DIP SWITCH “D” & RESET BUTTON “E”
ON
When settings are changed on DIP switches A, B & C. The new data must be stored in memory.
To do this, slide DIP switch “D” to UP (ON) and press the RESET button “E”. Once the data has
been stored, the 4 onboard relays will cycle on and off. Slide DIP switch “D” to DOWN (OFF) and
press the RESET button “E” again to enter normal operation mode.
POWER LEVEL SETTING STRATEGY
By default, the power levels for the Via Lock and Via Hub are set to LOW. This provides a range of
approx. 70’ range in a typical office environment. When the power level of the Via Lock and Hub
are BOTH set to HIGH, this range is extended to approx. 170’.
If a reader connects and communicates reliably, the power setting should be left at LOW on both
the Via Lock and the Hub as it will extend the battery life on the Via Lock.
If either Via Lock is set to HIGH power, the associated Hub must also be set to HIGH power. When
a Via Lock and Hub are set to HIGH power to accommodate a distance in excess of 70’, a second
reader located at 70’ or less can still be left on LOW power.
