BIO-S80A

Professional Invisible RFID Electronic Furniture Lock (Premium Standard)
⚠️
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: Please ensure that the lock operates properly, and that all cards (Manager Card and User Cards) are configured, tested, and verified at least 3 times on an open cabinet door before physically securing the lock body and latching the furniture!
  3. Understand the Reset consequences before pressing RESET: Before pressing the Reset button on the lock body, carefully read Section 7 to understand the factory reset behavior (all cards will be deleted and the lock restores its factory default Public Mode)!

🔋
MANDATORY BATTERY DIRECTIVE FOR INVISIBLE CABINET LOCKS:
To guarantee 100% operational reliability and prevent electronic latch failure through 25mm timber panels, only and exclusively install brand-new, fresh alkaline batteries from a professional manufacturer – INDUSTRIAL Grade (e.g., Varta Industrial Pro, Duracell Procell / Industrial, Energizer Industrial).

STRICTLY PROHIBITED:
NO rechargeable NiMH batteries (1.2V): Total voltage of 4× 1.2V is only 4.8V, which immediately triggers premature low-voltage alarms.
NO zinc-carbon or low-cost supermarket consumer batteries: They lack the high peak discharge current (up to 200mA) required to reliably actuate the motorized latch bolt.
NO mixing of old and new batteries: Always replace all 4 batteries simultaneously with fresh cells from the same production batch.
