Function Description

The SYDNEY safe is designed for secure storage, featuring a digital lock system that operates with both a "master-code" and a "user-code." The lock mechanism is electronic, requiring a valid code entry to open. Some models include a key lock for additional security or an alternative opening method. The system provides acoustic and visual feedback (LED flashes) for various operations, such as key presses, correct/incorrect code entries, and system status.

Opening the Safe: To open the safe, press the * button, which triggers a single acoustic signal and a green LED flash. Subsequently, enter either the "master-code" or the "user-code" (4 to 6 digits; factory master-code is 1-2-4-5-6). After entering the code, press ENTER. If the code is correct, the green LED will flash, allowing the user to turn the key (if present) and then the handle clockwise to open the door. For models without a key lock, only the handle needs to be turned clockwise.

Closing the Safe: For SYDNEY 40-55 models, close the safe door and turn the key (or handle) clockwise until it stops. For SYDNEY 65-140 models, the safe automatically locks upon closing the door.

Code Management: The safe allows for changing both the "master-code" and the "user-code." It also supports deleting the "user-code." Code changes should ideally be performed with the safe door open.

Lock Blocking: Incorrect code entries are handled with increasing security measures. Two incorrect entries result in two acoustic signals and a continuous green LED flash for 5 seconds. Three consecutive incorrect entries trigger a lock blocking period of 5 minutes, during which the red LED flashes every 5 seconds, and the lock cannot be opened even with a valid code.

Important Technical Specifications

• Batteries: Requires 4 x 1.5V Alkaline AAA batteries for power supply.
• Code Length: Both "master-code" and "user-code" must be between 4 and 6 digits long.
• Factory Master-Code: 1-2-3-4-5-6.
• Reset Condition: Upon reset, the "master-code" is set to 1-2-3-4-5-6, and the "user-code" is deactivated.

Usage Features

User Feedback:

• Key Press: Each key press (except ENTER after code entry) is confirmed by a single acoustic signal and a green LED flash.
• Inactivity Timeout: If no key is pressed for 10 seconds, the lock switches off, confirmed by a single acoustic signal and a green LED flash.
• Correct Code Entry: Two acoustic signals and two green LED flashes.
• Incorrect Code Entry: Two acoustic signals and continuous green LED flash for 5 seconds (for the first two incorrect attempts).
• Lock Blocking: Three acoustic signals and a red LED flash, followed by a 5-minute lockout period with the red LED flashing every 5 seconds.

Maintenance Features

Battery Replacement:

• Low Battery Indication: When the battery voltage is low, pressing the * button will trigger 5 acoustic buzzer signals and a red LED flash. In this state, only lock opening is permitted; code changes are not allowed.
• Procedure: The battery compartment is located in the lower part of the keyboard body, under a removable cover. Replace the old batteries with 4 new 1.5V Alkaline AAA batteries, observing the correct polarities.
• Code Retention: The stored codes are retained even when the batteries are switched off.

Malfunction Diagnostics:

• Self-Test: The device performs a self-test during power-up.
• Damaged Access Code: If an access code is damaged, the buzzer will sound 3 times, and both LEDs will flash, after which the device switches off.
• Unsuccessful Code Change: If a code change attempt fails to save the new code, the buzzer will sound 3 times, and both LEDs will flash. The device will then continue to function with the former valid code.
• Support: In case of problems with code changes or other malfunctions, users are advised to contact customer service.
