be output or the live indicator will be off at all times.
Refer to system administrators for details on settings.
* If the previous version of Administration Software (BM-
ES300, BM-ES300A, or BM-ES330) is installed on the
iris server, you cannot set up iris readers or distribute
iris data from the iris server to iris readers.
• Take care not to pinch your hands or fingers
between the front panel and the body of this appara-
tus. That may cause injury.
• When the front panel is damaged, refer to the dealer.
It may affect iris image capturing and cause invalid
recognition.
• Avoid placing a receptacle that contains liquid such
as water.
When the liquid falls over the apparatus, it may cause a
fire or electric shock.
• Follow all instructions. Otherwise, our liability will
be limited.
For details, refer to Limitation of Liability (p. 4).
• Time adjustment
This apparatus has the inner clock. In the network
mode, the time of inner clock is synchronized to the iris
server once every hour.
While this apparatus is being used in the stand-alone
mode, adjust the inner clock time manually, or connect
this apparatus to an external master clock.
The time gap of 1 minute or more per month might be
caused by operating conditions.

imum number of users that can be registered is 50.
The users are registered with the numeric key. Registration from the browser installed on the setup PC is also available.
Network mode:In this mode, iris server is used for connection with the iris reader. The administration software, iris server, and
network connection are required. The number of users that can be registered in the iris server is 25 to 10 025.
Access control system:The system that controls access through iris recognition by iris readers and an iris server, together
with access control panels, card readers, and electric locks, etc.
Administration Software:Panasonic Administration Software BM-ES200 (This software is sold separately, however, it must be
used in combination with iris readers when the iris reader is used in the network mode.)
This software is used for administering iris enrollment/recognition. The total number of users that can be registered differs
depending on the total license numbers of User Licence Software BM-EU30000E Series (This software is sold separately,
however, it must be used in combination with iris readers.). If User Licence Software BM-EU30000E Series is not installed
on the iris server, up to 25 users can be enrolled.
Distribution:To transfer enrolled data from the iris server to iris readers and to save the data in the iris readers
Enrollment:To save a users iris data associated with the individual information (name and ID data, etc.) in the iris server
Iris data is enrolled using this iris reader or the administration software.
High speed serial interface:Connector that expands the functions of iris reader
Numeric key or external storage device can be connected.
ID data:The data, which is enrolled with each users information in an access control system with a card reader
