dbDualLock (S) Installation
Determining which Lock Pawl to use
As all cabinets vary, we offer a wide range to pawls to suit the particular dimensions of your cabinet.
There are 2 simple measurements that need to be taken to determine which pawl you will need.
Please obtain the measurements as show in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below and contact our support team at
support@digitus-biometrics.com
Figure 1
–
Measurement 1
Edge of Door Frame to Center of Handle
Figure 2
–
Measurement 2
Rear surface of handle to Inside of Door Frame
In most situations the pawl from the existing mechanical handle can be re
-
used with the new lock.

Mounting the dbDualLock (S)
If you are installing the dbDualLock (S) into a cabinet that already has a handle / lock installed, remove it.
Secure the dbMultiCardLock (S) to the door using the top and bottom mounting brackets, being careful not to
over tighten the screws as this could cause the lock mechanism to jam.

Positioning the Tie-Down Pads
The second step is to mount the tie-down pads to the cabinet and the cabinet door as illustrated below.
The tie-down pads are used to secure the supplied cable that connects the lock directly to the Remote Node / db Sentry
or Access Control panel.
Ensure that the door surface is clean and free from any debris. Use rubbing alcohol to clean the surface is highly
recommended and allow sufficient time for the cleaned areas to dry before mounting the tie-down pads.

Routing the Lock Cable
Route the cable between the lock and the Remote Node / db Sentry Controller or ACM Panel.
Route the lock cable to the door hinge as illustrated below and secure the cable to the tie-down pads using the supplied
cable-ties. Connect the supplied device cable to the RJ-45 coupler and route it to:
the Remote Node or Sentry (if you are using Digitus a controller)
3rd Party Access Panel (if you are connecting to a third-party access control panel, connect a network cable to RJ-
45 coupler and run back to panel.

Connecting Latch Position to 3rd Party Panel
The dbDualLock (S) provides the capability to monitor whether the handle is in the open or closed position. This is a
single signal from the handle, shown as "LATCH POS" in the table above.
If the 3rd-party Access Panel requires a 2-wire input to monitor the handle position, an external 12v low current relay is
required. The diagram below shows how to connect the "LATCH POS" signal to a 3rd-party Access Panel with a relay.
Approved relays can be purchased by contacting your Digitus vendor or by emailing [email protected]

Power Up
Upon power-up, the dbDualLock (S) performs a RED / AMBER / GREEN traffic light sequence on the handle LED. The
handle LED will remain solid GREEN for up to 10 seconds while the handle tries to establish communication with a
dbSentry or dbRemote Node (which typically takes less than 2 seconds). If the Reader LED remains GREEN for the
full 10 seconds, the dbDualLock (S) has not been able to establish communication with a dbSentry or dbRemote
Node and therefore assumes that it is connected to a 3rd party Access Panel.
After the power-up sequence, a flashing RED LED on the handle signifies that communication with the fingerprint
sensor has been lost. The handle will remain inoperative until the issue is resolved.
Updating Firmware
Connected to a dbSentry or dbRemote Node
Initiate the firmware upload via DAS-SQL
The handle LED will flash AMBER while the handle firmware is being received.
The handle LED will stop flashing and turn solid AMBER to indicate that programming is taking place (which typically
takes around 20 seconds). If power is interrupted in this state, the lock could be irreparably damaged.
Once the programming is complete, the Reader LED will turn GREEN before rebooting. Following which the
dbDualLock (S) performs a RED / AMBER / GREEN traffic light sequence on the Reader LED indicating the handle is
booting up.
If the Reader LED turns RED for 3 seconds or GOES OFF COMPLETELY, there was a problem with the firmware being
received.
Connected to a 3rd-party Access Panel
If a Digitus Support Technician advises that your handle requires a firmware update, Digitus will ship a loan
programmer which, once connected directly to your handle, will update the firmware.
Configuration Cards
Handle Configuration Card
There may be instances where the operational aspects of the handle need to be changed. This is done using a
configuration card.
A member of the Digitus Support Team will advise you if a configuration card is required.
The configuration card is presented to the handle.
The Reader LED will flash GREEN 3 times to indicate that the configuration data was saved to non-volatile memory.
RFID Configuration Card
There may be instances where changes need to be made to the configuration of the RFID reader. This is done using a
configuration card.
A member of the Digitus Support Team will advise you if a configuration card is required.
The dbDualLock (S) needs to be powered off.
At the same time as the dbDualLock (S) is powered up, present the configuration card to the handle – holding to
card to the handle for 10 seconds. There are no visual or audible confirmations that programming has taken place.

