 EARTH GROUND  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  42 Earth Ground  It is extremely critical for proper operation of the Reader that the earth ground be properly connected to avoid damage by ESD.  Connect the terminal labeled EGND to earth ground.  This wire should not be connected to the neutral, the cable shield, or any other wire except earth ground.   See Figure 1 (PIV-Station Contactless CHUID Reader shown) below. • EARTH GROUND:  A low impedance path to earth for the purpose of discharging lightning, static, and radiated energy, and to maintain the main service entrance at earth potential.  Consult local codes for guidelines.   • ESD:  Electrostatic Discharge (static electricity).  The effects of a static discharge can degrade or destroy semiconductor junctions for an electronic device.

 STEPS IN A COMPREHENSIVE INSTALLATION  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  64 Steps in a Comprehensive Installation Every installation is unique.  Sometimes the issues are well defined and can be handled in a standard fashion; sometimes the issues are very specific and may not be immediately recognizable.  This document addresses the issues that may be faced with during a standard installation.  The steps for a successful installation are:   • Planning the Installation – Choose the type of hardware required, decide if a network is required, and the location and number of Readers required.   • Unpack All Items – Unpack all items and cross check against packing list. • Install Components – Install the cabling and components needed to run system • Install Software – Install the software needed to set up the Readers.   • Configure ports on the PC – Configure the PC ports to support reader.   • Connect reader for configuration – Connect Reader to USB cable and supply power to unit.   • Mount Readers – Mount the Readers in their final locations.   • Power distribution and reader hook up – Reader wiring via the back panel.   • Power-up Procedure – Check proper power connections and start system safely.   • User interface –Users can begin to use system.     This manual will provide more information on each of these steps in order.    WARNING.  PIV-Station readers must be installed by a qualified technician.  If at anytime you do not feel qualified to perform a task, call Bioscrypt technical support or contact a qualified installer.
 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  75 Planning the Installation Planning the installation is probably the single most important aspect to a successful installation.  By the time you are installing the system all of these details should already be known.  If not, take a moment to go through them now before beginning installation of any Readers.  Planning for installation must take in to consideration:  the access controller, the door locks, the readers, and the need for a network.   During the planning phase, you should determine:   •  What type of authentification is required for your application? •  How many doors need to be protected? The PIV-Station readers control access to a controlled area; areas that do not require access control don’t need readers.   •  What type of reader will be on each door?  Doors already inside a secure area may not need the same type or level of security.   •  If multiple PIV-Station readers require networking for template distribution/management, then a dedicated PC is recommended to administer the system as well as an RS-485 – RS-232 converter and cabling for serial communications or cabling for Ethernet.   •  Verify that the access controller supports any of the Wiegand formats supported by the PIV-Station readers.   •  When planning the system, identify all wiring by the signal levels they are to carry.  Use separate cable/conduit for different signal groups to avoid cross talk.  Plan to separate them by the following groups:   1.  Power distribution:  Wires carry power to readers, door strikes, etc.   2.  Data communication:  RS-485, RS-232, USB, Wiegand, Ethernet, etc.   3.  Signal:  Door contact, request to exit push button, alarm input, etc.   •  Determine any distance limitation of each type of signal when planning reader placement and use repeaters as needed.   •  Consider the environment where the equipment will operate, it may be necessary to protect the installation with a Bioscrypt approved weather shield.   •  Available quality earth ground.     If you have any unresolved issues with the items on this list contact Bioscrypt Technical Support for additional information before beginning any installation.

