Wrong Try Limit and Penalty Time
The wrong try limit is the maximum number of consecutive failed entry attempts
that can occur before the lock temporarily shuts down (to prevent combination
tampering). The wrong try limit is programmable from 3-9 with a default of 3.
The penalty time is the time period for which the lock shuts down when the
wrong try limit is reached. For the Model 15xx, the shutdown time is program-
mable from 0 to 20 seconds with a factory set default of 20 seconds. The
maximum shutdown period for the Model 15xx is approximately 20 seconds.
Only managerial personnel are authorized to program these parameters.
During the shutdown period, the lock will not respond to any user actions. If you
attempt to power the lock during the shutdown, the lock will display two simulta-
neous flashes of the red LED to indicate an error condition. When the shutdown
period has elapsed, the lock will respond to user actions. Each additional wrong
try will result in the lock shutting down for the programmed penalty time. This
cycle will continue until a correct combination is entered.
Operational Modes
The PowerLever Door Lock will always be in one of two operational modes:
Shelved or Activated.
Shelved Mode
When a lock is shipped from the factory, it will be in the Shelved Mode. The
shelved mode enables the lock to be opened before the user has placed it in
service, activated it, and authorized users to open it. Shelved mode is also use-
ful when a lock is to be temporarily removed from service and stored.
Note: The lock should be placed in shelved mode to assure that it can be
opened and placed back in service when desired without having to retrieve old
combinations.
While in the shelved mode, the lock will be set up for entry only by the Master
User via a combination of all 0's. Within the Shelved Mode, the Master User
can:
• Define User ID and PIN lengths.
• Specify re-lock, wrong try limit, and wrong try penalty times.
• Set the lock in Passage or Entrance Function to Locked or Unlocked.
• Change the Master User combination to activate the lock.

If a lock has been Activated and then is Shelved, all users are removed except
for the Master User. The Master User's combination is returned by the Shelving
to the default of all 0's. Values that are retained in the lock once it is Shelved
are as follows:
• User ID & PIN lengths
• Re-lock, Wrong Try Limit, and Wrong Try Penalty Times
Activated Mode
Once the Master User combination has been changed from all 0's, the lock is
placed in the Activated Mode. In activated mode, the Master User can add the
Manager User, Access Users, and Service User to the lock. Each type of per-
sonnel activated in the lock has the full range of capability described within this
guide while the lock is in Activated Mode.
Note: Whenever the Master User changes his combination back to all 0's, the
lock returns to Shelved Mode.
Getting Started
This section identifies lock setup activities and startup operations.
We recommend that you follow the steps outlined below to ensure proper setup
of your lock. Before you start lock setup, check basic lock operation by opening
