OPERATOR’S MANUAL 1
The smartest safe lock in the business.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Sherlock is an electronic lock package and this manual documents its operation.
1.1 SCOPE OF DOCUMENT
This manual provides all of the information you need to operate and administrate the Sherlock electronic lock.
This document specifically covers the keyed version of Sherlock supporting one or two doors. This document
provides the operating instructions for all users, up to and including the owner.
1.2 SHERLOCK OVERVIEW
Sherlock is an intelligent lock package made up of a display module (outer board), a lock control module
(inner board), power supply, and interconnecting cables. Electronic keys are assigned to employees, along
with PINs (personal identification numbers). Up to 27 keyed employee level users may be enrolled at one
time, plus managers and special purpose keys. Sherlock may be programmed to restrict access to the safe
using time delays and timelocks. An audit trail records all user activity. This log may be displayed or printed.
Sherlock supports advanced features such as timeout penalty for entering the wrong PIN too many times.
1.3 APPLICATIONS
Sherlock is designed for applications restricting safe access to certain hours with a log of user access.
Sherlock is setup to provide more restricted access to the high-value inner compartment while allowing
broader employee access to tills and change stored in the outer compartment. Sherlock requires an enrolled
key with a valid PIN number to grant access during authorized hours. Proper application of signs combined
with this technology provides maximum employee safety and theft protection. The audit trail is a log that can
be used to obtain a detailed history of employee activity to determine who entered the safe and when.
2.0 FEATURES
2.1 AUDIT TRAIL
The Audit Trail is a 2000 line record of operational history. Everything that any user does is recorded in this
log. This includes safe entry, door opening, and programming changes. The audit trail may be displayed or
printed. Employee keys and the Store Manager key may used to view the audit trail. The Area Manager and
Owner may also print the audit data.
2.2 TIME DELAY
The purpose of an inner door time delay is to protect employees during a robbery while still allowing con-
trolled access for legitimate purposes. Most robbers are not willing to stay in a store long enough for delay to
time out. They will take what they can from the outer compartment, but will leave drop money. Only the Owner
key has permission to edit the inner door delay (the factory default is 15 minutes). When a delay is set, the
inner door may be accessed after the delay is satisfied by logging in a second time during a period called
the Access Time. Also programmable, the default access time is 5 minutes. Once the access time has
expired, the delay must once again be satisfied before the door may be accessed again.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL

The smartest safe lock in the business.
2.3 TIMELOCK
The purpose of a timelock is to completely prevent safe access during specified hours. This not only keeps
a burglar out, and keeps employees honest by not allowing them the opportunity to enter the safe outside of
authorized business hours. The Area Manager or Owner key is required to edit timelocks. The Store Manager
and Audit keys, however, may be used to view timelock settings. By default, the safe goes into timelock at
11:59 pm each day and comes out of timelock at 8:00 am each day. Each day can be set separately to
accommodate opening and closing schedules. Note that timelock operates on a 24 hour clock. Any time after
12:00 midnight is considered the next day. Each day has 3 time slots that can be programmed (initial lock
time, unlock time, and last lock time). This allows the safe to be timelocked after midnight, unlocked in the
morning, and locked again prior to midnight. To disable the capability to lock during the AM or PM, “99:99”
must be programmed into that time slot. The times that are programmed into the timelock can be viewed on
the display screen or printed on a printer.
2.4 SYSTEM CLOCK
The system clock is essential to proper operation of timelock, delays, and audit data. The day, date and time
may only be set by the Area Manager or Owner keys. Daylight Savings Time, however, can be adjusted by
the Store Manager only.
2.5 USERS
Up to 27 Employee keys may be enrolled in the Sherlock, plus managers. Users are identified by an elec-
tronic key and four-digit PIN. While up to 27 Employee keys may be enrolled, only one key of each of the
other key types may be enrolled at any time. For example, you cannot have two Store Managers keys
enrolled in the same safe, but you will usually have an Area Manager and a Store Manager both enrolled. The
Sherlock Key Chart illustrates the permissions of each key type. Note that key type 28 is not listed (key type
28 is reserved for factory use only). In general, only your company’s loss prevention management may order
replacement keys. Keys are encoded by the factory for key type. The Key Count feature is used to see which
user numbers are currently assigned to keys.

