Passage Mode:
Non-software or software E4 / E5 Lock:
Passage mode allows the lock to remain in the last lock state it was used in. That
is, if the lock is locked, it will remain so until a user unlocks it, then it will remain
unlocked until a user re-locks the lock. This lock/unlock/lock/unlock condition will
continue as long as the Lock is in a ‘Passage’ mode. Programmed auto lock or unlock
times can be applied while in Passage mode if desired. The effect on the lock state is the
same as if a user key had been used to lock or unlock the E4 / E5. Passage mode can be
applied, defeated, or removed by changes in mode via customer lock programming such
as time schedules and ‘lock out’ keys to mention a few. (
Important note
: When
manually programmed via the keypad, the lock
MUST
exit passage mode for at least 1
minute around midnight to allow for the change of day. This limitation does not exist for
locks programmed via PC software)
Storehouse Mode:
Non-software use E4 / E5:
This is commonly also called a ‘Lock-back’ mode, and is the lock default mode.
When in Storehouse mode, a valid unlock command, regardless of if it is from a user key
code, iButton, or a programmed scheduled auto-unlock command, the lock will unlock,
then automatically relock itself in 5 seconds. This provides additional security in that no
user can forget to relock the door the lock is on. This unlock/auto-relock action will
continue as long as the E4 / E5 remains in Storehouse mode. (The 5 second time delay
between the unlock/auto-relock action is user adjustable on the software version E4 / E5
using 'function code 61' but is
not
user adjustable on the non-software E5.)
Lockout Mode:
Non-software use E4 / E5:
Lockout mode ‘freezes’ the E4 / E5 in whatever the current lock status is. If the
lock is currently locked, in lockout mode then it will remain locked regardless of normal
program changes or user code key/iButton use. Similarly, if the lock is currently
unlocked, in lockout mode it will remain unlocked regardless of normal program changes
or regular user keypad code / iButton use. This status will continue until lockout mode is
disabled.
