2.4 

If the lock fails to open or acts strange, replace the batteries with good quality fresh alkaline 9-
volt batteries. To replace the batteries, simply turn the keypad housing counter-clockwise to 
the stop and pull it away from the base. Un-snap the old batteries and clip on the new ones. 
Position them in the pocket at the bottom of the housing and replace it, watching that the wires 
are not pinched. You should replace your batteries once a year to prevent corrosion damage 
from leaking batteries. 

 

2.5 

During any input sequence, if you make a  mistake, you can press “C” to clear the previous 
input and start over again. 

 

2.6 

The ESL20 uses a 

fixed length 6 (six) digit combination

 

2.7 

Use only your fingers to key the combination. Sharp objects will result in damage, which is not 
covered by the warranty. 

 

2.8 

If at 

any time

 during opening or combination changing the unit is left without input for 10 

seconds, it returns to a resting condition. If this occurs during a combination change, the Old 
Combination is retained. 

 

2.9 

At 

any time

 during opening or combination changing the unit will register the first 5 digits of the 

combination into the “buffer” that receives input. The 6

th

 digit will be the last numeric key 

pressed. For example, if your press 

C-1-2-3-4-5

-7-4-5-2-7

-6-#

 the program recognizes only 

the C-1-2-3-4-5-6-# input. The last numeric key pressed continues to replace the one prior 
until the “#” key is pressed to indicate completion. This is a security feature that allows you to 
baffle an on-looker that may be trying to memorize your combination. This is the electronic 
equivalent to a Spy proof Dial.

Users 

 
There are 10 User Combinations possible. The Master User (User 0) is the one and only code that 
is allowed to control all the other users, their access privileges and function setting. Users 1-8 are 
only active if Multi-User mode is 

Enabled

 and the individual User Number has been 

Enabled

 and a 

combination entered for that user by the Master User. 
 
3.1   User 0:   Designated the Master User. Has control over all Subordinate Users and setting of 

all functions. 

3.2   Users 1 through 8:  Referred to as Subordinate Users. They only have access and privileges 

as the Master User assigns them. 

3.3   User 9: 

Armored Car Code. This is a special code used only for the purpose of bypassing 

the Time Delay. This code will not open the lock alone, only authorize an opening when Time 
Delay is active.

   Combination Changing 

 
One of the strengths of an electronic safe lock is the quick and easy changing of the 
combination(s). This adds to security because you can change it at will if you suspect your 
combination is known by others. 
 
The combination change method for the Primary code (Master User) can be done two ways, with or 
without a User Number. All combination changes require and authorization code and two entries of 
the new combo as verification. 
 

Note: 

In the event that Function 60 (Subordinate Combo Change) is set to Disable (F60=0), only 

the Master Code will authorize a change. 

 
4.1  Master User Code change: 

At any time, the Master User combo can be changed by keying: 

 
  C - # - (Old Master Code) - # - (New Master Code) - # - (New Master Code) - # 
 
4.2  Multiple User Mode Change and F60=1: Changing of any combination, including the Master 

User Code, can be changed by the following sequence: 

 

 

  C- # - (User No.) - # - (Old User Code) - # - (New User Code) - # - (New User Code) - # 
 
4.3  In the event Function 60 is Disabled (F60=0) or you are adding a new User, then the combo 

change must be authorized with the Master User’s code: 

 
  C- # - (User No.) - # - (Master Code) - # - (New User Code) - # - (New User Code) - # 
 

Combination Change Examples

 

 

The Master Combo is 159260 and you wish to change it to 918273. Do the following: 

 

  C-#-0-#-159260-#-918273-#-918273-# 

or 

C-#-159260-#-918273-#-918273-# 

 

User 5’s combination is 342312 and you wish to change it to 768798 

 

  C-#-5-#-342312-#-768798-#-768798-# 

 

User 5’s combination is unknown and you wish to set it to 768798, the Master Combo is 159260 

 

  C-#-5-#-159260-#-768798-#-768798-#

   Lock Feature Setting and Function Codes. 

 
The ESL20’s advanced features are controlled 

only

 by the Master User, and are set using Function 

Codes. A function can be turned on and off, or set, using the Function Code with the Master User 
code as authorization for changing or setting the function. A Function Code is a 2-digit code that 
associates to a particular setting. Each Function Code has a default, or standard setting, which is in 
the lock when there have been no changes or after a Function Reset (F99) has been executed. 
They are as follows.
