3. FEATURES OF THE HT24 LOCK 3.1. Automatic Code Change The most important feature of the TESA electronic lock is that it changes its code automatically for each new guest that checks into the room. Each NEW guest card that is presented presented to a lock will automatica automatically lly void the previou previouss guest guest card. card. In a similar manner, the lock will also accept a new master card. Any new master card presented presented to the lock will automatica automatically lly void the previous previous master card. For example, example, if the first floor master card is lost, all that is required is for management to create a NEW first floor master card and insert it in all the locks on the first floor.

3.2. Battery Operation The TESA HT24 lock is operated by 4 AA size Alkaline batteries or, in the case of extreme cold, 4 AA size Lithium batteries. These batteries are expected to last between 2 and 4 years, dependent on a number of factors. Factors that can shorten battery life are: A) the freshness of the batteries when they were purchased, B) use of the lock on a high traffic door, and C) extreme cold (outdoor installations). installations). The lock is completely self contained. It is not connected to the front desk computer or the building building power power..

3.3. Audit Trail The lock has a non-volatile memory. Non-volatile means that the lock will not lose its memory even if the batteries are removed. The lock stores the last 100 openings in its memory. A reading of this memory will show what card was used to open the lock and when the opening occurred.

3.4. Real Time Clock The lock circuitry contains a "real time" clock. This means that the lock "knows" exactly what time of day it is and the date. This allows the lock to make a decision when a card is presented presented and to to reject reject that that card card if if the the checkout checkout date and time time have alrea already dy passed. passed.



3.5. Panic Operation Various life safety codes, building codes, and the ADA, require that the door must be opened from the inside by simply operating the handle. Doing so will retract the deadbolt and latch in one motion.


HT20i Users Manual 4. THE TESA MAGNETIC STRIPE KEY CARD

4.1.

General Description

The TESA keycard is a standard "low coercivity", "ABA" magnetic stripe keycard. Replacement cards may be purchased directly from Tesa Entry Systems International or any other vendor who can guarantee ABA compatibility. The card is reusable. When it is re-encoded with new room information, the previous information is destroyed, much like taping over an old movie on a video tape. If the card becomes dirty, scratched or cracked, you must discard it. Dirty cards can contaminate the read heads in the locks requiring that they be cleaned. Scratched cards may not operate reliably. Cracked cards may break off inside the lock causing inconvenience to your guest.

4.2.

Types of Cards

There are three types of cards used in the TESA system: guest cards, staff cards, and special purpose cards. A guest card is simply a card that opens a single guestroom. A staff card is a master card that opens more than one guestroom. For example, the GRAND MASTER card will open ALL locks in a hotel. The FLOOR MASTER 1 (FM1) card will open the locks on the first floor. Special purpose cards are: Programming Cards, Spare Cards, Blocking Cards, Canceling Cards, and Diagnosis Cards.

4.2.1. Programming Card This card is used in conjunction with a Spare Card to admit a guest to a room when the front desk is unable to encode cards. To do this, take a Programming Card and a Spare Card to the room. Insert the Programming Card and remove it. Both the red and green lights will go on. Immediately, insert the Spare


HT20i Users Manual Card. The red light will go out and the door will unlock. Give the Spare Card to the guest and return the Programming Card to the front desk. You can replace the Programming Card if it becomes lost, or make copies of it. (See page 38.)

4.2.2. Spare Card This card is used in conjunction with the Programming Card to admit a guest to a room when the front desk is unable to encode cards. A Spare Card is identified by having a red logo on it. To admit a guest, take a Programming Card and a Spare Card to the room. Insert the Programming Card and remove it. Both the red and green lights will go on. Immediately, insert the Spare Card. The red light will go out and the door will unlock. Give the Spare Card to the guest and return the Programming Card to the front desk. WARNING: You must be sure to keep an adequate supply of Spare Cards on hand in case of an emergency. A good supply is twice the number of guest rooms that you have. When you issue a Spare Card to a guest, be sure to ask them to return it to the front desk so that you can reuse it.

4.2.3. Blocking Card This card is used to block ANY card from operating the lock. It is commonly used to take a room out of service for an off season, or to seal a room after a criminal incident. A blocked room will not open to ANY card except a master card which has been encoded with this ability. This is usually the GM card for the property. To BLOCK a room, take the Blocking Card to the room and insert the card once. The red light will flash rapidly. The room is now blocked. Any attempt to use a card while the lock is blocked will cause the red light to flash rapidly. To UNBLOCK the room, simply insert the Blocking Card again. The green light will flash once indicating that the room is unblocked. (To create a Blocking Card see page 44.)


