Product description
Control unit ELS RFID is used in Metra Electronic
Locking System (ELS) which is primarily designed and
used for locking lockers.
Control unit ELS RFID has two basic components:
Control unit PCB and Display unit. Control unit PCB
drives and monitors up to 16 directly connected Metra
Electronic Locks (see also: Electronic Lock) and other
enhancing accessories.
Display Unit (also connected to CU PCB) is the products
user interface. It consists of a 4-digit LED display to
show locker numbers (and other UI messages) and a
contactless RFID reader. Different RFID readers are
supported (see order list).
Enhancing accessories:
- Euro deposit pad limits locker misuse
- Coin acceptor generates revenue from locker use
Product can be used totally independent of Metra
network. Wiring all the Control units into a network and
adding a Network controller ELS enables additional
alarm notification and remote unlocking of locks by
pushbutton.

Page 8
Control Unit ELS RFID User Manual
STEP 2: Approach the RFID media to the antenna field.
Reading distance is 2 – 5 centimetres from the device
surface. Hold the RFID media in the field for a few
moments for Control Unit to read and process it.
STEP 3: When the RFID media is accepted as a locker key
the corresponding locker is locked and its number is
displayed.
NOTE
If the locker was closed and RFID media was not presented, locker automatically opens when time
countdown ends.
User waiting time increment
User waiting time increments (slower countdown) after the
countdown ended without presenting the RFID media to
lock the locker. This gives user more time to present the
RFID media in second attempt.
Locking procedure – payment required
Steps 1 and 2 are the same as in normal locking procedure.
Page 9

displayed after the insertion.
NOTE
If the coin is not inserted the locker unlocks and opens after
a few seconds.
STEP 5: Locker number is displayed on Display Unit and
corresponding locker is locked.
Multiple locking procedure
For multiple locking a special multi key is needed. All the lockers closed that way can be later
unlocked (all at once) using the Multi key.
NOTE
See also Metra Software Help for more information on how to make a multi key.
Steps 1 and 2 are the same as in normal locking procedure.
Page 10
Control Unit ELS RFID User Manual
STEP 3: When the RFID media is accepted as a Multi key
the corresponding locker is locked and its number is
displayed.
