UÊ The automated latch release is used in conjunction with automatic locking systems for unlocking doors by motor.
UÊ It is suitable for installation in timber, aluminium, steel and PVC front doors for residential and public buildings.
UÊ All assembly and electrical installation work must be carried out according to our assembly and installation instruc-
tions. Wiring the unit incorrectly can irreparably damage its electronic components.
UÊ The automated latch release can be connected to an external access control system (e.g. wireless, transponder or
fingerprint scanner system) via a voltage-free contact (switching time: min. 1 second).
UÊ Use the automated latch release only when it is in a technically sound condition. Do not modify the unit's components
in any way.
UÊ Use the automated latch release only with genuine KFV accessories.
Improper use
UÊ The automated latch release must not be installed in moisture-prone areas or areas with a corrosive atmosphere (e.g.
electroplating shops).
UÊ The length of the cable between the power supply and the automated latch release must not exceed 13 m.
Safety notes
UÊ Work on an 230 V AC mains power supply may only be performed by a qualified electrician.
UÊ All work on the 230 V AC mains power supply must be carried out in compliance with the current German VDE regu-
lations (e.g. VDE 0100) and any relevant country-specific requirements.
UÊ All-pole safety isolation should be used when fitting the power lead on-site.
UÊ Some external access control systems available on the market transmit a brief "open" signal when the operating
voltage is switched on. This can mean that the automated latch release will open the door following a power cut.
If in doubt, please contact the system manufacturer.
Warning
Where power supply cables are routed parallel to data cables (IDSN, DSL etc), interference can occur, eg: with
the data transfer speed.

Operating instructions
Automated latch release
Switching the acoustic signal on and off
In its "supplied" state, the automated latch release beeps as it draws the latch electrically into the changeover function.
It emits a constant beep for as long as terminal 4 receives an "open" signal. In some cases this constant beeping is undesirable, e.g. if the door needs to be kept unlocked to provide permanent access at certain times.
In this instance, the automated latch release can be prevented from beeping by programming it as described below.
1.) Retract all locking elements
2.) Open the door and hold it open
3.) Switch off the operating voltage
4.) Press and hold down the "open" button (terminal 2 (+) with terminal 4 ("open"))
5.) Switch on the operating voltage
6.) The automated latch release now switches to programming mode (a sequence of beeps is heard)
7.) Release the "open" button for about 1 s and press and hold it down once again
ENGLISH
8.) An sequence of beeps is generated to indicate that programming was successful
These programming steps can be followed any number of times in order to switch between the following two modes.
- Automated latch release beeps as the latch is drawn into the changeover function
- Automated latch release does not beep as the latch is drawn into the changeover function
Whichever mode is currently selected will remain active even if the power supply is interrupted.

Automated latch release
Operating instructions
Locking and unlocking the door
Night mode
Locking the door: When the door clicks shut, the hookbolts in the additional lock cases automatically engage.
Unlocking the door: The door can be unlocked by turning the profile cylinder or the indoor lever handle, and
can be opened by the automated latch release.
Day mode
Locking the door: Using an optional device – the daytime unlocking mechanism – the hookbolts in the additi onal lock cases can be prevented from automatically engaging. In this case the door is
held shut by the latch only.
Unlocking the door: The door can be unlocked by turning the profile cylinder or the indoor lever handle, and
can be opened by the automated latch release.
Child safety lock
Locking the door: If the door is currently in night mode and was locked automatically, the deadbolt in the
main lock can be retracted by turning the profile cylinder. This places the lock in child
safety mode.
Unlocking the door: If the child safety lock is active, the door cannot be opened using the internal handle or
the automated latch release. To enable these actions, the child safety lock must first be
deactivated by turning the profile cylinder.

Note: If the red LED L3 lights up at the same time as the green LED L2, this indicates that the button on the handheld
wireless transmitter was already programmed, but has now been deleted.
ENGLISH
The other button on the handheld wireless transmitter can be assigned to the same wireless receiver or to a different
one, as required.
Deleting handheld wireless transmitters
If a handheld wireless transmitter has been lost or stolen, it cannot be deleted individually; all handheld wireless transmitters must be deleted at once.
› Press down button P1 until the green LED L2 lights up.
› Briefly release button P1, then press it down again until the red LED L3 and the green LED L2 light up three times.
› You have now deleted all handheld wireless transmitters. The remaining handheld wireless transmitters must be pro grammed in again.

Operating instructions
Infra-red master key
The infra-red master key is needed for programming in
and deleting infra-red access keys. Before it can be
used for programming in infra-red access keys, it must
firstly be programmed in itself
UÊ Only one infra-red master key is permissible per F-
type automated latch release. However, any number
of F-type automated latch releases can be assigned to
a single infra-red master key.
UÊ The infra-red master key cannot be used to open the
door; it is for programming only.
Using infra-red access keys
For correct signal transmission, the infra-red access key
should be positioned between approx. 2 and 7 m from the
infra-red eye. The quality of the signal depends on the charge level of the batteries and the amount of sunlight. If the
infra-red eye is exposed to strong sunlight, the key should be
operated closer to the eye.
Unlocking/opening the door
› Press the "open" button. This will unlock the door. The
LED on the infra-red eye will light up.
Fig. 3: Infra-red master key
Important
UÊ For security reasons, if you lose the infra-red master key you should switch off the operating voltage on the automated
latch release until you have obtained a new infra-red master key from a specialist dealer and programmed it into the
system.
UÊ It is not possible to obtain information about opening sequences triggered by the integrated infra-red access control
system, as the automated latch release does not store this information.
UÊ For security reasons, all infra-red access keys must be programmed in individually.
UÊ The infra-red master key should always be kept under lock and key in order to prevent misuse.

Handheld wireless transmitter
Note: Functions already programmed into the handheld wireless transmitter will remain unchanged following battery repla-
cement.
Fig. 4: Replacing the batteries in the handheld wireless transmitter
› Stack two CR 2016 batteries on top of one another with their positive terminals facing upwards, and place them in
the battery compartment.
Infra-red access keys
When the battery charge level has fallen to around 40%, the system will briefly beep three times at the end of the opening
sequence or the start of the programming sequence. These beeps serve as advance warning that the batteries need to be
replaced.
Note: Functions already programmed into the infra-red access key will remain unchanged following battery replacement.
