Page 4 of 10
o
After the first User keys a valid combination, a short warbling tone is sounded, and the second User is then
required to key a valid code.
o
If no second code is keyed within 10 seconds, the lock goes to the resting condition and the process must be
started again.
o
The two User Codes must be different Users.
o
A complementing feature can be enabled (F31) that prevents two subordinate Users from opening the safe. If
this mode is Enabled, the Manager must be one of the two Users entering valid combinations.
Duress Alarm
- This feature allows a User to secretly signal that they are under Duress, typically in the act of being
forced to open the safe in a robbery situation.
o
This feature must be Enabled (F20).
o
This feature requires that one of the optional Expansion Modules (ESL20EXP1, ESL20EXP2 or ESL20EXP3) is
attached to provide electrical connection to external systems like alarms and monitoring services.
o
When a User keys a combination, finishing the code entry with the last number of the combination either 1
digit high, or 1 digit low, Duress output relay in the Expansion Module responds with a contact closure of for
one (1) second.
o
The Lock opens normally, allowing the User to open the safe, without revealing they have sent a silent alert.
o
This Duress output contact closure is the same as if someone had pushed a “panic” button to summon help.
By signaling secretly at the safe, the User doesn’t risk angering the robber and risking possible personal injury.
External Control
- This feature allows the ESL20XL to be disabled and enabled by an auxiliary device like an Access
Manager, a Key Switch, external Alarm System, or any other external switching method.
o
This feature must be Enabled (F50).
o
To use this feature, you must install an optional Expansion Module (ESLAC, ESL20EXP1 and ESL20EXP2), which
provides terminals for external device input connection.
o
When the External Control Mode is Enabled and the Lock Enable input circuit is OPEN, the lock will not open
when a combo is entered, it will indicate with a quick 4 beep/flash.
o
When the External Control Mode is Enabled and the Lock Enable input circuit is CLOSED, the lock will open
normally when a combo is entered.
o
The external switching that closes the Input should be a dry-contact relay. Solid State switching (MOSFET)
from an external device (Alarm system) will Fproperly if polarity is correct.
o
The Factory Reset Code will clear this condition if it was set accidentally.
Reset All Functions
- A function has been provided to reset all the functions to what is considered “default” settings.
It disables all of the various modes, deletes all the Users and their codes, and cleans up any unknown settings.
o
This feature is executed by F99, and a confirming acknowledgement.
o
This is useful tool to get a fresh start after programming has been lost track of or for personnel changes at the
Master User level.
