Configuring the Lock
General Procedure for Pushbutton Programming
1. The pages that follow provide step-by-step instructions for
programming the E-Plex 5000 lock.
2. The general procedure for all programming functions is as follows:
a. Put the lock in Programming Mode by pressing # Master
Code #
b. Use the Summary of Commands Table in the appendix section
of this guide to enter the three digit command sequence
(Command Type + Function Code), followed by #.
c. Enter the appropriate numbers as required.
d. Press # to end Programming Mode.
e. Once the lock is in programming mode, multiple command
sequences can be entered without having to repeat the
#mastercode#. However, if there is no activity for 15
seconds at the keypad, the lock will automatically exit
from programming mode.
For example
• If the Master or Manager enters his code of 00004992, the
door will open.
• If he enters #00004992#, the lock will enter into the
Programming Mode and wait for the next part of the command.
• If he enters the # sign twice at the end of the code, for
example #00004992##, the lock will go out of Programming
Mode and return to its normal mode.
Note: The # pound sign acts like the Enter key on a keyboard in your
communications with the lock. The # tells the lock that one part of the
entry is finished. The # serves another purpose - to distinguish a
programming type command from a simple Access Code to open the
door. A Master or Manager User can use the same number to open the
door or to put the lock in Programming Mode, the only difference being
that he uses the # sign in front to signal that he is about to enter a
programming command. For increased security
, it is recommended that
the master user code not be used for everyday access. This can be
accomplished by creating an access user code for the master user.
