4INTRODUCTIONThe E-Plex 2000 (E2000) and the E-Plex PowerStar 2000(EPS2000) are both easy to use PIN only lock series that donot require any software to operate.E2000 OperationThe E2000 uses three (3) AA alkaline batteries. This means thatanytime you can simply access the lock with your valid PIN and/oryou can program the lock at its keypad since the lock power isalways present for its electronic circuit to operate.EPS2000 OperationThe EPS2000 Self Powered Lock does not contain any batteriesand is environmentally friendly (“Green” lock). The lock electronicsare always “asleep” but to activate the circuit to access and/or pro-gram the lock, you must power the lock by depressing the frontlock lever down at least once. This energizes the lock temporarilyfor a few seconds, enough time for you to enter your PIN and openthe lock, or start to program the lock with a command sequence.Typically, you will need to pump the lock lever only once wheneveryou need to access the lock, or to start programming the lock.However, if you had not operated the lock for a few days and thentrying 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 whenyou are trying to program many user PINs one after the other—saymore 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 handleagain once to recharge which will enable you to continue program-ming the lock.
