Physical Mounting and Site Preparation
The Biomax N-UltraFace multi-biometric terminal features an overall physical footprint of 200 mm in length, 125 mm in height, and 95 mm in width. When planning wall or turnstile installation, verify sufficient wall structural support and surface clearance to accommodate the chassis depth while maintaining comfortable access to the 2.8-inch TFT LCD color screen and keypad.
The terminal's optical face recognition camera integrates auto-focus technology and provides a verification distance of up to 1 meter. Because the optical sensor is rated for high-intensity illumination tolerance up to 100,000 LUX, the device can be installed in challenging ambient lighting locations such as corporate office reception lobbies, outdoor corridors, security gates, and factory perimeters. It operates effectively in both zero light and direct strong light conditions within an ambient operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C.
Power Supply and Electrical Termination
Stable, regulated electrical supply is required for uninterrupted operation of the terminal's 1 GHz processor, Linux operating system, and biometric capture sensors. The device requires an operating input power source rated at 12V DC, 2A.
- Ensure the dedicated 12V DC / 2A external power supply is wired with appropriate gauge cabling to prevent voltage drop over long line runs.
- Route DC power cables separately from high-voltage AC mains lines to avoid electromagnetic interference with the 500 DPI optical fingerprint sensor and internal RF modules.
Access Control Relay and Wiegand Integration
The Biomax N-UltraFace is engineered for integrated electromechanical door locking control. The unit includes an onboard physical output relay to trigger door unlocking mechanisms, such as smart locks, in corporate offices, banks, and production facilities.
For bidirectional access control setups, the terminal provides a dedicated Wiegand Input port. This interface permits direct integration with auxiliary external slave readers, including the Biomax KR26E RFID exit reader, enabling secure entry and exit logging through a single centralized controller profile.
Network Configuration and Data Interfaces
To enable multi-site management, automated user synchronisation (supporting up to 3,000 users, 3,000 faces, 30,000 fingerprint templates, and 3,000 RFID cards), and real-time transaction logging across its 200,000 record capacity, configure communication using one of the supported interfaces:
- TCP/IP Ethernet: Connect standard CAT5e/CAT6 cabling to the terminal's RJ45 port for hardwired local area network communication.
- Wi-Fi: Configure wireless parameters via the 2.8-inch TFT LCD user interface to enable cable-free network deployment where running network cabling is impractical.
- USB Host: Utilize the onboard USB Host port for offline manual data export, firmware maintenance, or configuration upload using a USB flash drive.
- Push Data Architecture: Connect the terminal to Biomax Desktop, Web, or Cloud software platforms via standard network infrastructure, or integrate directly with custom third-party systems using the available SDK.
