PREFACE
FEATURES
Iris Camera BM-ET500 is designed for an iris physical
access system, which identifies the person with one’s iris
pattern.
•This system is composed of an iris camera, control unit,
and the administration PC (you need the optional soft-
ware BM-ES500). 
•Iris recognition technology is a way to identify a person
with iris patterns (an iris is the thin plate-shaped film in
front of the eyeball), which differ among each person.
When you look at the iris camera, the camera automati-
cally executes recognition procedures by capturing
your iris image.
Notes: 
•These operating instructions describe the details on iris
camera. Refer to the control units operating instructions
on how to install iris cameras and the control unit.
•To execute recognition, you need to register iris data in
advance. Refer to the dealer for details on how to
obtain the administration software.

•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 32 V DC
(when supplied from the control unit) or 24 V DC (when
supplied from an external power unit).
•This unit has no power switch. 
Power is supplied from Control Unit BM-ED500 or from
an external 24 V DC power-control device. Refer to the
control units operating instructions for how to turn
on/off the power.
Note:While the power is turned off, recognition and
entrance will be unavailable.•When you use an external power control unit, do the
following:
Turn on the external power control unit before turning
on Control Unit BM-ED500.
Turn off the external power control unit after turning off
the control unit.
•Consumable part 
Contact your dealer for the front panel replacement, for
example, when it is damaged or when you cannot rec-
ognize or enroll yourself.
Part number of the front panel: 3CF001017AAA
•Use of near-infrared ray
Near-infrared ray is used when iris data is enrolled or
recognized by the unit. The near-infrared ray is compli-
ant with the radiological safety standard of IEC60825-1.
•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
image 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 setting.
•Do the self-diagnostic test, when you open this unit
