Familiarize yourself with these steps before you start!
- Mount the Cabinet on the wall
- Mount the Control Box and Datalog-Keypad on the wall
- Insert Key Panels
Cabinet Installation Instructions
- Find a stud- align stud with at least one of the six drilled stud holes at the top of the cabinet. We strongly recommend attaching the cabinet to a stud, if possible.
- Stack box cabinet came in and box that control box came in on top of each other.
- This will give you a platform 42″ high.
- Place cabinet on top of these two boxes and a level on top of cabinet.
- Upon leveling the cabinet, use a pencil to mark your holes.
- When all holes are marked, use screws that penetrate at least 2 inches into stud and wall anchors that are capable of holding at least 50 lbs. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for wall anchors.
- Mount Cabinet- Lift the cabinet into place. Tighten all fasteners snug, but not too tight. Place your level on top of the cabinet and check repeatedly as you tighten all of the fasteners.
Door Alignment
Check the gap between door and door frame at the top, bottom and side. If gap
is not uniform all the way around, the cabinet will have to be shimmed to
compensate for the uneven wall surface.
Tips when shimming:
- Use metal or plastic-wood and rubber don’t hold their shape well.
- If gap at top is greater than gap at bottom, shim top of cabinet at the right hand corner.
- If gap at bottom is greater than gap at top, shim bottom of cabinet at the right hand corner.
Mount the Control Box
Hold the Control Box flush against the side of the cabinet. The Electronic
Lock port on the side of the cabinet must be aligned with the Electronic Lock
Cables from the Control Box. Before mounting the Control Box, gently feed the
Electronic Lock Cables through the Electronic Lock Cable port on the right
side of the Key Cabinet. Fasten the Control Box to the wall. Connect the Electronic Lock Cable to the Electronic Lock Connector
inside the Key Cabinet. Snap the cable into the retaining clips on the inside
of the cabinet to prevent contact with the Key Panels during operation. Don’t
forget about your UPS!!! (Uninterruptable Power Supply) Warranty will be
voided if a UPS is not used.
Mount the Key Panels
Each Panel is labeled with a letter in the lower outside corner, and each hook
has a number. The panels should be placed in alphabetical order from front to
back in the cabinet. Slip top panel mounting pin into hole on top key panel
mounting bracket. Raise the panel as far up as it will go and rotate the
bottom mounting pin into the corresponding hole at the bottom bracket. Lower
the panel into place. Repeat for all panels.
Preparing for set up
Scanning your key tags
Locate the bag/s of bar-coded key tags for scanning. When you scan them into
the system, the Datalog-Keypad will ask for the keys in numerical order
according to Apartment number. You do not need to keep track of the key tags
during this step. HandyTrac recommends attaching keys after all tags are
scanned into the system. NOTE: You may want to leave your old Key Tags on for
a couple of days until you fully understand the HandyTrac system.
STEP ONE: Connecting the Network Cable and Establishing Communications
- Using a flat-head screwdriver, remove the screw underneath the L-shaped cover located at the bottom of the Datalog-Keypad. Separating the L-shaped cover from the Datalog-Keypad will expose the network and power connections.
- Feed the free end of your network cable through the hole cut into the frame below the Datalog-Keypad.
- Plug the end of the network cable into the top jack on the left side of the Datalog-Keypad.
- A solid green light next to the network plug on the Datalog-Keypad will confirm an active connection.
- Plug the power cable for your new Datalog-Keypad into a UPS Battery Backup. Time/date should appear on the display, and you can test your connection by pressing the number 5 button on the Datalog-Keypad.
- When the number 5 button is pressed the Datalog-Keypad will prompt you to begin scanning your keys. This indicates that communication is established with the HandyTrac server.
IMPORTANT: If communications fail the Datalog-Keypad will display “COM
CHECK FAILED PLEASE CALL 888-458-9994”.
Pressing the “Enter” button on the Datalog-Keypad will return it to the
“time/date” display to troubleshoot communications. NOTE : It is
crucial to connect your HandyTrac system to a UPS (Uninterruptable Power
Supply) which serves as your battery backup and surge protection device.
Without a UPS, valuable information can be lost in the event of a power
outage. Warranty will be voided if a UPS is not used.
STEP TWO: Scanning Keys Into Datalog-Keypad
-
With the Datalog-Keypad ON, press the number 5 button. Then, scan a bar coded key tag for the Unit/Apartment number displayed (i.e. #101).
Note: When scanning Key Tags remember to take your time. Occasionally there is a pause between scanning a tag and then seeing information appear on the screen. If this happens and you have inadvertently scanned the same key tag twice, the Datalog-Keypad will display the “Duplicate Tag” error message. Set the tag aside and continue to scan the next Unit/Apartment listed on the display. You can then scan the “Duplicate Tags” in after scanning is completed by using the “return key” IN or 01 activity code. -
The Datalog-Keypad displays actual bar codenumber of the unit scanned (i.e. 7044) and tells you what hook to place it on (i.e. A5). It also tells you the next Unit/Apartment to scan (i.e. #102).
-
Continue this process until all key tags have been placed on their appropriate key hooks.
-
When scanning is completed, your Datalog-Keypad will display the message “DONE PRESS ENTER”.
-
Call HandyTrac for activation at 888-458-9994. During activation you will be given your User Name and Password for HandyTrac.com.
-
Your HandyTrac system is now ready for you to attach your keys to the bar coded key tags.
NOTE: The proper way to hang the keys is by the key tag’s center punch
hole. This will hold the keys correctly spaced and organized so that they are
easy to find during use. During the activation of your HandyTrac system you
will be issued a User Name and Password for HandyTrac.com. Once logged in, you are able to view various reports such as the
keys out report, reports by unit, employee and activity.
The Key Map shows the current
location of the keyset. This information needs to be kept confidential.
Remember to Keep it in a SAFE or other SECURE PLACE.
