Series 16000 Three-Movement Timelock Directions
for Locking
Introduction: TMI
series 16000 Timelocks are designed to provide the ultimate in
protection with combined ease of operation and durability. Our
timelock utilizes three movements (some may be equipped with two) to
provide “redundant safety. It only requires one (1) movement to
unlock your new timelock. In
the event that one movement fails, the timelock will still function
correctly, unlocking at the pre-set time. Never lock your timelock
with only one movement functioning.
If you have any doubt as to the functionality of your timelock,
contact the installing company or manufacturer of your equipment prior
to locking the door.
Locking Procedure -
Mechanical Movements
-
Determine the number of
desired locking hours. Example: The time of locking is 5PM and
the desired time for unlocking is 7:AM the following day. This equals
14 hours of locking time.
-
Using the supplied winding
key, wind each movement for the predetermined locking hours. A
“pointer “ which reflects the movements’ locking hours is
usually located at the 1:30 position to the right of the movement.
Note: Each movement in the 16000 series housing must be wound
before any attempt is made to lock your timelock.
-
Depress the actuator
lever, located in the bottom center of the front cover. Considerable
resistance will be noted. This condition is normal and part of the
locking function.
-
Ascertain that all
movements are running correctly by visibly checking the action of the
balance wheels, located at the top of each movement. If there are not
at least two (2) functioning movements, move the “Release” lever,
located on the far right side of the movement laterally in the
direction indicated by the arrow. This action will immediately unlock
the timelock and leave it in a safe condition until qualified repair
personnel can be summoned.
-
If
all movements (or at least two) are functioning correctly, close the
door and fully extend the locking bolts of your safe or vault.
Attempt to retract your containers locking bolts.
Retraction beyond small movement of the handle should be
impaired by the timelock. Return
the handle to the fully locked position and ascertain that the
combination lock or locks are secure by turning each dial at least
three times in the normal locking direction for each lock.
Locking
Procedures - Time Only Electronic Movements
Electronic
series # 114E movements are dealt with in the same manner as
mechanical movements. Follow
steps one through five as outlined.
There are several special considerations:
-
Non-reset 114E movements must have their locking hours
installed and set within a one (1) minute window. If you set these movements incorrectly and do not have final,
correct locking hours installed you will have one of two choices.
If there are three movements in the case and you only set
one incorrectly, continue with the normal locking procedure,
provided the movement was set incorrectly with excessive locking
hours. Option two is
to remove the front cover and remove the battery retainer. Power
down the movement and reinstall the power cell. Reassemble the
front cover and start again. Note: if you are unsure, do not
lock your container.
-
Electronic
movements are designed to prevent a lockout in the event of
battery power failure. These
movements will not allow you to arm them if the movement detects a
low-power condition. A
battery symbol will appear in the lower right corner of the LCD
display, indicating that it is time to change the power cell.
If you have a low battery indication on one, it is safe to
assume that all three should be replaced.
Annually, qualified service personnel should carry out a
complete inspection and battery replacement.
Locking procedures for
Weekly-Programmable Movements
Weekly-Programmable
Movements are pre-set to specific opening times for an entire week at
a time. This program is
redundant and does not require any hour calculations.
In function, all that is required is that you wind each
movement counter-clockwise until resistance during winding is no
longer detected. The
movement’s LCD display will than indicate the next open time.
You have exactly one (1) minute to access programs 1,2 or 3
during this setting window. Follow
the provided directions when accessing, setting up or changing
batteries on this type and style movement.
