11.2.2 Operating
Problems
Problem:
1)
The lock does not respond to the keycard.
Possible causes:
x
Keycard is not properly encoded.
x
Keycard is encoded for the wrong room/section/group, etc.
x
Keycard has been cancelled by a newer keycard or has expired.
x
Keycard has been cancelled by the Group Lockout.
x
Keycard has been cancelled by a Reset keycard.
x
Keycard valid for different time zone.
Solutions:
x
It is quite common to make errors in encoding, such as assigning the wrong
room number. It may also be possible that the keycards have not been properly
encoded but the operator has not noticed the warning from the FDU. In most
cases, a new keycard will work in the lock.
x
If the problem persists, the addresses in the lock should be verified using the
Reset Addresses function.
x
In the days following installation, it is common to have problems with staff
keycards. If the staff keycards appear to be denied access to certain rooms for no
reason, new keycards may have been issued instead of duplicates or original
copies of the New keycard made in a single transaction of the FDU. In this case,
each new keycard cancels the existing keycards in all the locks in which it is
used, creating what appears to be a random pattern of malfunctions. The solution
is to reset the rooms in that address (Section/Group/etc.) and issue a new
keycard. Subsequent keycards to other individuals should be encoded as
duplicates.
Problem:
2)
The lock displays a red light in response to the keycard.
Possible causes:
x
The deadbolt has been thrown from the inside.
x
The Hotel, Room or Salesman's Lockout has been used.
Solutions:
x
Before removing a Room or Hotel Lockout, it is advisable to check with security
to see what the purpose of the lockout was. The room may have been locked out
