The E-Plex 5200 and E-Plex 5700 door locks are designed to limit and control entry to an 
area or premises through the use of a numeric combination (PIN) entered via the keypad, for 
both the E-Plex 5200 and E-Plex 5700, and the presentation of a proximity token (Prox Card), 
for the E-Plex 5700. The locks are designed to work in conjunction with the E-Plex Advanced 
Access Control System software (E-Plex Advanced ACS software), with the intent to use a 
handheld Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to transfer information between the PC and the 
lock. 
Note: For the purposes of this manual, the “Handheld PDA” or “Palm PDA” will be referred 
to as the M-Unit (Maintenance Unit), as its primary function is to perform maintenance at 
the lock.