Reader LED
Connected to dbSentry or dbRemote Node
If a card was read successfully, the fingerprint templates are read from the card and stored in RAM on the
dbDualLock (S). The handle LED will flash AMBER for up to 5 seconds indicating that the user should place a valid
finger on the fingerprint sensor.
If a finger was placed on the sensor within the 5 second time-out period, the dbDualLock (S) will perform a match
between the finger placed on the fingerprint sensor and the templates read from the card.
If a finger match is obtained, the user’s information is sent to the controller and the handle LED will turn solid
AMBER to show that user verification is in progress.
o If access is granted the handle LED will turn solid GREEN and the handle will unlock for the programmed
“entry delay”.
o If access is denied the handle LED will turn solid RED for 3 seconds.
If a finger is not placed on the sensor during this time, the handle LED will turn solid RED for 3 seconds and access is
denied.
If the finger placed on the fingerprint sensor didn’t match any of the templates read from the card, the handle LED
will turn solid RED for 3 seconds and access is denied.
If an unknown/invalid card is presented or authentication to the card failed the handle LED will turn solid RED for 3
seconds and access is denied.
If the handle is in “Lockdown” mode, the handle LED will alternate between RED and AMBER until “Lockdown” is
cancelled.
Connected to an Access Control Panel
If a valid card was read successfully, the fingerprint templates are read from the card and stored in RAM on the
dbDualLock (S). The handle LED will flash AMBER for up to 5 seconds indicating that the user should place a valid
finger on the fingerprint sensor.
If a finger was placed on the sensor within the 5 second time-out period, the dbDualLock (S) will perform a match
between the finger placed on the fingerprint sensor and the templates read from the card.
If a finger match is obtained, the user’s information is sent to the controller and the handle LED will turn solid
AMBER to show that user verification is in progress.
o If access is granted the handle LED will turn solid GREEN and the handle will unlock for a period of time
determined by the access control panel.
o If access is denied the handle LED will turn solid RED for 3 seconds.
If a finger is not placed on the sensor during this time, the handle LED will turn solid RED for 3 seconds and access is
denied.
If the finger placed on the fingerprint sensor didn’t match any of the templates read from the card, the handle LED
will turn solid RED for 3 seconds and access is denied.
If an unknown/invalid card is presented or authentication to the card failed the handle LED will turn solid RED for 3
seconds and access is denied.
If the handle is in “Lockdown” mode, the handle LED will alternate between RED and AMBER until “Lockdown” is
cancelled.

Status LED
The dbDualLock (S) is equipped with a tri-color RED / MAGENTA / BLUE status LED located on the front of the handle.
The LED states are as follows:
When the dbDualLock (S) is locked and secure the Status LED will turn solid BLUE.
When the dbDualLock (S) is unlocked, but the handle is still closed the Status LED will flash BLUE / MAGENTA.
When the dbDualLock (S)’s handle is in the open state the Status LED will turn solid BLUE.
When the dbDualLock (S) is locked but the handle is still open and therefore unsecure the Status LED will flash
BLUE / RED.
When the dbDualLock (S) is locked, the handle is closed, but not fully engaged and therefore still unsecure the
Status LED will flash BLUE / RED / RED.
