The Yale Conexis® Smart Lock L2 is an advanced smart lock system designed for residential use, offering enhanced security and convenience through its integration with the Yale Access ecosystem. This user manual provides comprehensive instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance of the lock.

Function Description:

The Conexis® Smart Lock L2 is a keyless entry system that replaces traditional door handles and cylinders. It allows users to lock and unlock their doors using various methods, including key cards, key tags, and the Yale Access App. When integrated with the Yale Access Module and Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, the lock offers remote access control, activity monitoring, and the ability to grant virtual keys to others. The system is designed to be user-friendly, with clear indicators for lock status and battery levels. It also incorporates a DoorSense™ sensor to detect whether the door is open or closed, adding an extra layer of security and functionality. The lock is handed during installation, ensuring proper operation for both left and right-handed doors.

Important Technical Specifications:

The Conexis® Smart Lock L2 is powered by 4 x AA alkaline batteries. It is compatible with door thicknesses ranging from 44-50mm, 58-65mm, and 70mm, requiring specific fixing packs (B, C, or D) based on the door's dimensions. The tailbar length also varies depending on the distance between the lock's center and the inside of the door, with options for short (21mm-41mm) and long (41mm-51mm) tailbars. The lock features a backup 9V battery contact for emergency power in case the main batteries deplete. It communicates wirelessly with the Yale Access Module and Connect Wi-Fi Bridge, enabling smart home integration. The product is declared to be in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU, ensuring it meets European Union standards for radio equipment. It also carries the BSI KITEMARK™ for Internet of Things - Residential, indicating adherence to high security and quality standards for smart home devices.

Usage Features:

Multiple Unlocking Methods: Users can unlock the door using a Yale Key Card or Key Tag by tapping it on the outside handle under the Yale logo. For smart functionality, the Yale Access App allows unlocking via a smartphone.
Yale Access App Integration: The Yale Access App (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store) is central to the lock's smart features. It enables users to set up their device, add and remove key cards/tags, monitor door activity, and remotely lock/unlock the door when connected to the Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge.
Handing the Lock: A crucial step during installation, the lock configures itself by locking and unlocking after the "R" button is held for 15 seconds. This ensures correct operation based on the door's handing. An alignment issue is indicated by 8 related beeps and a red light, prompting re-installation.
DoorSense™ Technology: The included DoorSense™ sensor detects whether the door is open or closed, providing real-time status updates through the Yale Access App and enhancing security by preventing accidental locking of an open door.
Emergency Power: In case of complete battery depletion, a 9V battery can be temporarily connected to the backup contacts on the outside handle to provide power and unlock the door.
Smart Home Compatibility: The Conexis® Smart Lock L2 is designed to work with popular smart home ecosystems, as indicated by "works with alexa," "works with Hey Google," and "Works with SmartThings" logos, offering broader integration possibilities.

Maintenance Features:

Battery Indicator: The lock provides clear battery status indicators. A "Low Battery" state is signaled by "Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep..." sounds and a notification through the Yale Access App and via text message.
Battery Replacement: When the batteries are low, they should be replaced with 4 x AA alkaline batteries. The manual provides step-by-step instructions for accessing the battery compartment by removing the radio cover and then the battery cover.
Factory Reset: A factory reset can be performed to clear all settings and user data from the lock. This process involves disconnecting the cable, pressing and holding the "R" button, and then inserting batteries while continuing to hold the button until a continuous "beeping" sound is heard. It is important to factory reset the lock in the Yale Access App before performing a physical factory reset of the escutcheons.
Installation Checklist: A comprehensive checklist is provided to ensure all installation and setup steps are correctly completed before shutting the door. This includes verifying app connectivity, smooth motor operation, proper lever handle function, and successful unlocking with key cards/tags.
Troubleshooting Alignment: If the lock struggles to operate after handing, the manual directs users to re-check the actuator installation and alignment, emphasizing the importance of the alignment tool during screw tightening to ensure the motor is correctly positioned.

The Yale Conexis® Smart Lock L2 is a robust and feature-rich smart lock solution, designed for ease of use and integration into modern smart homes, backed by a 2-year guarantee.
