2 The Story Vindicator products have played a role in protecting critical assets from theft or sabotage since the founding of the Vindicator Corporation in When Mas-Hamilton purchased the Vindicator Corporation in 1997, the addition of Vindicator s multiple-door control systems to Mas-Hamilton s product offerings complimented an already extensive line of high security container locking devices. Mas-Hamilton products now protect everything from business assets in the banking, retail, and food service industries to the most valuable secrets of governments and the military. Our systems also protect against burglary and embezzlement, improving personnel safety by reducing the threat of armed robbery. Mas-Hamilton security systems (which have received Underwriter Laboratory s highest level of certification for electronic locks) have evolved through time and continue to do so, using the most advanced electronics and software technologies to provide extreme reliability under the most demanding circumstances.

6 BEFORE YOU START Installing a MicroLock 40 involves several steps. You can do most of the mechanical work in any order you please. But electrical hookup and configuration must be done in the order described here. By following the Installation Instructions in this manual, you can get a MicroLock 40 installation installed and secure. When starting the system, all MicroLock 40s will require you to perform Steps 1 5. After Step 5, you can skip any step that does not apply. To make the installation fit the needs of its owner, you may have to perform some procedures shown in the Administration section of this guide. You do not need to perform administrative procedures in the order they are shown in the manual. Figure 1 shows all the basic components of the MicroLock 40. Only one Solenoid Lock is shown in this figure, though the MicroLock 40 can operate up to four. Figure 1. Components of the Vindicator MicroLock Installer s and Administrator s Guide 1

7 Two different power sources are available for the MicroLock 40. An AC Adaptor, P/N , is available from Mas-Hamilton for operating a MicroLock 40 using AC current. (Power surge protection is recommended when the AC Adaptor is used.) A second option is a battery box, which uses six C-size batteries to power the lock. Caution is required when installing the batteries to ensure that the lock will be fully operational. Figure 2. Install Batteries with Caution 2 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

8 Installation Section Mechanical Installation The mechanical installation for the Front Panel is shown in Figure 3. The cable that runs from the Front Panel to the rest of the safe passes through a large hole in the back of the mounting box, and through the old dial hole in the safe door. Figure 3. Front Panel Installation An optional mounting wedge is available that permits installation so that the Front Panel is tilted upward for improved viewing. If used, first mount the wedge to the front of the safe, then screw the mounting box to the wedge. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 3

9 Installing the Front Panel 1. Open the safe, remove the back cover, and take off the old lock and dial. 2. Attach the mounting box to the safe door as shown in Figure x 1 / 4 " truss head screws are provided. 3. If a cable is not already attached to the Front Panel, connect it as shown in Figure 3. Note that the cable connects only one way. The pins are slightly off-center and the connector is keyed so that it will only fit the receptacle one way. Don t force it. Lock Connector Black wire Enlarged view of Front Panel/Lock Cable and } Connector Figure 4. Connecting the Front Panel Cable 4. Pass the other end of the cable through the hole in the mounting box and on through the hole in the safe door. 5. Attach the Front Panel to the mounting box using the provided x 3 / 8 " socket head cap screws. 6. Mount the battery box inside the safe. Do not connect cables to any Solenoid Lock mechanism at this time. 4 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

10 Installing Solenoid Locks The solenoid locks for the MicroLock 40 must be attached to the inside of the safe door(s) using three or four (depending on bolt type) 1/4-20 screws provided with each solenoid lock. Two screw holes are provided on the back of each Spring Bolt or Dead Bolt version of the Solenoid Lock so that relocking mechanisms can be attached. The Slide Bolt variation of the Solenoid Lock comes with an adapter plate used for attaching relocking mechanisms. Do NOT connect cables at this time. Cables must be connected in the correct order when starting the MicroLock 40 system for the first time. Follow the instructions in the section entitled "Starting the System". About Solenoid Locks The MicroLock 40 can operate up to 4 doors. Each door is controlled by an electrically operated Solenoid Lock. There is a microprocessor inside each Solenoid Lock, which must be enabled separately. Solenoid Locks are available with a Slide Bolt, as well as Dead Bolts, and Spring Bolts. The different types of bolts are shown in the following figure. Slide Bolt Dead Bolt Spring Bolt Figure 5. Bolt Variations Installer s and Administrator s Guide 5

