Set configuration

It is possible to change the configuration to change the amount of available users and time delay override users, enable dual mode, have 1 additional Master and or 1 additional Manager, and disallow manager management. Each configuration setting has a 2-digit ID.

The possible configurations are numerous, and are available to view in the full manufacturer instructions on the Pulse Pro page on our website.

Changing configuration removes all users, restores the Master and Manager codes to default, and removes all previously configured settings.

Set time and date

Whilst Pulse Pro does not have a timelock feature, time and date must be set to ensure accuracy of the audit data. The Pulse Pro keypad is fitted with a lithium-ion battery that keeps time and date in the event of a power loss, however, time and date should be set annually.

Reset

Permission: All with a reset box and access to the lock body

Instructions to reset the lock are only available to safe engineers. Please contact us for access.


Troubleshooting

  • A long beep sounds on a key press and the LED flashes every 10 seconds
    • The lock is in penalty caused by 4 entries of an incorrect code. Wait for the penalty period of 4 minutes to elapse.
  • Multiple beeps sound
    • The battery is low and should be replaced with a good quality 9v alkaline battery.
  • A key does not beep when pressed
    • The batteries may be depleted, see change battery.
    • A key may be faulty, undertake a keypad test if any keys are faulty, contact a safe engineer.
  • The safe or vault door does not open
    • If the lock system is otherwise operating normally, there is a mechanical fault. Contact a safe engineer.

Change battery

Low battery is indicated by a series of beep during opening. If there is no response from the keypad, the battery may be completely depleted.

The battery cover is located at the 6 o’clock position on the keypad. The video below for Pulse Basic shows the same physical procedure for changing batteries on a Pulse Pro.

Replace with a good quality 9v alkaline battery.
