Product Information

Features
Thank you for purchasing the Bauer NE. We have developed the Bauer NE with the idea to increase your convenience and security. We are a family-owned company with over 50 years of service in the locking hardware industry, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve you. Please review and follow the Installation, Programming, and Operating Instructions to ensure proper function.

• The first self-contained electronic RV latch with Capacitive Touch Technology.
• An integral touchpad to the latch controls the deadbolt.
• Powered by 4 AA batteries.
• Retrofit-able in most RV entry doors and easy to install.
• Programmable with a 4-digit PIN number.
• The large buttons are easy to see and use.
• Proximity sensing, which illuminates the buttons.
• An Intelligent Keyless Entry System, which knows the position of the deadbolt and indicates low battery strength, as well as provides audible feedback to successful locking and unlocking functions.
• The key will always be able to operate the paddle or deadbolt lock in case the user forgets the code or the battery is dead.

Operation

The Bauer NE is a 4 touchpad button programmable deadbolt lock (Fig. 1). The 4 buttons are labeled “1|2”, “3|4”, “5|6”, “7|8”. The button labeled “1|2” is the same button whether the number 1 or 2 is desired. Please note this handle uses Touch Technology. The buttons are activated by Touch and do not require pressing. Touch the button and lift your finger from the button for proper code entry. The following steps show how to operate the Bauer Lock:

1.  Touch the area next to the buttons to “Wake Up” the lock (Fig. 1B).
2. The buttons will illuminate when the lock is “awake” and will be ready to accept the code.
3. The factory default code is 3, 7, 1, 5 and is followed by the Enter button (Fig. 1C).
4. Touch and hold the 3/4 button (Fig. 1A) and Enter button (Fig. 1C) for 2 seconds. The lock will beep 3
   times to accept a new code. Enter a 4-digit code followed by the Enter button (Fig. 1C). The lock will beep 4 times to indicate a new code acceptance. This is now your new code.

NOTE: Enter your Personal Code upon installation of lock (Step 4) to prevent inadvertent programming.
NOTE: The touchpad only activates the Dead Bolt. The Paddle Lock is Master Keyed for Dealer and Service Center use. The DeadBolt provides Maximum Security.

Calibration and Programming

Preset Factory Code
The Bauer NE has a factory-set code of 3,7,1,5 followed by the Enter button. The button with the or the “*” is the Enter button and is required to be touched after the code is entered. The factory code resets every time the batteries are removed for at least 10 seconds.

Programming New Code
To set a new code, touch and hold the “3|4” button and the Enter Buttons for 2 seconds. The Bauer NE will provide three short beeps, indicating it is ready to accept a new code. Enter the new 4 digit code followed by the “*”. The Bauer NE will provide four short beeps to indicate new code acceptance. This new code will now activate the lock.
To reset the code, remove the batteries for at least 10 seconds. Re-install the batteries and follow the steps to Programming New Code.

Maintenance

• Install fresh batteries as necessary. The Bauer NE is designed to function for months of normal usage with fresh, high-quality AA batteries. Battery life is highly dependent upon battery quality, usage, and environment (temperature).
• Make sure there are no obstructions in the door frame to prevent Dead Bolt extension.
• Do not wash with a power washer or high-pressure cleaner. The Bauer NE is designed to resist water intrusion to protect its electrical components from normal water encounters such as rain.
• The Bauer NE uses Touch Technology. The buttons are activated by touching not pressing.
• Remove batteries when storing or not using this lock for extended periods of time.

Installation

Bauer NE Installation
The following steps are graphically shown on the enclosed Bauer NE Installation schematic.

1. Remove old lock.
2. Clean cut-out. Remove any dirt, loose material, etc.
3. Install outside housing (the portion that includes the TouchPad) with the deadbolt in the unlocked position (Fig. 2A).
4. Attach the (2) 8×32 screws (Fig. 2B) into the portion of the handle that has the Plunger and Dead Bolt. This is on the edge (Fig. 2C) of the door.
5. Plug wire from Inside Plate Assembly (Fig. 2D) into the receptacle (Fig. 2E) on the housing. Make sure to align the tab on the plug properly with the slot on the receptacle. The plug should make a slight click when properly engaged.
6.  Tuck Battery Wires into the pocket (Fig. 2F) next to Stamped Steel Plate. Do not allow Battery Wires to get between Inside Plate Assembly and Stamped Steel Plate, as it will cause the motor to bind.
7. Align the Dead Bolt Knob in the unlocked position. The Red Dots on the Dead Bolt Knob and the Inside Plate Assembly should be aligned to indicate the unlocked position of the Dead Bolt. Slide Dead Bolt Knob over D-Stem and align the 4 screw bosses on the housing with the attaching holes on the Inside Plate Assembly. When Inside Plate Assembly is in position with Housing, install the (4) 8×32 Screws. Secure but do not over tighten screws (Fig. 2G).

Battery Installation

The Bauer NE uses 4 AA batteries for operation. We do not recommend zinc- carbon batteries for this application. Batteries are not included.

NOTE: Fresh batteries should be installed as necessary. Battery Life is highly dependent upon battery quality, usage, and environment (temperature). Remove batteries if the lock will not be used for extended periods of time.

The following steps are shown on the enclosed Battery Installation diagram:

1. Remove (2) 4×40 screws (Fig. 3A) from Battery Compartment Lid. These screws are very small so please take care in removal and installation. A magnetic tip #0 point Phillips Screwdriver is recommended.
2. Install the AA batteries (Fig. 3B) in accordance with the orientation shown in the Battery Compartment(Fig. 3C). The batteries will fit tightly.
3. Install Battery Compartment Lid (Fig. 3D) by aligning the (3) tabs on the lid with the (3) slots (Fig. 3E) on the Inside Plate Assembly. These tabs act as a hinge for closing the Battery Compartment Lid.
4. Install the (2) 4×40 screws (Fig. 3A) back to attach the Battery Compartment Lid to the Inside Plate Assembly.
   

Battery Plug Instructions
The following image shows a detailed view of the plug and receptacle for plugging the inside plate assembly into the receptacle on the Bauer housing.

1.  Align tab (Fig. 4A) with a small, square slot in receptacle (Fig. 4B).
2. With plug aligned, insert into the receptacle until a click is heard.

Bauer NE Fault Logic

NOTE: The lock will cycle up to 10 more times once the low battery indication occurs. After this, the final electric function in a low battery condition will be unlocked and not locked until the batteries have been replaced. Please note that if the deadbolt is in the locked position and the batteries die the deadbolt will remain locked. The key will always be able to activate the deadbolt lock.