HT20i Users Manual

4.2.4. Canceling Card This card is used to immediately cancel the existing guest card. For example, if a guest is behind on his bill, you could use this card in his lock to force him to come to the front desk for assistance. Housekeeping may wish to use this card in a room that has been vacated and cleaned. In this way the guest, who may still be in the hotel, cannot return to the room. To CANCEL a guest card in a lock, take the Canceling Card to the room and insert it in the lock. Both the RED and GREEN lights will flash. The guest card is now canceled. If the guest tries to use his card he will see a red light. Make a new card for the guest to admit him to the room. (To create a Canceling Card, see page 42.)

4.2.5. Diagnosis Card This card is used to test the batteries as well as the card reading function of a lock. This card is encoded with a low strength magnetic signal. If the lock can read this card, it should have no trouble reading any normal card. To use the Diagnosis Card, insert it into a lock. If the lock can read the card you will see one of the following: * Green Light * Green & Red Lights * Quick Red Light

Lock is okay Low Batteries Invalid Card

(To create a Diagnosis Card, see page 49.)

HT20i Users Manual 5. THE PORTABLE PROGRAMMER The Portable Programmer (PP) is used to carry information between the lock and the front desk equipment. It can also be used to open a guest room and to test the operation of a lock. When the locks are first installed, the PP is used to initialize each lock to a particular room number, load its table of room codes, and set the internal clock. Since the PP can be used to unlock a door, it should be secured when not in use. If you are unable to secure the PP, remove and reinstall one battery after use. This will clear the memory and require that the PP be connected to the console before it can be used again. Connection to the console requires a management level password; therefore, proper security is maintained.

5.1. Batteries The PP uses 4 AA batteries, which are expected to provide about 50 hours of use. If the display is not visible, the batteries must be replaced.

5.2. Connecting to the Lock The PP is connected to the lock with the attached cable. On the bottom of the lock, to the right, you will see a hole (called a jack). Insert the end of the cable (the plug) into the jack. Before you connect the PP to the lock, however, you may first need to connect it to the console. This generally depends upon the operation you wish to perform. In fact, the PP may inform you if it needs to be connected to the console first. The reasons for this will become clear as you read further in this section.

5.3. Connecting to the Front Desk Console The PP is connected to the front desk console with a 9 pin cable. Plug one end of the cable into the connector on the PP. Plug the other end of the cable into the connector on the rear of the console labelled PP RS 485. The connector will only go in one way. Refer to the sections "Load PP" (page 33) or "Lock Report" (page 55) for the next steps to follow.

5.4. Function keys on the PP 5.4.1. ON/CLR (red) This button turns the PP on. It also is used to clear or abort an operation and return to the menu.

5.4.2. OFF This button turns the PP off. The PP will turn itself off after about 30 seconds of inactivity.

5.4.3. MENU This button selects the various menu choices. Each time you press the MENU button it will advance to show you the next menu choice.

5.4.4. TX (green) The TX button is the "transmit" or "GO" button. It is used to start the communication with the lock once the correct menu selection has been made.

5.4.5. UP & DOWN ARROWS These buttons scroll through the options within a menu choice. For example, if you have used the MENU button to select the UPDATE menu, then the up and down arrow keys will allow you to select the proper door to be updated.


HT20i Users Manual

5.5. Menu Choices 5.5.1. Update Update is used to make the data in the lock match the data in the front desk console. You will update a lock for the following reasons: 1.

When daylight savings time changes.

2.

If you change the code of a Programming Card, a Canceling Card, or a Blocking Card.

3.

If a change is made to the locking plan.

4.

If the Console ever becomes damaged and is replaced. In this case, the PP recovers the active key codes from the locks and loads them into the replacement Console.

Update will also notify a lock if a master card has been changed. To update the information in a lock, you must first download the data from the console to the PP. See the section on LOAD PP (page 33) for instructions. After the PP is loaded with data, go to the door in question and follow these steps:

1.

Plug the PP into the lock

2.

Turn on the PP (red button)

3.

Press the MENU button until UPDATE appears.

4.

Press the UP or DOWN arrow key to select the desired room. (see note)

5.

Press the green TX button.

6.

Unplug the PP when it is finished.


HT20i Users Manual NOTE: While it is good procedure to select the proper room number with the arrow keys, you will find that you cannot update a lock to the wrong room number. The PP is intelligent in that it "knows" what lock it is plugged into and will only update THAT lock. You will also notice that if you have to update several locks, the room numbers disappear from the list in the PP as they are updated. This feature is particularly useful during a time change because you can quickly see if you have missed any locks when you intended to update ALL the locks on your property.

1.1.1. Read Openings The lock contains an audit trail of the last 100 openings. To view this audit trail you must use the READ OPENINGS function of the PP. To read a lock, perform the following steps:

1.

Go to the desired door and connect the PP.

2. Turn the PP on and select READ OPENINGS by pressing the MENU button. 3.


4.

Unplug the PP and take it to the front desk console.

5.

Refer to the section on LOCK REPORT to print this report (page 55).

NOTE: You may read the openings of more than one lock. You will be allowed to select which lock openings to print at the front desk console.

1.1.2. Test The TEST function will test most functions of the lock, including the batteries, the electronics, and the handle switches. It will also indicate the reason a card was rejected in a lock. A good time to test each lock is during the time change that occurs twice each year, since you are at the door with the PP.

This lock is now initialized. Make a guest card for the lock and test it. Also, be sure to test the master card(s).


HT20i Users Manual

1.1.4. Open The OPEN function can be used to unlock a door that won't respond to a guest card or any master cards. It will even open a door that has missing or dead batteries. To OPEN a door with the PP, do the following:

1.

Connect the PP to the lock and turn it ON.

2.

Select OPEN by pressing the MENU button.

3.

If an "Open Code" password was requested when the PP was downloaded, you will see the message "Access Code:" on the screen. Press the UP arrow to find the first digit of the code and then press TX. Press the UP arrow again to find the second digit and press TX. Repeat this procedure for digits 3 and 4. 4. Press the green TX button. The PP will display and the lock should open.

"Transmitting"

Just like an "E" key, the OPEN function will unlock a door that is locked with the deadbolt. For this reason the PP should be secured when not in use. If you cannot secure the PP, remove and reinstall one battery after each use. This will require that you connect the PP to the console and use the LOAD PP function prior to performing the 3 steps above.


HT20i Users Manual 2. FRONT DESK CONTROLLER

2.1. General Description The Front Desk Controller is vital to the operation of the TESA lock system. Its primary function is to encode cards for the TESA locks. To do this, it must be able to remember how each lock is encoded, the current code for each lock, and how to calculate the next code for each lock. This is true for guest cards and master cards. The locking plan for your hotel has been loaded into the console by the factory. It is not possible to make any changes to the locking plan from the console. If you need to add rooms, or make any other changes, contact TESA for help. The Controller maintains in its memory a list of the last 4,000 transactions performed at the keyboard. This is available to the Manager in the form of a printed report. To print this report, you need the optional TESA printer. Do not attempt to use any other type of printer, as serious damage to the Console will occur. To communicate with a lock, the console must be connected to the PP. There is a 9 pin plug on the back of the unit for this purpose.

How to Encode a Card

Hold the card in your hand so that you can read it and the arrow points into the reader. When the display shows “INSERT CARD”, insert the the card into the encoder slot on the top of the console. If this is done correctly, the magnetic strip on the card will face away from you and will be on your left. Insert the card completely into the slot in one smooth motion. When you see the message “WITHDRAW CARD”, do so and the card is encoded. You then have the option of encoding additional cards at this time, by pressing ENT to each message to confirm that you wish to do this. Follow the same procedure for each card you wish to encode. Press EXIT to end the process. NOTE:

Some hotels require a special authorization for some amenities such as the optional use of a room safe, elevator, concierge level, or pool. If your hotel requires this feature, you will be prompted for each type of special privilege prior to being instructed to insert the card to be encoded. Press ENT to confirm each authorization or CLR to say no. For every authorization you select, the first letter of that authorization will appear below the expiration date on the screen. A card encoded for use of the safe and the pool will display the letters “SP” beneath the expiration date.

HT20i Users Manual 6. LEVEL 3 ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS In addition to the Level 1 and Level 2 functions, a Level 3 user can perform the following additional functions:

6.1. Change Masters This function is used to "rekey" the property if a master card is lost. It completely replaces the lost master with a NEW master. As soon as the NEW master is used to open a lock it cancels the previous master. The change you make only affects that particular master. To change a master and make some replacement cards, perform the following steps:

Change the expiration date for the master by typing over the date with the date. Each time you enter a digit, the cursor will advance. Pressing the changing it. To make a master card that will be good for one year, enter yesterday's date. Since the date displayed is tomorrow, you must subtract 2 days from the display. In our example, since the display is 01/16, today must be 01/15, so would encode the master card for 01/14 if we wanted it to operate for one year. Insert and remove the new card to encode the card. You will then see the following:

CHANGE MASTERS GM #2 01/16 Next Copy ? 8.

Press the ENT key if you wish to make another copy. All copies made in this manner will expire on the same date. If you wish to have a different expiration date, use the ISSUE MASTER function to make copies.

9.

Record the user's name, the name of the card (i.e.,GM), the copy number, and the date issued in your log book.


HT20i HT20i Users Users Manual Manual 10. Finally, you must inform each lock on the property a master has been changed. This can be accomplished by downloading the new information to the Portable Programmer and using the Update function at each lock. By using this method, you can insure that every door is updated with the new information, as the PP deletes each door from the update list as it is updated.



6.2. Programming Card A Programming Card is one part of the Spare Card system. The Spare Card system is used to admit guests to rooms when the front desk console is unable to make new cards. Use this function when you need to either make a NEW Programming Card, or a COPY of a Programming Card. Use the PP to UPDATE each lock with the information for the new programm programming ing card. card. See page 5 for instructions on the use of this card.

If you make a NEW Programming Card you must load the PP and use the UPDATE function to inform all the locks on the property about this change.



6.3. Spare Card This card is used in conjunction with the Programming Card to admit a guest to a room when the front desk is unable to encode cards. A Spare Card is identified by the red TESA logo on it. Take a Programming Card and a Spare Card to the room. Insert the Programming Card and remove it. Both the red and green lights will go on. Immediately, insert the Spare Card. The red light will go out and the door will unlock. Give the Spare Card to the guest and return the Programming Card to the front desk. WARNING : You must be sure to keep an adequate supply of Spare Cards on hand in case of an emergency. A good supply is twice the number of guestrooms that you have. When you issue a Spare Card to a guest, be sure to ask them to return it to the front desk so that you can reuse it.

6.4. Canceling Card This card is used to immediately cancel the existing guest card. For example, if a guest is behind on his bill, you could use this card in the lock to force him to come to the front desk for assistance. Housekeeping may wish to use this card in a room that has been vacated and cleaned. In this way, the guest, who may still be in the hotel, cannot return to the room. See page 6 for instructions on the use of this card. You will be given the option to make either a COPY or NEW Canceling Card. If you make a NEW Canceling Card, the previous Canceling Card will be voided. As you know, an old card is not actually voided in a lock until the replacement card is used. However, if you were to insert the Canceling Card in all your guest locks for the purpose of voiding the previous card you would cancel all the cards for all your guests! This is obviously an undesirable condition. Instead, use the PP to UPDATE all the locks. This will inform the lock that the code for the Canceling Card has been changed, but it will not inconvenience your guests. To create a guest Canceling Card, perform the following steps:

1.


2.

Press MENU and use the down arrow to scroll until you highlight “CANCELING CARD”, as in this display:

HT20i Users Manual

Blocking Card This card is used to block ANY card from operating the lock. It is commonly used to take a room out of service for an off season, or to seal a room after a criminal incident. A blocked room will not open to ANY card except master cards which have been encoded with this ability. This is usually the GM card for the property. See page 6 for instructions on the use of this card. You will be given the option to make either a COPY or NEW Blocking Card. If you make a NEW Blocking Card, the previous Blocking Card will be voided. As you know, an old card is not actually voided in a lock until the replacement card is used. You may visit each lock and insert the Blocking Card once to block the room, and once again, to unblock the room. However, since there is a chance for error (a room may accidentally be left blocked) a more efficient method is to use the UPDATE function of the PP to inform all the locks that the code of the Blocking Card has changed. To create a Blocking Card, perform the following steps:

1.


2.

Press MENU and use the down arrow until you highlight “BLOCKING CARD “ as in this display:

HT20i Users Manual 7. WALL READERS Your hotel may be equipped with "wall readers" and special electric locks on some of the outside doors. These locks can be unlocked by any guest with a valid room card. The locks can be unlocked and left unlocked by inserting any master card that has Office Function on it two times. It can be locked again by repeating this procedure.

7.1. Wall Reader Technical Information. The offline reader has many of the features of the online reader, but with the philosophy and flexibility of a standard electronic lock. After reading a valid card, the reader’s control unit closes its relay contacts to activate an electric strike or some other electric device. The reader has two lights (red and green) to indicate the status of reading and validating a card. For security reasons, the device that determines the validity of a request to open the door is in the control unit and the actuating relay is also in this unit. The control unit is physically installed in a secured location inside the protected area. This insures that is not possible to open the door by attacking the reader. The main characteristics of the Offline Reader are as follows:

-

The control unit has non-volatile memory (EEPROM type) that retains its data, even if the power supply is disconnected.

-

It rejects expired cards.

-

It rejects a card used out of its valid shift.

-

It can be set to passage mode (free access) and be reset to standard mode, in which it requires a valid card, with certain authorized cards.

-

It reads the card during insertion and during withdrawal.

-

It accomplishes lock openings by operating an electric relay.

-

It can be opened with a Portable Programmer.


HT20i Users Manual The components of the unit are identified as follows: Offline control unit Mag-stripe reader

CA22 LE22V

OPERATION

When a card is inserted, the offline reader reads the data on the magnetic track (magnetic code, initial and expiration date, shift, etc.). This information is sent to the control unit where the validity of the card is checked. If the card is valid, the control unit activates the relay, unlocking the door. The offline reader requires an external power supply connected to the control unit (12 to 24 volts AC/DC). The clock related data (hour, time table and calendar) are protected by the electronics against loss due to power failures of up to 12 hours. 2.1 Basic Operation

The offline reader’s basic mode of operation is to open for a valid card. To operate the reader, insert and remove a card. You will see one of the following light indications:

1.

Green Light - Valid opening.

2.

Immediate Red Light - Invalid attempt. The card may not be valid for this reader, or it may have expired or been voided by a new card.

3.

Flashing Red and Green Lights - Card out of shift.

4.

Flashing Green Light - Free Access (Passage Mode). A card is not required to open the door.

5.

Red Light (Delayed 6 seconds) - Card not encoded or inserted incorrectly. This could be due to a dirty read head.


HT20i Users Manual 2.2 Modes of operation

-

Passage mode The offline reader can be set manually to Passage (free access) mode by inserting specially authorized cards twice (known as “double dipping”). If the reader is programmed with the Passage option enabled, to unlock the door (free access mode) insert an authorized card twice. The second time the card is inserted, you will see the green light flicker for a few seconds and the reader will remain open. In order to lock the unit, repeat the double dipping operation. Following the second insertion, the red light will come on for a few seconds.

-

Standard mode This is the normal mode of operation of the reader. A valid card is required to activate the reader.

2.3 Operations with the Portable Programmer

There are certain functions that require a Portable Programmer, which transfers data between the computer and locks and offline readers. For more details on the Portable Programmer, refer to the appropriate section of this manual. The connection is made by inserting the Portable Programmer’s plug into the reader’s jack. The reader will only respond to a Portable Programmer that has been loaded with the correct system code. The menu options in the Portable Programmer, as related to the operation of readers, are as follows: 1.

Update - This function is used to update the locking plan, and the date and time in a reader to agree with the main system information.

2.

Read openings - This function is used to collect information about opening attempts of the reader, for transfer of the data to the console.

3.

Test - This function is used to test the operation of some of the reader’s functions and main components.


HT20i Users Manual 4. Initialize - This function is used to program an offline reader with its name/number and all necessary system data. It should only be necessary to perform this procedure once, unless the reader is moved to another location. In any other case, use the “Update” function. It may be necessary to depress the button in the control unit before performing initialization. 5.

Open - This function is used to open a device controlled by a reader, without using a card. This function is useful if the card reader is damaged.


HT20i Users Manual 3. INSTALLATION

To install a reader, install a standard electric box at the desired location, as shown in Figure 1. Consider Life Safety codes and ADA requirements when placing the unit. Connect the wires to the control unit. Then, insert the upper part of the reader into the plate and attach it with Torx screws (5).

Drilling a Lock

On rare occasions, it is necessary to drill a lock, if there has been a major failure of the internal electronics. To drill a lock you will need an electric drill, a 1/4" diameter drill bit, a small pointed probe (like an ice pick), a pair of pliers (like Channel locks), and a flashlight.