11 Enabling Order You can mechanically install Solenoid Locks in any order, but the order in which you enable them is significant it determines that lock s Door Number, which is important for safes with both inner and outer doors. If you are installing such a safe, please read Behind Door on page 26 before you start. Lock Ids Each MicroLock 40 installation should be assigned a unique identification number, or Lock ID. All the MicroLock components within a single safe share the same Lock ID. Since components with different Lock IDs cannot work together, the Lock ID is rarely changed after the lock is installed and operational. IMPORTANT The Lock ID cannot be discovered using the Front Panel. Moreover, service personnel must know it in order to complete most service procedures. For these reasons, it is essential that someone keep reliable and secure records of Lock IDs. CRITICALLY IMPORTANT If you ever need to replace your lock front panel, the lock ID number will be needed. Failing to keep a record of this number could mean your safe would have to be drilled. This could cost you hundreds of dollars. 6 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

12 Starting the System Once you ve completed the mechanical installation you enable the MicroLock system components. By enabling we mean turning them on, providing it with basic operating data, and introducing the Front Panel to the Solenoid Lock(s) in the safe. Here s how you do it. Shipping Behavior When the MicroLock 40 is shipped from the factory, it operates in shipping mode. In shipping mode, the lock is not secure; in shipping mode anyone can open the safe using any ML40 key and the factory combination ; anyone can use any ML40 key to log in using the factory combination, and anyone logged in can perform any configuration function. Once you enroll the Administrator Key, the lock begins operating normally and is secure, i.e., only enrolled keys can open doors, log in, etc. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 7

13 Step 1. Power Up the Front Panel Slide open the door on the underside of the Front Panel. Attach a 9-Volt battery to the battery contacts on the bottom edge of the Front Panel as shown in Figure 6. When the flickering pattern in the middle of the screen stops moving, proceed to Step 2. Figure 6. Connecting an Auxiliary Battery 8 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

14 Step 2. Enter Basic Operating Data 1. Begin by logging in. To log in: a. Enter your combination. Since the lock is operating in shipping mode now, use the Factory Combination. b. Press your key to the key reader and wait for the double-beep. This is called presenting your key. The opening screen appears. c. Press (SEL). Ignore the messages telling you that the lock is not secure etc. 2. When the message disappears, choose Command 30 and Set the Clock. (By choose Command 30 we mean that you press the and/or keys until Command 30 appears on the screen, or that you enter the number 30 at the keypad.) When the clock is right, press (SEL). Note that the clock uses 24-hour format time. In this format 9 AM is expressed as 0900, 3:30 PM as Set the day of the week as well. Note Do not set the clock to the correct value for Daylight Savings. Set it as if Daylight Savings were not in effect. Then enable the Daylight Savings option. See page 29 for more information on this topic. 3. Choose Command 41 and enter the Company Code. The Company Code is already stored in your key. You must enter exactly the same code the Front Panel will not enroll a key that has the wrong company code. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 9

15 Step 3. Enable Door No. 1 s Solenoid Lock The boltworks for each of the safe s doors are prevented from operating by a Solenoid Lock. Inside each Solenoid Lock is another small computer that must be enabled by the Front Panel. The enabling process tells the Front Panel which Solenoid Lock belongs to which door, so you should install Solenoid Locks and enable them in the order in which the doors are numbered. To enable Door #1 s Solenoid Lock: 1. Connect Door #1 s Solenoid Lock to the Front Panel. 2. Log in. 3. Choose Command 51 Enable Solenoid Lock. When the double beep sounds, the Solenoid Lock is enabled. If you do not have the Solenoid Lock correctly wired, the display says Lock Not Responding. If the display says Too many devices, you have connected more than one Solenoid. Disconnect all but Door #1 s Solenoid Lock and try again. 4. If this is the only Solenoid Lock that will be used on the safe, choose Command 40 and enter the Lock ID. If there are multiple Solenoid Locks on the safe, do this only once, after all the Solenoid Locks have been enabled. Note: When you are setting the Lock ID, you will be asked for the current ID. The lock is shipped from the factory with an ID of 1 (one). If the Solenoid Lock has been used before, you ll have to know its old ID. 5. Test the Solenoid Lock by opening Door #1. To do this, enter the Factory Combination and present a key; then press 1 (one) to activate the Solenoid Lock on Door #1. When the Access Granted message appears, ensure that the 10 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

