Lock Operating Conventions in Auditcon Models 252 & 552

Question

What are the Lock Operating Conventions in Auditcon Models 252 & 552?

Answer

The power source for the Auditcon 2 Lock Series is PowerStarTM Technology. With this technology an internal generator is used to create all necessary power.

Important Note: The lock must be manually powered before each operation by briskly turning the dial back and forth .

• To clear a combination or keystroke, press the key.
• After initiating a lock operation, if 40 seconds expire without input to the keypad, the lock resets (powers down). You must then power the lock and re-key the entire operation.
• If the lock is powered but you have not started an operation, you are allotted the full 40 seconds
  until the lock powers down to begin an operation.
• If the bolt is not retracted within 4-6 seconds after a valid opening combination is accepted, the lock will “relock”.
• In Dual User access, you should not turn the dial or press between combination entries.

 Please note the following operational differences based on the type of bolt you have installed:

• Dead Bolt (Manual Locking) Technology: 
  There is a “HOME” position for the dial on the lock that is directly related to the manual retraction or extension of the bolt. In the “HOME” position, the lip of the dial will cover the red “open lock” indicator. The dial must be positioned here on a lock “Open’’ operation before you can successfully open the lock. The dial must be turned to the right (CW) to retract the bolt and unlock the lock. The dial must be turned to the left (CCW) to extend the bolt and lock the lock. The lock may not open if more than a 5 lb. force is applied to the end or side of the bolt. 
  The Dead Bolt versions of the Auditcon 2 Lock Series (Models 252 and 552 only) are EN 1300 Class C certified when used with a View Restrictor (P/N 311100 for a Vertical Housing View Restrictor Kit or P/N 301100 for a Round Housing View Restrictor Kit.) When used without the appropriate View Restrictor, these models are only certified as EN 1300 Class B. When the duress alarm feature is used, these models are only certified as EN 1300 Class B.
• Slide Bolt (Auto Locking) Technology:
   Once a combination has been entered and accepted, the lock bolt movement works in conjunction with the bolt works of the container. When the bolt works are disengaged to open the container, the lock bolt will slide into the “unlocked” or retracted position. Once the bolt works are extended to the locked position, the lock bolt automatically slides into the “locked” position. The lock will not open if force is applied to the end or side of the bolt.
