4. OPERATING THE VECTA PERSONAL SAFE™
4.1 Opening the safe
1) Using the keypad, enter the 4-digit User Code (or 4-digit Administrator Code).
2) As the last digit of the correct 4-digit code is entered, the display will show “
Opened
” and the
door will automatically open.
3) If the User Code is forgotten the Vecta Personal Safe™ can be opened using the Administrator
Code or the Override Key (see section 4.4). Once open, the User Code can be reset as detailed in
section 3.2
Note:
If any digit is incorrectly entered, it can be cleared by pressing the key.
If the incorrect User Code is entered you will hear a beep, the display will show “
Error
” and the
door will not open.
Whilst inputting the code, if no key is pressed for 10 seconds, the screen will go blank, the
numbers input up to that time will be cancelled, and the code will need to be re-entered from
the beginning.
4.2 Locking the safe
1) To lock the safe simply press the safe door closed whilst pressing the key.
2) The locking bolts will engage, locking the door, and the display shows “
Closed
”.
3) If “
Error2
” appears on the display this means the door was not closed properly when locking and
the door is still open. If this happens, check there are no items preventing the door from closing
properly, push it fully closed and press the key again to lock the safe.
4.3 Lockout
If the wrong User Code is entered 4 consecutive times, the display will show “
Hold 5
” when the next key
is pressed indicating that the safe will not be able to be opened using the electronic lock for 5 minutes.
However, the safe can still be opened using the manual override key.
4.4 Using the manual override key
1) The manual override key can only be used for unlocking (NOT for re-locking) the safe when the
User Code (or Adminstrator Code) has been lost or forgotten. Its keyhole is located behind the
removable magnetic Vecta badge on the front of the safe.
2) To open the safe, lift the badge off, insert the key in the keyhole and turn it clockwise until the bolts
retract and the door opens. While the safe is open (and bolts retracted) the User Code can be reset.
3) The bolts will stay retracted (in unlocked position) until the safe is locked by pressing the key.
4) The key can be removed after it has been returned to the horizontal position.
IMPORTANT
Keep the manual override keys in a safe place but DO NOT store the keys inside the safe
The code number for the key is located on the barrel. This should be recorded on the Code
Protector Card in case the keys are lost and a replacement is required.
