ENFORCER SL Access App User Manual

Getting Started

To use the SL Access app with your ENFORCER Bluetooth® Access Controller, you will need:

• An ENFORCER® Bluetooth® Access Controller. (An image shows the SK-B241-PQ model, with a note that various models are available.)
• A smartphone equipped with Bluetooth® LE 4.0.
• The SL Access app (supports iOS 11.0 and later or Android 5.0 and later).
• If your device includes a proximity reader, you may also use a proximity card or key fob. Consult your installer or administrator if these are available.

Download and Install the App

Download the SL Access app and install it on your phone. You can find it on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

NOTES:

• Be sure to set your smartphone to automatically download app updates so that you always have the latest version of the app.
• The app will appear in your device's default language if available. If the app does not support your device language, it will default to English.

SL Access Home Screen

On the home screen, you will see the following elements:

• The "Login" icon: [Login Icon] (typically a user silhouette)
• The "Device Name": Displays the name of the connected access controller (e.g., "Main Entrance").
• The "Settings" icon: [Settings Icon] (gear symbol)
• The "Current Device Distance": Shows the distance to the device with a number (e.g., "8").
• The "Locked" icon: A visual indicator showing the current lock status (e.g., a red circular graphic when locked).
• The "Auto" selector: A radio button to enable or disable automatic unlocking.
• The "Auto Proximity Range": Displays the current setting for automatic unlocking range (e.g., "20").
• The app version: The current version number of the SL Access app (e.g., "1.30").

(The original document shows a screenshot of the app interface with these elements highlighted by numbered callouts.)

Connecting to a Device

When the app is opened, it may display a "Searching..." message while it looks for nearby ENFORCER Bluetooth® Access Controllers.

If your desired device is not shown at the top of the screen, tap that area to open a device selection list. In the popup, select the device you wish to log in to.

NOTES:

• The device with the strongest signal will appear in black text at the top of the screen. If no device appears, move closer to the device.
• After selecting a device, its name will change to a gold-colored font to show that it has been specifically selected.

Logging In

To log in to an access controller:

1. Click the "Login" icon [Login Icon] in the top left corner of the home screen.
2. A "Log In" prompt will appear. Enter the User ID and Passcode assigned by your administrator.
3. Click "Confirm".

NOTES:

• Upon successful login, you should see the center icon moving and hear a short beep with a popup message saying "You are now logged in."
• Even after you log in, the "Login" icon will still be present, and there is no other visual indication that you are logged in on the main screen.
• You can also use your passcode to unlock the door directly using the keypad if your device includes one. Simply type the passcode followed by the "#" key.

Basic Operation

To unlock a door using the app:

1. Ensure that the correct device appears at the top of the home screen.
2. Press the center "Locked" button [Locked Icon].

The icon will change to "Unlocked" [Unlocked Icon], and the door will remain unlocked for the duration set by the administrator.

NOTE: The "Unlocked" icon will remain on screen for approximately 5 seconds. The actual time that the door remains unlocked is determined by the administrator and may not correspond to the icon's status.

Auto Operation

For hands-free operation, open the app and select "Auto" from the bottom of the home screen. The "Auto" setting automatically unlocks the door when your phone is within the set proximity range.

NOTES:

• You should see the center icon moving and hear a short beep with a popup saying "You are now logged in."
• The app must be loaded, and your phone screen must be on for automatic unlocking to function.
• If you have more than one keypad/reader, ensure the correct one is connected.
• It is important that you adjust the proximity range for your particular phone and environment in the settings to avoid accidental unlocking.

Settings

Click on the "Settings" icon [Settings Icon] on the home page to open the settings page.

From the settings page, you can get access to help and other information, and set the "Auto Proximity Range".

NOTES:

• The "Auto" button must be turned off to access the "Settings."
• The "Help" link will take you to SECO-LARM's website support page where you can download this manual or find other help.
• The "Legal Notices and Privacy Policy" link takes you to SECO-LARM's website.
• The "About" link shows SECO-LARM contact information and the app version.

Set Auto Proximity Range

To adjust the automatic unlocking range:

1. On the "Settings" page, click on the "Auto Proximity Range" line.
2. To set the "Auto Proximity Range," click and move the slider to the desired setting.

NOTES:

• The "Auto Proximity Range" applies only to the app's "Auto Unlock" feature and has no effect on the range of proximity cards/fobs.
• The "Current Device Distance" shows the distance as a relative number based on the current Bluetooth signal strength and may vary with different phones.
• Hold your phone at the approximate distance where you would like the device to automatically unlock and note the number for the "Current Device Distance."
• Move the slider for the "Auto Proximity Range" to the number noted.

• The Device area continues to say "Searching":
  • Make sure that your phone's Bluetooth is turned on.
  • Move closer to the device.
