Phoenix SELO-A Operating Instructions Manual

Operating instructions for
electronic lock SELO-A

A) GENERAL

• The opening procedure consists of two operations: CLEARING
and UNBLOCKING.

• To start the opening procedure, check that the input unit is in the
vertical end position.

• Each successful pressing of a key is acknowledged by the brief
lighting up of the KEY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT signal.

• If the code number is keyed in by mistake, return to the starting
position of the lock by pressing the ON key, and start over.

• After entering the wrong secret code three times in a row, the
lock will automatically block all further entries for 5 minutes...

Electronic lock SELO-A can be set for two opening methods: either for immediate opening upon entering of one of the valid 6-digit secret
codes or for delayed opening after a pre-programmed opening delay has lapsed. The lock is unlocked using one of a total of nine secret
codes.

B) OPERATING THE LOCK

...If, after waiting for 5 minutes, the wrong code is entered again,
the lock will block itself for a further 20 minutes (manipulation
resistance). As the waiting period is in progress, the red
BLOCKED signal blinks and not even the valid number code will
open the lock.

• If more than 30 seconds lapse between pressing any two keys,
the lock automatically switches itself off for safety reasons. The
opening procedure has to be started over.

• Once data have been stored (numerical codes, opening delay),
not even a power failure will delete them.

SERVICE CALL

Clearing the lock without opening delay
(factory setting)

1) Key-in the 6-digit number code (factory setting: administrator

code 1 2 3 4 5 6).

2) As an indication that a valid number code has been entered
and the lock is ready for opening, the green READY FOR

OPENING signal lights up for five seconds. The lock has now

been cleared and is ready for unblocking within this time.
Entering of an invalid number code will cause the red DATA

INPUT REJECTED signal to light up for five seconds.

or: Clearing the lock with an opening delay

(between 1 and 99 minutes)

1) Key-in the 6-digit number code (factory setting: administrator

code 1 2 3 4 5 6).

2) The blinking green READY FOR OPENING signal shows that the
number code entered is valid. Alternating with the green light,
the red BLOCKED signal blinks. If the code entered is not
correct, the DATA INPUT REJECTED signal will light up for five
seconds.

3) Wait for the pre-programmed opening delay to pass; the lock
cannot be unblocked in this condition. At the end of the delay,
the green KEY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT signal blinks for three
minutes.

4) Enter the valid number code once more as the green signal is
on.

5) To indicate the lock’s readiness for opening, the green READY

FOR OPENING signal lights up for five seconds. The user can

now unblock the lock.

electronic lock SELO-A

Unblocking the lock - relocking and
securing the lock

1) To unblock the lock during the five minute readiness for opening,
turn the round input unit clockwise through a half turn from its
end position. Please note that the input unit can be turned a
quarter turn at any time, but that this distance is not enough to
unblock the lock.

2) If the input unit is turned back to its starting position in
anti-clockwise direction after the five-second ready-for-opening
period, the lock will return to the blocked position and can only
be unblocked after renewed clearing and re-entry of a valid code.

Entering the programming mode to change the lock settings
ONLY CHANGE THE LOCK SETTINGS WITH THE SAFE
DOOR OPEN AND BLOCKED. DO NOT MAKE UP
NUMBER CODE OF PERSONAL DATES
(i.e. no wedding anniversaries, birthdays etc.)

•

Start reprogramming the lock with either clearing procedure
described on page 1. When, after clearing, the green READY

FOR OPENING signal lights up for 5 seconds, place a finger on

the ENTER key and leave the key pressed for approx. 5 seconds
until the yellow PROGRAMMING STATUS signal lights up. It
indicates that you have successfully entered the programming
mode and that the lock is waiting for instructions. If you wish
to abort the programming operation without results, press the
ON key to return to the starting position of the lock.

C) PROGRAMMING

Changing the administrator code
(factory setting 1 2 3 4 5 6)

1) Enter the programming mode by keying-in the old administrator
code.

2) Key-in ‘0’ to address the administrator slot and momentarily
press the ENTER key.

3) Key-in the new 6-digit administrator code followed by momentarily
pressing the ENTER key.

4) Key-in the new 6-digit administrator code again, and momentarily
press the ENTER key. If this is followed by the lighting up of the
green READY FOR OPENING signal for 3 seconds, it means that the
new administrator code has been entered successfully. The old
code is no longer valid. If, however, the action is followed by the red

DATA INPUT REJECTED signal for three seconds, it means that

something went wrong during the programming operation and that
the old code is still valid.

Assigning or writing over a user code in one
of the user slots 1 through 8

1) Enter the programming mode by keying-in the current
administrator code.

2) Key-in ‘1’, ‘2’, or …..‘8’ to address the required user slot between
1 and 8, and then momentarily press the ENTER key.

3) Key-in the new 6-digit user code followed by momentarily pressing
the ENTER key.

4) Key-in the new 6-digit user code again, and momentarily press the
ENTER key. If this is followed by the lighting up of the green READY

FOR OPENING signal for 3 seconds, it means that the new user code

has been entered successfully. The previous (written over) code is no
longer valid. If, however, the action is followed by the red DATA INPUT

REJECTED signal for three seconds, it means that something went

wrong during the programming operation and that the old code is still
valid.

Deleting a user code assigned to one of the
user slots 1 through 8

1) Enter the programming mode by keying-in the current
administrator code.

2) Key-in ‘1’, ‘2’, or …..‘8’ to address the required user slot between
1 and 8, and then momentarily press the ENTER key.

3) Momentarily press the ENTER key once more.

4) Momentarily press the ENTER key a third time. If this is followed by
the lighting up of the green READY FOR OPENING signal for 3 seconds,
it means that the user code has been deleted from the selected user
slot. If, however, the action is followed by the red DATA INPUT

REJECTED signal for three seconds, it means that something went

wrong during the programming operation and that the old setting
is still valid.
