers are to share a common power supply, exercise care to avoid excessive voltage loss on the wires. Voltage loss can lead to communication problems when readers are talking and/or listening on different ground references. Voltage loss is directly proportional to wire resistance and the current the wire carries. Always place the reader as close as possible to the power supply and always select a wire size appropriate for the load. V-Station readers run on DC power between 12.5 and 24 VDC. Power requirements for all V-Station models are listed below in Table 4. Power Requirement: Input Voltage Range: Peak Current (12 VDC) Peak Current (24 VDC) 12 watts 12.5-24.0 VDC 1A 500 mA

THE
Most power supplies on the market today provide good input and output isolation. However, power supplies which do not provide isolation (or have high leakage capacitance), coupled with accidental AC power line interchanges, present serious ground fault problems for installers. With a ground fault, the signal reference between subsystems may be 115 VAC apart. If these subsystems are interconnected, the large potential difference can cause equipment damage or personal injury. Bioscrypt recommends using a dedicated power supply. All factory-supplied power supply assemblies are either switching or regulated linear supplies and are isolated for safety and to minimize ground loop problems.

The finger mask (conductive plastic that surrounds the finger-scan sensor) is sometimes referred to as an ESD shield. The largest size of cable that can be used for the ESD shield is 12 AWG, and its length should kept as short as possible. The ground (EGND) terminal on the unit should be connected in a direct (homerun) configuration to a solid earth ground such as a copper cold water pipe or a building ground. See Chapter 2 for more details. Do not connect the ESD shield to Power Ground! The solid earth ground connection that is chosen should measure less than 4 ohms resistance when measured against a known earth ground.
12.5. RS-485
RS-232, RS-485, and USB can be used for communication with a PC running V-Stationcompatible software, such as the Bioscrypt VeriAdmin software. The RS-232 and USB connection protocols are used when communicating with only a single reader at a time. If the readers are networked, the RS-485 connection protocol must be used. For a PC that is administering an RS-485 network, an RS-232 to RS-485 converter is required. RS-485 connections between readers should be made by connecting the (+) and (-) lines of the differential RS-485 in a daisy-chain configuration (see Section 7.3.2 on Page 16). For example, the (+) line from one reader is connected to the (+) line of the next reader and so on; likewise for the (-) lines. Figure 27, below, shows the wiring of an RS-232 to RS-485 converter (shown with optional VeriSeries readers for reference).

Before a reader can be connected to an RS-485 subsystem, it must be checked for ground faults. An uncorrected ground fault can damage all readers connected to the RS-485 communication line. To check for a ground fault on the RS-232 to RS-485 converter: 1. Apply power to the RS-232 to RS-485 converter. 2. Connect the signal ground of the RS-485 line through a 10k ohm current-limiting resistor to the signal ground of the RS-232 to RS-485 converter. 3. There should be no more than 1 volt across the resistor.
42
Connect the new reader to the RS-485 line only if no ground fault is found.
