INTRODUCTION
The E-Plex 2000 (E2000) and the E-Plex PowerStar 2000
(EPS2000) are both easy to use PIN only lock series that do
not require any software to operate.
E2000 Operation
The E2000 uses three (3) AA alkaline batteries. This means that
anytime you can simply access the lock with your valid PIN and/or
you can program the lock at its keypad since the lock power is
always present for its electronic circuit to operate.
EPS2000 Operation
The EPS2000 Self Powered Lock does not contain any batteries
and is environmentally friendly (“Green” lock). The lock electronics
are always “asleep” but to activate the circuit to access and/or pro-
gram the lock, you must power the lock by depressing the front
lock lever down at least once. This energizes the lock temporarily
for a few seconds, enough time for you to enter your PIN and open
the lock, or start to program the lock with a command sequence.
Typically, you will need to pump the lock lever only once whenever
you need to access the lock, or to start programming the lock.
owever, if you had not operated the lock for a few days and then
trying to use it, you will need to pump the handle 4 to 6 times to
“recharge” the lock before using it.
During a multiple command sequence at the lock’s keypad when
you are trying to program many user PINs one after the other—say
more than 5 or 6 users, you will notice that the lock will start flash-
ing the Red light (LED) every second (typically after about 20 sec-
onds), indicating that the stored lock power is beginning to fade.
When you see this Red light flashing, you must pump the handle
again once to recharge which will enable you to continue program-
ming the lock.

5
Important: When you pump the handle, the lock will flash the Green
light once accompanied by a high pitched beep indicating that it is
“ready”—either for you to enter your valid access PIN, or for you to
start programming. If you do not pump the handle, there will be no
response from the lock and consequently there will be no access
granted.
You must instruct your EPS 2000 series lock/door users on how to
use this lock properly: they must always pump the front lever
before entering their access PIN to gain entry. If you do not pump
the handle, you will not get any feedback from the lock and conse-
quently there can be no access.

STATES OF THE LOC
Factory Mode
The factory mode is one of three primary states of the E-Plex 2000 and the E-Plex
PowerStar 2000. The main characteristics of this state are:
• The E2000/EPS2000 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
factory or Programming Mode.
Pushbutton Programming Mode
The lock enters the Pushbutton Programming Mode when the user enters the
master combination or one of the manager combinations, preceded and fol-
lowed by the character ‘#’ (ex: #12345678#). Once the E-Plex 2000 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 2000/EPS2000 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.
• Program the 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 LOC
General Procedure for Pushbutton Programming
1. The pages that follow provide step-by-step instructions for programming the
E-Plex 2000/EPS2000 lock.
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 + Function
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#. owever, if there is no
activity for 15seconds at the keypad, the lock will automatically exit from
programming mode.

8
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 commu-
nications with the lock. The # tells the lock that one part of the entry is fin-
ished. The # serves another purpose - to distinguish a programming 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. For increased
security, it is recommended that the master user code not be used for every-
day 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 2000.
Code 099# will reset the lock to the factory default settings except for the
access code length (Master and Manager User codes are retained if already
programmed)
Code 299# will delete all access and service user codes (Master and
Manager 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 follows.
Resetting a Lock to Factory-Default: (lock must be powered)
• On the inside or back housing, remove the top right screw holding the lock to
the door.
• Insert a long non-metallic blunt ended tool in the screw hole to press and
release the Reset-to-Factory-Default button. You will hear the motor turning if
successful, meaning the lock has reset.

A. 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
Required User Level: Master
A-1 To configure the E-Plex 2000 programmable pushbutton lock, it must first
be placed in Programming Mode.
Important: 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.
A-2 Enter the E-Plex 2000 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 7.
A-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.
A-4 Example of Complete Entry: 009#05#.
A-5 Key in another #to indicate the end of programming.
A-6 From now on, all the Access Codes you create must be the length
specified in this step, which is 5 digits.
B. MODIFY THE MASTER USER ACCESS CODE
Required User Level: Master
B-1 To change the factory code or current Master Code, follow the next three
steps:
B-2 Put lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
B-3 Use the command, 000, for Master, then the new Master Code number.
B-4 You must use 8 digits between 00000000 and 99999999 as follows:
000#MMMMMMMM#, we’ll use 000#87654321# as an example.
B-5 Enter the Master Code again 87654321# for confirmation.
B-6 Example of Complete Entry: 000#87654321#87654321#.
B-7 Key in another #to indicate the end of programming.
B-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.
Required User Level: Master

10
C. PROGRAM THE UNLOC TIME
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: Master, Manager
C-1 Put the lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
C-2 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).
C-3 Example of Complete Entry: 004#10#.
C-4 Enter another #to indicate the end of programming.
C-5 You have now programmed an Unlock Time of 10 seconds for the door.
D. PROGRAM THE DURATION OF
THE PASSAGE MODE PERIOD
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 on all
models except EPS2000 PowerStar versions.
The factory default length of time for Passage Mode is 9 hours - you may leave
the default.
Once the lock has been put into Passage Mode, it will automatically relock after
the designated duration.
Required User Level: Master, Manager
D-1 Put the lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
D-2 Enter command code 005#.
D-3 Then TT#, where TT= 01 to 24 hours.
D-4 A TT entry of 00 means there is no time limit - the door remains
unlocked.
D-5 Enter 005 #TT#; for example, 005#06# for six hours.
D-6 Example of Complete Entry: 005#06#.
D-7 Enter another #to indicate the end of programming.
D-8 In this example, the lock will remain unlocked for six hours, starting from
the time you put it in Passage Mode.
D-9 You have now configured the duration of the Passage Mode period for
that lock. This does NOT initiate Passage Mode.
D-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.
