• Electronic Deadbolt Assembly
• Mounting Hardware
• Keys (for key override)
• Installation Template (if provided)

Pre-Installation Checks:

1. Verify door thickness and backset measurements are compatible with the deadbolt.
2. Ensure the door frame is structurally sound and capable of securing the deadbolt strike plate.
3. Confirm all necessary holes are drilled in the door according to the provided template. Some installations may require drilling a second hole.

Installation Steps:

Follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate installation guide or template included with your product. Key steps typically involve:

1. Install the deadbolt latch into the door edge.
2. Mount the exterior keypad assembly, ensuring the spindle aligns correctly with the latch mechanism.
3. Install the interior assembly, connecting any necessary cables and securing it to the exterior unit.
4. Install batteries (not included) into the designated compartment.
5. Test the deadbolt operation manually and electronically.

Note: Pay close attention to the orientation of the lock components, especially for left-hand or right-hand door configurations, as incorrect orientation can lead to malfunction.

Operating Instructions

Initial Programming:

Upon first use, you will need to set up a Master Code. This code is essential for programming and managing all other access codes. Refer to the specific programming instructions for your model, as the sequence of key presses can vary.

Adding User Codes:

The Eplex E1500 supports up to 100 unique access codes. To add a new user code:

1. Enter the Master Code.
2. Follow the prompts to enter the new user code (typically 4-8 digits).
3. Confirm the new user code.

It is recommended to keep a written record of all assigned codes and their corresponding users for security and management purposes.

Unlocking the Deadbolt:

• Using a Code: Enter a valid access code on the keypad, followed by the '#' key (or designated activation key). The deadbolt will retract, allowing the door to be opened.
• Using the Key Override: Insert the physical key into the hidden keyhole (located behind the name plug/cover) and turn to unlock.

Locking the Deadbolt:

• Automatic Locking: The deadbolt may be configured to automatically lock after a set period once closed.
• Manual Locking: Press the '*' key (or designated lock key) on the keypad, or turn the interior thumb-turn.

Audit Trail:

The Eplex E1500 can store up to 1,000 audit events, recording successful and unsuccessful access attempts. Consult the full programming guide for instructions on how to retrieve and interpret audit trail data.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement:

The electronic deadbolt is powered by batteries (typically AA or 9V, refer to product specifications for exact type). When battery power is low, the lock will usually provide an audible or visual warning. Replace all batteries simultaneously with new, high-quality alkaline batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.

Cleaning:

Clean the exterior of the deadbolt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the satin chrome finish and electronic components.

Lubrication:

Periodically check the mechanical components, such as the latch bolt and cylinder. If they appear stiff, apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a silicone-based spray lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and debris.
