Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can EAMs manufactured before July 2024 be used with the
iDFace Max?
A: No, EAMs manufactured before July 2024 are not compatible
with the iDFace Max due to current consumption.
Q: What is the recommended installation configuration for Cat5
cable?
A: For Cat5 cable, use 3 pairs for power and 1 pair for data
signals. The distance should not exceed 25m, and use the same pair
for signals A and B.

iDFace Max Quick Guide
Thank you for purchasing the iDFace Max Facial Recognition Access Controller!
For detailed information on how to use your new iDFace Max, please refer to:
www.controlid.com.br/userguide/idface-max.pdf
By using Control iD products, you agree to the Terms and Conditions of Use and
Personal Data Protection Information available at:

Required Material
To install your iDFace Max, you will need the following items: a drill, wall
plugs with corresponding screws, a flathead or Phillips screwdriver, a 12V
power supply with at least 2A, and an electric lock. The device can also be
powered via the Ethernet connection using PoE infrastructure compatible with
IEEE 802.3af. In this case, the device will also provide power to the External
Activation Module (EAM).1 1 The use of the 12V provided by PoE is exclusively
for powering the EAM. Any other use (such as parallel connections with other
devices) constitutes a warranty violation and exempts the manufacturer from
liability.
Installation
For the optimal operation performance of your iDFace Max, the following
precautions must be taken:
· Install in a location without direct sunlight exposure. Lighting should be
considered for better image capture quality.
· Avoid placing metallic objects near the back of the device to prevent
interference with the proximity card reader range. If unavoidable, use
insulating spacers.
· Before securing the device, ensure all connection cables have been properly
routed to the equipment.
· Mount the top of the iDFace Max at 1.5m from the ground for pedestrian use
or at 1.35m for vehicle use.
Installing the equipment is simple and must follow the diagram below:

1. For increased installation security, place the External Activation Module
(EAM) in a secure area (inside the premises).
The iDFace Max EAM is compatible with the rest of the Control iD product line,
but EAMs manufactured before July 2024 are not compatible with the iDFace Max
due to current consumption (2A peaks).
2. Use the template on the back of this guide to drill the 5 mounting holes
for the iDFace Max and insert the wall plugs.
3. Connect the EAM to a +12V power source and to the lock being controlled
using the provided cables.
4. Run a 4-conductor cable to interconnect the EAM and the iDFace Max. For
distances greater than 5m, use thicker cables and twisted pairs for the data
signals. If using a Cat5 cable to connect the EAM to the iDFace Max, use 3
pairs for power and 1 pair for data signals. In this case, the distance should
not exceed 25m. Remember to use the same pair for signals A and B.
Recommended installation configuration for Cat5 cable:
+12V GND
A B
Green+Orange+Brown Green/Wh + Orange/Wh + Brown/Wh Blue Blue/Wh
The iDFace Max can continuously consume over 1A, so use thick-gauge cables or combine multiple pairs to facilitate current conduction. 5. Connect the wiring harness provided with the iDFace Max to the 4-conductor cable from the previous step. 6. Remove the wall mount bracket from the iDFace Max. 7. Screw the wall mount bracket into the wall plugs. 8. Remove the sealing cover on the back and connect the iDFace Max to the 4-conductor cable.
9. Reposition and secure the cover and sealing gasket.
The cover and sealing gasket are essential for ensuring IP65 protection. Make
sure they are properly positioned and secured on the back of the product.
10. Place the iDFace Max on its wall mount and secure it with the screw and
tool provided along with the connection cables.
Description of Connection Pins
On your iDFace Max controller, there is a connector input on the back of the device in addition to the network (Ethernet) connector input. On the External Activation Module (EAM), there are 4 other connectors that will be used for connecting locks, REX, sensors, and readers as explained below.

EAM Communication Modes
· Standard: EAM will communicate with any equipment
· Advanced: EAM will only communicate with the equipment to which it was
configured in this mode
To reset the EAM to its default mode, turn it off, connect the WOUT1 pin to BT, and then turn it on. The LED will blink quickly 20 times, indicating that the reset has been completed.
Configuring your iDFace Max
All parameters of your new iDFace Max can be configured through the LCD
display (Graphical User Interface GUI) and/or through a standard web browser
(provided the iDFace Max is connected to an Ethernet network and has this
interface).
To configure, for example, the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway via the
touchscreen, follow these steps: Menu Settings Network. Update the
information as desired and connect the device to the network.
Configuration Web Interface
First, connect the device directly to a PC using a network cable (cross or
point-to-point). Then, set a static IP on your machine in the 192.168.0.xxx
network (where xxx is different from 129 to avoid an IP conflict) with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
To access the device’s configuration screen, open a web browser and enter the
URL:
http://192.168.0.129
The login screen will appear. By default, the access credentials are:
· Username: admin · Password: admin
Through the web interface, you can change the device’s IP address. If you
change this parameter, be sure to write down the new value so you can
reconnect to the device.
User Registration and Identification
The effective operation of the facial recognition system is directly related
to the quality of the image captured by the iDFace Max during the registration
phase. Therefore, during this process, ensure that the face is aligned with
the camera at a distance of 50 cm. Avoid atypical facial expressions and
objects that may obscure important areas of the face (such as masks,
sunglasses, and others). Keep in mind that the photo should be taken as in a
personal document.
For the identification process, position yourself in front of and within the
ca era’s field of view on the iDFace Max, and wait for the access granted or
denied indication on the device.
Avoid using objects that can block the capture of the eyes.
It is recommended that the distance between the device and the user (with a
height of 1.45-1.80 m) be between 0.5 and 1.5 m. Ensure that you are
positioned within the ca era’s field of view.
Solenoid Pin Lock
The solenoid pin lock, also known as a solenoid lock, consists of a fixed part
with a moving pin connected to a solenoid. The lock typically comes with a
metal plate that should be attached to the door (moving part). The pin in the
fixed part enters the metal plate, preventing the door from opening. In this
guide, the pin-spring lock will be represented by:
Terminals indicated in gray may not be present on all locks. If there is a
power input (+12V or +24V), it is essential to connect it to a source before
operating the lock.
Electromechanical Lock The electromechanical lock, or strike, consists of a
latch connected to a solenoid through a simple mechanism. After the door is
opened, the mechanism returns to its initial state, allowing the door to
close. Thus, the electromechanical lock typically has two contacts directly
connected to the solenoid. When current passes through the lock, the door will
be unlocked. In this guide, the electromechanical lock will be represented by:
Confirm the operating voltage of the lock before connecting it to the iDFace
Max! Many electromechanical locks operate at 110V/220V and therefore require a
different connection.

Types of Locks
The iDFace Max, through a relay in the External Activation Module (EAM) of up
to 30V and 5A, is compatible with virtually all types of locks available on
the market.
Electromagnetic Lock
The electromagnetic lock, or Magnetic Lock, consists of a coil (fixed part)
and a metal piece (armature) that is attached to the door (moving part). As
long as current flows through the electromagnet, the fixed part will attract
the moving part. When the distance between these two parts is small, i.e.,
when the door is closed and the armature is aligned with the fixed part, the
attractive force between them can exceed 1000 kgf.
Thus, the electromagnetic lock is typically connected to the NC contact of the
relay, as we usually expect current to pass through the electromagnetic. If we
want the door to be opened, the relay must open and interrupt the current
flow.
In this guide, the electromagnetic lock will be represented by:
