AuditLok XLV Lock System

Lock Theory

The main lock has an internal sensor to detect if it is in the locked position (bolts extended). D8C inner door or V1/V2 manual drop compartment doors have a spring-bolt lock without an internal sensor. An external plunger sensor detects door condition (open or shut). The outer door lock and sensor are connected to the lock board via cable harness.
D8 Doors: The outer door lock board is mounted on the outer door just above the lock. The outer door features a low-profile 3-point boltwork. The inner door lock board is mounted inside the can.
V1/V2 Doors: Lock boards are mounted in the can. The validator compartment door has a 3-point (CashCode/Mars unit) or 2-point (JCM unit) low profile boltwork.
Max Vend Door: The outer door lock board is mounted in the electronics can. The outer door is equipped five-point bolt piece.

Lock System - D8 Outer Door

A continuous alarm tone sounds if a sensor indicates that a door is open more than five minutes (Alarm Time) or if a sensor detects a door come open or unlocked without a signal to energize the lock. For the outer door this will happen if either the door plunger sensor or internal lock sensor activates. The inner door is equipped with a plunger sensor only. Plunger sensors are adjustable.

Continuous Tone Alarm

A continuous alarm tone sounds if a sensor indicates that a door is open more than five minutes (Alarm Time) or if a sensor detects a door come open or unlocked without a signal to energize the lock. For the outer door this will happen if either the door plunger sensor or internal lock sensor activates. The inner door is equipped with a plunger sensor only. Plunger sensors are adjustable.

Door Will Not Open

Any of several things may be wrong: lock, lock cable, lock board, CPU, a configuration setting, or a mechanical problem.

Lock Sensor Test

Disconnect the lock cable at the lock. Measure continuity between pins 3 and 2 (normally open) at the RJ45 jack on the lock. When the lock is in the locked position the meter should indicate open. When the lock is in the unlocked position the meter should indicate closed. If the lock sensor fails replace the lock.

Door Sensor (Plunger) Test

A simple spring loaded plunger sensor is used to detect physical door status. The plunger switch is normally open. When the plunger switch is pressed (door shut), the plunger switch closes. Disconnect the sensor cable from the can or lock board before checking continuity.

Door Not Responding Message

The message “Door Not Responding” indicates an internal communication problem. If this occurs, first attempt power cycling the safe. If the problem continues, perform the inventory diagnostic and if necessary perform a Device Search. If possible attempt to use a Magic Board to open the safe if all attempts to restore internal communication fail. After the safe door is open check connections and if necessary replace the Lock board.

Lock Board Output Test

This test checks the control voltage output from the lock board. The recommended measurement points listed are on the lock jack (J3) of the lock board. Measure the opposite pin pair (pins 6 and 8) at the other end of the lock cable (the lock cable is a crossover type cable). The purpose of the test is to determine how much voltage is applied to energize the lock and for how long. With Fire Time set to zero the lock voltage (~ 12 VDC) should only be applied for a few seconds (approx. 7 seconds). Note that applying voltage to the lock for more than several seconds will eventually cause internal solenoid failure.
1. Open the safe door.
2. Disconnect the lock cable at the lock.
3. Check and if necessary set Fire Time to zero.
4. Measure lock voltage at lock board J3 PIN 6 with reference to PIN 8. Normally the voltage should be zero. About 12 VDC will appear when the lock is energized. Measure lock voltage while performing the normal outer door opening procedure. The lock board should apply voltage for a few seconds only. If voltage is applied longer, verify Fire Time is zero. If voltage remains applied replace the lock board.
