JumpBox E-Lock Power Boost
Since its release over a decade ago the JumpBox from Lockmasters, Inc has built a
reputation as one of the most effective electronic safe lock servicing aids in the industry.
A genuine JumpBox E-Lock Power Boost module is built into every Phoenix tool. This
allows the Phoenix to overcome many common electronic safe lock issues such as
stalled bolts, cross-threaded drive nuts, stuck solenoids
and damaged cables. Selecting the JumpBox option on
the Main Menu allows you to manually access and
control the Phoenix tool’s embedded JumpBox power
supply. To use this feature, remove the Junction Box
from the output jack on the Phoenix and plug the RED /
BLACK JumpBox cable directly into the top of the
Phoenix tool (see image to left).Next, remove any
batteries from the lock keypad then plug the white end of the
JumpBox cable into any one of the 9-volt battery snap
connectors inside the keypad in place of the battery (see
images to left).
Once the
JumpBox cable
is connected to
the 9-volt battery terminals in the keypad,
tap the screen to proceed to the
JumpBox control interface. (see below)
The slide switch in the middle of the
screen allows you complete control of the
output of the JumpBox circuit, by turning it ON
or OFF
instantly by simply
tapping on the screen. The JumpBox feature in the Phoenix also includes an “Active
Power Display” that continuously measures the current draw of the lock and provides a
scrolling graph of real-time current consumption along the bottom of the screen. The
“Active Power Display” can be used to help in diagnosing a fault lock or keypad. A non-
responsive lock that’s simply in penalty lockout will show a periodic “blip” scroll across
the screen as the timer inside the lock counts during the lockout period. Active Power
Display can also reveal a defective motor or solenoid.
