PREFACE Iris Camera BM-ET300AE is used in an access control system. The iris camera, which captures a user's iris image, is available for following uses. • As an enrollment camera for iris image capturing and iris server enrollment To activate iris recognition, it is necessary to capture the iris images of a user and enroll the iris data in the iris server. An iris camera generates iris data from iris images captured, and transfers the data to the iris server in the LAN (Local Area Network).
FEATURES • Automatic guidance and recognition by voice guidance and guide indicator When a user is within 50 cm {1.64 ft.} of the front of an iris camera, the voice guidance will start. Moving to the point where the user can see both eyes in the mirror according to the voice guidance or guide indicator, the user's iris images will be automatically captured and the user will be recognized from the iris data. The recognition range of the iris camera is between approx. 30 cm {0.98 ft.} and 40 cm {1.32 ft.}.

TROUBLESHOOTING ■ When Enrollment/Recognition Becomes Invalid When iris data enrollment/recognition becomes invalid or takes too much time, check to see the following. If the trouble cannot be corrected even after checking and trying the remedy, refer to the system administrator. Check item You may not open your eyes widely enough during capturing. Remedy Keep your eyes opened as wide as you can until the capturing process is completed.
Check item Remedy The contact lenses may have not been on the appropriate position. If a lens has slipped off the eye's corneal surface, the contact edge may hide the iris images. That may cause invalid recognition. In this case, move the contact lens back to the corneal surface by blinking. You may have been wearing colour contact lenses. Depending on the lens colour, recognition may be invalid.
Problem Check item Remedy • You may not have opened your eyes widely during capturing. • You may have been looking above or below the mirror. • You may have moved quickly during capturing. • Light has been reflecting on the glasses. • The contact lenses may have not been in the appropriate position. • You may have been wearing colour contact lenses. Enrollment/Recognition is invalid. In the following cases, the recognition/ enrollment will fail. Refer to pp. 20, 21 to 23, and 30 to 31.
