Automatic Upgrade & User/Audit Capacity in E-Plex 5000:
1) All E-Plex 5000 Series Locks (new version 3 through older versions 2 and 1) come out of the factory with a
capacity of 100 users and 3,000 audits. However, when you program these locks with the “E-Plex Standard”
optional software via the M-Unit PDA, the lock gets upgraded automatically to a capacity to handle 300 users
and 9,000 audit events. This capacity upgrade in the lock is permanent and will not revert to the 100 users/3,000
audits even after a lock hardware reset. If you do not use the software but program the lock only via the lock
keypad, the lock capacity is unchanged to the factory default of 100 users and 3,000 audits.
2) All E-Plex 3000 locks, on the other hand, come out of the factory with a capacity of 300 users and 9,000 audits.
This is always the capacity of this lock, with or without the optional software.
The Lock Configuration Template is provided for you to enter the parameters of the locks you want to program, for
example, Lock ID, Lock Name, Lock Function, Unlock time, etc., and also the access codes of users who will have
access to the door. This template is in the form of an Excel file, which is easy to create and very easy for you to store
and manage. There is no need for a large, cumbersome database.
The Lock Configuration Template enables you to:
•
Create and customize an Excel file for every lock in every site
•
Copy one set of lock features to multiple doors so they all have the same parameters
•
Copy one set of lock features to multiple doors but enter different users
•
Configure up to 10,000 different doors across all sites
•
Upload and download your Excel files to a handle Maintenance Unit (M-Unit) for programming and auditing
locks
