Question

How to set the date/time in E-Plex 36xx/37xx/56xx/57xx Series Locks?

Answer

Note: Not required if software is not used since you will not be able to audit lock without the software.

You must enter the current date and time in each lock to enable accurate programming and auditing. Always enter Standard Time; the software package (if and when used) will make the adjustment for Daylight Savings Time and from then on will switch the 1 hour spring/fall time automatically when the DST switch occurs every spring and fall. Enter 001 for date settings and 002 for time settings. Date / time settings are maintained even after a battery change unless you remove the batteries for more than two minutes. If this happens, the time will be reset to 00:00:00 and the date to 01/01/2000 and you must rest the lock to the current date & time.

1. Put lock into pushbutton programming mode.
2. Enter the date as follows: 001#MMDDYY# (Month, Day, Year, where MM = 01 to 12; DD = 01 to 31; YY = 00 to 99. For example, Nov. 22, 2007 would be entered as 112207).
3. Enter the date again to confirm MMDDYY#. Example of Complete Entry: 001#112207#112207#.
4. For the time, enter as follows: 002#HHMM#, where HH = 00 to 23 hours; MM = 00 to 59 minutes. Use military time - for example eight-thirty in the morning would be 0830, while in the evening it would be 2030).
5. Enter the code again HHMM#, for example 0830.
6. Example of Complete Entry: 002#0830#0830#.
7. Enter another # to indicate the end of programming.
8. The current date and time are now programmed into the lock.
