6- OPERATING MODES
As explained above, there are different types of modes of safes. Thus, depending on the type of
safe, we have several possibilities which we explain below. By having and being able to combine
keypad with card reader (either magnetic stripe or proximity) there are three different modes:
keypad only, card only or card + keypad.
The operating mode is selected in the state tables of software programming TESA-HOTEL system.
If we do not create any table of special status for safes, the operating mode will be the default one:
card + keypad. See SOFTWARE MANUAL.
We explain the different modes:
6.1- Card + PIN Mode
The safe must be open. If the previous guest has left the safe closed, we perform an emergency
opening thereof, with portable programmer. SEE USER MANUAL
With the safe open, the guest must insert and remove the card in the reader of the safe (in the case
of magnetic stripe technology. For proximity technology be sufficient to bring the card to the reader-
antenna). If the customer has permission to use the safe, the safe will be activated and will wait for
the guest to choose his password (flashes the first digit of the display). To choose your password
you must type the key on the keypad (at least 4 digits and a maximum of 6), and at the end you
must press the green button (Lock). The LED display indicates the PIN typed to confirm that no
mistakes are made when entering the desired code. This is the PIN that will now be used to open
and / or close the safe. This way when the guest wants to open or close the safe must enter the
password and press green key. No need to use the room card unless he wants to change the
password again.
When leaving the hotel, the guest must leave the safe open, so the next guest can use it.
If the guest does not have permission to use the safe, the programming will reject any attempt by
the guest, never being able to close it.
6.2- Only Keypad Mode
In this mode, all hotel guests have allowed the use of the safe without rent. When the guest arrives
to the room the safe should be open. If it is closed it must perform an emergency opening.
To close the safe the guest must enter a password of his choice, twice consecutively. Enter a
(minimum 4 and max 6 digits) code, and press the green button.
To open the safe simply enter the password and press the green button.
To close the safe, we will
return to repeat the first process.
6.3- Only Card Mode
To use the safe, the guest must have permission granted (which is encoded at check-in in the
reception) and the safe must be open. If the previous guest has left the closed safe, we perform an
emergency opening.
To open or close the safe, the guest simply insert and extract (or approach the reader in the case
card case with proximity) card reader in the safe. The keypad will not work, it is as if the safe had no
