1 MiniTech setup software overview

The MiniTech setup software is used to configure all the parameters of the MiniTech safe lock system or to reset it.

This can be done directly via a cable connection or by creating setup or reset Dallas keys.

2 MiniTech setup software: main toolbar

The MiniTech setup software has a toolbar with the following commands:

New: Create a new configuration file. Save: Save the current configuration file. Open: Open an existing configuration file.

Write setup key: Write a setup Dallas key to be used for the programming of the lock.

Write reset key: Write a reset Dallas key to be used during the procedure to reset the MiniTech locks. Send configuration: Send the configuration to the MiniTech directly by means of the N42170/M magnetic Dallas key connection cable or the T42146/J molex/jack connection cable.

System reset: Reset the MiniTech lock directly by means of the N42170/M magnetic Dallas key connection cable or the T42146/J molex/jack connection cable.

Language: Select the language for the MiniTech setup software.

About: Show the version of the MiniTech setup software.

On the right side of the toolbar there are 3 further commands/indicators, that is the command to check for the software updates, the indication of the USB interface and the drop-down list where you can select which version of MiniTech you want to program.

The first one is Check for updates. By clicking on this link it is possible to check for SW updates (if the PC is connected to internet, the software automatically checks for updates).

Below that, at the side of the icon there is a field where is indicated the Tecnosicurezza USB interfaces (N42180/T) connected to the computer. In case there are no interfaces plugged in (or in case of a problem with the USB interface driver), it indicates "No USB device found". In case there are more interfaces connected, from the drop-down list you have to select which one to use.

At the bottom there is a drop-down list where you have to select which version of MiniTech you are going to program. If you do not know the version of your MiniTech, press and hold the button no. 8 in the keypad to show the firmware version on the display.

Below the main toolbar there is the main screen, divided into 5 different screens whose content depends on which tab is selected.

The main screen is explained in detail in the next paragraph.

3 Main screen

The main screen consists of five different screens called up by clicking on the specific tab. At the starting of the software, it is shown the Notes screen.

3.1 Notes screen

The Notes screen is made up of the fields Customer and Notes.

In the Customer field you can write down the customer to whom it is intended the lock you are programming.

In the Notes field you can write down notes related to the programming.

3.2 Configuration screen

This is the screen where the main settings are located.

Below you can find all the explanations of the various settings, section by section, starting from the top left.

Daylight saving time : Here you have to select the hemisphere where the look will be installed. This function refers to the automatic activation of the Daylight Saving Time (DST).

If you select the check-box Disabled, the DST will not be activated. By default, this option is set to Northern hemisphere.

Date format : Here you have to select the desired date format (dd/mm/yyyy days, months, years or mm/dd/yyyy months, days, years). By default, the date formant is set to dd/mm/yyyy.

RTC compensation: Not supported.

Keypad replacement : Here you have to choose if it is allowed to replace the keypad keeping the same lock (Always) or if it is not allowed to replace the keypad (Never).

In the latter case, during programming, the keypad is paired to its lock (in case of failure of the keypad, you will need to replace both keypad and lock).

Silent alarm : If selected, it will be possible to use the duress code, which is equivalent to the traditional PIN code with the last digit increased by 1 (e.g. normal code 111111, duress code 111112).

When the duress code is entered the lock will open following the normal programmed parameters and simultaneously will activate the output signal of the alarm interface (N077/A, T6005, T7005).

Remote block : If selected, when a signal is received at the input of the alarm interface (N077/A, T6005, T7005), the keypad will be blocked.

Remote override : If selected, when a signal is received at the input of the alarm interface (N077/A, T6005, T7005), the time delay is bypassed (if present) and all users can open immediately.

Enable AUX cable: Not supported.

Set language: Not supported

Reset code: If selected, a 6 digits PIN will be requested for resetting the lock.

You can choose that an override user opens with manager or with a standard user.

You can choose that manager opens with a standard user.

You can choose that to use the functions of the manager menu, besides the manager code it must be entered the master code or a standard user code.

You can choose that a dynamic code (One Time Code) opens with manager or with a standard user.

Dynamic codes: If selected, the Dynamic Codes (One Time Code) function is enabled in the lock. The dynamic codes will only be enabled, but not installed. The actual installation can be done at a later time by keypad in the Master menu.

Dynamic codes with pin or Dallas key: if selected, the identification of a Dynamic code user can be made with a 4 digits PIN instead of the Dallas key.

The identification with the Dallas key will still be possible.

Enable removal of all static codes: if selected, when the Dynamic codes are installed by keypad in the the Master menu, all the static codes (including the Manager, except the Master, which however is not able to open the lock) will be deleted.

Activation PIN: if selected, a 4 digits activation PIN has to be used during the initialization of the lock for the Dynamic codes. The activation PIN has to be chosen during the enabling of the Dynamic codes in the menu Master.

Activation PIN – Random: As the previous but the activation PIN is given randomly by the keypad during the enabling of the Dynamic codes in the menu Master.

Time Lock: Here you can decide if the Dynamic users will be subjected to the Time Lock or not.

4 Lock reset procedure

There are 2 different ways to reset the lock of a MiniTech:

• 1) Using a reset Dallas key.
• 2) With direct connection by means of the N42170/M magnetic Dallas key connection cable or the T42146/J molex/jack connection cable.
  • N.B. This mode is available only for MiniTech with firmware 1.13 onwards.

4.1 Lock reset with Dallas key

1) Create a Reset Dallas key.

In order to do that, you have to place a N1996 or N1996RM Dallas key on the Dallas key reader (USB interface N42180/T + Dallas key reader with molex connector N42170/D) connected to the computer, as shown in the picture below.

After this, click on the Write reset key button.

A message will inform you when the creation of the reset key is completed.

2) Connect the reset box (L4002/RB) to the secondary connector (BAT) of the lock you want to reset, leaving the other connector connected to the keypad.
