To Disengage (retract swingbolt)
: Enter/present a valid Credential to open and the
lock will flash the green LED indicating that you are a valid user and you are allowed to
disengage the swingbolt to unlock. Turn the thumbturn on the lock front housing clock-
wise and hold. The swingbolt will fully retract down and will stay retracted, allowing
you to enter the door. Let go of the thumbturn so that it will revert back to its normal
horizontal (home) position but the swingbolt will stay retracted and disengaged.

also
disengage the swingbolt using the
mechanical override key
by perform-
ing the following operation: insert the mechanical key in the lock override cylinder’s
vertical slit and turn it clockwise to the horizontal position.
With the key still in this
horizontal position
, turn the thumbturn clockwise to disengage the swingbolt which will
fully retract down and will stay retracted. Let go off the thumbturn so that it will revert
back to its normal horizontal (home) position. Turn the key back to its vertical position
and remove it from the lock cylinder.

BATTERy LIFE AND REPLACEMENT
The E-Plex Lock uses 4 “AA” alkaline (only) batteries. A variety of factors such as the
shelf life, number of lock openings per day, if the users have been accessing the lock in
card only mode or PIN and card mode, the environment, battery brand, lock settings, etc.,
will determine how long your lock will operate on a set of batteries. In average conditions,
a set of 4AA alkaline batteries can last up to 150,000 openings.
A Low Battery condition is identified by a flash of both red and green LEDs when a valid
access credential is entered/presented and the lock will still give access. During the low
battery state, the lock can continue operating another 500+ openings. However, it is
strongly recommended that all four alkaline batteries in the pack should be replaced as
soon as possible. This is especially true in winter when the temperatures go down very
low and the battery low duration is considerably shortened.
