PREFACE
FEATURE
This system is designed for an iris physical access system,
which identifies the person with one’s iris data.
This system is composed of an iris camera, control unit,
and the administration PC (you need Administration
Software BM-ES500, an additional system component). In
combination with electric locks, you can provide a com-
plete iris-enabled physical access system for a single door.
Notes: 
•These operating instructions describe the details on the
control unit. Refer to the iris camera’s operating instruc-
tions on how to identify people through iris cameras.
•To execute identification, you need to register iris data
in advance. (Refer to Administration Software BM-
ES500 Operating Instructions.) The control unit (BM-
ED500) enables you to register a person’s iris data into
the iris camera (BM-ET500) for subsequent recognition.

PRECAUTIONS
•Refer all work related to the installation of this
product to qualified service personnel or system
installers.
Consult an expert on the load bearing capacity of the
installation surface and structure. If the surface is not
strong enough, the camera may fall down. Refer to the
product specifications for weights.
•Do not drop metallic parts through slots.
This could permanently damage the appliance. Turn
the power off immediately and contact qualified service
personnel for service.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the appliance.
To prevent electric shock, do not remove screws or
covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact
qualified service personnel for maintenance.
•Handle the appliance with care.
Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the appli-
ance.
•Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture.
Do not try to operate it in wet areas.
Take immediate action if the appliance gets wet. Turn
the power off and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel. Moisture can damage the appliance and
also cause electric shocks.
•Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when
cleaning the appliance body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent
and wipe gently.
•Do not operate the appliance beyond its specified
temperature, humidity, or power source ratings.
Use the appliance at temperatures between 0 °C and
40 °C (between 32 °F and 104 °F) and humidity
between 30 % and 80 %. The input power source for
this appliance is 100 to 120 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not share
an AC outlet with devices that consume much electricity
(such as a copy machine or air conditioner).
•Do not operate the appliance while the door is open.
•Power switch
Power supply is not shut down only by turning off the
power switch. To shut it down, remove the power cord
from the AC socket, or turn off the external power-con-
trol device. Refer to p.19 for how to turn on/off the
power.
Note:While the power is turned off, recognition and
entrance will be unavailable.•Replacement part
Exchange the following parts for the same type.
F1: K5D632AQ0001
F101: K5D122AQ0001
•Indication
Refer to the bottom of the unit as to the indications of
equipment classification and power source, etc.
•This product is not designed to prevent theft in
advance. We shall not guarantee you for any trouble
caused by using this unit.
•If you are in a situation that iris recognition is
impossible from the exterior, recognition or
enrollment will be invalid.
•Iris data is privacy. Take enough care not to leak the
data out of the administration PC. It is also
recommended that you should get an agreement
from a person to register his or her data.
•We recommend that you note down your settings
and save them. Power or battery failure may erase
the settings you enter.
•Do the self-diagnostic test, when you open this unit
door for maintenance, etc. The self-diagnostic test
can be carried out by turning on a power supply.
(Refer to p. 19.)
