Schlage AD-Series Re-Classing Guide REV: 1.1 1 Introduction The AD-Series utilizes a modular architecture which allows for the re-classing of devices after leaving the factory and while in the field. Re-classing is the process by which an AD-Series device is able to change its hardware configuration and firmware programming in order to change the lock type from its factory condition.
Schlage AD-Series Re-Classing Guide REV: 1.1 2 Setup The following steps are the prerequisites to enable re-classing of an AD-Series device. NOTE: The re-classing procedures that follow in this document assume that these setup steps have already been performed. 2.1 Install a Credential Reader The credential reader is necessary for any AD-Series lock to communicate with the HHD.