16 Solenoid Lock mechanism releases and that you can move the bolt works as necessary. Step 4. Enable Remaining Solenoid Locks Additional Solenoid Lock mechanisms are wired in series. A hookup diagram, showing the maximum number of Solenoid Locks is shown in Figure 6. The Front Panel can enable only one unknown device at a time. Do not wire all the Solenoid Locks and then try to enable them it won t work. Instead, connect one Solenoid Lock and then issue the appropriate Enable Lock Command (these commands are listed on the next page). Repeat until all Solenoid Locks are enabled. When all the Solenoid Locks are enabled, choose Command 40 and enter the Lock ID number (the Current ID of new solenoid locks is 1 (one)). This step records the ID into all of the Solenoid Locks. Figure 7. Hookup Diagram for Four Solenoid Locks Installer s and Administrator s Guide 11

17 Solenoid Lock Connections and Enable Commands Connections Solenoid Lock #2 connects to Solenoid Lock #1, Solenoid Lock #3 connects to Solenoid Lock #2, and Solenoid Lock #4 connects to Solenoid Lock #3. Commands To Enable Lock #2, use Command 52. To Enable Lock #3, use Command 53. To Enable Lock #4, use Command 54. Testing Test each Solenoid Lock for proper operation before you close its door. See the last instruction under Step 3 for the procedure. 12 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

18 Step 5. Enroll the Administrator Key Enrolling an Administrator Key makes the system secure. 1. Log in using the Administrator Key (a key type 12). Ignore the message telling you that the lock is not secure etc. When the message disappears 2. Choose Command 20, Enroll key. 3. Present the Administrator Key. 4. Enter the administrator s name and user id. All names must be at least 3 characters long. User id s cannot be 0 (zero). For instructions on entering characters, see Entering an Employee s Name on page Use Command 00 to set the combination. Combinations must be at least 6 digits long. Combinations cannot be zero(s). Your Vindicator MicroLock is now started and secure. From now on, only enrolled keys will be able to log in or to open the safe. 6. Unlock each of the Solenoid Locks you have installed. Verify that they operate correctly. Note: If you enroll the Administrator key, but do not set its combination, it retains the factory default combination:. If you are using an old key, use the old combination. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 13

19 Step 6. Connect the Power Source Once you have the Front Panel started and the Solenoid Lock(s) enabled, you can connect the Power Source. First, remove the 9-Volt battery from the Front Panel. Connect the AC Adaptor (P/N ) to the last Solenoid Lock or if using the Battery Box, install six C-Size cells in the box and then connect the cable from the Battery Box to the last Solenoid Lock in the chain. Hookup is shown in Figure 6. Mas-Hamilton recommends the use of Eveready Energizer batteries. Step 7. Install Door Position Sensors Wires for Door Position Sensors exit the solenoid through a small slot located near the connectors for the battery box and the Front Panel. To install a door position sensor, cut the wire loop and connect it to the door position sensor switch as shown here. Note that the door position sensor switch must be of the normally closed (NC) variety. Slide Bolt Door Position Sensor Switch (Normally Closed) Figure 8. Installing the Door Position Sensor 14 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

20 Step 8. Enable the Optional Alarm Panel Interface The Front Panel, all Solenoid Lock(s), and the power source (AC Adaptor or Battery Box) should be connected and operational before you enable the optional Alarm Panel Interface. Note: If the AC Adaptor is used as the power source when using the Alarm Panel Interface, the Battery Box is also required in order to hold the Alarm Panel Interface Circuit Board in place. Power surge protection is also recommended. If you do not enable the Alarm Panel Interface, the Front Panel assumes that it does not exist. 1. Log in using the administrator s combination and the Administrator Key. 2. Choose Command 50 to enable the Alarm Panel interface. Note: If you do not have the interface hooked up correctly, the display says Alarm Interface Not Responding. 3. The lock beeps twice and says Done. The Alarm Interface is enabled. Hooking up the Alarm Panel The optional Alarm Panel interface is a small printed circuit board that replaces the original board located inside the Battery Box. Alarm panels are connected to the board as shown below. Figure 9. Alarm Panel Interface PCB Installer s and Administrator s Guide 15

