BlueLockTM
Access control triggered by Bluetooth on your mobile phone
Summary
BlueLock automatically detects known
Bluetooth devices within range. If it detects a
device it recognizes, it energizes the relay.
Applications
Door lock / access control
Automated lighting control
Invisible remote control activates
automatically in the presence of the
cellphone
Features
Up to 128 Bluetooth device IDs may be
stored
Range settable from 1.6m to 50m
FCC / CE certified Class I Bluetooth radio
Integral antenna
External push button release connection
External light/LED indicator connection
LED indicator of Bluetooth status
12V DC supply
Easy installation via screw terminals
Easy ‘learn’ new cellphones process
Operation
Bluelock can be configured to trigger in one of
three operating modes:
Auto Mode:Relay triggers whenever a
recognized device is in range. To operate
in this mode, connect the jumper SIL1
across pins aand b.
Arrival-Only Auto Mode:Relay triggers
whenever a recognized device comes into
range. To operate in this mode, connect
the jumper SIL1 across pins band c. In
addition, it will trigger if a recognized
device is present and then the external
pushbutton is pressed.
Semi-Auto mode: Relay triggers
whenever a recognized device is present
and then the external pushbutton is
pressed. To operate in this mode,
disconnect the jumper on SIL1.
The time delay for which the relay operates
may be set between 1 and 255 seconds.
During normal operation, LED D5 will light
when a recognized device is present. If an
external indicator is connected, it will also light.
LED D4 will flash briefly every 10 seconds to
indicate correct operation.
Care must be taken if this product is used to
switch mains voltages. High voltages must
NOT be present unless the case is shut.
Various settings may be adjusted using
jumper switches inside the unit. When not in
use, the jumpers may be ‘parked’ by placing
them over one pin only, so no connection is
made.

Bluelock Installation
Install Bluelock in an area where you would expect
good radio reception, e.g. at least 1 meter above the
ground and not in a metal enclosure, and also where
it is secure against tampering.
12V should be applied to the 12V connector on screw
terminal TB5. Refer to figures 2 and 3.
The trigger relay is Relay 2. Connect as required.
Relay 2 activates according to the trigger mode
previously described. Relays are not to be used for
mains isolation purposes – the power supply input
must be isolated.
Relay 1 and D5 act as ‘recognized device detected’
indicators. D5 will light when whenever a recognized
device is present. If an external indication is required,
it can be connected to Relay 1.
Some trigger modes use an external pushbutton. If
this is required it should be connected to the screw
terminals marked TB6. The on-board pushbutton
closes the same circuit.
Note: If a Bluetooth device is constantly located
near Bluelock, for example on a desk within range,
the battery will runs down a bit faster quicker than
normal. In this case one option is to set their
phone to non-discoverable mode. Then it will not
respond to scans from Bluelock.

Learning and Erasing Bluetooth devices
Bluelock can learn to recognize up to 128 Bluetooth
devices (i.e. mobile phones). These devices must be
equipped with a Bluetooth radio which is set to
discoverable mode. Note that some Motorola phones
can not be set permanently in a discoverable state.
Learning a new BT device:
1. Ensure the device to be learned is the only
Bluetooth device within range.
2. Connect the jumper SIL2 across pins aand b.
3. BlueLock will scan for devices for 10 seconds.
Each time it detects a Bluetooth device, LED D4
will extinguish briefly. (Note: If D4 flashes rapidly,
all 128 storage locations are full.)
At the end of the 10 seconds:
-If no devices were detected, step 3 repeats.
-If one device was detected, it will be added to
the list of recognized devices and D4 will go
out. Proceed to step 4.
-If more than one device was detected, step 3
repeats.
4. Remove the jumper from SIL2.
Erase all devices from the Bluelock Memory:
1. Connect a jumper across SIL3 pins band c.
LED D4 will light.
2. Press and hold pushbutton SW1. LED D4 will go
out. Hold for at least five seconds.
3. LED D4 will flash slowly indicating that all
recognized devices have been deleted.
4. Remove the jumper link across SIL3.
Setting the Relay Time
The Relay 2 operating time may be set between 1
and 255 seconds. The factory setting is 1 second. In
Auto Mode, this is the time Relay 2 continues to
operate for once recognized devices can no longer
detected. In Arrival-Only Mode, it is the time since
the Relay 2 started operating. In Semi-Auto Mode, it
is the since the button was released.
To set the timed action delay:
1. Connect a jumper across SIL3 pins band c.
LED D4 will light.
2. Briefly press pushbutton SW1. (Do not hold it
down – that erases all devices!)
3. The LED will flash quickly.
4. Wait for the duration that the output is to operate
for, then press pushbutton SW1 again.
5. The LED will stay lit to indicate the operation is
complete.
6. Remove the jumper link across SIL3.

Setting the Detection Range
The detection range may be set to any one of the
following settings:
Table 2. Detection Range Settings
Setting Range†
1 1.5 m / 5 ft
2 3 m / 10ft
3 5 m / 15 ft
4 9 m / 30 ft
5‡ 15 m / 50 ft
6* 30 m / 90 ft
7* 50 m / 160 ft
†Ranges are approximate and depend
on actual operating environment.
*If device to be detected is Class II
The range may be limited to 10m-20m.
‡ Factory setting
To set the detection range:
1. Press and hold down pushbutton SW1.
2. Connect a jumper across SIL3 pins band c. D5
will light until step 7.
3. Release SW1.
4. LED D4 will repeatedly show a series of flashes:
one flash indicates the current range setting is 1,
two flashes indicates setting 2, etc.
5. Press pushbutton SW1 as many times as the
setting you want. For example, for setting 3,
press 3 times.
6. LED D4 will repeatedly flash to show the new
setting.
7. Remove the jumper link across SIL3.
Note that the detection range feature was added to
BlueLock in August 2007. If D5 does not light, the
device was manufactured prior to that date. Such
devices may be reprogrammed on request to enable
range setting. Contact FlexiPanel technical support
for details.
