Overview
Only the CM locks (the older locks) require a programming credential.
- You need this credential every time you program the locks.
- You use the credential while the serial cable is plugged into the lock and you are holding the HHD.
Currently the programming credential is a key fob. It is easier to use than a key card because of the location and size of the credential reader.
- You do not need the credential when collecting audit data from the locks.
Creating a new programming credential
Creating a new credential is not difficult but it is tedious and time-consuming. For this reason, treat the programming credential with care.
- Remove the back of the lock just like you do when replacing batteries.
- take care to keep track of the screws and, if it pops off, the spring.
- Be careful not to close the door to the room at this point. If you do, the only way to leave is to reassemble the lock.
- On the electronics board, you will see two small, silver buttons next to each other.
- The button on the left is labeled CLR (you have to look closely).
- The button on the right is labeled INI. This is the button you want.
- Press the INI button (the one on the right) three times.
- The red LED light on the front of the lock will light up and stay lit.
- Present the new programming credential to the reader.
- The green and red LED lights will alternately flash once the credential reader accepts the new credential.
- Be patient. Depending on how old the batteries are, it may take a moment or two for the credential reader to accept the new credential.
- Press and release the INI button one time.
- Test the programming credential with the lock by programming the lock.
- Replace the back to the lock.
- Repeat for the remaining 78 doors.