2.5.1 Employees
Employee Keys are assigned to Users 01 through 27 and have permission to access doors, view the audit
log, and may change their own PIN number. These keys are enrolled by the Area Manager or Owner keys.
2.5.2 Store Manager
The Store Manager key (User 29) may open doors, change their own PIN, delete keys, view audit data, view
key count, or view timelock settings, and adjust daylight savings. This is the highest level key is normally
retained by store personnel. These keys are enrolled by the Area Manager or Owner keys.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL 3
The smartest safe lock in the business.
2.5.3 Area Manager
The Area Manager key (User 30) cannot open safe doors, but can view or print audit and key data, change
clock and timelock settings, and may enroll or delete other keys. This key is purchased as an Area Manager
Key and is self enrolling with verification from an enrolled employee key.
2.5.4 Owner/Super
The Owner key (User 31), sometimes called a “super” key, has the same permissions as the Area Manager
with the additional ability to change the inner door delay. This key is normally retained by the company
security manager. This key is purchased as an Owner (Super) Key and may be enrolled by an Area Manager
key.
2.5.5 Audit
The Audit key (User 32) has only the ability to view or print audit and key data and view timelock settings.
This key is purchased as an Audit Key and may be enrolled by an Area Manager or Owner key.
2.5.6 Armor Car
The Armor Car key (User 33) has the unique ability to override time delay and timelock. Whenever the Armor
Car key logs in, an Employee key or Store Manager key must immediately log in to open the doors. This
allows nearly instant access to the Armor Car carrier while still making a specific user responsible for allowing
the armor car carrier to make the pickup. Armor Car may not perform any other function. This key is pur-
chased as an Armor Car Key and may be enrolled by an Area Manager or Owner key.
2.5.7 System
Certain events logged in the audit trail cannot be assigned to a specific user, such as a time locked and time
unlocked. These entries will appear in the audit trail assigned to User 40, or System.
2.5.8 Employee Key Count
Users 29 to 32 may check the key count to see what user numbers are currently assigned to keys. A user
number that has been enrolled with a key is marked “Y” while unused user numbers marked with a “N.” It
should be noted that enrolling a key to a position already taken will cause the old key to be automatically
deleted from the system (replaced by the new key). Note that user numbers 31 and above will not appear.
2.6 POSITIVE USER IDENTIFICATION
PIN numbers are used to verify keys. Each user’s PIN is four digits long and must be entered whenever the
key is presented. Any user may change their own PIN at any time. Note: if the Owner’s PIN is ever lost,
contact Fire King Security Products Technical Service for assistance. If an incorrect PIN is entered 5 times
consecutively, the unit will go into a 10 minute penalty period where no keypad or key input is accepted. This
prevents continuously attempting different PIN numbers until finding one that works.
2.7 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
Internal circuitry is powered by an external 5 to 12 VDC/AC supply. A standard 120 VAC adapter (North America
only) with 9 VDC output is provided with your safe. Outside North America, your dealer can provide you with
the proper power supply adapter. The power supply is external to the safe so that if it ever fails, the power
supply can be serviced or replaced without entering the safe.
2.8 DISPLAY MODULE
The display module (outer board) provides an LCD display and a standard numeric keypad with soft touch
membrane, key port, and RJ11 data port for printer output. A speaker is provided to signal the user when
certain action is required, certain events are complete, or when some other special condition exists.
2.9 LOCK MODULE
A small circuit board mounted inside the protected interior of the safe communicates with the display module
via internal cable. This inner board stores encrypted key and PIN data. It also energizes the electronic locks
when conditions are met.

3.0 OPERATION
3.1 IDLE SCREENS
When the screen is in an idle state it will indicate either “System Ready” or
“Timelocked.”
3.1.1 System Ready
Normal access is allowed whenever the screen indicates “System Ready.” Re-
member, if a delay is set on the inner door, that delay must still be satisfied in
order to open the inner door.
3.1.2 Timelocked
When the screen says “Timelocked” then the safe cannot be opened except
with the armor car key (User 33). Aside from timelock, all other functions oper-
ate normally.
3.2 CHANGE PIN
Any enrolled user (except Armor Car key) can change their own PIN at any time.
Although Sherlock does not require you to change your PIN, we recommend
that all users change their PIN on a regular basis to minimize the chance of their
PIN data being “shared” by others.
1. Present key. If you see “NOT A VALID KEY,” see your manager to
have your key enrolled.
2. Enter the appropriate 4 digit PIN code. If you see “INVALID CODE”,
you have either entered the incorrect PIN code or the User Number
needs to be added to the lock. See your manager.
NOTE: If an invalid PIN code is entered 5 consecutive times, the lock
will delete the key from the system.
3. Employees select ADMINISTRATION (press “2”) or Managers se-
lect KEYS (press “2”).
4. Employees select PIN# CHANGE (press “2”) or Managers select
CHG PIN# (press “1”).
5. Enter the new 4 digit PIN code.
6. Re-enter the new 4 digit PIN code.
7. The PIN code has been changed. The unit confirms by displaying
the message PIN # CHANGED REMOVE KEY. Remove your key
and the normal idle display will return. The safe is now ready for
normal use.

