The following procedure applies to the E-Plex 30xx locks only
:
PROCEDURE 19 - SWINGBOLT OPERATION
This operation is similar to the Privacy function of a conventional lock with a
physical deadbolt, but not quite! In the E-Plex 3000 Swinbolt operation, any
valid user can disengage, ie., override the “privacy” by entering a valid PIN and
then turning the thumbturn which will retract the swingbolt down. Now the lock
will behave as though it is in a “latch holdback” mode since the swingbolt is
completely retracted and stays retracted, thus allowing free access without any
codes. You perform the same sequence of operations to engage, ie., re-lock by
bringing the swingbolt back to its “home” (horizontal locked) position.
• the swingbolt engage (project it) and disengage (retract it) actions are
strictly manual by flipping the thumbturn on the lock front housing. This
function is neither programmable nor automatic and so you must ensure
to re-lock if it was left too long in a retracted position,
• any valid user can perform this function – ie., engage or disengage the
swingbolt anytime,
• when the swingbolt is disengaged (retracted), it will physically stay
retracted down when the door closes so that users carrying packages etc
do not have the inconvenience of having to turn the thumbturn again to
open the door, but simply push the door to enter without a code,
• from the interior side of the door, any person (valid user or not) can
manually retract or engage the swingbolt to unlock or lock the door.
Required User Level: Master, Manager, Access user & Service user
1. To Disengage (retract swingbolt): Enter a valid PIN to open and the lock will
flash the green LED indicating that you are a valid user and you are allowed
to disengage the swingbolt to unlock. Turn the thumbturn on the lock front
housing clockwise and hold. The swingbolt will fully retract down and will
stay retracted, allowing you to enter the door. Let go off the thumbturn so
that it will revert back to its normal horizontal (home) position but the swing-
bolt will stay retracted and disengaged.
2. You can also disengage the swingbolt using the mechanical override key by
performing the following operation: insert the mechanical key in the lock
override cylinder’s vertical slit and turn it clockwise to the horizontal position.
With the key still in this horizontal position, turn the thumbturn clockwise
to disengage the swingbolt which will fully retract down and will stay retract-
ed. Let go off the thumbturn so that it will revert back to its normal horizon-
tal (home) position. Turn the key back to its vertical position and remove it
from the lock cylinder.
3. To Engage (project swingbolt): This procedure is almost the same as in Step
1 above. Enter a valid PIN and the lock will flash the green LED indicating that
you are a valid user and you are allowed to engage the swingbolt to lock
back. Turn the thumbturn on the lock front housing clockwise and hold. The
swingbolt will revert back up to its locked, horizontal (home) position. Let go
off the thumbturn so that it will also revert back to its normal horizontal
(home) position.