 COMPONENT INSTALLATION  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  97 Component Installation 7.1 Basic Component Installation The PIV-Station readers do not have built-in relays that would allow them to control a door lock, and therefore, they must be part of a larger access control system.  System component selection is very specific to each installation but a minimum system would consist of a finger-scan reader mounted on or near an access point, an electric lock, cabling, and the access controller.  More complex systems might consist of readers on multiple access points, each with an electric door lock, a multi-point controller, networking and a PC to run the access controller and VeriAdmin Management Software.   See Figure 3 below for an example (not for Ethernet). The installation of the locks and access controllers should be completed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and in accordance with all local codes.  Final connections to the PIV-Station will be covered in more detail later.   Wiegand, RS-232, and power cabling for the system are minor aspects to the installation, requiring nothing more than planning the cabling route and pulling the cable through the building.  It requires only that one is familiar with basic electrical installation theory.   Do not run any wires near utility AC power wiring, lightning rod grounding wire, and etc. to avoid externally generated transients.  Grounding equipment is required for ESD protection and safety.    Figure 3:  Complete System Overview 7.2  Choosing a Network Type If your installation requires the use of network communications, then the choice of cable, the cable run length, the network topology, and termination of the network are very important aspects that must not be overlooked.  Table 1 outlines the relevant differences between an RS-485 and RS-232 communications.  If your system has one or a few readers each only a short distance away from the VeriAdmin PC then RS-232 could be used providing that each reader can have a dedicated RS-232 port.

 COMPONENT INSTALLATION  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  10Table 1:  RS-485 / RS-232 Communications Comparison 7.2.1  Basics of RS-485 networks RS-485 is a networking specification similar to Ethernet, which is used for computer networks but RS-485 is not compatible with modern computer networks.   RS-485 has two distinct advantages over the more common RS-232.  First, it allows you to connect up to 31 PIV-Station readers to a PC using an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter available from Bioscrypt.  Second, the RS-485 specification allows for cable run lengths up to 4000 feet (1200 meters) at modest baud rates.   An RS-485 network is required instead of RS-232 if:   •  There are multiple readers that must be connected together so that templates can be distributed among the readers •  There is only a single reader, but it is over 150 feet (45 meters) from the host PC.    7.3  RS-485 Cable Specification The PIV-Station readers provide a 2-wire, half-duplex RS-485 interface.  The main run cable should be low capacitance, twisted pair cable, with approximately 120-ohm characteristic impedance.  Category 5 rated communications cable is used in RS-485 networks and is defined in Table 2.  This is the recommended cabling for RS-485 communications.  The cable connection includes a differential line (+ and -) and a GND connection.   Spec Recommendation Capacitance (conductor to conductor)  <20 pF/ft.   Characteristic Impedance  100 – 120 ohms Nominal DC resistance  <100 ohms/1000 ft.   Wire gauge  24 AWG stranded Conductors/Shielding  >2 pair (shielded optional) Table 2:  Cat 5 Cable Characteristics In certain electrically noisy environments, a shielded cable may be required.  It is often hard to determine if shielded cable is required in an application or not but since the cost difference between shielded and unshielded cables is very small, it’s worth using the shielded type.   Spec RS-485 RS-232 Mode of Operation:    Differential DC Coupled  Single-ended DC Coupled DC Isolation:    No  No Max.  Distance:    4000 ft.*  150 ft.* Number of Readers on one line:    31  1 Max.  Data Rate  56 kbps  56 kbps* *Communications distances are dependent on baud rate (bps).  For example, with RS-232 at 9600 baud, a distance of 150 feet is possible with shielded cable, but at 56 k-baud (kbps) a maximum of 20 feet is recommended.