21 Lockdown Input The lockdown input (see Figure 8) provides a means whereby an alarm panel, or other device, can secure the safe and prevent its being opened by anyone. The Lockdown input is rated at 5 to mamp, maximum. The input terminals are not sensitive to polarity. A signal at either pole signals the lock to go into lockdown. The lock will not open while this signal is present. Holdup Signals The Holdup connection (see Figure 8) sends a signal to the Alarm Panel when someone enters a Holdup Combination at the Front Panel. The alarm panel is responsible for notifying authorities that a user is under duress. The Holdup output is a relay-type connection rated for 40 2 Amp, max. 16 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

22 Step 9. Final Test Checklist CRITICALLY IMPORTANT Verify that everything is operating correctly before you close the safe. Enter the Administrator Key combination, present the key, and choose the door you are testing. The Front Panel should display Access grantethe Solenoid Lock should release; i.e., you should be able to push the slide bolt into the box. Verify that the Administrator Key can also log in. If you have installed a door position sensor test it as follows. 1. Activate the door sensor by opening the door sensor circuit. The lock should beep 3 times, and the 3rd line of the display should say Close Door #. 2. Close the door position circuit. 3. Press the ESC key. The screen should not indicate that a door should be closed. If you installed the Alarm Panel Interface, test it as follows: 1. Connect a 9 V battery across the Lockdown inputs. Polarity doesn t matter on this input. 2. Try to enter a combination. The display should read Lockdown. Solenoid Locks should not be activated. 3. Disconnect the battery from the Lockdown inputs. 4. Verify that the Solenoid Lock mechanism now operates correctly. Verify that everything is operating correctly before you close the safe, or you may lock yourself out of the safe and have to drill to get in. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 17

23 Test the holdup alarm (Note: holdup combinations only work on installations with Alarm Panels. Test as follows: 1. Compute your holdup combination by adding (or subtracting) 1 to (or from) the last digit of your regular combination. Example If your regular combination is your holdup combination is or 2. Enter your holdup combination and present your key. 3. The alarm panel should be activated. If you are testing the equipment before installing it, test the Holdup Alarm as follows. a. Connect an ohmmeter across the terminals labeled NO and C or across NC and C on the Alarm Panel Interface Board. b. Enter any valid holdup combination. c. You should observe a momentary short across terminals NO and C or a momentary open across terminals NC and C. 18 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

24 Connecting Printers and Computers The MicroLock 40 can transmit audit reports to a printer, or to a PC. See your PC s Help file for the Terminal, for instructions on setting up the PC to receive a report. The report is sent in ASCII format. The connector on the MicroLock 40 is a telephonestyle connector which provides serial output at 9600 Baud using XON/XOFF protocol, No Parity, 8 Data Bits, 1 Stop Bit (N81). A sliding door covers a hole in the bottom of the mounting box. Slide this door open to allow access to the connector that is located on the bottom edge of the Front Panel. The arrangement is shown here. Figure 10. External Connectors A drawing showing how to connect the MicroLock s Front Panel to a PC is shown on the following page. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 19

25 Communications Requirements If you want to use a laptop or PC for storing reports, it must have a serial port which is configured to operate at 9600 Baud using XON/XOFF protocol. The same goes for the printer. If you must use a printer with a parallel port, you will have to purchase a serial-to-parallel converter. Mas-Hamilton sells the Model SPC converter (P/N ) for this purpose. Connect the computer as shown here. Figure 11. Computer Hookup Note: Your computer will probably not look exactly like this one, but should be similar enough that you can connect it successfully. 20 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

