LX100 User’s Guide

Introduction

The LX100 is a keyless proximity door lock that fits most standard doors. Simply replace your existing cylindrical style door handle with the LX100 for an economical access control system for your business or home. The locks provide stand alone operation and do not require the use of a computer or any external device for programming. They are powered by standard alkaline batteries eliminating the need for wiring. The LX100 uses radio frequency technology to instantly identify proximity badges and key fobs. No transaction history is retained.

Installation

Please refer to the separate Quick Start Guide enclosed with the lock for basic installation instructions. More detailed installation instructions, including the preparation of new doors, are contained in the back of this User’s Guide.

Using the LX100

When a badge or key fob is placed over the reader window of the LX100, it instantly reads its unique encoded ID number and verifies that it has been authorized to open the door. The LX100 comes with five preprogrammed badges which can be used immediately following installation with no additional setup required.

Badges and Key Fobs

The LX100 supports the use of Lathem proximity ID badges (included with lock) or optional Lathem proximity key fobs that users can simply attach to their key chains. The use of badges or key fobs is an individual user preference, and they can be used interchangeably on any lock.

A badge or key fob can be programmed to be one of two distinct types of users of the LX100: Master or User

Master Badges

Badge

Sticker

The Master not only allows access through the door, but also provides additional administrative rights to the holder so they can add and remove users as needed. The LX100 supports up to two (2) Master badges or key fobs. Each Master can add up to 59 individual Users. Therefore, the LX100 supports up to 120 total authorized users including the two Masters. The LX100 comes with one preprogrammed Master badge, which is identified by the global key sticker located in the lower left corner of one of the badges. This Master badge can begin accessing the lock and adding or removing users as needed without any additional programming (see Adding a Master).

User Badges

A User badge or key fob allows access through the door. User badges or key fobs are added by a Master badge. There can be up to 59 User badges assigned to each Master card. The LX100 comes with four (4) preprogrammed User badges. These badges do not have the global key sticker like the Master badge. These User badges can begin accessing the lock immediately with no additional programming needed.

Backup Keys

The keys enclosed with your LX100 are for backup purposes in the event of badge loss or battery failure only. Keep your keys in a protected and easy-to-remember location OUTSIDE of the room the lock is on. Lathem does not manufacture or stock extra keys. You are responsible for their safekeeping.

1. The keyhole cover is attached using a high-powered magnet. Your backup keys also have a smaller magnet embedded on one side to assist in removing the keyhole cover. Or, you can use your fingernail to pry open the cover.

2. After removing keyhole cover, place key in keyhole with arrow and notch pointing up to align with dot above keyhole.

3. Insert key and turn to the right until key stops.

4. While key is turned, push handle down to open door.