 COMPONENT INSTALLATION  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  117.3.1  RS-485 Cable Lengths The total length of the communication cable (adding up all of the segments of the run) should not exceed 1200 meters (4000 feet) as outlined in the specification for RS-485.  Although the RS-485 specification calls out a maximum cable length of 1200 meters and a maximum baud rate well above that of the PIV-Station reader, a more conservative system should be configured for no more than 1000 meters and running at a baud rate of 9600 bits per second.  After the network is configured and is running in a stable manner, the baud rate can be increased if faster network communications are desired.   Drops (down leads, stubs, T’s, T-connections) to equipment are not recommended, but if required, should not exceed 0.5 meters (about 1.5 feet) and should use the same cable recommended above.  On a long stub, a signal that travels down the wire reflects to the main line after hitting the input impedance of the reader at the end.  This impedance is high compared with that of the cable and the net effect is degradation of signal quality on the bus.   7.3.2  RS-485 Network Topology Communication cables for RS-485 should be laid out in a daisy chain (See Figure 4).  Long stubs or drop downs (See 7.5 Cable lengths) and the star configuration should be avoided because they create discontinuities and degrade signal quality. The star configuration usually does not provide a clean signaling environment even if the cable runs are all of equal length.  The star configuration also presents a termination problem, because terminating every endpoint will overload the driver.  Terminating only two endpoints solves the loading problem but creates transmission-line problems at the un-terminated ends.  A true cascade or daisy chain connection avoids these problems.    Figure 4:  Network Topologies - Star and Cascade (Daisy Chain) 7.3.3  Extending the RS-485 Specification Some systems require longer distances or higher numbers of nodes than supported by RS-485.  Repeaters are commonly used to overcome these barriers.  An RS-485 repeater can be placed in a system to divide the load into multiple segments.  Each refreshed signal is capable of driving another 1200 meters (4000 feet) of cable and an additional 31 RS-485 reader loads.  The PIV-Station readers represent a single reader load to the transmission line.   7.4 Ethernet Networks If your system will be configured for use over Ethernet, the wiring will be slightly different.  Communication cables for Ethernet logically form a straight line bus but the more devices on that bus the less efficient the network becomes due to increased collisions and the weaker the signal will get over distance.  Repeaters can be used to boost the signal strength however a better solution is to place switches at intermediate positions along the bus.  The most common Ethernet topology in use today is the star configuration (See Figure 4) with a hub or switch in the center.

 MOUNTING  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  2011 Mounting 11.1 Mounting Readers The PIV-Station readers are designed to mount on either a double-gang electrical box or any flat surface.  Consult with local professionals regarding the building and safety codes that will affect your installation.  Bioscrypt provides wall plate for these applications.  The following section describes the proper PIV-Station mounting.  The mounting plate is detailed below in Figure 10.   Factors in determining the position of the reader on the wall should include mounting in-line with other switch plates or fixtures, approximately 54 inches from floor to top of reader, mounted on knob-side of door, and in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.   48 – 54”  Figure 10:  Mounting Height All of the PIV-Stations and mounting plates are constructed out of durable ABS plastic.  This system provides for a very lightweight, yet sturdy system.   11.2 Mounting Templates •  For mounting into wall anchors, wood or sheet metal use #4 flat head screws (<0.125 inch thread width, <0.250 inch head width).   •  For mounting onto gang box, use #6-32 machine screws with flat head.   •  All dimensions are in mm unless noted.   •  Refer to Figure 13 for image of the PIV-Station mounting plate.   •  Leave wires accessible for wiring of reader later. •  The Weidmuller connector will protrude approximately 24 mm (1 inch) past the wall plate and into the wall (depending on the connectors attached).  •  The access hole must be at least the size of the hole in the wall plate (136mm (~5 3/8”) wide by 69mm (~2 ¾”) tall).  Trace the edges of the hole in the wall plate in pencil before cutting. 11.3  Attaching Reader to Mount Reader mounting is very simple when the time comes (See Section 12).  The mounting plate (See Figure 12) is attached using screws and anchors to secure it in place.  The reader body has tabs that slide into the wall plate.
 MOUNTING  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  21Use the following procedure.  Mounting is shown in Figure 11 below (V-Pass FX mount shown but procedure is same).   1.  Align reader body with wall plate. 2.  Slide reader body down, locking tabs into wall plate. 3.