26 Replacing Batteries Eventually, the batteries that operate your MicroLock 40 will go dead. When they get very low, the MicroLock 40 will display the message "LOW BATTERY". At this point, you will probably have to connect an auxiliary battery to open your safe. See the diagram (Fig. 5) in the Starting the System section to see how this battery is connected. Use a fresh 9-Volt alkaline battery. With the 9-Volt battery connected, operate your safe normally. Once you have the safe open, locate the battery box and remove its cover. Replace the six batteries with fresh alkaline C cell batteries. Remove the 9-Volt auxiliary battery and operate your safe normally. Note: An AC Adaptor (P/N ) can be used as an alternate power source to eliminate battery replacement. Replacing Front Panels If an existing Front Panel must be replaced, the installation procedure at Step 3 is a little different. In this case: 1. Connect the new front panel to all existing solenoid locks. 2. Enter the factory combination:, present the Administrator Key, and press SEL. 3. Choose Command 90 (Re-enable Locks). 4. Enter the existing Lock ID in the new Front Panel. To do this: a. Choose Command 40 (Set lock id). b. Enter the Lock ID in the Current, New, and Confirm fields. 5. Choose Command 41 and enter the Company Code. 6. Enroll the Administrator key in the new Front Panel. 7. Configure the new Front Panel so that it operates as before. See the next section of this manual for information on configuration and administration. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 21

27 Administration Section The procedures in this manual are called Administrative Procedures. Some procedures are used when configuring the lock. Others may be used more frequently. All, however, require that the key you use to log in have the needed permissions, or authority. If the screens shown here do not appear when you log in, your key does not have the authority to perform that procedure. As the administrator for the Vindicator MicroLock 40, you have the authority to make far-reaching changes in the way the lock operates and in who has access to the safe and under what circumstances. Use these powers carefully it is much easier to avoid mistakes than it is to find and correct them later. If you have never used the Vindicator MicroLock 40 before, you should read the Operator s Guide that was shipped with your lock(s). It explains how to log in to the lock, operate the keypad, and other activities you must understand in order to operate the lock. 22 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

28 Configuration Each Vindicator MicroLock 40 must be configured to work with its safe and to behave as desired. Configuring the MicroLock 40 is largely a matter of setting its parameters. Configuration may have been performed by your lock s installing technician, or it may be up to you it depends on how your company sets things up. Following is a list of the MicroLock 40 s configurable parameters: Lock ID: Each MicroLock 40 installation should have a unique identification number, the Lock ID. It can be up to 6 digits long. The number should be guarded carefully. The Lock ID should not be changed unless you suspect that it may have been compromised. CRITICALLY IMPORTANT If you ever need to replace your lock front panel, the lock ID number will be needed. Failing to keep a record of this number could mean your safe would have to be drilled. This could cost you hundreds of dollars. Company Code: The Company Code is an identification number which is usually associated with a MicroLock s owner, or company. A MicroLock 40 s Front Panel cannot enroll a key that contains an incorrect Company Code. Your key supplier must know this number in order to manufacture new keys for you. Ordinarily, you should not change the Company Code once the lock is installed. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 23

29 Idle Key Purge: You can turn this feature on or off as desired. If you turn it on, keys that aren t used for 30 days are automatically deleted. Key Types 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, & 13 are not affected by Idle Key Purging. They have the purge exempt permission. Lost Key Override: You can turn this feature on or off as desired. Leaving it off results in the lock being able to be opened with a key only. If you turn it on, a keyholder can access the safe without a key by obtaining a special Lost Key Override code from the authorized provider. Holidays: Holidays permit exceptions to the normally programmed timelock schedules. You can define up to 16 holidays, all of which operate on the holiday schedule. Note that each door has its own holiday timelock schedule. Access Parameters: Each door in the safe has its own set of access parameters. Access Parameters are discussed in the Access Parameters section on page 25. Timelocks: Each door may have up to 2 independent Timelocks for each normal business day, 2 for holidays, and 2 for All Days. Solenoid Lock mechanisms: The MicroLock 40 can operate up to 4 Solenoid Lock Mechanisms. Date Format: You can change this setting to show dates in European (DD/MM/YY) or American (MM/DD/YY) formats. Display Text: Enter up to 16 characters of Display Text to be shown each time a user awakens the lock. Help Text: Text that appears when a user presses the (HELP) button. Dealers can put their name and phone number here. Interlocking: When active, only one door can be open at a time. Doors without sensors are excluded from this feature and can be open in addition to the one open door with a sensor. 24 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

