TownSteel 5990 RF Residential Series Programming
Product Information
The TownSteel 5990 RF Residential Series lock is a versatile lock that can be operated in three ways:
- By a 6-10 digit PIN code
- By an RFID card/FOB
- Through a smartphone APP via Wi-Fi
The lock can be used without the APP and can be operated using PIN codes and RFID credentials. However, the APP provides access to the WiFi features. The lock and APP require a Gateway to be used to interface between the lock- router-cloud-smartphone. The APP is called TSE Home and is available for both Android and IOS. Before programming anything with the APP, it is recommended to change the Master Code to avoid any unauthorized entry or operation of the lock. The new Master Code will be your administrator password (do not share). In order to use the APP, you must pair (connect) with the Gateway. When you are ready to pair with the Gateway, plug the Gateway into a wall socket within range of your Wi-Fi router and a secure place not likely to be unplugged. The Gateway and Smartphone must be on the same Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi Gateway is not compatible with 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks. The lock can have a maximum of 400 User Codes (interchangeable with Keycards/Fobs) and a maximum of 400 Keycards/Fobs (interchangeable with User Codes). Standard MiFare Keycards/Fobs can be programmed into the lock.

GENERAL LOCK INFORMATION FOR THE WiFi FUNCTION
The 5000-RF Series lock is a versatile lock- it can be operated by a 6-10
digit PIN code, RFID card/FOB or through your smartphone APP via Wi-Fi. The
APP is called TSE Home- it is available for Android and IOS. The lock is

Residential Function Information – IMPORTANT
Residential Function Default Mode: (Door Normally Locked – Factory Default) This residential function allows users to exit their premises, closing the door behind them and the lock will remain unlocked until it is physically, consciously relocked, by extending the deadbolt. The lock will typically be used for residential applications such as residential homes, multi-family and apartment units. To unlock the lock the user must present a valid code, RFID keycard or mobile credential to unlock and then rotate the lever to retract both bolts. Once the deadbolt is retracted, the lock will remain in passage mode for 10 minutes. After this time, the lock will automatically lock. The User can extend the deadbolt using the inside thumb turn and once the deadbolt is extended it will automatically lock the lockset. The deadbolt can also be extended by lifting the outside or inside lever. When the user exits, the deadbolt will be retracted and automatically go into passage mode and allow access without the need for a valid code. The residential function will remain active until the deadbolt is extended or 10 minutes transpire.
Definitions
- Credential: The lock requires a valid credential to operate. A credential can be a 6-10 digit Master Code, User Code, or Keycard/Fob.
- LED Indicator: The LED indicators are located around the keypad of the lock. Lock flashes green LED and/or red LED dependent on inputs. While unlocking, a red LED followed by a green LED means the lock is not programmed and can be unlocked with any 6-10 digit code or Keycard/Fobs.
- Master Code: The Master Code programs all User Codes, Keycards/Fobs (Credentials), and System Settings. The Factory Default Setting’s Master Code is 123456. This must be changed before programming the lock. Each lock has one Master Code. Master Code cannot be deleted.
- User Code: User Codes are used to operate the lock. User Codes are programmed by the Master Code. The lock can have a maximum of 400 User Codes (interchangeable with Keycards/Fobs).
- User Keycard/Fob: Keycards or Fobs can be used to operate the lock. Master Code is used to program User Keycards/Fobs. Swipe the touch keypad with a Keycard/Fob to operate the lock. The lock can have a maximum of 400 Keycards/Fobs (interchangeable with User Codes). Standard MiFare Keycards/Fobs can be programmed into the lock.
- Passage Mode: When a passage credential is entered the lock will remain unlocked until the Master Code or the Passage Credential is re-entered.
- Dual Verification Mode: Two valid credentials are needed to unlock the door.
- Residential Function: This passage mode enabled by the residential function offers convenience for those needing to make several trips in and out of a unit, room or building. Lock will automatically lock 10 minutes after the passage mode is initiated.
- Sound: Keypad sound is enabled by Factory Default Settings. Disabling the sound only affects general operation, not during programming of the lock. During programming, lock will temporarily re-enable sound.

- This lock features anti-pry cryptographic functions. Users can add random digits before and/or after a valid code. Enter a valid code in the following method: “XXX – CODE – XXX” (15 random digits are the limit), followed by pound (#). Note: due to this feature- do not program codes of different lengths that have a sequential string of 6 digits that are the same.
- Replacing batteries does not change existing settings.
The symbols and are used in this programming guide to representing the audio and visual cues the lock uses to show successful progression during the programming process.
