OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Opening Safe for the First Time

SecuRam® Electronic Lock is shipped unlocked. Open the door by rotating the hub on the front of the safe clockwise and pulling the safe door open. If the hub seems stiff, insert a solid round wooden stick into one of the handle holes and turn the hub clockwise to open. Then install the handles, if applicable.

Installing the Battery

Rhino Metals highly recommend using a 9-volt Duracell® or Energizer® alkaline battery with a “Use Date” of at least four years in the future.

1. Unlock and pull the safe door open.
2. To remove the keypad, push straight up from the bottom of the keypad until it releases.
3. Carefully pull the keypad away from the safe to prevent damage to the wiring harness, revealing the battery cavity.
4. With the battery cavity accessible, install a new 9-volt battery into the terminals and tuck the battery and wiring harness back into the battery cavity.
5. Slide the keypad back down onto the shoulder screws. Be careful not to pinch the wiring harness on the screws.
6. With the door open, test the operation of the lock several times before closing and locking the safe.
   

Operating the Electronic Lock

1. To unlock the safe, enter the existing six-digit user code. Each key press is confirmed with an audio and visual (LED flash) signal.
2. The lock will indicate a valid user code entry with a double signal. Within four seconds, turn the handle or hand wheel clockwise to retract the locking bolts.
3. To lock the safe, turn the handle counter-clockwise until it stops to allow the locking boltsto extend. Always test to see if the lock has re-engaged by turning the handle or hand wheel in either rotational direction.

Wrong Try Penalty

Every invalid user code entry is indicated by a triple signal. Entering four consecutive invalid user codes results in a five-minute delay period. The LED will flash at fivesecond intervals. At the end of the delay period two or more incorrect user codes will restart an additional five- minute delay period.

During the delay period, pressing any key or removing the battery will extend the delay period for up to five-minutes.

Changing the User Code

SecuRam® Electronic Lock user codes are set at the factory as 1-2-3-4-5-6. For security purposes, immediately change the user code to a unique user code. The six-digit user code can be changed at any time. When creating a new user code, avoid using personal data such as birth dates, street numbers or phone numbers to keep valuables as secure as possible. Choose a personal six-digit user code that can  easily be remembered.

Always have the safe door open and locking bolts extended whenever changing the user code.

1. Press “0” six times.
2. Enter existing six-digit user code once.
3. Enter NEW six-digit user code twice.
4. Enter NEW user code once more to unlock the lock.
5. Test the lock several times with the NEW user code before closing and locking the safe.

If a mistake is made, wait 30 seconds and then repeat steps 1-4.

LOW BATTERY IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF ELECTRONIC LOCK ISSUES. Repeated beeping during opening or any other unfamiliar occurrences indicates that the battery is low and needs to be replaced immediately.

Lost User Code for Electronic Locks

Most safes with electronic locks have their override user code on file at Rhino Metals. The override user codes are tracked by model and serial number. If user code is lost, a $25.00 research fee will be assessed for restoring the user code. The request requires completing and providing proper documentation of ownership of the safe.

Rhino Metals cannot guarantee to recover a user code or responsibility for keeping the information. Please keep user code in a secure place outside the safe.

IMPORTANT FOR ELECTRONIC LOCKS

• DO NOT CLOSE THE SAFE DOOR IF THE USER CODE DOES NOT WORK. Refer to the Troubleshooting Guide or call Rhino Metals Tech Support for further assistance. Do not wait until the safe is locked out.
• Store the safe’s model, serial number, Owner’s Manual, and user code in a secure location outside the safe.
• When a user code is changed, always check to make sure the previous user code will no longer open the lock.
• Replace the battery annually to ensure reliable accessinto the safe.
• Always center the handle or hand wheel with the safe door to ensure that there is no pressure on the lock as it could cause a lockout.
• Consider purchasing an Extended Lock Warranty for extended services.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Safe Body

Use a clean and soft cloth (such as a microfiber cleaning cloth) that is slightly damp with water to clean the exterior of the safe. Take care around the edges of any logos or pin striping as any pressure could cause damage to them.

Cleaning Safe Locks and Handles

Locks and handles are coated to protect from rust or tarnish. Do not use any kind of metal polish or harsh cleaning products. Simply wipe off with a soft, damp cloth. Minor scratches may be touched up with a paint touch up kit available from Rhino Metals.

Electronic Lock Maintenance

While electronic locks do not need annual maintenance, changing out the battery once a year is highly recommended to ensure reliable access into the safe. Rhino Metals recommends using a 9-volt Duracell® or Energizer® alkaline battery with a “Use Date” of at least four years in the future.

TROUBLESHOOTING

with a new 9-volt Duracell® or Energizer® alkaline battery with a “Use Date” of at least four years in the future.
Any pressure on the side of the lock tang might prevent the lock from operating properly. If attempting to unlock the safe , rotate the handle counter-clockwise and keep a slight pressure on the handle while entering the user code. Once two beeps are heard, wait for two seconds, and then rotate hub or hand wheel clockwise to open. If attempting to lock the safe, turn the handle counter- clockwise until it stops, then press and hold the handle counter- clockwise for seven seconds before checking if it is locked.
Make sure the wiring harness is properly and tightly connected to the keypad with no pinched wires or bent connectors.
If the light on lock is randomly flashing lock may be in a delay period. Do not attempt to enter any user code for a period of fifteen minutes. If attempting to enter a user code while in a delay period, the delay will be extended. Changing or removing the battery on the keypad while in a delay period will also extend the delay. After waiting for the duration of the delay period and the light stops flashing, then enter the user code. If it is still flashing randomly, wait up to two hours before trying again.
**Lost User Code**| See Lost User Code instructions, depending on lock type. Rhino Metals cannot give user codes over the phone as there is no method to verify ownership of the safe.
