Xesar tablet
Caution:
Do not install additional applications as otherwise EVVA will be unable to safeguard
the product security and functionality of the system.
Figure 4: Xesar tablet (sample image)
The Xesar tablet is intended to synchronise and transfer information between Xesar software and
Xesar access components.
The Xesar tablet delivery scope includes proprietary EVVA connection cable. Use the connection
cable to link your Xesar access components to the Xesar tablet. You can identify the connection
cable by the EVVA logo, located on the USB jack of the connection cable.
All Xesar access components feature an interface at the front, behind the connector cover (EVVA
logo). Slightly press towards the inside on the left-hand side of the EVVA logo (near the "E") and
fold out on the right-hand side (near the "A") to access it.
The integrated interface of the Xesar access component in conjunction with the Xesar tablet is
designed to synchronise Xesar software and Xesar access components only.
After use, once again carefully close the connector cover (EVVA logo) of your Xesar access components to continue to protect the connector from penetrating dust and humidity.
For this purpose, do not use pointed objects to prevent damage.
Please refer to the corresponding data sheet for additional specifications at
Xesar System manual 2.0 for version 2.0.36.17 | 24.06.2015 | misprinting and technical changes reserved
Caution:
Please note only one Xesar tablet is intended per system and the use of several
Xesar tablets within the same Xesar locking system may cause malfunctions.
Caution:
Synchronising several different Xesar locking systems with the same Xesar tablet
may cause malfunctions. For this reason, exclusively use the dedicated Xesar tablet
for each Xesar locking system.
Note:
The Xesar tablet is unsuitable as an emergency power supply for battery-operated
Xesar access components.
Tip:
We recommend you regularly synchronise data at each Xesar access component to
be able to quickly synchronise events with the software (caution: at maximum 1,000
events per access component, from then on, the oldest events will be overwritten).
Synchronise each access component at minimum once a year to make sure the
time has been synchronised with the system.
Functional principle
Any maintenance tasks or any other tasks for the corresponding Xesar access component
are loaded and listed upon each synchronisation between Xesar tablet and Xesar software.
The connecting cable enclosed with your Xesar tablet enables to connect the Xesar access
component and subsequently exchange data using the Xesar app.

Emergency power device
The emergency power device is optionally available.
Product code: E.ZU.NG.V1
Caution:
Please note that you require a Xesar identification medium with MasterKey authorisation to open Xesar access components supplied with the emergency power supply as the time setting is lost if the power supply is interrupted for too long, causing standard media to be unable to open them.
Figure 5: Emergency power device (sample image)
All access components feature an interface at the front of the access component, below the EVVA
logo. Slightly press towards the inside on the left-hand side of the logo (near the "E") and fold out

Access with a Xesar identification medium
Caution:
Please note that you must move the identification medium away from the reader
field (approximately 20 cm) each time you hold it to the access component to
(de)activate office mode.
Xesar identification media can be used to operate access components according to the same principle. The reader unit is located in the black cap above the connector cover (EVVA logo). The corresponding access component reacts as configured once an authorised identification medium is
held to the reader field.
Single access (standard configuration)
In this process, the corresponding Xesar access component unlocks for five seconds after
having used a corresponding access component. Unlocking is confirmed by a visual and
acoustic signal. Unlocking is then completed automatically and the system once again confirms this with a visual and an acoustic signal.
Manual office mode
Each Xesar access component features a manual office mode function. It enables to engage access components or keep them open. This function is also available in factory state
(construction mode) in conjunction with the Construction Card.
Manual office mode is (de)activated by holding the identification medium to the corresponding Xesar access component twice within a space of two seconds. The Xesar access
component indicates the status change with an acoustic and a visual signal (refer to
Xesar access component).
How
Configure this function in the Xesar software if Xesar access components have already
been assigned to the system.
When the battery charge reaches a low level, a Battery warning is issued.
In this state, no automatic or manual office opening to be started.
Current permanent openings (automatic / manual), however, can still be closed. In addition, a clear log entry is applied to indicate not started automatic continuous openings.

