BIO-D-Panel

Electronic cabinet lock with external touch PIN keypad and RFID reader
Electronic cabinet lock with external touch PIN keypad and RFID reader BIO-D-Panel
⚠️
INSTALLER GOLDEN RULES (READ BEFORE PHYSICAL INSTALLATION):
  1. Install brand-new professional batteries: Use exclusively brand-new 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries of INDUSTRIAL grade (e.g., Varta Industrial Pro, Duracell Procell / Industrial). Never mix used cells or use rechargeable batteries.
  2. Program and test all credentials prior to mounting: Ensure the lock operates properly, and that both PIN codes (Manager PIN, User PIN) and RFID cards (Manager Card, User Card) are configured, tested, and verified at least 3 times on an open cabinet door before physically securing the lock body, connecting the 10 cm ribbon cable, and latching the furniture!
  3. Understand the Reset consequences before resetting: Before performing a hardware reset or keypad reset, carefully read Section 7 to understand factory reset behavior (all credentials are wiped, factory codes 0000 and 1111 are restored, and the lock reverts to default Public Mode)!

1. Relative Products

  • The lock reverts to default Public Mode. Re-configure to Private Mode if desired.

8. Essential Operational Guidelines & Best Practices

  1. When the indicator light flashes in blue, batteries are low. Replace with fresh INDUSTRIAL alkaline AAA batteries immediately.
  2. One lock supports a maximum of 1 Manager Code, 1 User Code, 10 Manager Cards, 10 Delete Cards, and 30 User Cards.
  3. Always change factory default PIN codes (0000 and 1111) immediately during installation for security.
  4. Ensure the approx. 10 cm ribbon cable is seated securely in the motherboard header before closing cabinetry.
  5. Verify all keypad functions and card enrollments at least 3 times with the cabinet door OPEN before closing and latching the furniture!
