Operating the flexx without proxSafe terminal If you intend to operate your flexx system without a proxSafe terminal, it is mandatory to set the jumper J1 on the flexx backplane (jumper closed, as shown in the picture below).
Ethernet adapter. Depending on your order you will find an Ethernet adapter, e.g. Digi Connect ® (in the following only „DigiCon“) within the package. The following steps show, how to install the DigiCon directly onto the proxSafe flexx backplane and how to set the jumpers: 3.8.1 Install Digi Connect ME ®...

Return the backplane PCB to its position and Connect the DigiCon to your network with carefully click it back on the plastic studs. the network cable, which has been guided through the cable outlet before mounting your flexx to the wall (see also 3.4 „Mount flexx to the wall“).
3.8.2 Network connection with proxSafe terminal For standard operation of the flexx using the proxSafe terminal, you have to take care, that: the two cables coming from the terminal („Master“ and „Slave“) are correctly ● connected to the backplane PCB (see 3.11 „Connect terminal to backplane PCB“) the network cable is correctly connected to the DigiCon (see 3.8.1, picture 6)
3.8.3 Network connection without proxSafe terminal If you choose to operate the flexx without using the proxSafe terminal, you may connect the PC directly to the backplane PCB. In this case you should take care, that: the network cable is correctly connected to the DigiCon (see 3.8.1, picture 6) ●...
Operating the flexx without Ethernet Network If you choose to operate your flexx system directly controlled by a (local) PC without using a network connection, your delivery will include a USB adapter, e.g. SNG 3. Now you have several possibilities to connect your (local) PC, also depending on if you want to operate your flexx system with or without a proxSafe terminal.
3.9.2 Connect PC with proxSafe terminal via backplane PCB The second option for operating the flexx system using the proxSafe terminal without network connection is to directly connect the PC to the backplane PCB. For this connect the SNG 3 as follows:...
3.9.3 Connect PC with backplane PCB not using a proxSafe terminal If you choose to operate your flexx system without network connection and without using the proxSafe terminal, you can connect the PC directly to the backplane PCB. The setting of the dip switches on the SNG 3 depends on one hand on how many flexx systems (i.e.
3.11 Connect terminal to backplane PCB In order to establish a connection between the terminal and the backplane proceed as shown in the picture below: Plug the two supplied cables coming from the terminal into the backplane PCB: Cable “Master”...
Important: The functions of the red and green LEDs described above refer to operation of the flexx system with the proxSafe terminal! Only the yellow status LED indicating the standard operating mode will be active as long as the power is turned on, even if the system is being operated without the proxSafe terminal! 3.13...
3.14 Install/Activate tamper switches The proxSafe flexx is equipped with two different tamper switches. The right internal tamper switch (a) in picture 1 below) is connected to the input „Tamper Wall“ on the flexx backplane PCB. It has a small metal strap used as a wall contact (see picture below).

3.15 Connect power supply and back-up battery Your proxSafe flexx system needs a supply voltage of 13.8 V in order to charge the back- up battery during operation. If you prefer operating without back-up battery, it is sufficient to supply the system with 12 V/DC.
3.16 Install further flexx housings If you wish to install further flexx housings, connect both flexx backplane PCBs as follows: (A = this flexx, B = next flexx) 2. (a) For power supply connect: For data transfer connect as follows: backplane A “Power Out”...
4. Assembling a proxSafe keyRing For a proxSafe keyRing you need one ring, Put one or more keys on the keyRing. one keyTag and one pair of one-time seals. And the keys you want to attach. Place the keyRing into the keyTag.

Addressing of flexx housings After having created the administrator card, the terminal will start the addressing procedure for the flexx housings. If you operate only one flexx with your terminal, you can skip this procedure by pressing the red key <C>. The terminal will then continue with teaching-in the keyTags (see 5.4 „Teach-in of keyTags).
Repeat this procedure with all flexx housings. If all keys have been inserted into the flexx housings, your proxSafe flexx system is ready for test operation. Test Operation With the above procedure you have created a minimum key management system with the following specifications: •...
6. Emergency Unlock of proxCylinders If normal operation failed (e.g. the processor does not work) to get the keyTags out, there is a possibility of unlocking each single proxCylinder by hand for manual keyTag release. In this case the service door of the flexx has to be opened first (see 3.2 Open flexx). Each single proxCylinder is equipped with a little metal lever on its own, which can easily be reached from the inside.
7. Regulatory Notices Hereby, deister electronic declares that the radio equipment type flexx is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: http://go.deister.com/ce Approved for use in all European countries.