Automatic office mode (schedule-based)
Caution:
Manual and automatic office mode are equivalent with regard to authorisations. For
this reason, users with appropriate authorisations can manually suspend or reactivate automatic office mode. Manual office mode can also be deactivated by schedule-based, automatic office mode, providing this has been configured accordingly
in the software.
In addition to manual office mode, Xesar components can also be set to office mode automatically. In this process, you can set a certain time window in the Xesar software. The
Xesar access component indicates the status change of automatic office mode acoustically
and visually (refer to
Automatic office mode in factory state in conjunction with the Construction Card is not
possible.
When the battery charge reaches a low level, a Battery warning is issued.
In this state, no automatic or manual office opening to be started.
Current permanent openings (automatic / manual), however, can still be closed. In addition, a clear log entry is applied to indicate not started automatic continuous openings.
DeleteKey function
The blacklist (= list of all blocked media within a system) is transmitted to each
Xesar access component upon updating. If a medium on the blacklist is used at a
door component, the access component deletes it, regardless of whether or not it
was authorised for the respective door.

Functional principle:
The outside handle is disengaged by default – operating the outside handle will not
change the position of the latch. Hold an authorised Xesar identification medium to the
reader unit to mechatronically engage the outside handle for five seconds. If you operate
the outside handle during this period, the latch or bolt (depending on the lock type) will
be retrieved.
The inside handle is always engaged and can be operated at any time. In this process, the
mechanism always unlocks the latch.
Xesar escutcheons feature an event memory for the last 1,000 events. Once the event
memory is full, the system overwrites the oldest entries with the most recent events. For
this reason, it is important to regularly synchronise events to prevent event records from
being lost.

Information regarding installation and the correct installation situation
Exclusively specialist personnel must install escutcheons according to the specifications in the assembly manual enclosed with the product. EVVA shall assume no liability for any kind for damage
resulting from improper assembly/installation.
Please note that the maximum nut correction position of the mortise lock must be 2° to ensure
the Xesar escutcheon operates correctly, as otherwise malfunctions cannot be excluded.
Check the lock for damage and dirt before assembling/installing the escutcheon. Please also observe the instructions of the lock manufacturer prior to installation of the escutcheon.
EVVA recommends using correctly operating mortise locks to safeguard the escutcheon operates
correctly.
Observe the corresponding international and national specifications in the corresponding legislation, directives, standards and guidelines, particularly regarding the requirements for escape routes
and emergency exits, during project management and installation of the escutcheons.
Note that you must choose the correct cylinder length depending on the door panel thickness
when installing mechanical lock cylinders. In installation situations or applications that are critical
to security the lock cylinder must protrude from the protective escutcheon by a maximum of 3
mm.
Before installing escutcheons – in particular in metal frame doors – check the installation situation
to prevent injuries (e.g. squashed limbs). In these cases, we recommend using a handle suitable for
metal frame doors.
Please note that if you install the escutcheon in smoke control/fire doors, you must verify the
components' suitability and potentially also obtain approval from the door manufacturer. The client shall be responsible for this.
A certificate in compliance with EN 179 or EN 1125 from the lock manufacturer is crucial for use
of the escutcheon in escape or panic doors. Check the correct function of the complete panic unit,
consisting of escutcheon, panic lock and panic bar. The aforementioned certificate must confirm
the escutcheons' suitability for installation.
An excessive tightening torque when fastening the fixing screws may cause escutcheon malfunctions or make it hard to operate the escutcheon. For this reason, note the data in the assembly
manual.
Before completing the installation, use a Construction Card to verify the correct function of the
escutcheon when the door is open as per the specifications in the assembly manual.
After having installed the escutcheon, note that you can only operate the system using a Construction Card until parameters have been completely configured.
Note that in the event of a clearance within the cylinder area of the door panel you are required
to seal the area using a conventional, mechanical cylinder, a blind cylinder or fire protection laminate. EVVA explicitly declares that this is the only method to maintain the validity of the fire protection certificate for the escutcheon.

