What are the Lock Responses in Auditcon Models 252 & 552?
Answer
Two simultaneous green and red flashes display and two beeps sound to indicate that the lock is powered. Beeps sound to indicate that there is enough power for the next operation to be performed. If no beeps sound, you must power the lock by briskly turning the dial back and forth.
After each keystroke a green flash is displayed. A beep will also sound if sound is toggled “on”. If the lock does not respond, either the lock has powered down or the key was not pressed properly.
After each accepted step of an operation, simultaneous green and red flashes display, prompting you to enter additional information for the next step of the operation.
After you have completed all the steps of an operation, two simultaneous green and red flashes display if the operation is successful. Three red flashes display if the operation is unsuccessful and you will need to re-key the operation that caused the error.
If a valid combination or combinations are entered to open the lock, the lock will respond as follows to indicate that the lock is ready to open: Dead Bolt - 1 slow green flash Slide Bolt - Continuous green flashes ... for approx. 5 seconds
After five consecutive failed entry attempts (invalid combinations), the lock will disable for three minutes. Slow red flashes display approx. every 3-4 seconds during this period. Beeps will also sound if sound is toggled “on”. Any additional failed entry attempts (after the first five consecutive attempts) result in the lock disabling for three minutes after each failed entry attempt. The count of failed entry attempts accumulates even if the lock powers down between attempts.
A timed lockout is indicated by a series of three red flashes followed by a short pause that continues as long as the lock is powered.
If the Battery Assist option is included on your lock and a 9 Volt Alkaline has been installed for Battery Assist, the LEDs will continually flash throughout the duration of a Time Delay or Open Window period. The Battery Assist feature also provides additional power for lengthy lock operations. There is not a battery low indicator for Battery Assist. If the feature is not functioning properly, check the battery.
