6.2 Lock Maintenance and Diagnostics

Lock Diagnostics (Lights)
The InSync locks have an LED (Light Emitting Diode) located above the lock port. When a key is used,
the LED will flash, providing information to the user. Listed below are the LED patterns and a description
of what they indicate.
One Green Flash – indicates that a correct key was used.
One Green followed by Six Red Flashes – indicates that the lock batteries are low.
Three Green Flashes – indicates that the lock is unable to communicate with the key.
Three Red Flashes – indicates that an incorrect key was used in the lock
Note: An expired key, a wrong key, or a key that was never encoded could have been used.
Three Red followed by Three Green Flashes – indicates that the key is an old key and new key was
used to invalidate the key
Three Red followed by Two Green Flashes – indicates that the clock in the lock needs to be reset.
No Lights – Indicates that the lock batteries are dead
Clock Maintenance
Every InSync Lock has its own clock built into the unit. This internal clock is set with the proper time and
date by the SAM RF System utility device when the lock is first programmed. To ensure accuracy, it is
recommended the date and time in the locks be updated once a year. The utility device is used to update
the clock (refer to Resetting the Date/Time in Locks later in this section).
Lock Environmental Considerations
InSync Locks are operable in normal environmental conditions. Extreme weather conditions may have a
temporary adverse effect on operation.
Checking Lock Batteries
Rather than waiting for a low battery indication, it is recommended that you perform periodic preventive
lock maintenance. To check the battery condition, use the SAM RF System to set the utility device to "Get
Lock Info" (see Section 6.4) or to create a "Battery Check Key" (see Section 5.17 "Creating Battery Check
Keys").
Low Battery Indication
Every time an access key is used in a lock, the lock will do a self-check on its battery condition. A low
battery indication will occur when the battery voltage drops below 5.0 volts.
After the lock first senses a low battery, the light will flash green followed by six red flashes. If your lock
has the optional buzzer, each flash will be accompanied by the buzzer sounding. This will occur with
every use of the key until the batteries are changed (approximately 100 lock openings/closings).
