2.2 FV Unit Installation and Configuration ① Install the FV Unit on a horizontal in a stable and secure location. Place the unit away from windows, direct light, or strong light sources. Use of the unit under 300-1000 Lux, which is equivalent to the light required to read a newspaper without difficulty, is strongly advised. ・Do not use FV Unit in places receiving solar rays, either direct sun exposure or strong sun light coming in through windows. Exposure to strong sun light may lead to authentication failure. ② Connect the USB Connector (Mini-B Type) of the USB cable to FV Unit. Connect A Plug of the USB cable to the USB port or to the PC Hub. ・Insert the USB plug into the USB connector in a safe manner. Hold the plug end when connecting or disconnecting the USB cable. If the plug end is not held when connecting or disconnecting, failures may occur. ・When connecting the USB via the hub, verify the supply current. Equipment may malfunction with insufficient power supply. ・FV Unit may hold some heat due to the use of infrared rays in the product, but this will not cause failures. ・Do not connect more than two units simultaneously to one PC. If multiple FV Units are connected, they will not work properly. ・After connecting the FV Unit, wait for at least 5 seconds before performing any operation. 3 FV Unit Maintenance Periodic maintenance of the external part of FV Unit is recommended. About once a month or whenever required according to the condition of the unit, clean the external part of the unit. ・Before performing FV Unit maintenance, remove the USB cable. Keeping the cable connected during maintenance may cause failures. ・Take caution so that the product is not exposed to any liquid or humidity, as that may cause malfunctioning. ・Do not clean the device using organic solvents such as gasoline or alcohol. ・Maintenance of the external part Clean the external part by rubbing it with a soft piece of cloth. If dirt remains, use a mild detergent and rinse off with a damp cloth. Ensure that the FV scanner is in no way soaked in liquid. ・Maintenance of the scanning area Clean the scanning area using a soft piece of cloth. In case of big and obvious dirt particles, remove these before cleaning. 4 Hardware Specifications Name USB Finger Vein Biometric Authentication Unit Model PC-KCS50 Applicable Finger Size More than 10 mm / 0.4” and less than 25 mm / 1” *1 Interface USB2.0 *2 Dimension Approx. 52 mm / 2.0” (W) x 64 mm / 2.5” (D) x 17 mm / 0.7” (H) Weight Approx. 35 g / 1.2 oz (USB cable not included) Maximum energy supplyDC 5V 500mA (Bus powered) Environment Conditions(Operation)Operating Temperature5 to 40 degrees C (41 to 95 degrees F) Operating Humidity20 to 80%Rh (Do not allow condensation) Environment Conditions(Storage)Storage Temperature-10 to 60 degrees C (14 to 140 degrees F) Storage Humidity20 to 80%Rh (Do not allow condensation) 5 How to Use the FV Unit Refer to Hitachi USB Finger Vein Biometric Authentication Unit Software Operations Manual for the usage of FV Unit including the finger placing.
