NOTE! The data carriers must be coded accordingly for the duration of use function (the corresponding config bits on the data carrier must be set). The GL7p must also be configured for the function (see section “5.4.4. Duration of Use ”). There are two configuration modes for the function: - Absolute duration of use (“Duration”...
The time on the data carrier is checked and the current time written onto the data carrier. b) Invalid data carrier: The LED flashes blue briefly and then red and the GL7p switches off without completing the locking action. Possible reasons for this include: - Another locker has already been locked using the data carrier.
Valid data carrier: The LED flashes blue briefly and then green and the action (lock/unlock) is carried out. b) Invalid data carrier: The LED flashes blue briefly and then red and the GL7p switches off without completing the locking action.
For lockers operating in “personal locker programming card” mode, up to 32 data carriers and/or 32 PIN codes per GL7p can be authorized for use. These 32 data carriers and/or 32 PIN codes can be used with the locker as often as required and share the same authorization access, e.g., for use as family cards.

- BLOCKING data carrier 6.5 Summary of System Data Carriers The data carriers included in the GAT ECO.Basic Set are required to configure and maintain a GL7p equipped locker system. The system data carriers are coded to function with specific installations and will only function with the respective system.
OPEN MASTER Data Carrier (Optional Accessory) The OPEN MASTER data carriers can unlock any GL7p in a system. If a user’s data carrier is lost, an emergency opening of the corresponding locker can be carried out using an OPEN MASTER data carrier. Compared to the MASTER data carrier, the OPEN MASTER data carrier cannot lock the locker after it has been opened.
APP KEY Data Carrier The APP KEY data carrier is required to configure the GL7p using the MoLA app. This app can be installed on mobile devices with an Android operating system. When the lock is in factory mode and configured for the first time, the APP KEY is not needed.
6.6 Summary of GL7p Signalization The electronics of the GL7p are activated when the lock button is pressed in. The activation is signaled by the LED at the top of the GL7p (LED flashes blue). Immediately thereafter, the following lock states are signaled via the same LED and the integrated beeper.
