How to control PS Locks

To assign a new programming card, the lock must be removed to press the button on the back.
By doing this the old programming card is then deactivated.
If you require several programming cards, we can supply a set of two cloned ones.
One programming card should be used per project / shop / premises.

replaced with the cloned card or deactivated in the locks.
When using RFID cards, each lock must be assigned a Programming Card – like a master card. This programming card will allow the manager of the lock to access programming functions. These include adding/deleting users, turning on/off alarm mode of the lock.
Each lock can have up to 49 users assigned to the lock.

Briefly press the padlock symbol and the lock will unlock for three seconds.
The door symbol indicates whether the door or drawer is closed. The padlock symbol indicates whether the lock is open or locked.
The battery icon will turn green, yellow or red depending on the voltage. If the battery is low, you will also be taken to the battery alarm page when you open the lock.

By default, the lock closes after 3 seconds. You can increase this time in the “Locking Delay” field to a maximum of 240 seconds or leave the lock permanently open until you press the opening symbol again.

With the PSLocks app, you can conveniently operate the locks with your smartphone and assign access authorisations.
