8.1 Required batteries
You need six AA alkaline batteries.
8.2 Battery consumption
Battery consumption of the motor cylinder depends, amongst others, on the following factors:
l
Quality and capacity of the batteries. The higher the capacity, the longer the batteries will
last.
l
The time the motor cylinder requires to turn the lock in order to lock or unlock the door.
The longer the motor cylinder is in operation, the quicker the batteries run down.
l
The force the motor cylinder has to apply. If, for example, the door is warped, the motor cyl-
inder has to apply a higher force, and the batteries run down more quickly.
l
Ambient temperature. If ambient temperatures are lower, battery service life will be
reduced.
l
The “Automatic closure” function: If this function is used, the motor cylinder automatically
locks the door after it has been closed (requires a door contact). This function runs down
the batteries more quickly.
l
The opening times set, i.e. the period during which the latchbolt is retrieved and kept in its
position by the motor cylinder. Prolonged opening times reduce battery life.
8.3 Battery warnings
Battery warning emitted by the motor cylinder
If the batteries are nearly empty, the device emits the usual acoustic signal after an opening or
closing operation, and then three acoustic battery warning signals (--- --- ---).
The battery warning signals are also emitted if you have switched off the normal acoustic
signal via the configuration settings.
Battery warning in the CESeasy app
If the batteries are nearly empty, a pop-up window opens in the CESeasy app after an opening or
closing operation which informs you about the battery status.
