The electronics offer numerous adjustable functions and operating modes for private and public use, freely selectable master and user codes, busy indicator and AUTO OPEN TIMER in public mode, battery warning and much more. Operation and programming are supported by visual and acoustic signals. During development, we focused primarily on efficiency and ease of maintenance. The result is a finely tuned system of mechanics, electronics and software that, depending on the operating mode, allows more than 100,000 locking cycles with a single standard 1.5V AA alkaline battery, which not only keeps maintenance costs extremely low but also protects the environment. Despite the wide range of functions and very long battery life, we have equipped the 1904 with an additional mechanical locking cylinder with a service key, which, in addition to providing an ultimate emergency opening function, also has a special significance.
When the time comes to change the battery, the administrator can look forward to another highlight: in no time at all, the control panel and battery can be quickly and discreetly removed from the front using a service key, without having to open the cabinet door. No additional tools are required, and there is no need to unscrew or remove the lock. Changing the battery takes just a matter of seconds. Of course, all codes and settings are retained.
The patent-pending coupling system offers even more advantages. Programming or reprogramming does not necessarily have to be done at the cabinet, but can be conveniently carried out at a separate location. This is a huge advantage, especially for low compartment cabinets, where the locks are often located at knee height. When transporting cabinets, removing the control panels can save those crucial millimetres to create space for an additional row of cabinets on the loading area. The RJ1904 PIN code lock is the first in a series of electronic locking systems that we will be launching on the market in the near future.