 POWER DISTRIBUTION & READER HOOKUP  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  2312 Power Distribution & Reader Hookup Each of the PIV-Station readers offers RS-232, RS-485, and USB communication channels for communicating with a PC or host controller.  Each reader also uses the Wiegand protocol to interface with Access Control equipment, such as access controllers (outputs) or additional readers (inputs).  The PIV-Station product will rely on power provided to the system for operation.  In a small installation, power may be provided by means of an AC adapter placed near the PIV-Station reader itself.  In larger installations, power will be distributed from either a central source or various sources.   12.1 V-Station Power Power to the PIV-Station readers should be:   •  Isolated from other equipment.   • Filtered.   •  Protected by means of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or battery backup.   •  If transient electrical surges are an issue in the location, a voltage suppression device is also recommended.    When planning a system, know the power requirement of each reader.  If multiple readers are to share a common power supply, care must be exercised to avoid excessive voltage loss on the wires.  Voltage loss can lead to communication problems when readers are talking and/or listening on different ground references.   Voltage loss is directly proportional to wire resistance and the current the wire carries.  Place the power supply as close to the equipment as possible.  Select appropriate wire size for the load.  The PIV-Station readers run on DC power between 12.5 and 24 VDC.  Power requirements are as listed in Table 4.     V-Station (all models) Power Requirement:    12 watts Input Voltage Range:    12.5-24.0 VDC Peak Current:     12 VDC  1 A 24 VDC  500 mA Table 4:  PIV-Station Power Requirements 12.2  Selecting the Right Power Supply Most power supplies in the market today provide good input/output isolation, however those which do not provide isolation (or have high leakage capacitance), coupled with accidental AC power line interchange, present serious ground fault problems for installers.  With ground fault, the signal reference between subsystems may be 115 VAC apart.  If these subsystems are interconnected, the large potential difference will cause equipment damage or personal injury.  We recommend only the use of a 12.5 VDC, 1 A, isolated, UL-Listed Class II power supply. All factory supplied power supply assemblies are either switching or regulated linear supplies and are isolated for safety and to minimize ground loop problems.

When connecting Wiegand output to a controller, you must make sure that the connection is using Data0, Data1, and a common Ground reference.  See Table 5 above for the wiring of the Wiegand and Figure 14 for the layout on the back of the PIV-Station. 12.4  ESD Shield Earth Ground Requirement The finger mask (conductive plastic surrounding the finger-scan sensor) is sometimes referred to as an ESD Shield.  The cable (14-18 AWG) that should be used for the ESD Shield is dependent on length.  EGND on the unit should be connected in a direct (homerun) configuration to a solid Earth Ground such as a cold water copper pipe or a building ground.  See Section 2 for details.  Do not connect the ESD Shield to Power Ground!  The solid Earth Ground connection chosen should measure less than 4 ohm resistance when measured against a known Earth Ground.   12.5 RS-485 RS-232, RS-485, and USB can be used for communication with a PC running PIV-Station compatible software (such as our VeriAdmin software).  RS-232 and USB communication is only used for a single reader at a time.  If readers are networked, RS-485 connection protocol must be used.  For a PC that is administering a RS-485 network, a RS-232 to RS-485 converter is required.  RS-485 connections among various readers should be made by connecting the (+) and (-) lines of the differential RS-485 in a daisy chain manner.  For instance, from V-Prox to V-Prox, the (+) line from one V-Prox is connected to the (+) line of the next V-Prox and so on; likewise for the   (-) lines.  Additionally, connect the grounds from each V-Prox reader back to the signal ground connection for the PC.  Figure 14 below shows the wiring of an RS-232 to RS-485 converter (Shown with optional VeriSeries readers for reference.).    Figure 14:  Wiring Diagram for RS-232 to RS-485 Converter 12.6  Network Operation Issues:   •  Use Category 5 cabling for a RS-485 network.   •  Choose one twisted pair of conductors to use for RS-485 differential connection, other conductors should be used for Signal Ground (RS-485 GND on Weidmuller connection).   •  RS-232/RS-485 Converter must support sense data to switch from send to receive mode.   o  Check each reader/cabling for ground fault before connecting to RS-485 network.   o  Each reader should have its ESD Shield Ground (EGND) connected to Earth Ground.   o  Once all readers are configured and connected to the RS-485 network, the baud rate can be increased to highest supported rate (some experimentation required).   •  Reader will return a busy signal (error –104) if communication cannot be processed due to current processing – usually enroll or verify.
