Operating the E-Plex Lock at its KeypadE-Plex Advanced ACS User’s Guide PKG 3114 0106 4–5Entering Pushbutton Programming ModeThis section describes the sequence of tasks to program the lock at the keypad inPushbutton Programming Mode.1. Put the lock in Programming Mode by pressing # Master code #.2. Use the Summary of Pushbutton Programming Commands table on page 8 of thischapter to enter the three digit command sequence (command type + function code),followed by #.3. Enter the appropriate numbers as required.4. Press # to end Programming Mode.5. Once the lock is in Programming Mode, multiple command sequences can be enteredwithout having to repeat the # Master code #. However, if there is no activity for 15seconds at the keypad, the lock will automatically exit from Programming Mode.Example• If the Master or Manager enters his/her code of 87654321, the door will open.• If he/she enters #87654321#, the lock will enter into the Programming Mode and wait forthe next part of the command.• If he/she enters # twice at the end of the code, for example #87654321##, the lock will goout of Programming Mode and return to its normal mode.Note 1: The # (pound sign) acts like the Enter key on a keyboard in your communicationswith the lock. The # tells the lock that one part of the entry is finished. The # serves anotherpurpose—to distinguish a programming type command from a simple Access code to openthe door. A Master or Manager User can use the same number to open the door or to putthe lock in Programming Mode, the only difference being that he or she uses the # sign infront to signal that he or she is about to enter a programming command.Note 2: Correct errors during a command sequence. If an invalid entry occurs, recoverfrom the mistake by entering the (*) key, which will clear all entries made from thebeginning of the current command sequence, and will reset the 15-second time limit forentering the code. In this case, you still have 15 seconds from the first number entered toenter the whole code.Modifying the Master User PIN (Command 000#)Required User Level: MasterTo change the Factory code or current Master code, follow these steps:1. Put lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.2. Use the command, 000, for Master, then the new Master code number.3. You must use eight digits between 00000000 and 99999999 as follows:000#MMMMMMMM#; for example, 000#87654321#.4. Enter the Master Code again 87654321# for confirmation.Example of complete entry: 000#87654321#87654321#.5. Key in another # to indicate the end of programming.6. After you are finished, you will always use your own Master code. Please write down thecode and keep in a safe place. The factory code is no longer valid.
