Question

How to program the Lock for tamper time parameters in E-Plex 36xx/37xx/56xx/57xx Series Locks?

Answer

You can set the Tamper Time Wrong Tries parameter referring to the number of times the wrong credential can be tried to access before the lock goes into a Tamper Shutdown Mode. For example, if you program the lock to accept three wrong tries, the lock will tolerate three wrong entries, staying locked but providing visual feedback (see visual message chart in rear section). After that, it will go into a Tamper Shutdown Mode and remain locked until the end of the Tamper Shutdown Time period - the length of that period is configured in Step 4 of this procedure below. During this shutdown period, only the Master PIN or the mechanical key will unlock the lock.

Required User Level: Master, Manager

1. Set the tamper time for the period of time during which the keypad will remain inaccessible after the specified number of wrong Access Credentials are entered
2. Put the lock into Pushbutton Programming Mode.
3. Enter the command sequence as follows - 006#TT# (TT is seconds - 00 to 90 seconds).
4. Example of Complete Entry: 006#60#. (for 60 seconds tamper shutdown) Note: If a value of 00 second is entered here, the lock will never go into tamper shutdown mode even after the number of illegal attempts specified (step 6 below).
5. Enter the code as follows: 007 #TT# (TT is number of wrong entries - 03 to 09), let’s use 05 for example.
6. Example of Complete Entry: 007#05#.
7. Enter another # to indicate the end of programming.
8. The lock will stay locked after three wrong entries for the length of time you select in the steps below, even if a valid code (including the Master or a Manager Code) is entered after the three wrong codes. Only the mechanical key override will open the lock during the tamper shut down Period.
9. Enter another # to indicate the end of programming.