 SYSTEM TURN-UP PROCEDURES  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  2813 System Turn-Up Procedures System turn-up must follow a step-by-step procedure to avoid difficult troubleshooting.  Never wire up a system and apply power to it all at once.   13.1  System Turn up Overview The following steps should be followed in order:   1.  Do not apply power to any readers.   2.  Check all wiring and reader configurations.   3.  Disconnect all readers from communication line.   4.  Check the supply voltage for correct voltage.   5.  Power up the PC running the PIV-Station software.   6.  Power up the RS-232 to RS-485 converter (if installed).   7.  Configure the PC software.   8.  Complete ground fault check in Paragraph 13.3 below for the converter (if installed).   9.  Connect the PC and converter (if installed) to the communication line.   10. Verify that a reader powers up correctly, but DO NOT connect it to the communication line.   11. Complete ground fault check for this reader in Paragraph 13.4 below (if using RS-485). 12. Connect this reader to the communication line.   13. Verify that it communicates with the PC software.   14. If there are more readers, add the subsequent readers by repeating steps 10-13.   13.2 Reader Configuration Check Readers must be configured correctly before they can communicate.  Common problems include not correctly selecting the correct HOST Port, failure to change mode setting to RS-485 (when used), mismatched baud rates, and incorrect Unit Network ID.  Each reader sharing the communication line must have a unique Unit Network ID.   13.3  Ground Fault Converter Check Before a reader is connected to an RS-485 subsystem, it must be checked for ground fault.  An uncorrected ground fault can damage all readers connected to the RS-485 communication line.   To check if there is ground fault on the RS-232 to RS-485 converter, follow the steps below:   1.  Apply power to the RS-232 to RS-485 converter.   2.  Connect the signal ground of the RS-485 line through a 10-kΩ current limiting resistor to the signal ground of the RS-232 to RS-485 converter.   3.  There should be no more than 1 volt across the resistor.  Otherwise find and clear the fault.   13.4  Ground Fault Reader Check To check if there is ground fault for a new reader, follow the steps below:   1.  Apply power to all readers already successfully connected to the RS-485 line.   2.  Power up the new reader but DO NOT connect it to the RS-485 line.   3.  Connect the signal ground of the RS-485 line through a 10-kΩ current limiting resistor to the signal ground of the PIV-Station reader.   4.  There should be no more than 1 volt across the resistor.  Otherwise find and clear the fault.   5.  Repeat the steps in 1 to 3 with each of the RS-485 signal lines (+ and –).   6.  Connect the new reader to the RS-485 line only if no ground fault is found.
