Has red and green for additional lock status indication. Incorporates RF receiver; and three override buttons for temporary disabling functionality. The RF receiver is located within the control panel.
  • RFID tab (1008) - small passive device. Must be held in close proximity to the RFID reader (106);
  • RF fob (1007) - active transmitting device (uses battery power). Also has passive RFID transponder incorporated in case of battery cell failure;
  • RF master fob (1007) - active transmitting device. Uses battery power. Also has passive RFID transponder incorporated in case of battery cell failure. Incorporates fold out physical key; and
  • the system comprises a relock function which may be set by the home owner in the system setup menu. In effect it allows the door lock to be set to emulate either of the two main types of door lock, i.e. a night latch or a deadbolt lock.
  • night latch - a lock which automatically locks when the door is shut. Manually operated from inside (and usually by a key from the outside). Usually provided with a stop knob to hold the latch bolt retracted. Often referred to as a YaleTM lock;
  • deadbolt lock a lock with bolt that, when locked, is fixed in position and cannot readily be pushed back into the lock case. Often referred to as a mortise lock.
  • the relock functionality is a setting in which the door lock (and solenoids if used) is automatically locked upon closing the door. Door lock also automatically locks once the frame handle is released e.g. after latched mode is disabled.
  • the relock function is different to, and is separate/independent from an autolock function. The following describes the operation of the security locking system with the relock function engaged with reference to figures 12 to 18C.
  • Relock yes - door automatically locks itself upon closing the door. Also relocks itself once the frame handle is released e.g. after latched mode is disabled.
  • Relock no - door needs to be actively locked by the user. • upon exiting the premises through the door, the lock bolt is thrown by pushing the 'lock' button on the key fob or swiping the RFID tab in front on the external RFID reader; • to lock the door from the inside, an RF fob lock button or a switch is used.

  • control Panel shows green LED.
  • control panel LCD reads 'locked'
  • control panel shows red LED.
  • the door is unlocked by either the RFID tab or the RF fob:
  • red external LED confirms door is in locked state; • if not re-locked or door opened, auto lock function after 20 seconds (can be user set e.g. 5, 10,15, 20 seconds or set to off i.e. no autolock); and
  • the occupant will try to use the door handle to exit the building through the door.
  • the door handle will be inactive due to either no RF signal being transmitted from it or a power/system/firmware failure in the control panel or main box.
  • the internal frame handle provides a direct mechanical link to the door lock bolt mechanism and ensures that any occupant can exit the door during system failure;
  • the main box incorporates a battery back-up that will allow the system to operate as normal for a limited time (1 week) in the event of a power failure. Should the power be restored, the system will revert to normal operation and the back-up battery will recharge to full capacity; and
  • the solenoids will operate for a limited duration only due to their power demands. After this duration, power is cut to the solenoids and their bolts are withdrawn (unlocked). The door is still locked by the main door bolt.
  • the door handle is pulled to open the door
  • Active RF fob battery dead • The door is unlocked or locked using the passive RFID tab integrated into the active fob housing. A physical key can also be used to unlock the house.
  • Additional security features include: two of the three buttons on the control panel that may be used to increase security. Each operates in a toggle manner, i.e. press once to activate, press again to de-activate:
  • handle guard temporarily disable the inner door handle so that children, sleepwalkers, dogs etc. cannot open the door one handed (or pawed or mouthed).
  • the parameters of the locking system may be determined and adjusted by a user via the main control panel.
  • the system is configured such that only the main key holder has authorisation to access the settings and to adjust the various parameters.
  • the main menu access to system setup and key management is controlled by a pin code:
  • autolock - door automatically locks after a specified time (5, 10, 15, 20 seconds) if not opened after being unlocked by a signal. Can be set to off so that the door does not lock after receiving a signal to unlock;
