Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: When I try to upload the lock, I get an error "Not Found" on the i-Dat display.
A: The error "Not Found" indicates that the Lock ID is not in the Time Zone you are uploading and/or not entered into the software. Make sure the Lock ID is assigned in the software to the Time Zone you are trying to upload.
Q: Each time I try to upload or download , I get an error on the i-Dat.
A: The position of the i-Dat to the lock is critical and the infrared ports must be aligned correctly. Hold the i-Dat level just above the lever and centered left to right.
Q: I have entered in a Passage Schedule , now only managers have access.
A: Once you have implemented any scheduling you will need to grant non-management Users access times. Implementing an All-User, User or Group Schedule will solve this problem.
Q: I have uploaded a large number of Users and only some of the codes work.
A: You may have exceeded the maximum User capacity of the lock. The basic unit will allow 320 Users to be entered. For information on memory upgrades contact your distributor or Marks USA. ( Contact information on back cover )
Q: If I add a User at the door, will the software be updated?
A: No, for security reasons the information in the lock is overwritten by an i-Dat upload. Therefore, anything entered at the lock that is not present in the software database will be overwritten.
Q: I'm trying to assign a lock to a new Time Zone and I don't see the Lock ID in the available lock list.
A: This indicates that the lock is already assigned to a different Time Zone. The easiest way to find out what Time Zone that lock is assigned to is to run a report on Time Zone locks assigned. This will show you which locks are assigned to each Time Zone.
Q: The i-Dat batteries aren't lasting very long. Is the i-Dat defective?
A: No, the batteries in the i-Dat will last for about thirty hours of use, however their life is much shorter if the i-Dat is not allowed to go into battery saving mode. Press the button on the i-Dat so the "i-Dat version", date and time are showing. The i-Dat will (after 4 minutes) go into battery saving mode from this screen only.
Programming the Lock at the Keypad:
Important Definitions on the i-Que Lock
Factory Code: The factory code is 9991234. It is used to initialize the lock for a new installation or full reset. This code must be entered to set the Lock ID and the Great Grand Master ( GGM ). After the GGM code is set, the Factory Code will no longer be valid and is only re-enabled after a full reset.
Lock ID: A unique six digit number entered during initialization defining the specific lock. Used by i-Dat software to identify a specific lock when uploading user data or downloading audit trail data.
User Identification Number (UID): A unique number assigned to each User with 2, 3 or 4 digits.
Group: One or several Users, all of whom have the same access to the locks categorized by a 2 digit Group Number.
Personal Identification Number (PIN): A unique combination of 3, 4, 5 or 6 keypad letters, numbers or both. (Letters or numbers may be used multiple times to increase the total number of combinations.)
Your Code: Your unique combination of UID and PIN codes, in that order, having up to 10 digits.
Great Grand Master (GGM): Code required by the System Manager to perform all programming functions. It replaces the Factory Code . This code can also open the lock.
System Manager: Person establishing the GGM and responsible for highest level of programming. Can establish lower levels of programming for other Users or Groups.
Program Instruction: Series of key strokes used to enter a function.
Important Keys
Terminator Key(*): Acts like the "Enter" key on a computer, and is used to add or confirm codes on the keypad. This key is usually depressed after entering Your Code to unlock the i-Que , but can be disabled for this purpose as an option, see page 7.
Programming Key (#): After a valid "Your Code" is entered, this key is depressed to enter the programming mode. This key can also be used as a time saving feature, allowing the entry of multiple functions. At the end of any Programming Instruction , replace the last S with a # to return to Function Number input, eliminating the need to re-enter Your Code.
LED Indicator:
-
LED Indicating Green (Normal Mode):
- Denotes lock enabled to open. Will flash green after entering valid "Your Code" and Terminator Key (*)
• LED Indicating Red (Normal Mode):
- Denotes a wrong "Your Code" entry to open the lock.
- Denotes wrong "Your Code" entry 3 consecutive times and disables keypad for 20 seconds. If another wrong "Your Code" is entered, the keypad is disabled for 40 seconds.
• LED Indicating Red (Programming Mode):
- Denotes incorrect entry or error and vacates programming mode.
- Programming mode vacated if no key entry within 5 seconds.
Initialize Lock: Initializing the lock with a unique 6 digit code assigns a Lock ID number to each specific lock. Using keypad, enter the Factory Code (9991234) , the # key and the 6 digit Lock ID (usually starting with 000001), and finally the # key. This number will NOT open the lock.
Create Great Grand Master (GGM): This code is required by the System Manager to perform all programming functions. In any lock system, the number of digits used for the UID of each User must be the same. Example: If the UID is 3 digits, all Users must have a 3 digit PIN code.
Also, the number of digits used for the PIN of each User must be the same. Example: If the PIN is 5 digits, All Users must have a 5 digit PIN.
Using keypad, enter the Factory Code (9991234) , the * key and the UID of the System Manager (either 2, 3 or 4 digits), the # key, the PIN of the System Manager (either 3, 4, 5 or 6 digits), and finally, the # key.
Factory Code * UID # PIN #
The GGM is now established for the System Manager Only:
A combination of their UID followed by their PIN.
Lock is now initialized.
System Manager's Access to the Lock:
Enter UID plus PIN, then the * key.