3.3.2 Open Inner Door
The inner door may be opened at any time, except when the idle display indi-
cates Safe Timelocked. During timelock refer to Section 3.3.3 for Armor Car
access. If your inner door is programmed with a delay, you must log in once,
satisfy the delay requirements, then log in again during the access time to open
both of the safe doors. Sherlock automatically unlocks the outer door when it
unlocks the inner door so that you do not have to open the outer door sepa-
rately. Only Employee and Store Manager keys may open safe doors.
1. Present key.
2. Enter your 4 digit PIN code.
3. Select SAFE (press “1”).
4. Select INNER (press “2”).
5. The delay will begin to count upward. To cancel the delay, press
“0.”
6. When the delay ends, the safe will beep and the access time will
begin. The access time will count up on the screen while idle until
the access time ends. You may terminate the access time count at
any time by pressing “0.”
7. During the access time repeat steps 1 through 2 above. The safe
will then indicate that it is unlocked and you may open both safe
doors. The safe will only remain unlocked for about 5 seconds. To
open, turn the handle and pull the outer door open, then reach in
and turn the inner door knob and pull the inner door open.
8. After the safe doors are closed you may immediately reopen them
as long as the access time is counting on the screen (follow Steps
1 through 2 above). You may terminate the access time count at
any time by pressing “0.”
9. Close both safe doors and make sure the outer door handle rotates
to the closed and locked position. Remove your key. The safe is
again ready for normal use.
10. Regardless of whether the doors are open or whether they have
been opened, the timer will reset when the access time ends and
the delay must be satisfied from the beginning before the inner
door may be opened again.

3.4.2 Add Employees
Add a key to the system by enrolling a key to an available user number. Check
the Key Count to determine which slots are available. Keys for level 29 and
below are standard Sherlock keys. The Store Manager key has added permis-
sions because of User Number assignment only. Only the Area Manager (or
Owner/Super) key can enroll Users 01 through 29. This procedure assigns a
user number to a key and enables it with an active PIN. Once the key and PIN
are issued to the individual, that individual may change their own PIN. Keys for
the Area Manager and above are specially coded for their permission level and
require a different procedure.
1. Present Area Manager key.
2. Enter your 4 digit PIN code.

3.6 SET SYSTEM CLOCK
One of the most important features for system security, usability, and even
employee safety is the system clock. The clock ensures that the timelock acti-
vates during the proper hours. This protects people as well as contents and
ensures employees have appropriate access during business hours. Only the
Area Manager (or Owner/Super) key has permission to change the system clock.

“1.” To change the time setting press “2.”

correct, press “1.” To change the date setting press “2.”

3.8 SET TIMELOCK
Timelock prohibits access to the safe during the hours specified. Timelock
settings include a lock time, unlock time, and a second lock time. Having two
lock times allows for starting timelock after midnight if the previous day does
not go into timelock before midnight. The second lock time allows the timelock
to take effect before midnight. Enter 99:99 for either lock time to disable that
lock time. The Area Manager (or Owner/Super) key is required to edit timelocks.
1. Present Area Manager or Owner/Super key.
2. Enter your 4 digit PIN code.
3. Select TIMELOCK SET (press “4”).
4. Select LOOK (press “1”).
5. The timelock settings for Sunday are displayed first. To make a
change select CHANGE (press “2”). To keep the settings for this
day of the week and move to the next day select NEXT (press “1”).
In this example the first lock time is 99:99 because the previous
night locked prior to midnight. If the safe is not going to lock before
midnight, set the second lock time to 99:99 and set the proper first
lock time on the next day of the week.
6. If you choose to change the timelock settings, AM and PM will be
displayed at the bottom of the screen and the cursor will go to the
beginning of the first lock time. Enter the time desired. Remember
to use 12-hour time and select AM (“1”) or PM (“2”) for each line.
7. When all lines are entered NEXT and CHANGE will again appear at
the bottom of the screen. Select NEXT (press “1”) to go to Monday.
Repeat Steps 6 through 8 until all days are set. When you reach
Saturday the display will instead say REVIEW and EXIT to let you
know you have cycled through all days.
8. To end editing, select EXIT (press “2”) and remove your key.

