4
States of the Lock
Factory Mode
The factory mode is one of three primary states of the E-Plex Lock. The main
characteristics of this state are:
• The E-Plex Lock opens only when the 8-digit master
combination (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8) is keyed in.
• The visual indication for ‘access granted’ is green LED flashing once.
A high-pitched tone is also generated while the green LED is on.
• The Master User must change the combination to be able to exit the
factory mode, and switch to the access mode.
Access Mode
This mode refers to a lock that is operational for user access, and not in facto-
ry or Programming Mode.
Pushbutton Programming Mode
The E-Plex lock enters the Pushbutton Programming Mode when the user
enters the master combination or one of the manager combinations, preceded
and followed by the character ‘#’ (ex: #12345678#). Once the E-Plex Lock is in
the Pushbutton Programming Mode, the Master/Manager can enter one or more
command sequences. Each command sequence ends with a ‘#’ character that
acts like an < enter > character. At the very end of all sequences of program-
ming commands, enter one more # to remove the lock from the Pushbutton
Programming Mode to return to normal access mode.
Sequence of Operations for Start-Up Programming
What is the recommended sequence of operations?
With the E-Plex Lock in the factory mode.
• Program the Access Code Length (default length is four digits).
The access
code field length can only be changed when the lock is not activated
(when still in the factory mode).
• Change factory Master to your own Master Code (always eight digits) to
place lock in access mode.
Put lock in Pushbutton Programming Mode.
• Set the Date / Time
• Program the Lock ID and Unlock time
•
Program the Lock for the Duration of Passage Mode (if desired)
• Program the Lock for Tamper Time Settings
• Program the Lock for Buzzer Volume
• Add Access Codes as desired

Configuring the Lock
General Procedure for Pushbutton Programming
1. The pages that follow provide step-by-step instructions for programming
the E-Plex Lock.
5

6
2. The general procedure for all programming functions is as follows:
a. Put the lock in Programming Mode by pressing # Master Code #
b. Use the Summary of Commands Table in the appendix section of this
guide to enter the three digit command sequence (Command Type +
unction Code), followed by #.
c. Enter the appropriate numbers as required.
d. Press # to end Programming Mode.
e. Once the lock is in programming mode, multiple command sequences
can be entered without having to repeat the #mastercode#.
However, if there is no activity for 15 seconds at the keypad, the lock
will automatically exit from programming mode.
For example
• If the Master or Manager enters his code of 87654321, the door will
open.
• If he enters #87654321#, the lock will enter into the Programming
Mode and wait for the next part of the command.
• If he enters the # sign twice at the end of the code, for example
#87654321##, the lock will go out of Programming Mode and
return to its normal mode.
Note: The # pound sign acts like the Enter key on a keyboard in your
communications with the lock. The # tells the lock that one part of the
entry is finished. The # serves another purpose - to distinguish a program-
ming type command from a simple Access Code to open the door. A Master
or Manager User can use the same number to open the door or to put the
lock in Programming Mode, the only difference being that he uses the #
sign in front to signal that he is about to enter a programming command.
or increased security, it is recommended that the master user code not
be used for everyday access. This can be accomplished by creating an
access user code for the master user.
Reset Procedures
There are three different “Reset” levels available in the E-Plex Lock.
Code 099# will reset the lock to the factory default settings except for the
access code length (Master, Manager Access User codes and Time / Date
are retained if already programmed)
Code 299# will delete all access and service user codes (Master, Manager
and M-Unit * users are retained)
Hard Reset will return the lock to factory mode including deleting all codes,
putting the lock back to factory default values (4 digit access code length)
and making the master code 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. A hard reset is performed as fol-
lows.
Insert key, turn and hold in open position (Latch retracted).
Within 5 seconds, press # and then release latch
While red /green light flashes, press 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-# on keypad

7
The lock will reset. A green light with corresponding high pitch tone indicates
reset is complete and successful.
Lock is now reset to the factory mode and the Master Code is now
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8.
*M-Unit is only applicable when using optional E-Plex software.
PROCEDURE 1 - PROGRAM THE ACCESS CODE
LENGTH
Setting the length of Access Codes must be the first lock programmable func-
tion you perform, because all your other access codes must have the same
length. If a user enters a code of a different length, the lock will not accept it.
Longer length Access Codes permit a greater number of code possibilities, and
thus higher security. The master code must always be 8 digits. This length can
not be changed.
Required User Level: Master
1. To configure the E-Plex Lock programmable pushbutton lock, it must first
be placed in Programming Mode.
mportant: This is the only programmable function that can be done
during the factory mode using the factory master code. Except for
changing from the factory code to a new master code.
2. Enter the E-Plex Lock factory Master (Programming) Code
(#12345678#). The lock responds with a flashing green light.
If 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 does not seem to work, please follow the steps
to perform a hard reset by following the procedure in on page 6.
3. Enter the code 009 #LL #, where LL represents the length (number of
digits in a code). The range is from 04 to 08 digits. You can leave the
factory default Access Code length (4 digits) if you wish by not
changing the length.
4. Example of Complete Entry: 009#05# to change the code length to 5
digits.
5. Key in another #to indicate the end of programming.
6. rom now on, all the Access Codes you create must be the length
specified in this step.

