Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Kaba Ilco Lodging Access Control System 225
11.4 Replacing a Battery
The expected life of the battery pack depends on the use of the lock. Common Area
locks, for instance, may require more frequent battery replacements than regular
guestrooms. In any case, the same procedure is followed.
Only the time needs to be reset when the batteries are changed. The lock does NOT
need to be reprogrammed. Any lock taken off battery power for more than a few seconds
stops counting time and ceases to function even when the batteries are replaced. This is a
precaution that forces maintenance staff to reset the time using the FDU to keep the two
synchronized. The addresses do not have to be reprogrammed, since the Room, Sub-
Master, and Master addresses remain saved in the lock.
Use a Master Authorization keycard to make Initialization and Programming key-cards.
Replace the batteries. Insert the Initialization keycard and then the Programming keycard
into the lock, and then connect the communication cable to the lock and the FDU. Reset
the lock time as per section 5.6. The battery replacement is now complete.
NOTE: The Initialization keycard must be inserted prior to the Programming
keycard.
11.5 Replacing a Lock
If it has been determined that the malfunction is caused by a defect in the lock, then the
lock should be changed. During the installation of the system, a Kaba Ilco representative
is available to train the maintenance staff in the proper procedures for removing and
replacing locks. Keep the installation instructions shipped with the locks available for
future reference.
If the locks have the mechanical override option, it is very important that the high-
security cylinder be removed from the defective lock and placed in the new lock.
(Replacement locks are not supplied with cylinders.)
Once the lock is changed it must be programmed to accept the valid keycards already in
circulation for that room, using the Reset Addresses function. As discussed in section 5.4,
the addresses can be taken from the defective lock or from one of the neighboring locks
with the same addresses (except room number).
NOTE: When a new lock (i.e. a lock that has never been programmed for the
property) is installed, the Initialization keycard must be inserted prior to the
Programming keycard.
