76Configuring the LockGeneral Procedure for Pushbutton Programming1. The pages that follow provide step-by-step instructions forprogramming the E-Plex 2000 lock.2. The general procedure for all programming functions is as follows:a. Put the lock in Programming Mode by pressing # MasterCode #b. Use the Summary of Commands Table in the appendix sectionof 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 commandsequences can be entered without having to repeat the#mastercode#. However, if there is no activity for 15seconds at the keypad, the lock will automatically exitfrom programming mode.For example• If the Master or Manager enters his code of 87654321, thedoor will open.• If he enters #87654321#, the lock will enter into theProgramming Mode and wait for the next part of the command.• If he enters the # sign twice at the end of the code, forexample #87654321##, the lock will go out of ProgrammingMode and return to its normal mode.Note: The # pound sign acts like the Enter key on a keyboard in yourcommunications with the lock. The # tells the lock that one part of theentry is finished. The # serves another purpose - to distinguish aprogramming type command from a simple Access Code to open thedoor. A Master or Manager User can use the same number to open thedoor or to put the lock in Programming Mode, the only difference beingthat he uses the # sign in front to signal that he is about to enter aprogramming command. For increased security, it is recommended thatthe master user code not be used for everyday access. This can beaccomplished by creating an access user code for the master user.Reset ProceduresThere are three different “Reset” levels available in the E-Plex 2000.Code 099# will reset the lock to the factory default settings exceptfor the access code length (Master and Manager User codes areretained if already programmed)Code 299# will delete all access and service user codes (Master andManager users are retained)Hard Reset will return the lock to factory mode including deleting allcodes, putting the lock back to factory default values (4 digit accesscode length) and making the master code 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. A hardreset 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 holdingthe lock to the door.• Insert a long non-metallic blunt ended tool in the screw hole topress and release the Reset-to-Factory-Default button. You willhear the motor turning if successful, meaning the lock has reset.Procedure 1 - Program the Access Code LengthSetting the length of Access Codes must be the first lock programmablefunction you perform, because all your other access codes must havethe same length. If a user enters a code of a different length, the lockwill not accept it. Longer length Access Codes permit a greater numberof code possibilities, and thus higher security. The master code mustalways be 8 digitsRequired User Level: Master1. To configure the E-Plex 2000 programmable pushbutton lock,it must first be placed in Programming Mode.Important: This is the only programmable function thatcan be done during the factory mode using the factorymaster code. Except for changing from the factory code to anew master code.2. Enter the E-Plex 2000 factory Master (Programming) Code(#12345678#). The lock responds with a flashing green light. If1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 does not seem to work, please follow the stepsto perform a hard reset by following the procedure in on page 7.
