User PINs
For the Model 15xx lock, use of the User PIN is optional. It can be defined to a
length of 0 (in which case no PIN has to be entered with the User ID) or it can
be defined to a length of 1-4 digits.
The default PIN length is four digits. If
defined to a length other than 0, the User PIN can be any value in the range
from all 0’s through all 9’s. It is initially assigned the
default value of all 0’s
(which will not open the lock until it has been changed), and can be changed at
any time by the user for added security. If defined, it serves as the second part
of the combination, always following the User ID.
User ID Groups
Users may be organized into groups according to their assigned User IDs with
each group capable of having lock entry enabled or disabled by managerial per-
sonnel. In addition, user entry may be enabled or disabled by a particular User
ID. The disabled status of a group takes precedence over the disabled/enabled
status of any single User ID within the group. However, if a group is enabled, the
status of the user takes precedence.
Group 00 is a special group that includes all User IDs. If your system only has a
one-digit User ID defined, you will only have three valid User ID groups: 1)
Group 00 = All Users; 2) Group 01 = User IDs 0-4; 3) Group 02 = User IDs 5-9.
For a two-digit User ID the 00-99 range of User IDs is divided into 20 groups,
each having five consecutive User IDs as illustrated in the following table.

Combinations
The PowerLever Series Lock is accessed via a combination entered at the key-
pad. A Variable Length Combination is a feature of the Model 15xx lock. The
combination can consist of as little as a one-digit User ID or the length can be
up to six digits in length and consist of a User ID followed by a Personal
Identifier Number (PIN). Regardless of the combination length, a combination
will always be unique to a given user.
The default combination length is six
digits (two-digit User ID + four-digit PIN). The length of the combination
must be changed during the set-up of the lock if the combination length needs to
be something other than the default. Once the lock has been operational, the
length of the combination can be changed but only under certain conditions. If
you wish to
decrease the length of the User ID and/or the PIN, the lock must
be in a
Shelved state. If you wish to increase the length of either part of the
combination, the lock may be in an
Activated or a Shelved state. See the
section on Operational Modes for more detail on Activated and Shelved locks.
User IDs
For the Model 15xx lock, the User ID can be a one or two-digit value.
The
default User ID length is two digits. A User ID is assigned to each user in
the system. For a one-digit User ID, the valid IDs are 0-9. For a two-digit ID, the
valid IDs are 00 through 99, regardless of the maximum number of Access
Users. All operations performed by users require the entry of the User ID as the
first or, in some cases, the only part of the combination. The Master User has
the ability to assign User IDs for all four user types when adding them to the
lock. The Manager User can only assign User IDs for Access Users and a
Service User.
The Master User is the only user whose User ID can be changed from one value
to another without deleting and re-adding the user.
Note: All users including the Master User, Manager User, Access Users and
Service User occupy one of the available User IDs when added to the lock. For
example, if the Master User activates the lock and changes the default combi-
nation from “000000” to “011234” the Master User then occupies the User ID
“01”. No other user can then be assigned the User ID of “01”.
