EyeAllow Installation Guide

Congratulations on selecting one of the best multi-modal solutions on the market!

Our EyeAllow biometric reader is easily installed by a trained technician using the following steps. Connecting both this and our Access200 to the access control system is covered in the document titled "Connecting the EyeAllow/Access200/Access200W to Identity Server".

What's in the Box

Each EyeAllow reader shipment includes the following items:

• EyeAllow biometric reader
• Instruction Manual (click to open/download)
• T10 Security Key for tamper-proof screws

Other Required Items 

The following items should be gathered prior to beginning the installation process.

• Hardware
  • Ethernet cable (CAT5e or higher) with power and network connection to communicate with:
    • EmbraceID: Identity Server
    • CreateID: Internet (outbound only)
  • Wiegand or OSDP wires from the access control panel
  • External card reader (if desired) 
• *Tools
  • Standard screwdriver set
  • Mini screwdriver set (used to secure wires into the EyeAllow indoor reader control board)   

*Please note that additional tools may be required for creating wall openings, mounting the gang box, locating wires, etc.  

Instructions

• EyeAllow biometric readers are designed to be mounted to a standard 1-gang electrical box.
• Carefully unpack all items from the EyeAllow shipping box once the electrical box is properly installed per the manufacturer's instructions.
• EyeAllow devices require the following connections for power and communications:
  • Power - Power can be supplied to EyeAllow devices via a Cat 5e or higher cable connected to a PoE+ switch. Note that managed/configurable PoE+ switches must be configured for 30W max output. 
  • Communication with Identity Server - If power is provided via a PoE+ connection, then no additional connection is required to establish communication with Princeton Identity's Identity Server software.  
  • Communication with the Physical Access Control System (PACS) - Communication with the PACS is done via Wiegand wires. Alternatively, customers may choose to purchase their EyeAllow devices with an optional OSDP interface. Connecting to the PACS via Wiegand requires 3, 20 AWG (this is typically 22/6 shielded when existing wiring is present) wires.  For OSDP, a 2-wire RS-485 communication cable is used.
• Remove the two screws on the bottom of the device which secure the back panel to the EyeAllow reader using the supplied T10 Security Key. Disconnect the cable that connects the back panel to the front face. EyeAllow is sealed at the factory and should not be opened in the field.
• Perform the following after routing the necessary connections as described above and installing the required 1-gang electrical box at the desired location. 
• Mount the back panel to the 1-gang electrical box.
• The EyeAllow device can now be connected to the PACS and external power source (if required) per the following instructions based on the type of installation being performed.

Wiring

• All PACS connections for indoor Access units are made to the wall bracket connection board.
• The wall bracket connection board is designed to accommodate a range of system configurations. Please refer to the following figures for the proper wiring for your system. If you have a configuration that is not identified, please contact support@princetonidentity.com for further assistance.
• Connect the device interface cable from the EyeAllow to the receptacle on the wall bracket connection board once the required connections described above have been completed. 
• Connect the Ethernet to the back of the EyeAllow device. 
• Clip the EyeAllow to the wall bracket locating the top of the device into the upper clips first, then lower the bottom of the device into the bracket and gently press down.
• Reinstall the security screws (quantity 2) into place at the bottom of the unit using the provided screws and Allen wrench.

NOTE:

- All ground wires can be used for each group. 

Your EyeAllow can now be connected to Identity Server via a web browser. Enjoy!
