• KeySecure 5 devices may be connected to power through the ignition switch; however the device will
not be capable of communicating or releasing a key when power is o

a PC. A standard RJ45 ethernet cable should be used if the device will communicate through the
vehicle’s ethernet communication gateway
KeySecure 5 & 6 Operation
Upon shipment, KeySecures are assigned to the jurisdiction. Before use, the device must be configured in
KnoxConnect. The Knox Device Sync app is then used to pass the configurations to each device via USB.
Users may be given permissions to use some or all devices. Users access keys retained in the KeySecure
through entry of a valid PIN or SecurePIN temporary access code.
When a Key is released and removed, the notification LEDs will flash to provide indication that the key is no
longer retained in the device. The alert will continue until the key is returned.
NOTE: KeySecure 6 units shipping prior to June 2019 were set for the Knox eKey retention slot deactivated.
This function is selectable in KnoxConnect and can be reactivated by a device administrator.
Night/Blackout Mode: Users with Supervisor field capabilities may temporarily dim or turn o the
KeySecure keypad and LED lights. Light adjustments expire after 8 hours, returning the keypad and LEDs to
standard mode
Dual PIN Options: Devices can be set to require the entry of two valid PINs to release the keys. There are
two options:
• Dual PIN: Release key upon entry of any two valid PINs
• Dual PIN Supervisor: Requires two valid PINs; one of any type and one Supervisor PIN.
SecurePIN Option: Devices can be set to allow use of a temporary access code issued by a Dispatcher for
users who do not have PINs
