States of the Lock
There are three states of the lock: Factory Mode, Access Mode, and Pushbutton
Programming Mode.
Factory Mode
The Factory Mode is one of three primary states of the E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 locks. The
main characteristics of this state are:
• The E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 opens only when the 8-digit master combination (1-2-3-4-
5-6-7-8) is keyed in.
• The visual indication for ‘access granted’ is the green LED flashing once. A high-pitched
tone is also generated while the green LED is on.
• The Master User must change the combination to be able to exit the Factory mode, and
switch to the Access Mode.
Access Mode
Access Mode refers to a lock that is operational for user access, and not in Factory or
Pushbutton Programming Mode.
Pushbutton Programming Mode
The E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 enters the Pushbutton Programming Mode when the user
enters the Master combination or one of the Manager combinations, preceded and followed
by the # button (for example, #87654321#). Once the E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 is in the
Pushbutton Programming Mode, the Master/Manager can enter one or more command
sequences. Each command sequence ends with a # that acts like an <enter> button on a
keyboard. At the very end of all sequences of programming commands, enter one more # to
remove the lock from the Pushbutton Programming Mode to return to normal Access Mode.
Battery Life and Replacement
The E-Plex 5200/E-Plex 5700 locks use four “AA” Alkaline batteries. A variety of factors will
determine how long your lock operates on a set of batteries, including:
• Shelf life
• Openings per day
• Environment
