Lockout
Access is only granted to the Master user. All other users with valid access cods are locked out when the lock is put
in the lockout mode.
M-Unit (Maintenance Unit)
An M-Unit is a handheld PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). It can be either a Palm OS based or Windows Mobile OS
based handheld unit). It is used to “ActiveSync” or “HotSync” (i.e. transfer required lock configuration or lock audit
files) with the PC running the main E-Plex Standard software to program or audit the locks.
M-Unit User
For every lock, there is one and only one M-Unit (and also one Master) User. This M-Unit User can only program,
audit or download locks with the M-Unit (PDA), but the M-Unit user code will not open the lock. This feature is
especially useful for large sites with multiple doors scattered over a wide area, as it prevents the Master or Manger(s)
from physically traveling to all of the locks for programming or auditing functions. Instead, the M-Unit User can do all
of this, but will not have access to the locks/doors.
Master
Every lock by default will have one Master User Code, which can be modified, but not deleted. This is always an 8-
digit code, and it allows the Master User complete control of programming and/or auditing locks. The default factory
Master code is 12345678 which MUST be changed to do any programming of the lock.
Manager
A Manager User has more authority than an access user and is authorized to perform most of the functions of the
Master Users at the lock pushbuttons, except a few, which are outlined in the E-Plex 5000/3000 Operations manual.
Every lock can be programmed to have from 1 to 299 unique Manger user codes.
Passage Mode
The lock is in an “open” or unlocked position which means the latchbolt can be retracted by the outside lever without
entering a valid access code.
Latch Holdback Mode (E-Plex 3000 only)
Similar to the traditional passage mode function, but the latch stays retracted physically even after the door closes. In
this mode, people carrying packages etc. do not have to grab the lever to open the door but they can simply push the
door to gain entry.
Service User
A user that is granted one time access only or for a designated period from 1 to 24 hours. A lock can be programmed
from 1 to 299 unique Service user codes.
Site
A Site is an area/section/building etc., where your E-Plex 5000 and/or E-Plex 3000 locks are installed. For example,
you can create a site called “Administration Building,” another called “Downtown Campus,” etc., and then assign a
group of locks for each site in the software. This makes managing the overall security more organized for the
security personnel managing the property.
Tamper Count
How many failed attempts can be entered at the lock before the lock goes into Tamper Shutdown.
Tamper Shutdown
The time that a lock remains in an inoperative state following the specified number of failed access attempts.
Unlock Time
The amount of time in seconds the lock remains in an “open” position after a valid access code is entered before re-
locking again.
User Number
User Number refers to the table reference (001-299) where a specific user’s name and access information are stored.
Privacy Mode (E-Plex 5000 only)
