Page 52: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If the handle does not engage after valid access from outside Problem description If the outside door handle cannot be used after valid access, it may be because the solenoid has ended up activated when it should not be. This can occur if the red transport protection marked REMOVE LAST was removed before the product was mounted on the door, or if the unit was moved from one door to another without resetting the solenoid and without using the transport protection.
Page 53 Troubleshooting Solution Reset the solenoid manually. Remove the unit from the door. Reset the solenoid to the inactive position. Insert a small flathead screwdriver into the hole where the red transport protection was located and poke the piston back up to its initial position.
Page 54: Loose Or Hanging Door Handle
Troubleshooting Loose or hanging door handle On delivery, the unit is configured for a right-hinged door. If it has been adapted for a left-hinged door, the spring may have jumped out of position. How to check Here you can see a gap between the cylinder and the unit.
Page 55 Troubleshooting Refit the spring Make sure that the lower leg of the spring is in the resistance hole in the cylinder housing. Grasp the cylinder with a polygrip, for example, and turn anticlockwise until the spring retainer and spring hop back into position.
