Customer Key Security 
After successful registration, the system automatically generates a unique 16-digit Customer 
Key, which will be your system security key. This Customer Key will be used throughout your 
facility as part of system security – in your PC database, the M-Unit handheld, and the E-Plex 
5200 and E-Plex 5700 locks. 
Your 16-digit Customer Key can be read anytime from the Help | About screen of the E-Plex 
Advanced ACS software, as shown below.  
 
This same Customer Key must also be entered in your M-Unit(s) before programming and/or 
auditing the E-Plex 5200 and E-Plex 5700 locks. 
Example of Software Registration Data Input and Output 
A 6-digit Serial Number    = 123456 
and an 8-digit Factory Number   = 0511 0100 
will generate an 8-digit Registration Key  = 3720 0992 
so that your unique Customer Key will be  =  0511-0100-3720-0992 
which is a combination of:        [Factory No. + Registration No.].
