SAFES Phoenix Safe announces updates to Vela SS0800 Series Phoenix Safe has announced a series of improvements to its popular Vela SS0800 range of safes, with improved security and usability being the focus of the updates. Design The biggest change you will notice on the Vela is the redesigned keypad. The former flat, soft button fascia has been replaced with a raised design to provide a more tactile experience when operating the keypad, allowing users to enter their combinations with more confidence and less inaccuracies. Programming The programming of the Vela has also been updated, providing a faster, easier experience when resetting the electronic lock back to its factory settings. Previously to reset the electronic lock back to its factory settings, the user had to unscrew the back of the door panel and remove the battery compartment to access the internal master reset. With the new improved design and programming, the user can reset the safe back to its factory setting from a reset button, now found inside the battery compartment. This 50 saves the user time and effort making for a much smoother experience when resetting their safe. Security Usability isn’t the only thing that Phoenix have improved with their latest update - there has also been a focus on further improving the security of the safe. The addition of a new swing bolt into the locking mechanism makes it even more difficult than before for potential thieves to break into the safe - providing extra peace of mind. ‘a faster, easier experience when resetting the electronic lock back to its factory settings’ The Vela Range The Vela is designed as a general purpose security safe suitable for the home or office, with a £1,000/£10,000 recommended cash and valuable rating.
