8For 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 Modeand 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 itsnormal 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 typecommand from a simple Access Code to open the door. A Master or ManagerUser can use the same number to open the door or to put the lock inProgramming Mode, the only difference being that he uses the # sign in frontto signal that he is about to enter a programming command. For increasedsecurity, 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 themaster 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 except for theaccess code length (Master and Manager User codes are retained if alreadyprogrammed)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 all codes,putting the lock back to factory default values (4 digit access code length) andmaking 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 tothe door.• Insert a long non-metallic blunt ended tool in the screw hole to press andrelease the Reset-to-Factory-Default button. You will hear the motor turning ifsuccessful, meaning the lock has reset.
