4.4 Basic safety instructions
Observe all warnings and notes in these Fitting and Operating
Instructions when fitting, programming and using the IES.
Always keep these Fitting and Operating Instructions near the
IES.
To prevent danger to life and limb, the following safety
instructions must be observed:
4.4.1 Danger of explosion
Live parts of the IES may cause an explosion. Do not use the
IES in potentially explosive atmospheres.
4.4.2 Danger of suffocation
Never allow children to play with packaging material and/or
plastic bags. There is a risk that children pull them over their
head and suffocate.
4.4.3 Danger of poisoning
Always keep the IES out of the reach of children. There is a
risk that children swallow small parts such as batteries or
screws.
4.4.4 Danger of property damage
To prevent property damage, the following safety instructions
should be observed:
Always have repairs performed by properly qualified
personnel.
Only use accessories and spare parts recommended by
CEStronics.
Do not use any drilling machines or cordless screwdrivers for
fastening the IES.
Only use the proper tools to open the IES.

For your safety
OMEGA ACTIVE IES Page 11 of 128
When fitting the IES, make sure that the lock and the door
are in perfect condition. Malfunctions of the lock may impair
the functioning of the IES.
The IES may not be used for locks with split follower (hub).
Special regulations apply to approved doors. Before drilling
any holes into or through the door, satisfy yourself that the
use of the IES is permitted for doors of that type.
In case of doors in escape or rescue routes, satisfy yourself
that the lock and the IES are suitable for the equipment of
the door.
Make sure that the IES can be fitted without jamming and
without using force. If that is not possible, align the lock
and the IES so as to prevent jamming and bending of the
IES during its installation.
Do not use any lubricants or oils for the IES.
Do not drop the IES on the floor, on hard surfaces or on
hard objects.
Protect the electronic components of the IES against water
and other liquids.
The IES contains highly sensitive electronic parts that may
be damaged or destroyed through static charges. Do not
disassemble the IES in rooms with built up static charge.
Do not store the IES without inserting a charged battery.

For your safety
Page 12 of 128 OMEGA ACTIVE IES
4.4.5 Danger through environmental conditions
Do not use the IES in corrosive atmospheres (chlorine,
ammonia, lime water).
Only use the IES in rooms in which the humidity does not
exceed 95 %.
Do not use the IES in rooms with a high level of dust
formation.
Do not use the IES near sources of heat.
The outside shield may only be exposed to temperatures
between–25 °C and +75 °C.
The inside shield may only be exposed to temperatures
between 0 °C and +50 °C.
4.4.6 Danger of malfunctions
The reading unit in the outside shield of the IES must not be
covered with any metallic material.

For your safety
OMEGA ACTIVE IES Page 13 of 128
4.5 Notes on the handling of
batteries
Only the batteries inserted by CEStronics and specified for
the IES may be used.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children. If a battery was
swallowed, consult a physician without delay.
Always insert new batteries. Never insert old and new
batteries at the same time.
Never mix the battery types. Always replace batteries by
batteries of the same or an equivalent type.
Before inserting the batteries, check that the terminals in
the device and at the batteries are clean. Clean these with
alcohol or spirit as necessary.
Do not touch the contacts after they have been cleaned.
Observe the correct polarity (+/-) when inserting the
batteries.
Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
There is a risk of explosion!
Never short-circuit the batteries.
Always store new batteries at a cool, dry place. Direct
strong heat may damage the batteries. Do not expose any
battery-powered devices to strong sources of heat.
Never throw any batteries into a fire.
Always remove leaked batteries immediately from the
device. Clean the terminals before inserting new batteries.
There is a danger of acid burns through battery acid!
Remove flat batteries from the device.
Replace flat batteries by new batteries within one hour.
Always replace flat batteries promptly after the first Low
Battery alarm.
Be sure to send back the batteries to orderly disposal.

5Introduction
5.1 Description
The IES is an electronic fitting allowing a simple upgrading and
converting of existing mechanical door locks. No modification of
the lock is required.
Mechanical emergency opening is possible with mechanical
locking cylinders if these are used together with the IES. If the
battery is empty, electronic emergency opening is possible with
the optional Emergency Power Supply and an authorized
locking medium.
The IES is part of the OMEGA ACTIVE system. It is based on
active transponder technology which unlike passive
transponders allows reading distances of about 70 cm.
The IES is intended for installation in locks with or without
profile cylinders. It can be installed with a minimum of fitting
effort.
The IES can only be operated with authorized locking media.
You authorize a locking medium for your IES with Master
media (see page 27, "Optional Master media").
To operate the IES, you move an authorized locking medium
within the reading range of the outside shield. Touch the
proximity sensor with your finger to trigger the opening
function of the IES. The reader module recognizes your
authorized locking medium. In response, the lock and the door
handle are coupled and you can open the door with the handle.
All OMEGA ACTIVE transponder media can be programmed and
used as authorized locking media at the IES. OMEGA ACTIVE
locking media are read within a range of approximately 70 cm
so that it is no longer necessary for you to take these locking
media into your hand.
The IES additionally comprises a reader for 125 kHz
transponder media. This makes it possible to read current

Introduction
OMEGA ACTIVE IES Page 15 of 128
passive locking media and existing OMEGA 125 kHz series
media as an alternative to OMEGA ACTIVE media.
The IES responds to various events during programming,
operation and maintenance with different visual and acoustic
signals.
The IES can be programmed manually with the appropriate
transponder cards (SYSTEM-MASTER, PROGRAM-MASTER,
optional Master cards, see page 27, Chapter "Optional Master
media").
In addition, wireless programming is possible so that virtually
no time is lost by going to the individual devices for manual
programming. Online programming is performed quickly via
installed Access Points. Online programming is significantly
more convenient and clearer.

A wireless system always comprises a PC, the
OMEGA ACTIVE software and a number of Access
Points for data exchange as well as at least one
locking device.
The IES can also be programmed using the optional RF-Stick.
For this purpose, you will require a Windows™ PC (such as a
netbook with installed OMEGA software) and the optional RF-
Stick available from CES. This will allow you to program the
IES at its place of installation (see also page 17, "Programming
with OMEGA software").

For further information, please refer to the
programming instructions for the OMEGA ACTIVE
system which are available free of charge at
www.ces.eu.

drilling; this does not require any drilling or other
modification at the door.
