58 • SAFESEXTRA Focus on MiniTech Safelock Systems Ltd is a trade supplier of Safelocks in the UK and Ireland, with over 30 years’ experience covering LAGARD, Tecnosicurezza, and other Safelock products. Directors Jasmine Hunt-Brown and Tony Brown tell us more about the MiniTech: » » SINCE ITS RELEASE IN 2012, the popularity of MiniTech has been steadily growing, and with the latest firmware updates, additional features have marked the lock as a multi-function premium option for a range of commercial applications. At the turn of the century, safelock manufacturers Tecnosicurezza developed the F-Series range of locks in partnership with LAGARD. The TechMaster was a natural evolution of the F-Series range, encompassing advanced features such as multi-lock and networking with remote management. There was however a clear need for a lock with the same comprehensive timelock display functions as the TechMaster, but without the advanced features, or number of users. MiniTech was the solution, at an appropriate price bracket. USERS 02-49: • Open the lock • If enabled, initiate immediate timelock (block the lock) • Change their own code USERS 50-59: • Open the lock • Override time delay • If enabled, initiate immediate timelock (block the lock) • Change their own code ‘a multi-function premium option for a range of commercial applications’ MASTER: • Adjust time and date • Manage timelock values • View or download an audit • Manage the Manager • Change their own code TIMELOCK MiniTech contains a built-in clock, allowing a weekly timelock schedule of ‘timelock active’ and ‘timelock inactive’ to be programmed using the keypad. This is used to manage opening by code-holders preventing opening at unauthorised times, such as during business closing hours. The firmware also contains the ability to specify dates and times where the timelock schedule should not apply, such as for bank holidays, or special opening days. Automatic DST is programmed into the lock by the manufacturer, to ensure that the clock changes from winter-time to summertime and back. The dates can be amended and updated using software. MANAGER: • Open the lock • Manage users • Manage time delay values • Initiate immediate timelock (block the lock) • View or download an audit • Change their own code IMMEDIATE TIMELOCK (BLOCK THE LOCK) As standard, it is possible for the Manager to initiate a block period – effectively placing the lock into ‘timelock active’ until a specified time and date in the future – up to 31 days ahead. Standard users can also be programmed to access this feature.
