Question

How to program the duration of the passage mode period in E-Plex 30xx/50xx?

Answer

You might want to program locks for public areas, such as cafeterias, to have free access (Passage Mode) during certain periods of the day, and revert to required code access outside of these regular hours. 

The length of time that the lock remains in Passage Mode is programmable. 

The factory default length of time for Passage Mode is 9 hours - you may leave the default, but by default, the lock’s passage mode is de-activated. 

When the lock is activated at the lock keypad to go into Passage Mode, it will automatically relock after the designated duration.

Required User Level: Master, Manager

1. Put the lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
2. Enter command code 005#.
3. Then TT#, where TT= 01 to 24 hours.
4. A TT entry of 00 means there is no time limit - the door remains unlocked (permanently).
5. Enter 005 #TT#; for example, 005#06# for six hours.
6. Example of Complete Entry: 005#06#.
7. Enter another # to indicate the end of programming.
8. In this example, the lock will remain unlocked for six hours, starting from the time you activate it in Passage Mode.
9. You have now configured the duration of the Passage Mode period for that lock. This does NOT initiate Passage Mode until you activate the Passage Mode - See Procedure 12 on “How to activate/deactivate the Passage Mode.”
10. The new length of time will take effect the next time you put a lock into Passage Mode by following the correct command sequence.
