Need help?Do you have a question about the Navkom BBX MINI and is the answer not in the manual?
The Navkom R7 BBX Mini Control Unit is a sophisticated fingerprint reader designed for secure access control, offering various modes of operation and advanced features for managing users and settings. This device serves as a central component for controlling access to doors and managing integrated LED lighting, providing a blend of security, convenience, and smart home integration.
The primary function of the Navkom R7 BBX Mini Control Unit is to provide secure access control through fingerprint recognition. It allows users to unlock doors by simply placing a registered finger on its sensor. The device supports a capacity of up to 498 fingerprints, ensuring ample storage for multiple users and their various fingers. Beyond basic access, the control unit integrates with an X-manager app, expanding its functionality to include remote door unlocking, management of LED lighting, and detailed user administration.
The device operates in three distinct control modes: Analogue, App, and Hybrid.
A key security feature is the Fingerprint Reader Security Lockdown. If an unrecognized finger is placed on the sensor seven times consecutively, the reader will lock for a period, starting at 30 seconds and progressively increasing with further unsuccessful attempts, up to a maximum of 5 minutes. During this lockdown, a purple LED flashes, and the reader becomes unresponsive to fingerprints, preventing brute-force attempts. A successful fingerprint recognition resets this count.
The device also includes a Factory Reset function, which is critical for initial setup and for reconfiguring the device. Performing a factory reset erases all stored fingerprints (including administrator fingerprints), deletes paired remote controls and smartphones, and restores all settings to their default. This ensures a clean slate for new installations or when changing control modes. After a factory reset, the device enters a 1-minute "Test Function" where the sensor-LED flashes green, and any fingerprint can unlock the door, allowing for easy initial testing before administrator fingerprints are entered.
The Navkom R7 BBX Mini Control Unit is designed for user-friendly operation, with clear instructions for fingerprint entry and device management.
For optimal performance, users must ensure their fingerprint covers at least 70% of the sensor surface. Pressing the finger firmly, especially for smaller fingerprints, helps achieve sufficient coverage. The finger should be placed in the center of the sensor where the fingerprint is most pronounced. Dry skin is a common cause of poor reading; moisturizing or lightly touching a damp surface can help, but the finger should not be wet. It is crucial not to move the finger while reading is in progress and to wait for the device to beep to confirm a successful entry. For successful fingerprint entry, a finger must be placed on the sensor three times to ensure quality input and good reading. It is highly recommended to enter multiple fingers from both hands for each user to provide backup in case of injury to a primary finger.
The first three saved fingerprints are designated as "administrator fingerprints" and hold special privileges. These fingerprints are entered by the device owner and are essential for performing input and deletion operations, including adding new users and managing settings. Once the first three memory spots are filled with administrator fingerprints, only user fingerprints can be entered. Administrator fingerprints should be chosen carefully, ideally from uninjured fingers with clear patterns, as they cannot be deleted individually and can only be removed by a factory reset. They also activate Relay 2, offering additional control capabilities. When the reader memory is empty, any fingerprint can be entered, so it's vital to enter administrator fingerprints immediately after installation to prevent unauthorized access.
After administrator fingerprints are set, users can add their fingerprints. This process also involves placing the finger on the sensor three times consecutively. Each successful entry is confirmed with a short beep, and a long beep signifies that the fingerprint has been saved. If a fingerprint is too damaged or unclear, the red LED will light up, and the device will beep five times, stopping the operation. In such cases, a high-quality, clean, and moist finger should be used.
The X-manager app provides extensive control over the BBX Mini Control Unit.
The Navkom R7 BBX Mini Control Unit requires minimal maintenance, primarily focusing on keeping the fingerprint sensor clean to ensure optimal performance.
