Why isn't my lock responding to any keycards?
The keycard was not properly encoded, was not encoded for that lock, has been cancelled
by a newer keycard, has expired or has been canceled by a Group Lockout or a Reset
keycard. Alternatively, the lock time may not have been reset following a battery
replacement (see Section 5.6 – Resetting Lock Time), or the lock may be malfunctioning.
See the foregoing section on Troubleshooting.
What are the time zones for?
The time zone feature allows keycards to be valid only during certain hours of the day.
See Sections 4.6.7.1 – Fixed Time Zones, 4.6.7.2 – Flexible Time Zones, and 5.5 –
Remote Access Controller (RAC) Models 3.5, 4 & 4XT Flexible Time Zones. Note that
there are two types of time zones, Fixed time zones which apply to locks only, and
Flexible time zones that apply only to RAC models 3.5, 4 & 4XT.
How do I transfer the addresses from the old lock or a lock on a nearby door, to a
replacement lock that has just been installed?
After setting the lock time, use the "Reset Addresses" function in the programming menu
on the FDU.
How do I invalidate a lost GMA keycard?
Make a new GMA keycard with the same authorization number and swipe it through all
the Front Desk Units on the property, including the FDU used to encode the new keycard.
Why is the Front Desk Unit screen blank?
The contrast may be too low. See Section 3.5.1 – Adjusting the Contrast and Volume.
How long will the Front Desk Unit hold its charge in case of a power outage?
The battery pack will provide power for about 8 hours on 50% operating duty or 4 hours
of constant use.
Why don't the keycards made by one of my Front Desk Units work in the locks,
even though keycards made on another FDU work properly?
Try synchronizing the malfunctioning FDU with another FDU that is working properly.
Transfer the settings from the working FDU to the malfunctioning FDU. See Section
3.5.4 – Transferring Date to Another FDU.
I just received a new FDU. How do I set it up to work with my existing system?
Charge the FDU overnight, and then transfer the settings from another FDU (see Section
3.5.4 – Transferring Date to Another FDU). Use the GMA keycard attached to the new
FDU to set it to receive data.
