Question

How to program the Access Code Length in E-Plex 30xx/50xx?

Answer

PROGRAM THE ACCESS CODE LENGTH

Setting the length of Access Codes must be the first lock programmable function you perform, because all your other access codes must have the same length. If a user enters a code of a different length, the lock will not accept it. Longer length Access Codes permit a greater number of code possibilities, and thus higher security. The master code must always be 8 digits. This length can not be changed.

Required User Level: Master

1. To configure the E-Plex Lock programmable pushbutton lock, it must first be placed in Programming Mode.

Important: This is the only programmable function that can be done during the factory mode using the factory master code. Except for changing from the factory code to a new master code.

2. Enter the E-Plex Lock factory Master (Programming) Code (#12345678#). The lock responds with a flashing green light. If 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 does not seem to work, please follow the steps to perform a hard reset by following the procedure in on page 6.
3. Enter the code 009 #LL #, where LL represents the length (number of digits in a code). The range is from 04 to 08 digits. You can leave the factory default Access Code length (4 digits) if you wish by not changing the length.
4. Example of Complete Entry: 009#05# to change the code length to 5 digits.
5. Key in another # to indicate the end of programming.
6. From now on, all the Access Codes you create must be the length specified in this step.
