Control Unit BM-ED500 is used in an access control system. The control unit, which carries out the enrollment and recognition
of iris data, which is generated from the iris images captured by Iris Camera BM-ET500, is available for following uses.
(Iris Camera BM-ET500 is sold separately, however, it must be used in combination with the control unit.)
• As a control unit for iris image capturing and Administration PC enrollment
To activate iris recognition, it is necessary to capture the iris images of a user and enroll the iris data in the administration
PC. A control unit (for enrollment) generates iris data from iris images captured by an iris camera (for enrollment), and
transfers the data to the administration PC in the LAN (Local Area Network). The iris data is enrolled in the iris database of
the administration PC. Up to 2 000 users can enroll their iris data. *1
*1 To administer the iris data captured by an iris camera and generated by a control unit, you need to install the optional
Administration Software BM-ES500E onto a PC. Refer to the manuals of BM-ES500E for details.
• As a control unit for iris recognition
The user can have his/her iris image captured only by looking at the iris camera (for recognition). It will take approx. 3 sec-
onds between capturing and recognition.*2 The user can check the recognition result with the status indicator
(ACCEPT/REJECT) on the front side of the iris camera.
Iris data of up to 1 000 users can be distributed from the administration PC to recognition cameras.
*2 The recognition time may differ
depending on capturing condi-
tions.
*3 The iris camera (for enrollment)
captures the iris images of both
eyes at the same time, but the
iris data of each eye is enrolled
separately.
*4 Capturing diagnosis is made
by the administration software
at the time of enrollment.
*5 Up to 127 gate systems (an iris
camera and control unit) can
be connected to the adminis-
tration PC in the LAN. The con-
trol unit can also be used as
both for enrollment and recog-
nition by changing the opera-
tion mode.
• 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. The iris pattern of the left eye differs from that
of the right eye.
• Using iris cameras, users can carry out recognition without touching any devices.
• The iris data of users need to be enrolled in the administration PC. In the iris recognition
process, the users are recognized with the enrolled iris data.
For enrollment (an iris camera and a control unit)*
5
Iris images of both eyes are captured by an iris camera (for
enrollment), generated into the iris data by a control unit (for
enrollment), transferred to the administration PC. Then, the iris data
is enrolled into and managed in the iris database. *3

• Control of iris cameras (for enrollment and recognition)
Up to 3 iris cameras (2 external power supply devices for iris cameras) can be connected to a control unit.
This product cannot control both of iris cameras for enrollment and recognition at the same time. Refer to Administration
Software BM-ES500E Administrator's Guide.
• One-time capturing of both eyes enables recognition in approx. 3 seconds*
An iris camera captures the iris images of both eyes at the same time. A control unit generates iris data from the captured
iris images, and compares the data with that distributed to the control unit. If either of the iris data is corresponding with the
iris data distributed, you will be recognized as an enrolled user. The recognition time will be approx. 3 seconds (approx. 2
seconds for capturing and 1 second for recognition)*1.
*1 The recognition time may differ depending on capturing conditions.
• Access control system can be composed.
Iris cameras, control units, and the administration PC can compose an access control system in combination with access
control panels*2 and electric locks*2, etc.
*2 These devices are independent to BM-ED500.
• Supporting a common access control interface
Recognition result outputs support Wiegand, which is one of the interfaces commonly used for access control systems.
Any access control panel supporting the interface can be directly connected to the control unit. The control unit can also
output signals to RS-485 devices, as well as controlling Solenoid electric locks, if they are directly connected to the control
unit.
