6.7 Opening a Lock With a Dead Battery

The SAM RF System offers you two options for accessing a lock with a dead battery. The utility device
when set to act as a Battery Backup (see information below) is one option. The SAM RF System is also
available with an external power supply (EPS) unit that will also open a lock (see "EPS Unit" later in this
section).
Option 1: Battery Backup
1. Be sure that the PC is turned on, the electronic key encoder device is plugged in an electrical outlet
and the USB cable between them is properly attached (see Section 2.5 "Installing the Key Encoder
and Utility Device").
2. To initialize the utility device to be
used as the battery backup, point to
the Utility Device pull-down menu
and select Battery Backup.
Note: You must keep
all USB cables
connected between the
electronic key encoder
base, the utility device and the PC while
the key image spins on the PC screen.
3. The PC screen will display, "The write operation
was successful!" Click OK.
4. Disconnect the USB cable located on the back left hand side of the electronic key encoder base. The
USB cable must remain attached to the top of the utility device. Remove the utility device with the
USB cable attached and take it to the lock.
Note: You will also need to take a valid key for the lock.
5. The utility device screen will display,
"Battery Backup."