To drill a lock, perform the following steps:

1.

Measure 2 1/4 inches from the tip of the drill bit and wrap a piece of tape around the bit at this point. This is to serve as a depth gauge so you don't drill too far.

2.

Turn the outside handle, remove the TORX screw, and remove the handle.

3.

Insert the drill bit into the handle shaft.

4.

Center the bit and drill in until your tape mark lines up with the handle shaft. Stop drilling if you feel the bit break through .

Has the card expired? What is the date? What is the checkout hour?

2.

Was a new guest checked into that room by mistake? If so, his card would the existing card.

3.

Was a guest Canceling Card used in the lock? Read the openings of the lock to determine this.

have canceled

14.2. A lock displays a flashing red and green light to a GUEST card.

This means that the deadbolt is thrown. If you know for a FACT that there is no one in the room, then it may be a malfunction of the deadbolt micro switch. Open the door with the PP or the GM card. Check the lock with the GUEST card again. If the problem persists remove the lock to see if the wire is pinched. If the wire is OK, then replace the lock case in the edge of the door. 14.3. A lock displays a flashing red and green light to a housekeeping card.

This is not a problem. This is simply an indication to the housekeeper that the guest is still in the room. 14.4. A lock displays a flashing RED light.

This means the lock was BLOCKED with the Blocking Card. Use the Blocking Card again to unblock the room.


HT20i Users Manual 14.5. The lock displays the green light and you hear the lock motor click, but the door won't open. This may be due to a stuck clutch. Try lifting UP on the handle instead of pushing down. If the door opens, DO NOT LET IT CLOSE. Remove the lock and return it for repairs. If the lock is an outside application, and if it is below zero degrees fahrenheit, the clutch may be frozen. Warm the area around the outside handle with a hair dryer. The lock should open. If it does, call TESA for advice. 14.6. A lock displays a green light and a flashing red light to a master card. The door opens properly.

This is the LOW BATTERY indication. It is only displayed to master cards, NOT guest cards. Change the batteries. If you see this indication on more than one lock, and if your locks have been installed for at least two years, replace ALL the batteries in ALL the locks. If this is not the case, call TESA. If you replace the batteries, please purchase the BEST quality Alkaline batteries available. Ask the supplier what the shelf expiration date is. It should be AT LEAST 4 years away. 14.7. The lock does not show any lights at all when a valid card is inserted.

Try opening the lock with the PP. If this does not work, remove the batteries, wait about one hour, and then try opening the door with the PP. Next, replace the batteries and try to open with the PP. If the lock still will not open, you must drill the lock. The TESA lock is guaranteed for two years. For this reason, you should send in a troublesome lock even if you think you have corrected the problem. It will be checked by a qualified technician and returned in good working order.


HT20i Users Manual 15. RENT TO OWN

15.1.General Description of RTO. The RENT TO OWN (RTO) program is like a lease. If you are participating in the RTO program, the lock system was installed and you are making periodic payments until the lease agreement has concluded. In this agreement, you were advised that we have a built in mechanism to provide for prompt payment. If the periodic payments are not made the lock system will stop working and you will be unable to make guest cards. Each time you make a payment, TESA will contact you with a special code to be entered into your equipment. This code will allow the system to be used until the next payment is due. The system will start to warn you that it is expecting a new code at about seven days from system termination. When you have made the last payment the final code will convert the system to normal operation.

FAIR WARNING! This system is very secure. There is absolutely NOTHING anyone can do for you if you let your payments lapse, except to offer sympathy. 15.2. Do I have RTO? Press the F1 key on the console. If you see a display similar to RTO.

96/02/01 #01 __

this one, then your system is

(29)


HT20i Users Manual In this example the display shows the current date, 1996, February 1st. The (29) means that there are twenty nine days remaining in this payment period. The #01 means that you are in the first payment period. The unit is now waiting for you to input a new code for the next payment period. When the new code is entered the period will advance to the next period number.

15.3. Warning Alert! During the last seven days of a period the console will beep approximately every sixty seconds, and briefly display this message:

WARNING: ASK FOR RENT TO OWN CODE

In fact, it will be quite persistent and very annoying. This is for your protection. This behavior is designed to get your attention and remind you that your entire lock system is about to stop working. When this happens, you will no longer be able to rent rooms to your guests .
