4
States of the Lock
Factory Mode
The factory mode is one of three primary states of the E-Plex 5000. The
main characteristics of this state are:
•
The E-Plex 5000 opens only when the 8-digit master
combination (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8) is keyed in.
•
The visual indication for ‘access granted’ is green LED
flashing once. A high-pitched tone is also generated while
the green LED is on.
•
The Master User must change the combination to be able
to exit the factory mode, and switch to the access mode.
Access Mode
This mode refers to a lock that is operational for user access, and not in
factory or Programming Mode.
Pushbutton Programming Mode
The E-Plex 5000 enters the Pushbutton Programming Mode when the
user enters the master combination or one of the manager combinations,
preceded and followed by the character ‘#’ (ex: #12345678#). Once
the E-Plex 5000 is in the Pushbutton Programming Mode, the Master/
Manager can enter one or more command sequences. Each command
sequence ends with a ‘#’ character that acts like an <
enter > character.
At the very end of all sequences of programming commands, enter one
more # to remove the lock from the Pushbutton Programming Mode to
return to normal access mode.
Sequence of Operations
for Start-Up Programming
What is the recommended sequence of operations?
With the E-Plex 5000 in the factory mode.
•
Program the Access Code Length (default length is four digits).
The access code field length can only be changed when the
lock is not activated (when still in the factory mode).
•
Change factory Master to your own Master Code (always
eight digits) to place lock in access mode.
