Duress Alarm (a.k.a. Silent Signal Alarm) is a feature that allows the
user to signal secretly they are in a troubled condition, such as a rob-
bery or an intruder in the home.
¾ Provides a silent and safe means to summon help in an emer-
gency.
¾ The Duress Alarm feature must be turned ON to provide signal-
ing. See Programming section for details.
¾ The Duress Signal can be sent without an observer realizing a
signal has been activated.
¾ The Duress Signal is activated by pressing 1 and 5 keys simul-
taneously after the final Keystroke of a valid code.
¾ The lock will respond and open normally when the Duress
Signal has been activated.
¾ Requires hard-wiring to an alarm system that has appropriate
capabilities and is monitored for emergency response.
¾ The Duress Signal output makes a connection for three (3) sec-
onds when activated.
Open Door Signaling is a feature that provides an output signal when-
ever the lock is in an open condition, so that an Alarm System can notify
the user or a monitoring service that the safe is unlocked.
¾ A microswitch inside the lock detects the position of the locking
pin, and this position sensing is provided as an output signal in
the output port.
¾ The output is turned ON when the lock is unlocked, and holds
for 30 seconds until the lock goes to sleep.
¾ If the lock goes to sleep (over 30 seconds in an open condition),
the output sends a two (2) second signal when the lock is
locked.
¾ Requires hard-wiring to an alarm system that has appropriate
capabilities.
Detailed Instructions
The AMSEC 5BE lock is an electronic light-duty safe lock. This lock pro-
vides for quick access to a security container with high reliability and lit-
tle effort. Specifications and operation subject to change.
Operating Information
¾ There are two programmable “codes” in the lock; a “Primary”
code that requires five (5) keystrokes, and a “Backup” code that
requires eight (8) keystrokes.
¾ A “Keystroke” can be one button, or two buttons pushed simulta-
neously.
¾ For instructional purposes, the Buttons are numbered 1 thru 5
starting at the button furthest from the knob.
¾ The “Primary” code is for everyday use. The “Backup” code is
provided so the user can have a means to access the safe in
the event they forget their Primary Code. The Backup Code
should be set to some unique combination, and kept in a secure
location (not inside the safe).
¾ The “Factory” Primary code is 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5.
¾ The Backup Code is not kept at the factory. Every 5BE lock
comes with the same Backup Code.
¾ The Factory Backup Code is 1 – 5 – 2 – 4 – 3 – 1/5 – 2/4 – 3,
where the X/X numbers are Keystrokes that are pressed simul-
taneously. The consumer should change this code to provide
optimum security.
¾ The 5BE lock can be programmed (see Programming section).
• The lock can be programmed for Silent Mode, where the
beeper will not sound during normal operation.
• The optional LED Lighting Lamps can be turned on or off.
• The optional Duress Alarm feature can be turned on or off.
