- Initial Setup: Start with one cylinder and expand your locking system as needed, up to 25 cylinders and 99 keys.
- Granting/Revoking Access: Use the Masterkey in conjunction with the app to grant or revoke access rights for individual user keys.
- Lost Key Management: In case of a lost key, use the Masterkey and the app to quickly remove its access rights, maintaining the security of your system.
5.3. Event Logging
The cylinder's controller, equipped with a real-time clock, logs the last 2000 locking events, including date and time. This event journal can be accessed via the blueCompact app for security monitoring.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Battery Life and Replacement
The cylinder operates on a Lithium BR 1/2 AA battery. The battery life supports up to 120,000 locking cycles or up to 10 years in standby mode.
The system provides warnings regarding battery status. When the battery needs replacement, follow the instructions in the blueCompact app or the detailed installation guide.

If the battery is completely depleted and you have missed the low battery warnings, the cylinder can still be opened using the Masterkey or any active blueCompact Winkhaus keys that have their own internal battery.
7. Troubleshooting
- Cylinder not responding: Check battery status. If the battery is low or empty, use the Masterkey or an active blueCompact key with its own battery.
- Key not granting access: Verify access rights via the blueCompact app using the Masterkey. Ensure the key is properly registered and its access has not been revoked.
- App not functioning: Ensure your smartphone is not "manipulated" (e.g., rooted or jailbroken), as the app has security measures against such devices. Check for app updates.
- Difficulty installing: Refer to the installation videos available in the blueCompact app or on YouTube. Ensure the fixing screw is correctly aligned and tightened.