30 Access Parameters There are three access parameters Time Delay, Access, and Behind Door. Time Delays prevent the safe from opening right after receiving a valid combination and key. The length of the delay is set by the Time Delay parameter (set to 0 (zero) minutes at the factory). The Access Interval determines how long the safe door may remain open before the lock reminds the user to close the door (set to 5 minutes at the factory). The Behind Door parameter determines whether a safe door is located on the outside or inside of the safe; if inside, this parameter defines which outer door the inner one is behind. To change any of the Access Parameters: 1. Log in. 2. Choose Command Enter the access parameters for each door as prompted. Press (SEL) to make your changes take effect, and to move to the next door s screen. Press (ESC) to cancel the operation along with the changes you ve made on the current screen. Remember, changes you made to earlier screens (like for other doors) still stand. Time Delay You can apply a Time Delay to any door. Users asking to open a door with a time delay must wait (the length of the Time Delay) before they can open the door. Only one time delay can be in progress at any given time; putting different time delays on outer and inner doors causes the user to wait through the longer of the two delays. At the end of the Time Delay, the MicroLock 40 beeps to announce that the safe may be opened. At that time, a user enters a combination, presents a key, and requests to open the door. The user opening the door need not be the same user who initiated the time Installer s and Administrator s Guide 25

31 delay sequence, but both keys must have permission to open the door. Access Interval The Access Interval determines how long a door may remain open. When this time period has expired, the MicroLock 40 reminds the user to close the door and writes a Held Door event into the audit trail. The reminder repeats every 15 seconds. The lock continues these reminders until the door is closed, or until the battery runs down. Behind Door The MicroLock 40 can operate up to 4 doors. Each door is numbered; the number is determined by the order in which the Solenoid Lock mechanism for that door was installed. Note There are also 2 types of doors: Outer Doors and Inner Doors. Outer doors have the Behind Door parameter set to 0 (zero), meaning that there are no doors in front of this door. Inner doors have the Behind Door parameter set to 1, 2, or 3 depending on which door they are behind. There is no between door; that means you can t have a door that s behind another door, that s behind yet another door, and so forth. The door number for any inner door must be higher than the door it s behind. For example, Door #3 can be behind door #2 or Door #1, but Door #1 cannot be behind Door #2 or Door #3. The following figure shows a 3-door safe configured with two outer doors and an inner door. 26 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

32 Door # 3 Behind Door = 2 Door #3 is located behind Door # 2 Door # 1 Behind Door =0 Door # 2 Behind Door =0 Doors # 1 and # 2 are located behind no other door. Figure 12. Configuring Inner Doors When an operator requests to open an inner door, the MicroLock 40 opens the necessary outer door. Operators do not have to request to open both doors. Timelocks You can schedule Timelocks for each of the safe s doors. A Timelock prevents the door from being opened while it is in effect. The MicroLock 40 is shipped with all the Timelocks set to Start and End at 00:00 (in effect, this says that the Timelock starts and ends at the same time the safe door will always be able to be opened). You can set Timelocks for three different kinds of days. All Days setting a Timelock for All Days means that this timelock will be the Timelock interval for this door, for all 7 days of the week. You can define 2 All Days Timelocks for each door. Specific days of the week use this parameter for Timelocks that are to be enforced on specific days, such as Mondays or Thursdays. You can define 2 Timelocks for each day of the week. Holidays You can define two Timelock schedules for a Holiday schedule, and you can use the holiday schedule on up to 16 dates. Holidays take precedence over other timelock schedules. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 27

