This document describes the Union Safe Company Electronic Wall Safe, a security device designed to be installed within a wall.

Function Description

The Electronic Wall Safe is intended for securing valuables and documents. It features an electronic keypad for access, supplemented by a keyhole for manual override. The safe is designed to be installed into a wall, providing a discreet and secure storage solution. It operates with an electronic locking mechanism, allowing users to set and reset both a Master Code and a User Code for access. In case of forgotten codes or depleted batteries, a physical key can be used to open the safe.

Important Technical Specifications

External Dimensions: 3-1/2" L x 13-3/4" W x 22-3/4" H
Batteries: 4 AA (sold separately)
Weight: 29 lb
Locking Mechanism: Electronic keypad with manual key override.
Code Length: Up to 8 digits for both Master and User Entry Codes.
Security Features: Keypad disables for 20 seconds after one incorrect entry, and for 5 minutes after three consecutive incorrect entries.
Construction: Steel body, designed for in-wall installation between studs.
Fire Resistance: The safe is explicitly stated as not fireproof.

Usage Features

Opening the Safe:

With Key: Remove the keyhole cover, insert the key, turn counterclockwise, then turn the knob clockwise to open the door. Remove the key and replace the cover.
With Entry Code: Enter the Master or User Entry Code on the keypad. The safe will beep twice, and a green light will illuminate. Turn the knob clockwise to open the door. The safe will automatically lock if not opened within a few seconds of accepting the Entry Code.

Setting/Resetting Entry Codes (Master and User):

Important: Keep the door open while setting codes and store codes in a secure location outside the safe.
Master Code: Press "00" on the keypad, then press and hold the Entry Code Button until the safe beeps and a yellow light illuminates. Within 15 seconds, enter an Entry Code (up to 8 digits) on the keypad, followed by either "A" or "B". A beep confirms acceptance; if the yellow light turns off without beeping, the code was not accepted.
User Code: Press and hold the Entry Code Button until the safe beeps and a yellow light illuminates. Within 15 seconds, enter an Entry Code (up to 8 digits) on the keypad, followed by either "A" or "B". A beep confirms acceptance; if the yellow light turns off without beeping, the code was not accepted.

Battery Installation/Replacement:

Remove the battery cover.
Install 4 AA batteries (sold separately), ensuring correct polarity.
Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types (alkaline, carbon-zinc, nickel-cadmium).
Do not use swollen or leaking batteries.
A red light will illuminate when batteries need replacement. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
Note: Opening with the key may be necessary if batteries are depleted or the Entry Code is forgotten.

Closing/Locking the Safe:

Close the door, then turn the knob counterclockwise to lock.
Important: Always keep the safe closed and locked when unattended. Check inside before closing to prevent child entrapment. Keep keys and codes away from children.

Installation:

Preparation: Verify the installation surface has no hidden utility lines. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles. Keep the area clean and well lit, and keep bystanders away.
Location: Choose a location, then use a stud finder (not included) to locate studs 16" apart. Mark stud locations.
Wall Opening: Cut out a small section of drywall next to a stud, then check inside for electrical wiring or plumbing interference. Measure the back of the safe and transfer measurements to the wall. Cut along marked lines and remove drywall.
Placement: Place the safe into the hole, using shims if necessary.
Securing: Locate two mounting holes on each side. Secure the safe with fasteners rated to support the weight of the safe and its contents.
Warning: Do not cut or alter load-bearing studs to fit the safe, as this can cause structural damage or collapse. Professional installation is required if the wall is load-bearing.

Maintenance Features

Protection from Moisture: Protect the safe from moist or wet conditions to prevent electronic damage or steel corrosion.
Cleaning: Occasionally wipe the safe and keypad clean with a soft, dry cloth or brush.
Electronic Mechanism: Do not apply oil or other liquids on or near the electronic mechanism.
Key Lock Lubrication: If the key lock sticks, use graphite lubricant (e.g., pencil lead). Rub pencil lead over the key, insert it, and turn back and forth until the lock moves freely.
Replacement Parts: Replacement parts are not available for this item.
Serial Number: Record the serial number (or month and year of purchase if no serial number) in the manual for future reference.