Caution:
Please note the following, important notices before use!
By default, the electronic outside thumbturn of the Xesar cylinder is disengaged. The cam
remains disengaged upon operating the outside thumbturn and the outside thumbturn
turns without engaging with the cam.
Hold an authorised Xesar identification medium to the reader unit of the Xesar cylinder to
mechatronically engage the outside thumbturn for five seconds so the cam of the Xesar
cylinder engages when operating the outside thumbturn.
The purely mechanically operated inside of versions with one-sided, electronic authorisation always remains engaged on Xesar cylinders and can be operated at any time.
On Xesar cylinders with double-sided, electronic authorisation the inside thumbturn operates identically to the electronic outside thumbturn.
Xesar cylinders feature an event memory for the last 1,000 events. Once the event memory
is full, the system overwrites the oldest entries with the most recent events. For this reason, it is important to regularly synchronise events to prevent event records from being

kind for damage resulting from improper assembly/installation.
Check the lock for damage and dirt before assembling/installing the lock cylinder. Please also observe the instructions of the lock manufacturer prior to assembly/installation. EVVA recommends
using correctly operating mortise locks to safeguard the lock cylinder operates correctly.
All Xesar access components are delivered ex works in so-called construction mode. In this condition any Construction Card unlocks any Xesar access component. For this reason, immediately
after having installed each Xesar access component ensure it is correctly added to the locking
system so that exclusively authorised persons have access.
Exclusively use accessories and spare parts recommended by EVVA. Mechatronic lock cylinders are
exclusively fully suitable for assembly/installation in locks, escutcheons, etc. if the lock cylinders are
subject to the corresponding dimensional standards and the respective locks, escutcheons, etc. are
exclusively designed to accommodate mechatronic lock cylinders as per said standards. In all other
cases, manufacturers, retailers and users of such locks, escutcheons and similar devices must be
certain that the lock cylinder they select is suitable for installation and its intended use.
Observe the corresponding international and national specifications in the corresponding legislation, directives, standards and guidelines, particularly regarding the requirements for escape routes
and emergency exits, during project management and installation of the lock cylinders.
Before installing lock cylinders – in particular in metal frame doors – check the installation situation to prevent injuries (e.g. squashed limbs) or damage to the lock cylinder.
53
Page 54
Xesar System manual 2.0 for version 2.0.36.17 | 24.06.2015 | misprinting and technical changes reserved
Ensure you selected the correct cylinder length for the corresponding door configuration. In installation situations or applications that are critical to security (without taking into account the thumbturn) the cylinder must protrude from the protective escutcheon by a maximum of 3 mm.
If VdS-certified mechatronic lock cylinders are installed in installation situations critical to security,
the lock cylinder must be protected by VdS-certified, burglary-resistent, category B or C door
plates. With regard to all other doors, the degree of anti-burglary measures must comply with the
corresponding, national regulations (see also EN 1627, Austrian standard 5338 or SKG).
Please note the restrictions illustrated in the assembly manual regarding the permissible installation positions of the lock cylinder. Non-compliance with the correct installation situation may
cause malfunctions – malfunctions in unapproved installation positions do not represent product
faults and are consequently not deemed as a valid reason for complaints. Please note that the
correct lock cylinder function can also only be ensured before and during installation of the lock
cylinder if the cylinder housing is positioned correctly.
Lock cylinders must be installed in such a way that they are not subject to any external forces
except when used correctly and at the designated mounting points.
A certificate in compliance with EN 179 or EN 1125 from the lock manufacturer is crucial for use
of the lock cylinder in escape or panic doors. Check the correct function of the complete panic
unit, consisting of lock cylinder, panic lock, panic bar and handle fittings. The aforementioned certificate must confirm the lock cylinders' suitability for installation.
Please note that if you would like to install the lock cylinder in smoke control/fire doors, you must
verify the cylinders' suitability and potentially also obtain approval from the door manufacturer.
The client shall be responsible for this.
An excessive tightening torque when fastening the cylinder fixing screw may cause lock cylinder
malfunctions or make it hard to operate the lock cylinder. For this reason, please note the data in
the assembly manual.
Before completing the installation, use a Construction Card to verify the correct function of the
lock cylinder when the door is open as per the specifications in the assembly manual.
After having installed the lock cylinder, note that you can only operate the system using a Construction Card until parameters have been completely configured.

