KL1100 RFID - Programming and Operating Instructions
ABOUT KL11OO
The KL1100 can operate in Standalone Mode.
THE BASICS
Penalty Time
Presenting an unregistered card 3 times will incur a 10 second time delay before any further use is possible.
Batteries
The KL1100 uses 4 x AA batteries. Always use high quality batteries. Dispose of old batteries according to local authority recommendations.
When battery power is low, the Red LED will flash 3 times before any locking/unlocking. Batteries have up to 100 operations remaining and should be changed as soon as possible.
Programmer (Sold Separately)
The Programmer is required to carry out advanced programming operations. Before each programming operation this will need to be plugged into the micro USB port at the bottom of the lock and the Master Card must be presented for authorisation. When the Programmer is unplugged the Red LED will flash once within 5 seconds to indicate it is out of programming mode.
Standalone Access Clients
The lock supports a maximum of: Master Card Clients (1), Technician Card Clients (10) and User Card Clients (50).
Override Code
The default 4 digit emergency Override Code can be used to unlock the lock via the Programmer when the Master Card is unavailable. It is recommended that the default Override Code is changed upon setting up the lock, see page 9 for instructions.
Note: When a card is registered to a lock, the card's unique ID is read and written into the lock's encrypted data, this is then saved to the card along with the lock's unique ID. Which means that if a card is cloned, the lock will reject the cloned copy as the unique ID of the card and the encrypted data will not match.

IMPORTANT
Once a Master Card is registered, it should be kept in a safe location. The Master Card is required for all programming operations and setting the lock Override Code.
