Hardware Troubleshooting

Cycle lock in both the locked and unlocked positions. If problems are found:

Bolt will not extend and lock jam alarm occurs

a. Confirm manual operation.
b. Enter your Master PIN code.
c. With the bolt retracted, press menu Option 3 for Advanced Lock Settings.
d. Press Option 5 to rehand the lock.
e. Test the operation; locking the door via the keypad.

Door is binding

a. Check that door and frame are properly aligned and door is free swinging.
b. Check hinges: They should not be loose or have excessive wear on knuckles.

Bolt will not deadlock

a. Check for sufficient clearance of the bolt within the strike-side jamb.
Correct this by increasing the depth of the pocket for the bolt.

b. Check for misalignment of bolt and/or strike which may be preventing bolt
from properly entering the strike. With the door open, extend and retract the
bolt; if it is smooth, check the strike alignment.

Bolt does not extend or retract smoothly

a. Bolt and strike are misaligned, see above.
b. Check the backset of door relative to adjustments already made to bolt.
c. Verify proper door preparation and re-bore holes that are too small or
misaligned.
d. Verify touchscreen wire harness is routed properly (see Step 10).
e. Verify bolt is installed with correct side up (see Step 6).

Keypad numerics are scrolling

Remove interior lock and check to ensure that the wire harness is routed
properly (see Step 10).

NOTE TO INSTALLER AND CONSUMER
While Yale has included several features to prevent lockout

®

(9-Volt battery jumper, low battery warnings), it is still possible
for a lockout situation to occur. Because this product does not
have a mechanical override (a key), Yale recommends to use

®

this product in an environment where there are additional
entry points into the dwelling.

Resetting Lock to Factory Default

When resetting the lock, all user codes,
including the Master PIN code*, are deleted. All
programming features are reset to original
default settings (see below).

1. Remove the battery cover and batteries.

2. Remove the interior lock to access the reset
button hole. (See image at right.)

3. Re-insert 3 batteries and insert a small
screwdriver into the hole; holding the reset
button for 3 seconds.

4. While still holding the reset button, insert the
4th battery and hold the reset button for an
additional 3 seconds.

5. Release the reset button.

6. Re-install the interior lock onto the door.

Upon reset, Master PIN Code creation is the
only option available and must be performed
prior to any other programming of the lock.

For best results, the lock should be installed on the
door when resetting the lock to factory default. If the
process was done and the lock was not installed on
the door, review the Re-Handing instructions listed in
Hardware Troubleshooting.

Definitions

All Code Lockout Mode: This feature is enabled by the Master code. When enabled, it restricts all user (except Master)
PIN code access. When attempting to enter a code while the unit is in Lockout, the RED locked padlock will appear on
the screen.

Automatic Re-lock Time: After a successful unlock, the unit will re-lock automatically after duration selected in the
Advanced Lock Settings (Main Menu selection #3).

Handing the Lock: Lock handing refers to which direction the bolt comes out of the door (right or left). If the lock was

programmed off the door, the lock may need adjusting. Review Handing the Lock instructions and/or Re-Handing
instructions listed in Hardware Troubleshooting.

Inside Indicator Light: Located on the interior escutcheon. Shows active status (Locked) of lock and can be enabled or
disabled in the Advanced Lock Settings (Main Menu selection #3).

Language Setting Mode: Choosing English (1), Spanish (2) or French (3) becomes the (default) setting for the lock's
voice prompts.

Low Battery: When battery power is low, the Low Battery Warning indicator flashes RED. If battery power is completely
lost, use the 9Volt battery override. To use the 9V battery override apply 9V battery, in either direction, to terminals
below the touchscreen for backup power option. Wake up the lock and enter your pin code to unlock the door.

Master PIN Code: The Master PIN code is used for programming and for feature settings. It must be created prior to
programming the lock. The Master code will also operate (unlock/lock) the lock.

Network Module Setting: With the optional Network Module installed, this setting becomes available thru the Main

Menu (7) and allows the lock to connect with a network controller.

One Touch Locking: When the latch is retracted, activating the keypad will extend the latch (during Automatic Re-lock
duration or when Automatic Re-lock is disabled). When One-Touch Re-lock is not in use (disabled), any valid PIN code
will re-lock the lock.

Previous: While in Menu Mode, pressing this icon cancels the current operation and returns the user to the previous
step.

Privacy Mode: Privacy mode is disabled by default. Enable Privacy mode by pressing the privacy button for 4 seconds
to put lock in do-not-disturb mode (all pin codes are disabled).

Shutdown Time: The unit will shutdown (flashing RED) for sixty (60) seconds and not allow operation after the wrong
code entry limit (5 attempts) has been met.

Tamper Alert: Audible alarm sounds if attempting to forcibly remove outside lock from door.

User PIN Code: The user code operates the lock. The maximum number of user codes with Z-Wave Plus or Zigbee

network module is 250; without network module or with iM1 network module, maximum is 25; with Bluetooth,
maximum is 12. Note: When deleting user pin code(s), screen will display user pin code being deleted.

Volume Setting Mode: The volume setting for PIN code verification is set to Low (2) by default; otherwise it can be set
to High (1) or Silent (3) for quiet areas.

Wrong Code Entry Limit: After five (5) unsuccessful attempts at entering a valid PIN code, the unit will shut down and
not allow operation for sixty (60) seconds.

Feature Programming Through Menu Mode
Using Master PIN code*

1. Touch screen with back of hand or palm to activate.

2. Enter 4-8 digit master PIN code* followed by key.
Lock Response: "Menu mode, enter number, press key to continue."

3. Enter digit corresponding to the function to be performed followed by the key. Follow the voice commands.

*The Master PIN code must be registered prior to any other programming of the lock.

Note: After Master PIN code is entered, lock will automatically hand itself. For best results, lock should be installed
on door during this process. If this process was done and lock was not installed on door, review the Re-Handing
instructions listed in Hardware Troubleshooting.