Note:
Depending on the cylinder's protrusion beyond the escutcheon or any installed
cylinder rosettes, the Xesar thumbturn may be hard to operate as a result of friction
caused by the seal on the escutcheon or rosette of the cylinder. There is the option
to remove said seals when installing indoors.
can only be safeguarded if the elongated outside turn sleeve protrudes from the protective escutcheon by a maximum of 3 mm.
Information on operation
Instruct users of the electronic locking system to always keep identification media safe.
In the event that Xesar identification media is lost, it must be immediately blocked using the software. The corresponding lock cylinder must be immediately updated using the Xesar tablet.
Please note that a door is not automatically locked after having closed it. Doors must be locked
manually by turning the thumbturn. In the event that it is not possible to remove the thumbturn,
attempt to set the lock cylinder to office mode and then remove it as usual it using the assembly
tool. In the event that this fails, you additionally have the option of blocking the thumbturn sleeve
using a slim metal pin via a small hole on the front of the electronics module and be able to consequently remove the thumbturn using the assembly tool.
The thumbturn is not intended as an object to move the door panel (as would be the knob, handle, etc.). Do not carry or lift the door panel using the thumbturn.
Do not stand on the thumbturn.
Do not cover the reader equipment of the lock cylinder with metal materials.
Regularly check the correct condition and function of the lock cylinder (at minimum once a
month) as part of a functional check using authorised identification media.
We recommend you keep the locking system up-to-date
by regularly installing software and firmware updates. Make sure to run firmware updates when
the door is open and run a functional test after having completed the update.

Note:
Xesar cylinders with European profiles are equipped with a service bore at the front
of the electronics module. Use it to secure the thumbturn axis with a matching
metal pin and facilitate disassembly of the cylinder thumbturn.
The metal pin must have a minimum diameter of 2 mm and be at minimum 40 mm
long.
Procedure:
Step 1:
Insert a matching metal pin (e.g. a
2 mm Allen key) into the front service duct of your European profile cylinder.
Step 2:
In this process, turn the thumbturn until you are able to insert the metal pin
considerably deeper into the service duct. Now hold the metal pin in this
position and disassemble the thumbturn as usual using the assembly tool.
Step 3:
Once again carefully remove the metal pin after having removed the
thumbturn.

Cleaning information
Caution:
Note the information in the assembly manual regarding the correct position of the
cylinder.
Note:
Reset cylinders to construction mode before moving Xesar cylinders (removing
them from the door).
Regularly lubricate lock cylinders – at minimum as part of battery replacements. For this purpose,
use the lubricants recommended by EVVA only. Please refer to the Xesar system manual for more
information on the exact lubrication processes.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth and soapy water to clean any visible areas of the lock cylinder. Do not
use corrosive products or sprays that may be aggressive on metal surfaces, plastics or sealants and
seals. Ensure (particularly when the thumbturn has been removed) no liquids penetrate the cylinder and that visible areas of the electronic thumbturn must exclusively be cleaned when the
thumbturn is not open.

Xesar cylinders feature an event memory for the last 1,000 events.
Assemble the component as per the assembly manual enclosed with the product.
Battery replacements
Activate office mode for the cylinder before replacing batteries so the cylinder remains engaged.
Note that lock cylinder operation is permitted using type CR2 batteries only. Do not use rechargeable batteries. Please ask your specialist retailer for a list of recommended battery models.
We recommend to have batteries replaced by trained, specialist personnel only.
Replace batteries in due time, as soon as the lock cylinder indicates "Battery low". Repeatedly disregarding the "Battery low" warning may cause cylinder malfunctions. At normal ambient temperatures, the first "Battery low" warning indicates that up to 1,000 actuations are still possible within
the next 4 weeks. Temperatures deviating from normal ambient temperatures may cause the cylinder to prematurely fail. If the batteries are empty, it is exclusively possible to operate the cylinder using the emergency power device (optional accessory).
Always replace all batteries used in the corresponding lock cylinder! Use the dedicated Xesar lock
cylinder assembly tool to assemble or disassemble the thumbturn (also when replacing batteries).
We recommend to pair up the lock cylinder using an authorised Xesar identification medium before removing the batteries. If applicable, you may be required to synchronise the system time
using the Xesar tablet after having replaced the batteries.
Store batteries in a cool, dry location. Exposure to direct, strong heat may damage batteries. For
this reason, do not expose battery-operated devices to strong heat sources.
Batteries contain chemical substances and for this reason, dispose of them correctly, taking into
account the country-specific regulations.

