The FireKing ES18B, also identified as FK1, is a high-security electronic lock system. It comprises the ESK18B keypad and the ESL18B lock body. This system is designed for secure access control, offering various features for both managers and general users.

Function Description:

The ES18B system provides electronic access to a safe or secure container. It utilizes a keypad for code entry and an electronic lock mechanism for securing the door. The system supports multiple users with different access levels: Manager Codes (ID01 and ID02) and General User Codes (ID03-ID32). Manager codes have full access to programming menus, allowing them to manage users, set system parameters, and configure security features. General users have limited menu selections, primarily for opening the lock and changing their own codes.

Important Technical Specifications:

• User Capacity: The FK1 supports up to 32 users (ID01 to ID32).
• Code Length: Passwords can be 6 to 8 digits long. For enhanced security, 8-digit passwords are recommended, providing 1 million unique UL password code combinations.
• Battery: The system requires a standard 9V alkaline battery for operation.
• Relock Time: The lock automatically relocks after 3.5 seconds, a hard-coded setting that cannot be changed.
• Lockout Period: After more than 4 incorrect password attempts, the system locks for 4 minutes, with the display flashing every 15 seconds.
• Encryption: Data transmission between the keypad and the lock is encrypted to ensure security. The encryption key is set during manufacturing but can be changed by a manager.

Usage Features:

• Installation: The installation process involves connecting the lock cable from the keypad to the lock body, mounting the keypad on shoulder bolts, and securing the lock body to the mounting plate. Proper cable routing through a dedicated channel on the lock body is crucial to prevent damage.
• Battery Installation/Removal: A 9V battery is connected via a terminal clip and pushed into the battery compartment. Removal involves pinching the fingers as shown in the manual and gently pulling the battery out.
• Opening the Lock: To open the lock, users enter their 6-8 digit code and press the "Menu/OK" key. The display will show "Lock Open" followed by "3.5 Sec" before relocking.
• Accessing Menus: After opening the lock, during the 2-second unlocking period, the display shows "Select Menu." Users can then use the up and down keys to browse menu options and "Menu/OK" to select.
• Encryption Key Set: Managers can change the default encryption key. This key is vital for communication between the keypad and the lock.
• System Info: Both managers and general users can view system information, including the software version and the number of users currently enrolled.
• Change Code: All users can change their own 6-8 digit codes. The system requires entering the new code twice for confirmation.
• Enrolling New Users (Manager Only): Managers can enroll new users by selecting an available ID position (or choosing a specific one) and entering a new 6-8 digit code, which must be repeated for confirmation.
• Delete One User (Manager Only): Managers can delete individual user codes by selecting the desired User ID.
• Disable/Enable User Code (Manager Only): This feature allows managers to temporarily revoke or restore a user's access without deleting their code. This is useful for situations like employee vacations.
• Enable/Disable Dual Mode (Manager Only): When enabled, Dual Mode requires two different valid user codes to open the lock within 60 seconds, enhancing security.
• Delete All General Users (Manager Only): This command allows managers to delete all general user codes (ID03-ID32) from the system.
• Show/Hide Code (Manager Only): This feature controls how code entries are displayed on the LCD. In "Hide Code" mode, all digits are displayed as "*" immediately upon entry, obscuring the code from view. In normal operation, digits are visible until the next digit is entered.
• Set/Cancel Time Delay (Manager Only): Time Delay is a security feature that requires a user to enter their code, wait a prescribed period (0-99 minutes), and then re-enter a valid code to unlock the safe. Managers can set both the delay period and the "Time Window" (0-15 minutes), which is the allowed time to re-enter the code after the delay expires.
• Pair Locks (Manager Only): This operation is necessary to link a new lock or keypad to the existing system. When pairing a new keypad to an existing lock, the default manager code is used. If a new lock is installed with an existing keypad, the existing manager code from the safe is used. After pairing, codes revert to their previously saved states.

Maintenance Features:

• Battery Replacement: The system relies on a 9V battery, which will need periodic replacement. The manual provides instructions for safe removal and installation.
• Troubleshooting (Cable Connection): If the lock cable is not properly connected, the display will show "Fail to Link Lock" and "Check the Cable of Lock," indicating a connection issue.
• Code Mismatch/Similar Code Alerts: During code changes or enrollment, the system provides feedback if entered codes do not match ("Code Mismatch") or if a registered password has been used before ("Code is Similar"), prompting the user to re-register.
