Troubleshooting: Touchscreen

Screen activation

To activate the screen, use one of the three options below:

1.  Touch screen with palm or back of hand until digits illuminate.

2.  Touch lower left area of screen (where Checkmark is located) until 

digits illuminate.

3.  Touch screen with three or more fingers until digits illuminate.

One-second pause

The lock requires a one-second pause immediately after locking or 
unlocking before the touchscreen will re-activate. Fully remove hand 
from screen until the Checkmark or Lock symbol turns off, and then 
activate the screen again.

Touchscreen lockout

If three incorrect codes were entered within one minute, the touchscreen 
will lock for 60 seconds.

No user codes are programmed.

If there are no codes in the lock, the lock symbol will not lock the door. 
This is indicated by the “X” pattern flashing three times with three 
beeps. Program at least one user code and test the Lock symbol again.

The door handing process was not executed.

Perform the manual door handing process, following the instructions 
inside the Installation and User guide.

The battery is too low to lock the door.

This is indicated by the Checkmark and Lock symbols flashing 
simultaneously five times with five beeps. Remove the batteries and 
replace with a fresh set.

The mounting plate is placing tension on the 

torque blade.

See page 12.

The clutch is disengaged.

See page 12.

SecureScreen is enabled.

SecureScreen is an added-security feature that displays random digits 
before you enter a user code to unlock the door. This feature ensures 
that there are fingerprints on all digits so that codes cannot be identified 
by examining the touchscreen for fingerprints. 

If desired, this feature can be disabled by turning switch #4 to the off 
position.
