What are the states of the Lock in E-Plex 2000 Series and PowerPlex 2000 Series Locks

Question

What are the states of the Lock in E-Plex 2000 Series and PowerPlex 2000 Series Locks?

Answer

Factory Mode 
The factory mode is one of three primary states of the E-Plex 2000 and the PowerPlex 2000. The main characteristics of this state are:

• The E2000/PowerPlex 2000 opens only when the 8-digit master combination (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8) is keyed in.
• The visual indication for ‘access granted’ is green LED flashing once. A high-pitched tone is also generated while the green LED is on.
• The Master User must change the combination to be able to exit the factory mode, and switch to the access mode.

Access Mode 
This mode refers to a lock that is operational for user access, and not in factory or Programming Mode.

Pushbutton Programming Mode 
The lock enters the Pushbutton Programming Mode when the user enters the master combination or one of the manager combinations, preceded and followed by the character ‘#’ (ex: #12345678#). Once the E-Plex 2000 is in the Pushbutton Programming Mode, the Master/Manager can enter one or more command sequences. Each command sequence ends with a ‘#’ character that acts like an <enter> character. At the very end of all sequences of programming commands, enter one more # to remove the lock from the Pushbutton Programming Mode to return to normal access mode.
