5.15 Creating Diagnostics Keys

The Diagnostics key is designed to help analyze and reveal why a key will not gain entry. This is a non-

opening key that may be used in any lock on the property. If a lock does not allow access for its

programmed key, program a Diagnostics key and insert it into the lock in question. Return the Diagnostics

key to the PC for a diagnostics report.

Note: The key that will not gain access must be the last key used in the lock prior to the Diagnostics key

to secure information.

Note: The maximum number of duplicate keys is 64. After you have made 64 duplicate keys, you must

start over by making a new key for that level.

1. Be sure that the PC is turned on, the electronic key encoder device is plugged in an electrical outlet

and the USB cable between them is properly attached (see Section 2.5 “Installing the Electronic Key

Encoder and Utility Device”).

Note: The utility device need not be in the

electronic key encoder to create keys.

2. Click on the Keys menu at the top of the

window or the Keys icon.

3. Point to Create, then select Diagnostics

Key.

4. At the Create Diagnostics Key PC dialog box, you

must name the person to whom you wish to assign the

key in the box under the words, “The Key Is Assigned

To.” Click the button to the right of the box. (This

button has a hand pointing to the right.)

5. At the Select User Type PC dialog box, click the open circle next to

Staff and click OK.

Note: Diagnostics keys can only be assigned to staff members.