8
PROCEDURE 2 - MOD FY THE MASTER USER ACCESS
CODE
Required User Level: Master
1. To change the factory code or current Master Code, follow the next three
steps:
2. Put lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
3. Use the command, 000, for Master, then the new Master Code number.
4. You must use 8 digits between 00000000 and 99999999 as follows:
000#MMMMMMMM#, we’ll use 000#87654321# as an example.
5. Enter the Master Code again 87654321# for confirmation.
6. Example of Complete Entry: 000#87654321#87654321#.
7. Key in another #to indicate the end of programming.
8. After that, you will always use your own Master Code. Please write the code
down and keep in a safe place. The factory code is no longer valid.
PROCEDURE 3 - SET THE DATE / T ME
Note: Not required if software is not used
You must enter the current date and time in each lock to enable accurate
programming and auditing. Always enter Standard Time; the software package
will make the adjustment for Daylight Savings Time. These must be regularly
updated according to your maintenance schedule. Enter 001 for date settings
and 002 for time settings. Date / time settings are kept after a battery change
unless you remove the batteries for more than two minutes. In this case, the
time is reset to 00:00:00 and the date to 01/01/00.
Required User Level: Master
1. Put lock into pushbutton programming mode.
2. Enter the date as follows: 001#MMDDYY# (Month, Day, Year, where MM
= 01 to 12; DD = 01 to 31; YY = 00 to 99. or example, Nov. 22, 2007
would be entered as 112207).
3. Enter the date again to confirm MMDDYY#. Example of Complete Entry:
001#112207#112207#.
4. or the time, enter as follows: 002#HHMM#, where HH = 00 to 23
hours; MM = 00 to 59 minutes. Use military time - for example eight-
thirty in the morning would be 0830, while in the evening it would be
2030).
5. Enter the code again HHMM#, for example 0830.
6. Example of Complete Entry: 002#0830#0830#.
7. Enter another #to indicate the end of programming.
8. The current date and time are now programmed into the lock.

9
PROCEDURE 4 - PROGRAM THE LOCK D AND
UNLOCK T ME
Assign an ID number to each lock for configuration and auditing purposes. This is
an internal number (default 0000), and is the same as the door number. Unlock
time is the length of time the door will remain unlocked when a correct code is
entered before automatically re-locking itself.
Required User Level: Lock D: Master, Unlock Time: Master, Manager
1. Put the lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
2. To set up the Lock ID, enter command 003#.
3. Enter NNNN (where NNNN is the lock ID - a number from 0000 to
9999). or example, 1234.
4. Example of Complete Entry: 003#1234#.
5. The lock ID is now in its memory.
6. Enter another #to indicate the end of programming, or remain in
programming mode to continue.
7. To establish Unlock Time, enter the following code: 004#TT#,where TT
is the time in seconds, (TT=02 to 20 seconds, for example 10 seconds).
8. Example of Complete Entry: 004#10#.
9. Enter another #to indicate the end of programming.
10. You have now programmed the lock ID 1234 and, for example, an Unlock
Time of 10 seconds for the door.
PROCEDURE 5 - PROGRAM THE DURAT ON OF THE
PASSAGE MODE PER OD
You might want to program locks for public areas, such as cafeterias, to have
free access (Passage Mode) during certain periods of the day, and revert to
required code access outside of these regular hours.
The length of time that the lock remains in Passage Mode is programmable.
The factory default length of time for Passage Mode is 9 hours - you may leave
the default, but by default, the lock’s passage mode is de-activated.
When the lock is activated at the lock keypad to go into Passage Mode, it will
automatically relock after the designated duration.
Required User Level: Master, Manager
1. Put the lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
2. Enter command code 005#.
3. Then TT#, where TT= 01 to 24 hours.
4. A TT entry of 00 means there is no time limit - the door remains
unlocked (permanently).
5. Enter 005 #TT#; for example, 005#06# for six hours.

10
6. Example of Complete Entry: 005#06#.
7. Enter another #to indicate the end of programming.
8. In this example, the lock will remain unlocked for six hours, starting from
the time you activate it in Passage Mode.
9. You have now configured the duration of the Passage Mode period for
that lock. This does NOT initiate Passage Mode until you activate the
Passage Mode - See Procedure 12 on “How to activate/deactivate the
Passage Mode.”
10. The new length of time will take effect the next time you put a lock into
Passage Mode by following the correct command sequence.
PROCEDURE 6 - PROGRAM THE LOCK FOR TAMPER
T ME PARAMETERS
You can set a Tamper Time Wrong Tries parameter referring to the number
of times the wrong code can be entered before the lock goes into Tamper
Shutdown Mode.
or example, if you program the lock to accept three wrong tries, the lock will
tolerate three wrong entries, staying locked but providing visual feedback (see
visual message chart in rear section). After that, it will go into a Tamper
Shutdown Mode and remain locked until the end of the Tamper Shutdown Time
period - the length of that period is configured in Step 4 of this procedure
(below).
Required User Level: Master, Manager
1. Set the tamper time for the period of time during which the keypad will
remain inaccessible after the specified number of wrong Access Codes
are entered
2. Put the lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
3. Enter the code as follows - 006#TT# (TT is seconds - 00 to 90 seconds).
4. Example of Complete Entry: 006#60#. (for 60 seconds)
5. Enter the code as follows: 007 #TT# (TT is number of wrong entries -
03 to 09), let’s use 05 for example.
6. Example of Complete Entry: 007#05#.
7. Enter another #to indicate the end of programming.
8. The lock will stay locked after three wrong entries for the length of time
you select in the steps below, even if a valid code (including the
Master or a Manager Code) is entered after the three wrong codes.
Only the mechanical key override will open the lock during the
tamper shut down Period.
9. Enter another #to indicate the end of programming.
