  2. A single beep should be heard
  3. Dial ** 888 888 # again
  4. A single beep should be heard
    1. If it's an ACR, the numbers should turn on, counting up from 1. Wait until the beep.
  5. Try pairing the lock again

  1. Remove the lock from the door
  2. Unscrew the black back panel on the keypad side

Keypad not lighting up at all / Not responding

The batteries are likely dead.

Solution 2 (NEO):

Charge the lock externally

Solution 3:

The keypad is locked out due to multiple wrong attempts

  1. If multiple wrong attempts are made, the lock may stop responding for a minute as a security measure

The lock isn't receiving the PIN numbers from KAS Access

Ensure the lock is in the correct mode

    1. If this is an ACR, the numbers will turn on, counting up from 1. Wait for the beep.
  2. A single beep should be heard
  3. Try to add the PIN number again
    1. If this fails, please hover your mouse over the red square in the Queue Table to see the error code

Solution 2:

Ensure the lock can see a gateway

  1. In the KAS Access interface, select "Doors and Locks" and then "ACRs and Locks"
  2. Locate your lock and select "Health Check" on the right side
  3. Ensure that at least one of the gateways (primary/secondary) are NOT "N/A"
    1. If the lock cannot see a gateway, it is either turned off, or does not have good enough reception
