 Terminal Implementation
To secure an access, Morpho recommends installing the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series terminal as a part of a typical Access
Control system, which consists of the components described below.

A The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme Series terminal

Its role is to process the access request from the user. It performs access right
checks using one-to-many biometric identification or one-to-one biometric
verification, and/or RF card authentication, and/or PIN check.
An Access Controller (3rd party product)
C B
The MorphoAccess® terminal interfaces with an Access Controller (using
TCP/IP, Wiegand, Data Clock, RS485 or RS422 protocol):
A
B After access request, the MorphoAccess® terminal sends the result of user’s
access rights to the Access Controller (this message contains at least the User
ID)
The Access Controller performs additional checks, and returns the final
decision (access granted/denied) to the MorphoAccess® terminal (which
D displays the result to the user), and to the door controller which opens the door

Step one : overview

(if the access has been granted).

C An Alarm (3rd party product)

The MorphoAccess® terminal sends a message to the Access Controller, to activate
the Alarm as soon as a malicious activity, such as tamper or pulling, is detected

D A Door Electric Latch or equivalent (3rd party product)

The Access Controller sends a command to activate the latch if the access is granted (i.e. if the individual's User ID is listed in the Controller
authorized user List). Control of the latch is made through a dry contact..

IP code IP65 rated

General precautions
Do not expose the terminal to extreme temperatures.
When the environment is very dry, avoid synthetic carpeting near the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Extreme
terminal, to reduce the risk of unwanted electrostatic discharge.

Areas containing combustibles

Do not install the terminal in the vicinity of gas stations or any other installation containing flammable or
combustible gases or materials. The terminal is not designed to be intrinsically safe.

Step one : overview

The terminal should be installed in controlled lighting conditions
Avoid biometric sensor exposure to a blinking light
Avoid direct exposure of the biometric sensor to sunlight or to UV lights.

In exceptional circumstances of ambient temperature and sun exposure, the screen may feel hot

All connections of the terminal are of SELV (Safety Electrical Low Voltage) type.

Step two : wiring

Power supply from electrical source shall be switched off before starting the installation.
Before proceeding, make sure that the person in charge of installation and connections, is properly connected to
earth, in order to prevent Electrostatic Discharges (ESD).

Backup of the Date/Time of the terminal: the volatile settings (such as date/time) of the terminal are protected against
power failure, by a dedicated component during a least 24 hours (at 25 oC) without external power supply.

 Power Wiring
Power Over Ethernet (POE): power can be provided through RJ-45 connector using
RJ45 a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) IEEE 802.3af or IEEE802.3at type 1 compliant.
The terminal is a Class 0 (15.4W) PD (Powered Device).

 Output Voltage: 48VDC
25 Power + 12V Red  Output Current: 0.32A
26 Power GND Black  Power: 15.36W

External Power Supply: 12-24 Volts (regulated and filtered) 1 Amp min @12V, CEE/EEC EN60950 standard
compliant. A12 Volts power supply compliant with SIA's Wiegand standard will also be suitable. If sharing
power between devices, each unit must receive 1A (e.g. two units would require a 12vDC, 2A supply).

A battery backup or uninterrupted power supply (UPS) with built-in surge protection is recommended.

Morpho recommends using a gauge AWG20 for 12V power supply. Maximum drop voltage

This “local enrolment” is recommended only for small or
stand alone installations or testing purposes. For
professional systems enrolment should be performed
remotely with an enrolment station, which is a PC with a
dedicated application such as MorphoManager.

This menu allows a user’s record to be added in the local

database, with the option of creating a user RF card, with
the user’s reference data.
