5.19 Creating Limited Use/Vendor Keys
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 Limited Use Key.
4. In the Create Limited Use Key PC dialog box,
the first step is to select the locks that this key
will open. You can choose a single unit or any
combination of units up to a total of 20, as well
as common access areas. When the Limited
Use key is read, it will show the last 40 locks
in which the key was used.
Note: For the common access areas, you can
click Mark All to easily select all common access
locks. If you intend to select eight out of 10 of
these locks, for example, you can Mark All, then
click the two unwanted areas to unselect them.
5. Next, if you wish a Limited Use key to have
one-time access, click the square next to One
Shot Key. This will program the key to work for
only one unit lock and allow it to open this lock
only once.
6. You will need to assign a date and expiration time for the Limited Use key. First, click on Valid Date
and assign the date you wish the key to expire (this date can be in the future) if a future date is
selected; the key will not begin working until 12:01 a.m. on that date. Next, go to Expiration Time
and assign the time you wish the key to expire.
Note: Any unit numbers that appear in bold print have an open or pending work order. To view the work
order, double click on the unit number. See Sections 4.10-13 for detailed information on work orders.