Connector (synchronisation, updates)
Xesar wall readers feature a connector located under the connector cover (EVVA logo).
Slightly press towards the inside on the left-hand side of the EVVA logo (near the "E") and
fold out on the right-hand side (near the "A") to access the connector.
The connector is intended solely to synchronise the unit with the Xesar tablet, Xesar wall
readers cannot be operated with the optionally available emergency power device.
After use, once again carefully close the connector cover (EVVA logo) to protect the connector from penetrating dust and humidity. For this purpose, do not use pointed objects
to prevent damage.
Functional principle
Hold a Xesar identification medium to a reader unit and the Xesar control unit (connected
to the Xesar wall reader) checks the Xesar identification medium. The correspondingly trig-
gered relay of the Xesar control unit switches insofar as the identification medium is au-
thorised, depending on the jumper position (see diagram in the Xesar control unit -> JP2)
and the configuration.
Xesar control units feature an event memory for the last 1,000 events. Once the event
memory is full, the system overwrites the oldest entries with the most recent events. For
this reason, it is important to regularly synchronise events to prevent event records from
being lost.

You can also specify five types of special days that are active at the same time over a
period of fifty days in advance (Figure 53: Time settings).
For instance, use this function if you would like to grant a company's employees access
from Monday to Friday, but not on public holidays. In such cases it is possible to define
such "special days" and the access components will react accordingly. Affected persons will
then no longer have access providing their time profile has been configured accordingly.

Note:
If you open the

menu page for the first time, you must change the default
PIN "0000" to be able to once again close the Settings menu.
Note:
The Xesar software must be running to support this function. However, you can run
it in the background, even with a locked Desktop.

Identification media validity periods
Specify the
identification media validity period
for ALL Xesar identification media within your Xesar locking system.
Their maximum validity period is three years. The validity period of the Xesar identification
medium is automatically extended by the specified period as soon as you hold it to the
Xesar coding station. This function is intended as a checkpoint function to enhance the security and force users to update their media within certain intervals.

section
If the Xesar identification medium is not used at a Xesar coding station within the specified period, the identification medium expires and is deactivated until it is once again used
at the Xesar coding station.
The Xesar identification medium is reactivated automatically once it is held to the Xesar
coding station. This functionality represents a checkpoint within your system which forces
users to regularly update their Xesar identification medium at this checkpoint. EVVA recommends using a very frequently used area, such as the reception or an information point
for this function.

Xesar System manual 2.0 for version 2.0.36.17 | 24.06.2015 | misprinting and technical changes reserved
Note:
Once the validity period has expired, the affected identification medium is unable
to unlock any doors until it is updated at a coding station. Take this into account if
you position an update unit indoors. The shorter the identification media validity
period, the faster your system regains a secure status in the event that media are
lost. However, in the event that identification media are lost, we strongly recommend to transfer the blacklist to access components using the tablet.
Caution:
Comply with the corresponding, national statutory regulations and directives regarding data protection!
Replacement media validity periods
You can issue one replacement medium per person should a Xesar identification medium
be temporarily unavailable. Set the general validity period of a replacement medium here.
The maximum permitted validity period is 72 hours (Figure 53: Time settings).
Logging personal data
If you would like to log personal data (event protocol), you can configure this in the Settings. In this case, please set the "Off" default setting to "On" (Figure 53: Time settings).
Maximum archiving period for personal data
You can restrict the maximum period any data is retained (Figure 53: Time settings). Data
older than the specified period will be automatically rendered anonymous.
