- Biometric Keypad (FPC-1808 Entypad): The primary interface for fingerprint and code entry.
- Electronic Swing Bolt Lock Body (EL-0601): The mechanical component that secures the safe door.
- Battery: One 9V alkaline battery (not included).
- Mounting Hardware: Screws and other components for installation (typically included with the safe or lock kit).
4. Setup
4.1 Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment, typically on the underside or rear of the keypad.
- Release the lever or slide the cover to open the compartment.
- Insert a new 9V alkaline battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the battery compartment securely.
- The lock will typically emit a beep or light up to indicate successful battery installation.
4.2 Initial Programming and User Enrollment
The SECURAM BSL-0601 supports up to 3 user codes, with each code allowing for 5 associated fingerprints, totaling 15 fingerprints. It is crucial to perform initial programming with the safe door open.
- Change the Default Reset Code: The very first step is to change the factory default reset code to a personal administrator code. Refer to the detailed programming instructions provided with your lock for the specific sequence.
- Enroll Administrator Fingerprint: Using the newly set administrator code, enroll the primary user's fingerprint(s). The system will guide you through placing your finger on the sensor multiple times for accurate registration.
- Add User Codes and Fingerprints: Follow the programming instructions to add additional user codes and their associated fingerprints. An administrator fingerprint or code is required to add new users.
- Set Time Delay (Optional): If desired, program a time delay (0-99 minutes) and a time window (0-20 minutes) for added security. This feature prevents immediate access after entering a code or scanning a fingerprint.
- Test Operation: After programming, test all enrolled fingerprints and codes multiple times with the safe door open to ensure they function correctly before closing the safe.

Image 4.2.1: ScanLogic Basic Overview
This document provides a summary of the ScanLogic Basic Biometric Safe Lock, which includes the BSL-0601 keypad. It details features such as fast 1-second fingerprint access, support for up to 15 fingerprints, 3 codes, battery operation, UL approval, and compatibility with various lock bodies (SwingBolt, DeadBolt, SpringBolt, StrikeBolt).
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Opening with Fingerprint
- Place an enrolled finger flat on the fingerprint sensor located at the top of the keypad.
- Hold your finger steadily for approximately 1 second.
- The lock will emit a beep and/or a green light will illuminate, indicating successful verification.
- Rotate the safe handle to open the door.
5.2 Opening with Code
- Enter your 6-digit access code using the numerical keypad.
- The lock will emit a beep and/or a green light will illuminate upon successful code entry.
- Rotate the safe handle to open the door.
5.3 Locking the Safe
To lock the safe, simply close the safe door and rotate the handle to the locked position. The BSL-0601 automatically engages the locking mechanism when the handle is rotated, eliminating the need for additional button presses.
5.4 Time Delay and Time Window
If programmed, the time delay feature will prevent the safe from opening immediately after a successful code or fingerprint entry. During the delay period, the lock will remain engaged. Once the delay period expires, a time window will activate, during which the safe can be opened. If the safe is not opened within the time window, the lock will re-engage, and the access process must be repeated.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Battery Replacement
The BSL-0601 features a low battery alert. When the battery is low, the lock will indicate this through specific beeps or light patterns (refer to your lock's specific signals). Replace the battery promptly to avoid lockout. Follow the steps outlined in Section 4.1 for battery installation.
6.2 Cleaning
To clean the keypad and fingerprint sensor, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the electronic components and finish.
7. Troubleshooting
- Lock does not respond: Check battery level. Replace with a new 9V alkaline battery if necessary. Ensure battery is installed with correct polarity.
- Fingerprint not recognized: Ensure your finger is clean and dry. Place your entire finger pad flat on the sensor. Try re-enrolling your fingerprint if issues persist. The self-learning function improves recognition over time.
- Code not accepted: Ensure you are entering the correct 6-digit code. If multiple incorrect entries occur, the lock may enter a penalty lockout period. Wait for the lockout period to expire before trying again.
- Safe will not open after successful entry: Check if a time delay or time window is active. Ensure the safe handle is fully rotated to engage the bolt. If the mechanical bolt mechanism feels stiff, it might require adjustment or lubrication by a qualified technician.
- Lock mechanism failure: In rare cases, the electronic locking mechanism may fail. If the lock becomes unresponsive even after battery replacement and troubleshooting, contact SECURAM customer support or a certified safe technician. Avoid attempting to force the safe open, as this can cause further damage.
