How to activate/de-activate lockout mode in E-Plex 36xx/37xx/56xx/57xx Series Locks?

Answer

The Master user (and only the Master) can perform a global lockout if required, for example during a strike or fire, etc. At times like this you do not want anyone to return to work and so you should perform a global lockout temporarily. The following procedure can either de-activate & re-activate all user credentials including the managers (but not the Master user) temporarily.

Required User Level: Master, Manager

1. Put the lock into “LearnLokTM” Pushbutton Programming Mode - ># Master PIN #
2. Enter Command 499# to de-activate all users.
3. Enter 1# to activate the Global Lockout Mode (or, 0# to de-activate Lockout Mode).
4. Example of Complete Entry to activate Lockout Mode: 499#1# #.
5. Example of Complete Entry to de-activate Lockout Mode if Lockout was still in effect: 499#0# #.
