PowerPlex 2000 Series Operation

PowerPlex 2000 Operation 
The PowerPlex 2000 Self Powered Lock does not contain any batteries and is an environmentally friendly “Green” lock. The lock electronics are always “asleep” but to activate the circuit to access and/or program the lock, you must power the lock by depressing any button on the locks keypad. This energizes the lock for you to enter the remainder of your PIN and open the lock; or start to program the lock with a command sequence. If you have not operated the lock for a few weeks, you will need to pump the handle 4 to 6 times to “recharge” the lock before using it. If the lock is used on a regular basis, pumping the lever is not neccessary. 

During a multiple command sequence at the lock’s keypad when you are trying to program many user PINs one after the other—say more than 5 or 6 users, you will notice that the lock will start flashing the Red light (LED) every second (typically after about 20 seconds), indicating that the stored lock power is beginning to fade. When you see this Red light flashing, you must pump the handle again once to recharge which will enable you to continue programming the lock.

 Important: When you pump the handle, the lock will flash the Green light once accompanied by a high pitched beep indicating that it is “ready”—either for you to enter your valid access PIN, or for you to start programming. If you do not pump the handle, there will be no response from the lock and consequently there will be no access granted.
