TIPS
Use the same Master
Construction Credential for
all the locks in the facility.
If you present the fi rst card
to a new lock to create
the Master Construction
Credential and the card is
not accepted, the lock has
either been programmed
or already has a Master
Construction Credential.
If the Master Construction
Credential cannot be
located, or to put the lock
back into construction
access mode, reset the
lock to factory settings.
See Resetting to Factory
Defaults on page 6 for
more information.
