SAFES EXTRA
Features
The majority of lock management is from the keypad . Dual mode and silent alarm can be switched on or off as required for the 702-705 locks .
Users can be profiled to have varying combinations of manager rights , opening rights , audit rights and / or time delay override rights , again using the keypad .
Model 703 can control up to 2 locks bodies , and models 704- 705 can control up to 5 locks . 705 allows for a Bluetooth fob instead of the traditional Dallas key .
A 500 event audit is available to download on the 702 model , and can also be viewed on the 703 display . 704 stores 2,000 events and 705 stores 6,000 events .
Software
A USB-B MINI port is installed on keypads , and an application is available for audit and lock management for 702-705 keypads ( License dongle required ). Timelock , with schedules programmed using software , is available for the 704 and 705 models . Lock firmware can also be updated using the software .
The lock body
Installation
As the lock body ’ s mechanical design is not changing , the installation process for the lock is the same . The keypad is provided with an adapter plate rather than pin and springs to fix it in position for a swingbolt . The keypad ’ s backplate can be mounted using the vertical 12 o ’ clock and 6 o ’ clock positions , fixing points that match with mechanical combination dials and 3035 / 3125 keypads .
Commands
The current LA GARD process of ‘ holding down the last digit for 2 sets of double beeps ’ has been renewed with # commands . Whilst different , the processes are just as quick and easy . Here ’ s an example to change a user ’ s code :
The mechanical design of the 700 series lock body is the same as the current LA GARD range , with updated circuitry . Interestingly , the relationship between lock and keypad has been reversed in the 700 series .
The keypad
With current LA GARD locks such as the Basic , 39e , 66e , Supra and TL11 , any keypad will work with any lock , because the keypad is an input device only – the memory and processing functions are held within the lock .
In the 700 series , there is one level of lock , but five different levels of keypad , and each level enables various users and features . It could be considered that the lock body effectively has all the features , and the keypad unlocks the features required .
Paired lock and keypad
Keypads are paired to locks as part of the setup process , which increases the overall security . Locks and keypads can be unpaired , or a new keypad can replace a damaged one following a procedure . Locks can also be completely reset with the Master code , or using a LA GARD reset box .
Standard keypads have a removable battery tray housing 2 x 9v batteries . Low profile options are available and require a separate battery box , but still have a battery connector for emergency power .
Of course , with the display keypad models , all management of the lock system is available from the easy to navigate menu .
Forced code changes
To comply with increasing security standards , all new codes added to the lock must be changed before they can be used to open . When we supply the 700 series , we will setup locks so that there is a valid opening code immediately available for testing the mechanical function of the lock .
