load ing of audit and user table information, and uploading of user table information is enabled by a Smart Key* read-
er and a com mu ni ca tion port for a PalmTM ** Personal Organizer. The Smart Key reader may also be used by a
Smart Key Access User to open the lock with a Personal Identifier key.
* iButtonTM memory device man u fac tured by Dallas Semiconductor.
** PalmTM organizers are manufactured by Palm, Inc., a 3Com Company. Any of the Palm™ III handhelds

size varies from 2-8 MB depending on the model.
Model 455x
All Model 455x Door Locks are functionally equivalent. The Model 455x may be a Model 4550 stand alone door lock or a
PowerLever Exit Trim Model, where x refers to the Exit Device man u fac tur er and is rep re sent ed as A, B, C, etc. The
PowerLever Model 455x Door Lock can accommodate a total of 3,000 users and can maintain a 23,430-record audit trail.
PowerLever Operation
The PowerLever lock is designed to operate using internally-generated power. The self-contained PowerStarTM gen-
erator is triggered by depressing the outside lever. Each 67-degree open and 67-degree restore rotation of the lever
con sti tutes a charg ing cycle. A door open op er a tion will require only one charg ing cycle if the period of door lever in -
ac tiv i ty does not exceed a weekend (ap prox i mate ly 65 hours) when operating at normal room temperature. Periods
of non-use beyond a weekend will require two charg ing cycles for a door open operation. One si mul ta neous flash of
the green and red LEDs ac com pa nied by a low volume beep indicates that the lock is powered. Each additional
depression of the lever will result in this same re sponse.
Extended operations such as audit data downloads will require a charging cycle ap prox i mate ly every 15 seconds. A
monitor will provide audio and visual cues to the user when lock power drops below a sufficient level for operation.
The lock will con tin u al ly beep and flash the red LED, prompting the user to depress the outside lever to provide addi-
tional power within 5 seconds.
Smart Keys
Smart Keys are self-contained electronic de vic es that are pro grammed at the PC using the PowerLever PC Software.
They are sophisticated elec tron ic devices that can be used in working with the PowerLever System. They serve as a
com mu ni ca tion link be tween the PowerLever soft ware run ning on a PC and the PowerLever locks in the field and
can even be used to open a PowerLever lock. Each Smart Key is con tained in a color coded plastic holder that iden ti -
fies the type of Smart Key and allows it to be carried on a key ring like a tra di tion al key. The Smart Keys are read at
the lock by a Smart Key Reader imbedded in the face of the lock. At the PC they are read by a Smart Key Reader
attached to the PC through a serial interface.
Key Types
There are two different types of Smart Keys that can be used with the PowerLever system.
• A Key - The A key is an orange colored key with the letter ‘A’ stamped on it. The A key can be pro grammed at the
PC system to be used as a Personal Identifier Key for a Key Access User when ac cess ing the PowerLever locks.
• SA Key - The SA key is a red colored key that is used to transfer data between the PowerLever locks and a PC
running the PowerLever software program. It must be ini tial ized at the PC for a spe cif ic purpose before being used.
Lock Entry Methods
The latch will only be engaged to unlock the door when one of the following actions occurs:
1. A valid combination is entered by an authorized user.
2. A programmed Access User Key is inserted into the lock key reader and a valid PIN (if required) is entered by an
authorized user.
