TownSteel e-Genius 2990 Series Interconnect Lock
Definitions
- Code Length: Length of Master Code defines the length of all other codes. Length of codes can be 4, 5, or 6 digits. Master Code and User Codes must be the same length.
- LED Indicator: LED indicators are located at the top outside of the lock. Lock flashes both green and red LED dependent on user inputs.
- Master Code: Code used to program and unlock the lock. Factory Default Setting Master Code is 12345 – this must be changed before programming the lock. Multiple locks can have same Master Code.
- Manager Code: A single lock can have a maximum of 5 Manager Codes. Manager Codes can program User Codes under the same group. Manager Codes can be programmed using function 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55.
- User ID: Two-digit Identification numbers for User Codes. Each User Code must have a User ID (00-99).
- User Code: Codes used to unlock the lock. User Codes are programmed by the Master or Manager Code. Lock can have a maximum of 100 User Codes. Function 02 programs User IDs and their User Codes.
- Service Code (One-time User Code): Code that allows one-time entry per code. Service Code is automatically deleted after it has been used. Lock can have a maximum of 5 Service Codes simultaneously active.
- Passage Mode: Mode that keeps the lock unlocked until it is disabled. Factory Default Setting has this mode disabled. Function 40 enables Passage Mode and Function 41 disables Passage Mode
- Pass Time: Period that a lock stays in unlocked position after a valid code is entered. Factory Default Setting Pass Time is 5 seconds. Function 42 adjusts Pass Time from 2 to 20 seconds.
- Sound: Keypad sound is enabled by Default Factory Setting. Disabling the sound affects general operation and programming of the lock. Function 73 disables sound and Function 71 enables Sound.
- Lock Status Indicator: LED indicator on lock to show whether it is locked (flashing red LED) or unlocked (flashing green LED). Function 91 enables or disables the lock status indicator.
- Penalty Time (Keypad Anti-Tamper Lockout Time): Period that a lock stays in locked position after it reaches its max number of incorrect code entries. During Penalty Time, no other codes will be accepted. Factory Default Settings’ Penalty Time is 60 seconds after 3 invalid tries. Function 92 adjusts Penalty Time from 0 (disabled) to 90 seconds after 0 (disabled) to 9 tries. This is used to prevent unauthorized entry.
- Group Function: A group is defined by the first and last location of User ID’s programmed into a Manager Code. Manager Code programs User Codes under the same group. Group Function may be enabled or disabled by Master Code. Manager Code may program all User Codes if Group Function is disabled.
Factory Default Settings
- Master Code: 12345
- Passage Mode: Disabled
- Pass Time: 5 seconds
- Sound: Enabled
- Lock Status Indicator: Enabled
- Penalty Time (Keypad Anti-Tamper Lockout Time): 60 seconds after 3 Invalid Code Entries
Important Notes
- Master Code must be changed from Factory Default Setting before programming any other codes.
- Manufacturer assumes no liability, direct or indirect, due to failure to change Master Code.
- Pressing the Star (✴) key will cancel any on-going program sequence or code input.
- Pressing the Pound (#) key starts programming.
- Programming can be done only if the lock is locked unless in passage mode.
- Replacing batteries does not change existing settings.
- During programming, green LED indicator indicates success and the red LED indicator indicates failure.
- One green LED flash and 2 short beeps occurs after each program sequence. (●)
- Two green LED flashes and 2 beeps (one short beep and one long beep) occur at the end of each successful program sequence (●●).
- One red LED flash and 1 long beep indicates failure during program sequence.
- The red LED will flash 0.5 second (with one long beep) after an invalid code is entered.
- It is important to maintain track of user IDs and Codes used in the system to use certain features.
- The length of the Master Code defines the length of all other codes. The length of the Master Code cannot be changed to other lengths unless factory default settings are restored (lock is reset).
Disclaimer – The Codes used in the following examples are not recommended for actual valid codes. Accepted protocol should be followed for secure codes. Repeated strings of numbers are not secure.
Residential Function Information – IMPORTANT
Residential Function Default Mode: (Door Normally Locked – Factory Default)
The residential function is designed to leave the lock in passage mode if the
deadbolt is retracted. The lock will typically be used for residential
application from others such as homes and apartment units.
To unlock the lock the user must use a valid code and 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
instantaneously lock the lock. The deadbolt can also be extended by lifting
the outside or inside lever. When the user exits, the deadbolt will be
retracted and instantaneously 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.
Residential Function Passage Mode: (Door Normally unlocked – Programmable
through keypad) Passage Mode
Configuring the lock into passage mode will initially provide a normally
unlocked (passage mode) state if the deadbolt is retracted. Once inside, the
user extends the deadbolt using the inside thumb turn and instantaneously
locks 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
instantaneously 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, there is no timer to automatically lock like in the default mode.
