• As soon as “——–“shows on screen, open the box according to section 2.

Should you not have an external AA battery feed to hand that ARREGUI provides, you can use any external lithium battery with a micro USB connector.

INDICATORS OF THE STATE OF THE BATTERY

Each time the key is tapped to go ahead with using the safe, the electronic system checks the state of the batteries. If the batteries are at a high level, the box will function normally. If on the other hand the batteries are low, the box will display the “LO-BAT” message on screen. The box is designed to be able to carry out several openings even when the batteries are low, but even so ARREGUI recommends changing the batteries as soon as the box indicates it is necessary.
If you wish to find out the state of the batteries, you may tap the enter key with the box switched off; the system will carry out checks on the condition of the batteries, and will display the “HI-BAT” sign if the battery levels are normal, and “LO-BAT” if it is low.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

Open the box in accordance with Section 2 or Section 5, and take off the lid of the battery carrier stored on the inside of the door. Replace the installed batteries with 4 new alkaline Batteries, of type 4 1,5V (AA).

MAINTENANCE

Check the condition of the battery compartment on a regular basis (every 6 months) to identify any possible signs of rust, sulphation, etc.
Grease/oil any mechanical moving parts, such as locks and bolts.

INSTALLATION OF PLUS C SAFES

Safe embedding

• Proper and correct installation of the safe to be embedded is essential for the security of the product.
• Before embedding, the safe’s correct functioning must be checked by carrying out door opening and closing tests (see the set of operating instructions).
• The safe must be installed with the door opening from left to right (except for left-sided opening models). It must never be installed turned around, or be placed on the floor. The guarantee cover is invalid if these conditions are not complied with.
• The safe must be installed maintaining a 2-cm gap towards the inside of the wall in which it is being installed..

1. It is advisable to position the safe in places where access with large size tools such as picks, hammers, cudgels and spikes etc., but where access to the door is easy for the user.

2. Choose a Wall at least 10 cm thicker than the depth of the safe, and check that the Plus C range has a multi-positional telescopic body Avoid walls with condensation or moisture problems in order to prevent damage to the locking system mechanisms.

3. Drill a bore hole on the chosen Wall of 15cm greater in width and height than the acquired safe’s dimensions, and to a depth 7cm greater than the depth of the safe.

4. Provide suitable protection to the safe door area using plastic sheeting to avoid moisture and mortar damage to the locking system areas.

5. A lath with a grid size of 50 x 50 mm should be placed around the four side faces and the rear face using diameter 8 rods. There should be a 3-cm gap to the walls.

6. Produce a wooden panel in the form of shuttering to cover the front part, leaving a useful space for the application of the mortar required to fill the gap left.

7. Fill up the embedding area with high-resistance cement composed of type CEM II A-LL 42.5R according to BS (British Standards) UNE EN 197-1, using sand and water, carefully filling and compacting the mortar evenly over the area without leaving unfilled areas. The use of quick-try cement is advised.

8. Once the applied mortar has set and hardened, leave the door open for 5 days to get rid of residual moisture from the casing. Finish off the wall with a coat of plaster or other coverings. Take special care to avoid contamination with any residual element or dirt, etc., during casing procedures, mortar filling, plastering, painting or the application of other types of final finishes by ensuring these do not get into door surround areas, in key holes, keypads or other elements and locking systems (keypads, external battery connections…)