 USER INTERFACE  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  2914 User Interface  Once the system is installed using the PIV-Station is a simple procedure.    1.  On the Contactless model, users simply place their PIV card on the reader.   2.  On the Contact reader model, initiate verifications by inserting the PIV card into the reader.  o  The unit will prompt for PIN. o  When the screen says Place Finger they may then place their finger.  3.  The LCD will then say either “Accepted” (top LED will turn green) or “Rejected” (top LED turns red).   o  If accepted, the verification actions specified by the administrator will be executed.   o  If rejected, the reader returns to its idle state. 4.  When reader returns to idle state, the top LED will turn off.    1.1. Consistent Finger Placement One key to trouble-free finger-scan recognition is consistent finger placement.   Bioscrypt has designed the Ridge-Lock to create simple user instruction and consistent finger position.   The pictures below show the V-Prox FX but the procedure is the same.  1. Wait for the amber light (LED) to be illuminated.    Figure 15:  Amber LED 2.  With the fingertip raised rest the tip on the Ridge-Lock at a right angle.    Figure 16:  Fingertip on Ridge-Lock 3.  Slide the finger across the Ridge-Lock keeping the fingertip raised so as not to touch the sensor.    Figure 17:  Slide Finger Across Ridge-Lock 4.  Position the finger where the first joint of the finger meets the Ridge-Lock

Lower the finger onto the sensor and apply moderate pressure as if pressing a computer key.  Too much pressure may cause smudging of the fingerprint.  Too little pressure may not allow the sensor to recognize the presence of a finger.    Figure 19:  Apply Correct Pressure 6.  Keep the finger on the sensor until the top LED turns green.    Figure 20:  Wait for Green LED 7.  Lift the finger up and off the sensor.     Figure 21:  Lift Finger Up and Off Sensor 8.  Have the user practice this a few times before enrollment so that they can have a feel for how they should use the reader on a daily basis.  The goal is to have consistent placement so the PIV-Station Reader sees approximately the same information each time.    1.2. Proper Finger Orientation

 APPENDIX C:  PRODUCT DOCUMENTS  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  46C.3 Bioscrypt One Year Limited Warranty Policy Bioscrypt warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Customer”) that new Bioscrypt products will be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date the product was shipped from Bioscrypt.  For replacement products the warranty on the replacement reader is the remainder of the warranty on the original product or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer.  The Customer is responsible for making any claims for shipment damage (evident or concealed) with the freight carrier.  Bioscrypt must be notified within thirty days of shipment of incorrect materials.   If a defect is discovered, Bioscrypt's sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the Bioscrypt product(s) at its sole discretion at no charge, provided it is returned to Bioscrypt during the warranty period and is shipped freight and insurance prepaid.  Merchandise must be properly packaged to prevent damage during shipping.  Before returning a Bioscrypt product, contact Bioscrypt Technical Service to obtain a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number.  No product may be returned whether in warranty or out of warranty without first obtaining approval from Bioscrypt.  The model number, invoice number, and serial number may be required for warranty service.   This warranty shall not apply to any product or any part of a product, which in the judgment of Bioscrypt, has been subjected to misuse, negligence, alteration, accident, improper maintenance, or damage by excessive physical or electrical stresses.  Tampering, such as opening the housing of a biometric reader or replacing parts will void this warranty.  The warranty is void if the serial number of the Bioscrypt product has been defaced, altered, or removed or if the product has been modified.  Repair and replacement parts will be furnished on an exchange basis and may be either reconditioned or new.  All replaced parts or products become the property of Bioscrypt.  This warranty may also be voided for failure to comply with Bioscrypt’s return policy.   The warranty is not applicable to:   •  Abnormal wear and tear.   •  Damage caused during installation.   •  Damage caused by the equipment or system with which the biometric reader is used.   •  Damage caused by modifications or repairs not made or authorized by Bioscrypt.   •  Damage caused by improper packaging.   •  Damage caused by lack of ESD protection.   •  Merchandise that is determined to be stolen.   All PIV-Station readers have an operating temperature range of 0°-60° Celsius (32°-140° Fahrenheit).  In addition, the PIV-Station product line has a relative humidity operating range of 0-95% non-condensing.  Any reader used outside that temperature or humidity range requires an enclosure with thermal or humidity control that can maintain a consistent environment within the stated operating ranges.   The newest Bioscrypt PIV-Station products are designed to be weather resistant but no sensor technology exists today that can work in all weather environments.  If a Bioscrypt PIV-Station product is not used in a completely indoor environment, then a protective enclosure is required to shield the reader from moisture, dust, other contaminants and temperatures outside the stated operating range.  Product failures resulting from exposure to the conditions are not covered under the product warranty.   For outdoor installations, Bioscrypt does offer an enclosure to protect the reader from exposure to moisture, dust, other contaminants and temperatures outside stated operating range.  To maintain the Bioscrypt warranty, the PIV-Station reader must be installed in a Bioscrypt certified outdoor enclosure.  When used properly, this enclosure will protect PIV-Station readers in most environments, but not all.  The Customer is responsible for determining whether the offered enclosure will appropriately shield PIV-Station readers in their specific installation.  Products failures resulting from exposure to moisture, dust, other contaminants and temperatures outside stated operating range, even if an enclosure is used, are not covered under the product warranty.   This warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all others, whether oral or written, expressed or implied.  Bioscrypt specifically disclaims any and all implied warranties, including without limitation, warranties of merchantability and fitness for any particular purpose.  No Bioscrypt dealer, agent, or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this warranty.
