BURG-WÄCHTER SecuTronic Operating Instructions

Introduction

Dear customer, thank you for choosing a safe with a BURG-WÄCHTER SecuTronic lock. This electronic lock is certified according to ECB Class A and developed according to current technical standards, including EN 1300:2018 for high-security locks. Please read this entire manual before programming and keep it safe for future reference. We hope you enjoy your new BURG-WÄCHTER safe.

Design and Input

The SecuTronic lock features several key components for operation:

• Display: Shows status, menu options, and input prompts.
• Number Keys: Labeled '0' through '9', used for entering codes and data.
• [Func] Key: A multifunction key used to go back one menu level, delete an entered character, or show the Main Menu. The display indicates its current function.
• [On/Enter] Key: Activates the system or selects the current menu item.
• [1] Key: Used to scroll up through menu options when available, indicated by an [up arrow] on the display.
• [2] Key: Used to scroll down through menu options when available, indicated by a [down arrow] on the display.

Input Options: The lock uses the number keys for code entry and the [Func] key for navigation and selection, similar to the descriptions above.

Diagram Description (Design): The design shows the electronic lock unit with a keypad (numbers 0-9, [Func], [On/Enter]), a display screen, and a mounting bracket. The keypad layout is standard numeric with additional function keys.

General Information

Activation

The electronics are activated by pressing the [On/Enter] key on the keyboard, which illuminates the keypad. The BURG-WÄCHTER logo appears briefly on the display before the PIN code or fingerprint input graphic is shown.

Languages

The menu navigation is available in multiple languages and can be set via the "Languages" menu. Refer to the "Menu Language" chapter for detailed instructions.

Blocking Times

For security, the lock electronics will block access for five minutes after three consecutive incorrect PIN entries. Each subsequent incorrect entry extends the blocking time by ten minutes. A countdown timer is displayed during the blocking period, during which the safe cannot be opened even with a valid code.

Increasing Burglary Protection

To enhance security:

• Store codes securely, accessible only to authorized persons.
• Change the factory code immediately upon commissioning the lock.
• Avoid easily guessable codes (e.g., 1-2-3-4-5-6).
• Do not use personal data like birthdays as codes.
• Always test the lock multiple times with the safe door open after changing a code.

Attention: All code changes (administrator, factory, user) must be performed with the safe door open. After a code change, operate the lock several times with the new code while the door is open.
