The E-Plex 5000 and the E-Plex 3000 locks use a special 4-digit only Maintenance Code called the M-Unit User
Code. This code is used only to program and/or audit the lock using the M-Unit PDA as a maintenance function only
– the code will not open the door.
By default, the 4-digit M-Unit User Code is de-activated in the lock. The code cannot be activated and assigned from
the software – it has be assigned a 4-digit code and then activated by the Master or any one of the Managers at the
lock’s pushbuttons.
For example, if 87654321 is the Master Code and the new M-Unit Code to be assigned is 7777, the following two
commands must be entered at the lock: #87654321#103#7777#7777## (to assign new M-Unit Code first), and then
#87654321#303## (to activate it).
If you ever need to de-activate it, the command is 403 (which replaces the 303 in the above example). An example of
the M-Unit User Code usage at the lock is as follows: ##7777 (Note: there is an extra # at the beginning of the
code). The lock will enter the Communications Mode with the M-Unit handheld PDA, indicated by alternate green
and red flashing LEDs.

Transfer Files – PC to Maintenance Unit
How do I transfer files to the M-Unit?
1. Go to the Program Menu of the main dialog box and select Send Data to Lock. You will see the box below with
various sites and their locks in the system. Any door(s) whose lock configuration data has changed that needs to
be sent to the door(s) for programming the lock(s) is indicated by a small green flag icon against the affected
door name(s) under the “Changed” column:
2. To generate a sync file (to prepare to transfer it to the M-Unit) you must select the Site name where the door or
doors need to be programmed.
3. Select by clicking on the Site name.