33 Setting Timelocks Note: 1. Log in 2. Choose Command 61 to set Timelocks for Door #1. Use Command 62 for Door #2, 63 for Door #3, or 64 for Door #4. 3. Enter the Timelock Start and End times for each interval as prompted. To make your changes take effect, press (SEL). To cancel the operation, and any changes you ve made on the current screen, press (ESC). Remember, the changes you made on earlier screens still apply. To make a door stay timelocked all day long, set the Start time to 00:00 and the End time to 24:00. Time Lock Override This feature allows users to open safes for armored couriers. In practice, the normal user enters his combination and presents his key. While the Timelocked message is still on the screen, the armored courier presents his key. The door becomes able to be opened. Overriding timelocks also overrides time delays. Note that both keys must have permission to open the door. Key Behavior There are two aspects of key behavior you can configure: Idle Key Purging and Lost Key Override. Idle Key Purge This parameter determines how the MicroLock 40 treats unused keys. If Idle Key Purge is enabled, any key that is not used for 30 days is automatically deleted. Idle key purge does not affect Key Types 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 (see Key Types chart on page 33). 28 Installer s and Administrator s Guide

34 To Enable/Disable Idle Key Purge Idle Key Purge works like a switch it flips back and forth between being enabled or disabled. To change the setting: 1. Log in. 2. Choose Command 44. The screen shows whether Idle Key Purge is enabled or disabled. 3. Choose Command 44 again to revert to the previous setting. Lost Key Override If you intend to allow access to safes using Lost Key Override codes, this feature must be enabled. To Enable/Disable Lost Key Override Lost Key Override works like a switch it flips back and forth between being enabled or disabled. To change the setting: 1. Log in. 2. Choose Command 43. The screen indicates whether Lost Key Override is enabled or disabled. 3. Choose Command 43 again to revert to the previous setting. Time and Date Settings To Set the Clock 1. Log in. 2. Choose Command Enter the Time and Date. Enter time in 24-hour format; i.e., 9 am is entered as 0900; 3:30 pm as Enter Standard Time only (do not enter Daylight Savings time) and do this before turning on the Daylight Savings feature. 4. Press (SEL) to save your changes and go to the next screen. Installer s and Administrator s Guide 29

35 5. Enter the Day of Week. Sunday is Day #1, Monday is Day #2, etc. 6. Press (SEL). To Adjust for Daylight Savings Time The Daylight Savings command is actually just a switch that goes back and forth between Daylight Savings and Regular Time (shown as Spring forward and Fall back on the lock s screen). Spring Forward indicates that Daylight Savings is in effect. The Daylight Savings feature interacts with the clock. You should enter the time before you turn Daylight Savings on, and you should use Standard Time (not Daylight Savings) when you do.

38 Working with Keys MicroKeys are much more sophisticated than ordinary keys, though they serve some of the same purposes. For example, you can change the combination a MicroKey will work with, delete a MicroKey to prevent its being used, and re-activate it later so that you can assign it to someone else. The computer inside the key cooperates with the computer in the Front Panel to keep track of when keyholders try to use bad combinations, what activities the keyholder is authorized to perform, and who is currently authorized to hold the key. Key Types There are 13 different kinds, or types, of MicroKeys. These keys are pre-coded at the factory and are ready to use. The permissions are shown here. Permissions Key Types Unlock Door 1 * * * * * * * * Unlock Door 2 * * * * * * * * Unlock Door 3 * * * * * * Unlock Door 4 * * * * * Adjust DST * * * * * * * * * * Obtain Reports * * * * Administer Keys * * * Courier Override * * Purge Exempt * * * * * * Set Timelocks * * Enable Sol. Locks * * Set Clock * * Set Parameters * * Types 1 through 7 are Access keys. Type 12 is the Administrator Key. Types 8, 9, & 10 are special types of Administrator keys. These keys have the indicated administrative permissions, but some cannot open the safe. Type 11 and 13 are Courier Keys. They can be used to override time locks.

44 Getting Reports The Vindicator MicroLock 40 can remember 2000 events. After storing 2000 events, memory runs out and the lock starts erasing the record of one event for each new one that occurs. It erases the old records first. If it is important that you have a printed record of all events, you must ensure that reports are printed regularly, and often enough, that no data is lost. See page 19 for instructions on connecting printers and PCs. Report Sections The audit report contains several sections. They cover: Enrolled keys and their details Parameters Unlocks (lists the last 5 unlocks for each of the solenoid locks on the safe). History of Activities You can view, print, or send this report to a computer. You can also specify the range of dates you want covered.
