The device described in this manual is the BURG-WÄCHTER SecuTronic Electronic Combination Lock, designed for use with safes. It is a high-security locking system certified according to ECB•S Class A and EN 1300: 2018, indicating its resistance to unauthorized opening.
Function Description
The SecuTronic lock provides secure access to a safe through an electronic combination system. It operates via a keypad interface with a display that guides the user through various functions and settings. The core function is to open the safe using a PIN code. Beyond basic opening, the system offers comprehensive administrative capabilities, including code management, language settings, and system information.
Key Functions:
- Opening with PIN code: Users enter a 6-digit PIN code to unlock the safe, after which they are prompted to turn the knob to open the door.
- Code Change: Allows for changing both administrator and user codes. This is a critical security feature, especially for changing the factory-set administrator code to an individual one.
- Language Selection: The menu navigation is available in twelve languages, which can be changed via the "Languages" menu item.
- Administrator Menu: This menu provides advanced control over the lock system, accessible only with the administrator code. It includes sub-menus for:
- User Management (Create/Delete): Allows the administrator to create new user codes and delete existing ones. Deleted users lose access, but their history remains.
- Restructure: This function appears to reorganize or reset certain aspects of the system, indicated by "Restructuring in progress!"
- Processes: Displays the opening and closing history of the safe, providing an audit trail.
- Register: In case of a complete system failure, the electronic control panel may need to be re-registered with the locking mechanism.
- Info Menu: Provides access to system information reports, including "System info" and "System check," which can display details like firmware version (EE-V1.0, SNE:20.0A.00.00) and other technical data.
Important Technical Specifications
- Certification: ECB•S Class A, EN 1300: 2018.
- Administrator Codes: 1 (fixed).
- User Codes: 1 (maximum).
- Blocking Times:
- After 3 incorrect code entries: 5 minutes.
- For every further incorrect entry: 10 minutes.
- Power Supply: 4x AA MIGNON LR6 ALKALINE batteries.

Usage Features
- User-Friendly Interface: The lock features a keypad with numerical keys (1-0), a "Func" key, and an "On/Enter" key. The display shows current functions and guides the user.
- "Func" Key: Adapts its function based on the situation. It can be used to go back to the previous menu level, delete an entered character, or return to the main menu.
- "On/Enter" Key: Starts the system and selects the current menu item.
- Scroll Keys (1 and 2): Used to scroll up (1:▲) and down (2:▾) through menu options when multiple choices are available.
- Battery Level Indicator: A visual icon on the display shows the current battery status.
- Security Recommendations:
- Immediate change of factory code upon commissioning.
- Avoidance of easily guessable codes (e.g., sequential numbers, personal data).
- Testing new codes with the safe door open.
- All code changes (administrator, factory, user) must be carried out with the safe door open.
- Blocking Mechanism: To prevent tampering, the lock electronics implement blocking times after successive incorrect PIN code entries. During this time, the safe cannot be opened, even with a valid code.
- Date and Time Setting: When setting up the lock for the first time, additional information on the current date and time may be requested, which can be changed via the main menu.
Maintenance Features
- Battery Replacement:
- The battery level indicator alerts the user when capacity is low.
- The process involves removing two screws on the underside of the lock electronics (using a Torx T8 screwdriver), sliding out the lid with the batteries, replacing the four 1.5V AA Mignon batteries according to polarity markings, and screwing the lid back in.
- It is recommended to use branded, non-rechargeable batteries.
- Cleaning: The keyboard operating surface should be periodically cleaned with a microfibre cloth (e.g., glasses cleaning cloth) to remove fingerprints.
- Warranty: The product comes with a two-year warranty covering defects from production or material. It excludes damage from transport, incorrect operation, improper use, or wear. Batteries are not included in the warranty. For service or repair, the faulty device, valid administrator code, and original documentation must be presented to the dealer. For returns, all undamaged device parts must be in factory setting.
- Disposal: The device contains valuable recyclable materials. Electrical and electronic equipment and batteries must not be disposed of with household waste but collected separately at designated points.