 APPENDIX C:  PRODUCT DOCUMENTS  Part # 430-00186-00 ©Copyright 2007, Bioscrypt Inc. PIV-Station Installation Guide  All rights reserved.  47C.4 Bioscrypt Return Policy and Procedures Bioscrypt must be notified within thirty days of the date that a defect is discovered.  Bioscrypt will then issue a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number which the Customer must include with all correspondence and display on the outside of the shipping container when returning the product.  Any products returned later than 30 days after issuance of an RMA may be subject to review as to whether the authorization to return is still warranted.   All Bioscrypt products must be shipped freight and insurance prepaid, in the original shipping container or equivalent.  A written description of the defect together with a copy of the invoice and the name of the Dealer who sold the Bioscrypt product must be shipped with the product.  All defects must be reproducible at Bioscrypt’s location to qualify for this limited warranty.   For shipping addresses and return merchandise authorization contact Bioscrypt Technical Support.  Warranty repairs do not re-initiate the warranty period.  For repaired or replaced products the warranty on the replacement reader is the remainder of the warranty on the original product or 90 days, whichever is longer.  All repairs are completed on a First-in; First-out (FIFO) basis.   Bioscrypt will return a repaired or replacement product via ground freight and insurance prepaid.  If the Customer desires an airfreight or other expedited return shipping method, then they must agree to pay for the expedited shipping.  Returned products that are found to be free of defects may be subject to a $150.00 handling fee and will be returned at the Customer’s expense.    Billable Repair Policy By shipping product to Bioscrypt using the RMA provided by the Technical Support Department, you are agreeing to the following terms:   For all non-warranty repairs or billable repairs, the customer will be responsible for charges associated with parts, labor and shipping/freight to and from the Bioscrypt repair facility.  Once the product is evaluated/inspected by a repair technician, Bioscrypt will provide the customer via e-mail with a written estimate of the aforementioned charges.   If any discrepancies arise between the final cost and the initial estimate, the customer will be notified.   The customer shall approve any estimate for non-warranty repairs or billable repairs and shall pay the estimated charges before the equipment is repaired.  In the event the customer fails to either:  (a) pay the estimated charges within 60 days of such estimate; or (b) arrange for return of the un-repaired equipment to the customer at customer’s cost, Bioscrypt will consider the equipment abandoned and will dispose of the equipment.    30 Day Return for Credit Bioscrypt is a leading biometric company, specializing in finger-scan and verification systems.  We are confident that customers will be pleased with Bioscrypt products.  However, if you are not, and you purchased your merchandise directly from Bioscrypt, new products can be returned for credit within the first 30 days under the following conditions:   •  You have received an RMA from Bioscrypt Technical Support and the item is returned in accordance with the Bioscrypt Return Policy and Procedures.   •  Return Items are accompanied by proof of purchase.   •  All original materials (accessories, manuals, CDs) are returned with the item.   •  The item is in re-sellable condition.  If there are any questions regarding re-sellable condition Bioscrypt will have the final decision as to whether an item can be returned, exchanged, and if a restocking fee will apply.    If you did not purchase your product directly from Bioscrypt Inc, please contact your retailer for their return policy.