3.9 VIEW AUDIT TRAIL
The data logged in the audit trail sets Sherlock apart from other lock packages
because you can look back through the last 2000 actions taken and see who
did what, and when. Everything is recorded. For example, if User 06 opens the
outer door, the audit trail will show the exact time and date that User 06 opened
the door. It will also show when the door was shut and if a violation was in-
volved. System events such as power cycles are also recorded. The Store
Manager and above may review the audit trail.
1. Present key.
2. Enter your 4 digit PIN code.
3. Select AUDIT (press “1”).
4. Select DISPLAY AUDIT (press “2”).
Print audit is not available to
Store Manager.
5. The display will indicate the first date of the audit trail to display. To
accept this setting select OK (press “1”) or to change the start date
select CHANGE (press ”2”) and enter a new date (MMDDYY for-
mat).
6. The display will next indicate the last date of the audit trail to dis-
play. To accept this setting select OK (press “1”) or to change the
start date select CHANGE (press ”2”) and enter a new date
(MMDDYY format).
7. Starting with the first entry on the start date, the screen will display
the audit data, one entry at a time. Select NEXT (press “1”) to scroll
forward through the entries. Select EXIT (press “2”) and remove
your key to stop scrolling and return to normal operation.

3.10 PRINTING DATA
Users with appropriate permission may print audit trail data, timelock setup
data, and employee key count data. A standard serial line printer must be
connected to Sherlock via the front panel RJ11 connector. Connect the printer
and ensure it has power, paper, ribbon, etc., before attempting to print. Sher-
lock data output is 2400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. The following
procedure includes the additional steps which you will need to follow whenever
printing, regardless of which data you are printing.
1. After choosing to PRINT, your data (audit, timelock, or employee
count) you will be prompted to connect the printer. Make sure the
printer is connected and ready to print.
2. Select READY (press “1”) to begin printing. If a problem occurs
and you need to cancel the procedure, select RESET (press “2”).
3. Once printing begins you may manually stop the printing by press-
ing any number.
4. If the display indicates NO PRINTER CHECK, there is a problem
with the printer or its data connection. Check your hardware setup
and select RETRY (press “1”) when you believe your setup is cor-
rect.
5. When Sherlock has finished printing a message will appear briefly
on the screen to advise you, then remove your key and it will return
to its normal idle display.

4.0 SERVICE
You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with Sherlock. Understanding its features and characteristics will
drastically diminish the need for assistance. However, should you experience difficulties, you may call 1-800-
452-4655 (812-948-8400 outside USA) to speak to a factory technician. This telephone number is monitored 24-
hours a day. Although you may experience a reasonable delay during evenings and holidays, a technician
will return your call promptly. Do not call your local locksmith for service! Service must be coordinated and
approved by Fire King Security Products to be covered under warranty conditions.
4.1 TROUBLESHOOTING
Safe will not allow access
to any authorized em-
ployees.
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTIONPROBABLE CAUSE
Time lock.
Sherlock is equipped with a
timelock feature.
If the safe has entered the time lock pe-
riod, you must wait for the time lock pe-
riod to expire in order to access the safe
(usually the next day). Only User 29 or User
30 can edit the timelock settings.
Lost PIN. Sherlock uses the employee PIN
as an assurance against unautho-
rized use. The factory does not
have access to your PIN, nor can
your user number be made func-
tional without it.
Contact your supervisor for further assis-
tance. Suggested action is to re-enroll the
affected user number with a new PIN.
Message:
ERROR DELAY
Your PIN was entered incorrectly
five consecutive times.
Sherlock will not respond to your touch for
10 minutes.
No display and no re-
sponse to keypad touch.
The most likely cause is loss of
AC power. Check the power sup-
ply is plugged in and that the out-
let is providing power. Check that
the power supply is plugged into
the safe.
Plug in the power supply and ensure the
outlet has power. If Sherlock remains in-
operable, call the Fire King Security Prod-
ucts Technical Service department.
4.2 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Your Sherlock electronic lock system should provide you with years of trouble free performance. We do
recommend that you regularly wipe the keypad and display with a soft cloth with rubbing alcohol (use
sparingly). Use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean keypad key contacts. Use a pink eraser to clean
keys. Do not attempt to wash your safe’s hinges or other moving parts and never use any cleaning chemi-
cals, water, or other liquids on exposed electronics.
Error Message: Invalid
Key.
The key contacts are dirty, it is
not enrolled or has been dam-
aged.
Clean the key contacts with a pink eraser.
If the key still indicates invalid, check the
employee key count for an open User Num-
ber and attempt to reenroll the key. If the
key will not enroll, replace the key. If no
keys respond or if all keys indicate invalid,
contact Fire King Security Products Tech-
nical Support.
