Tamper block
After 4 invalid code inputs, the keypad is blocked for 5 minutes. The remaining lockout
time is shown on the display, and it cannot be bypassed. If two more incorrect codes are
entered again after the lockout time has elapsed, the lockout time of 5 minutes will start
again. The lockout time ends as soon as the valid code has been entered correctly.
Basic rules for secure codes
What you should avoid:
•
Don't use commonplace sequences such as 000000 or 123456.
•
Don't use your own birthday, or any car registration numbers or phone numbers.
•
Don't use a code that you already use elsewhere.
How should a code be structured?
•
The code should not have a logical structure.
•
Use all the keys, as far as possible (the keypad shows signs of wear over time,
revealing the individual numbers used in the code).
Keeping a code secure:
•
A code is only secure if it stays secret!
•
You should memorise codes
–
don't write them down.
•
Think how the code would still be kept available in case the person who has it is no
longer able to disclose it (e.g. if they die). Deposit a sealed envelope with your notary.
NOTE:
If the code has been forgotten or can no longer be reconstructed, the safe
must be drilled open and repaired or replaced at the owner's expense!
