Operating the E-Plex Lock at its KeypadE-Plex Advanced ACS User’s Guide PKG 3114 0106 4–3• Battery brand• Access credential settings (PIN, Prox Card, or both)• Lock settingsIn ideal conditions, you can expect up to 120,000 openings using four “AA” Alkaline batteries.A flash of both red and green LEDs identifies a low battery condition when a valid credential(PIN, Prox Card, or both) is presented, and the lock will still open. When you observe a lowbattery condition, the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.Battery Pack ReplacementAlways replace all 4 batteries in the pack with good quality, AA alkaline batteries. If youreplace the batteries within 2 to 3 minutes, the lock will continue working as before, grantingand denying access to users based on their access schedules.If the battery replacement time is longer than 2 to 3 minutes, you may lose the current dateand time of the lock, even though all the user and lock configuration parameter informationwill not be lost. When the lock loses its date/time, all of your access schedule times will beout of sync, thus denying access to valid users. In this case, you MUST update the lock’sdate/time with the current date/time in the M-Unit.You can do this simply by putting the lock in Communications Mode (enter the 900#command on the lock keypad and tap Program on the M-Unit screen) and then tappingClose. On the E-Plex ACS Diagnostics screen of the M-Unit, tap Sync Clock. The M-Unitscreen will refresh and displays the correct date and time. Tap Close to exit the Diagnosticprogram, and then tap Disconnect to end communications.Important: Please ensure that your M-Unit’s current date and time are set correctly beforesynchronizing with the lock. If you forget to update the date/time, the lock will keep flashingthe red LED every 8 seconds as a reminder until the lock’s date/time is updated.Note: In rare instances, when you reconnect the lock with new batteries, the lock may notre-initialize properly; a typical symptom is that the lock does not recognize any pushbuttoninput. If this happens, disconnect the battery pack, press any one of the pushbuttons for aminimum of 2 seconds to discharge the built-in circuit capacitance, and then re-connect thebattery pack. Wait a couple of seconds until you see the green LED flash once, followed bythe sound of the motor crunching and a high pitched beep indicating that the lock has re-initialized properly.Sequence of OperationsThis section describes the sequence of operations for accessing and programming the E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 lock.With the E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 in the Factory Mode:• Program the lock function of the lock if you want it to be anything other than the factorydefault “Entry” function.Note: Refer to the separate “E-Plex 5X00 Lock Function Setup Guide” for instructionson changing to the desired BHMA lock function.• Change factory Master to your own Master Code (always eight digits) to place lock inAccess Mode.
