This document provides a comprehensive guide for operating and maintaining the De Raat Sun Safe, a security product designed for safeguarding valuables. The manual covers various models including EM 015, ES 020, ES 031D, DES 020, and DES 031D, and outlines the functionalities, usage procedures, and troubleshooting steps for the safe.

Function Description

The De Raat Sun Safe is a robust security device equipped with an electronic lock system, a keypad for code entry, a screen for displaying messages, a knob for manual operation, and a start button. It is designed to secure items by requiring a specific code for access. A key feature is its ability to be bolted down to the floor, enhancing its security against theft. The safe's electronic lock allows for personalized access codes, offering a secure way to protect contents. It also includes features like code hiding for privacy during entry and adjustable sound settings for discreet or audible operation. The system is designed to provide visual feedback through its screen, indicating status such as "open," "good," "Lo_bAt" (low battery), "Act" (keypad locked), and "deAct" (keypad unlocked).

Usage Features

Opening the Safe for the First Time: To open the safe initially, the user must press the start button, which will display six bars on the screen. The pre-set factory code (1 2 3 4 5 6) must then be entered. Upon successful entry, the screen will show "open." The user then turns the knob to the right and lifts the handle upwards before the "open" message disappears. It is crucial to change this factory code immediately after the first opening to ensure security.

Setting a Second Code: To set an additional code, the user first enters the current code and opens the door. Inside the door, there is a black cover which, when opened, reveals a white memory button. Pressing this memory button once, followed by "2" and the start button, initiates the process. The user then enters their new 6-digit code. The screen will display "AGAIN IN," prompting the user to re-enter the new code for confirmation. "IN1" will confirm that the new code has been successfully set.

Changing the Code in the Lock: To change an existing code, the user enters the current code and opens the door. Similar to setting a second code, a black cover inside the door is opened to access the white memory button. Pressing this button once will display "-Code-" followed by "USEr_". The user then presses "1" followed by the start button, which will show six bars ("- - - - - -") on the screen. The new 6-digit code is entered, and the screen will display "AgAiN" for re-entry. "IN_1B" confirms the new code has been programmed.

Hiding the Code on the Screen: For enhanced privacy, the safe allows users to hide the code entry from the screen. This feature is activated by pressing the start button twice before entering the code. When this feature is active, the entered code will not be visible on the screen.

Turning the Sound of the Lock On or Off: The safe's sound settings can be adjusted. To do this, the user enters the current code and opens the door. The white memory button, located behind the black cover inside the door, is pressed and held for 3 seconds. The screen will display "beep," followed by "On-OFF." To turn the sound on, the user presses "0" followed by the start button. To turn the sound off, "1" followed by the start button is pressed.

Locking and Unlocking the Keypad: To lock the keypad, the start button is pressed for 3 seconds. The screen will display "Act," indicating the keypad is locked. To unlock it, the start button is pressed again for 3 seconds, and the screen will show "deAct," confirming the keypad is unlocked.

Maintenance Features

When to Change the Batteries: Battery replacement is necessary under several conditions:

• When the screen displays "Lo_bAt."
• If the safe door does not open despite entering the correct code, and the screen shows "OPEN."
• When the correct code is entered, the screen shows "good," and two beeps are heard.
• If the screen does not turn on when the start button is pressed.

Changing the Batteries: To change the batteries, the user enters the current code and opens the door. A hook on the battery cover, located under the keypad, is pulled towards the user to remove the cover. This provides access to the four batteries. The manual advises using four new Alkaline batteries, specifically recommending the Duracell brand, as they provide sufficient voltage for the lock. Rechargeable batteries are explicitly not recommended. After changing the batteries, it is important to always check if the lock functions correctly before closing the door.

Troubleshooting Guide (Frequently Asked Questions): The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues:

• No reaction when pressing the start button:

  • Empty batteries: Change the batteries.
