Sargent and Greenleaf 6120 Operating Instructions Manual

Model 6120

Operating instructiOns

Introduction

• The Sargent & Greenleaf Model 6120 Motorized Electronic
Combination Lock is shipped from the factory with a factory master
code of 1 2 3 4 5 6 #. This code is used to open the lock and set or
change all of its codes. If the safe maker or your dealer sets a new
master code, he will advise you of the change. You should set the lock
to your own, unique master code immediately.

• The Model 6120 will always open on the master code. At your
discretion, it can also be set to accept up to eight different user codes.
The master code holder is responsible for maintaining the number of
active users programmed into each lock. The master code is designated
as code #1, and the user codes (if set) are designated by user I.D.
number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The user codes do not exist until they
are programmed into the lock.

• Each time a button is pressed and the lock accepts the input, it
emits a “chirp,” and the LED on the keypad lights momentarily.

• All codes must contain six digits or six letters. Any digit or letter can
be used as many times as you wish. For instance, the following codes
(while not recommended) will operate the lock:

5 5 5 5 5 5 # OR J J J J J J #

• All codes end with #. This signals the lock that you have finished
entering all digits of the code.

• If you pause more than 10 seconds between pressing buttons when
entering a code, the lock will assume you do not want to continue, and
it will go into standby mode. To open the lock, begin the code entry
sequence from the first step.

• If you realize you have pressed an incorrect button when entering a
code, press * or simply pause ten seconds or more, then begin entering
your code again.

• If four incorrect codes are entered in a row, the lock will shut down
for a period of up to fifteen minutes. This is a security feature. Pressing
any button anytime during the lockout period will reset the timer to its
maximum penalty time. Do not touch any keypad buttons for a period of
fifteen minutes, then enter any valid code to open the lock.

• The model 6120 does not have audit trail capabilities.

• For UL installations, the maximum number of user codes is one.

Note: This lock has been Listed by Underwriters Laboratories for use with the following

S&G keypad(s):
6120-0XX, 6120-2XX, 6120-4XX, 6160-2XX (IP Series), 61KP-1XX, 6130-5XX

To Open the Lock

Press the code digits or letters in order, followed by #. The lock bolt will
retract for six seconds, allowing you time to operate the safe handle

and open the door. Do not put any pressure on the safe handle until
after the code has been entered. The Model 6120 will lock automatically
when the safe door is closed and the handle is turned to the locked
position.

In Case of Trouble

If your lock should fail to open when a valid code is entered, check for
the following:

1. The boltwork of a safe can, under certain conditions, place pressure
on the side of the lock’s bolt. This is often caused by something inside
the safe pressing against the door or by something caught between
the safe door and its frame. When this occurs, the lock will not operate
properly. To relieve side pressure on the lock bolt, move the safe’s
handle to the fully locked position, then re-enter a working code. The
lock should open.

2. If the lock makes no sound when any of the keys are pressed, or
if the lock “chirps” when keys are pressed, but it will not open, the
batteries may be drained to the point that they will not operate the
lock’s motor. Follow the battery replacement procedure in this manual.

3. If the lock makes no sound when any of the keys are pressed, but
the batteries have been checked and found to be good, a loose keypad
connector may be the cause. If your lock uses the two-battery keypad
(pictured to the left of the lock above), pull the keypad away from the
base as described in the battery changing procedure. Check to make
sure the wire connector is firmly seated into its receptacle on the
keypad circuit board. The connector is designed so that it will only slide
into the receptacle when aligned correctly.

recept acle on the keypad circuit b oard.

If all of the preceding remedies have been exhausted and the lock still
does not open, contact a qualified safe technician in your area for
professional service.

Security Advisory

If your lock is used many times a day (50 or more openings daily), it
is advisable to use as many different keys as possible in your code
number. Avoid using a key more than once whenever possible. Check
the keypad frequently for visible wear which might indicate which keys
are being pressed for code entry. Change the code to use different keys
when wear is evident. If necessary, have a qualified service technician
replace the keypad.

About Changing Codes

All code changing procedures begin by pressing SG*(the same as 7 4 *), followed by the existing six-digit master code and #. The lock
immediately chirps five times (eeeee).If the lock emits a series of closely spaced chirps (almost a continuous tone) you have made a mistake and
must start again. Always keep the safe door open when making programming changes.

To Change the Master Code (code #1)

Press SG* (______) #  1 * (__ ____) #  (___ ___) # 

Whenever # is pressed, the lock chirps to acknowledge the entry. Wait for the chirps before proceeding. If a long series of closely spaced chirps
(almost a continuous tone) sounds when # is pressed, the new master code will not be accepted—the old code is retained.

Note: It is very important to remember your master code. If it is lost, the manufacturer of your safe may be able to help you reset the lock. S&G

To Enter or Change a User Code (codes #2—#9)

Press SG* (__ ____) #  (user I.D.) * (______) #  (______) # 

master code(74) new user code

Whenever # is pressed, the lock chirps to acknowledge the entry. Wait for the chirps before proceeding. If a long series of closely spaced chirps
(almost a continuous tone) sounds when # is pressed, the new code will not be accepted. Any existing user code remains.

For instance, if you want to enable the #2 user code (the first user code) to open the lock with a code of 4 4 6 6 3 3, you will use the following
procedure.

Press SG* (______) #  2 * 446633#  446633# 

master code(74)

This same procedure would change any existing #2 user code to 4-4-6-6-3-3.

new user code

To Delete a User Code

You may find that a particular user code which you have enabled is no longer needed. It is a good security policy to remove any unneeded codes. To
do so, follow this procedure.

Press SG* (__ ____) #  (user I.D. 2 through 9) * #  # 

master code(74)

Whenever # is pressed, the lock chirps to acknowledge the entry. Wait for the chirps before proceeding. If a long series of closely spaced chirps
(almost a continuous tone) sounds when # is pressed, the user code will not be deleted.

The 6120 lock will not allow you to inadvertently delete the master code.

To Use the Time Delay

The Sargent & Greenleaf Model 6120 Electronic Combination Lock has a built in time delay feature that you can turn on and off by following the
programming steps on this page. The time delay can be set anywhere from 0 to 9 minutes. When the time delay feature is enabled, your lock will
function as follows:

After you enter a valid opening code, the lock will “chirp” three times. It will not open. The lock will “chirp” once every ten seconds during the delay
period, and it will not accept any keypad input during the delay period. The lock will “chirp” ten times at the end of the delay period.

You must enter a valid opening code within two minutes of the end of the delay period. The lock will open. Instead of entering a valid code, you can
use the procedure below to turn the time delay off or set it to a different length. The two minute period immediately following the time delay is the
only time during which you can change or delete the time delay.

Use of the time delay feature will decrease your battery life by approximately 50%. Battery life will vary depending on the length of the time delay.
For instance, batteries will last longer with the time delay set to 1 minute than with the delay set to 9 minutes.

A time delay is typically used in situations where there is threat of armed robbery. Statistically, an armed robber will not linger more than a minute
or two at a crime scene. The longer he stays, the greater his risk of being caught. A time delay lock enforces a waiting period which is beyond the
control of either robber or victim.

Whenever a safe is secured with a time delay device, a sign should be posted on the door of the container to indicate the presence of the device.
Suggested wording is:

“THIS EQUIPMENT IS PROTECTED AGAINST HOLD UP AND ROBBERY BY TIME DELAY LOCK.”

A self adhesive label is available from Sargent & Greenleaf distributors or your local safe and lock retailer. The S&G part number for the label is
