warning

Blocking of escape routes due to faulty function

If mortise locks with panic function are to be used together with a locking cylinder, improper use of locking cylinders may result in the panic function not functioning properly.

  1. Make sure that all parts of the closure are in working condition (EN 179).
  2. Only install the cylinder in mortise locks for which it has been expressly approved (refer to the documentation of the lock manufacturer).

Locking in people as a result of closures or sealing strips on the door unit

If locks or sealing strips are attached to the door unit, the locking cylinder may not function properly.

  1. Make sure that any locks or sealing strips do not interfere with the operation of the locking cylinder.

IMPORTANT

Assembly error due to incorrect length

The Digital Cylinder AX is available in various lengths. If you order the wrong length, the Digital Cylinder AX cannot be installed correctly.

  1. Order your Digital Cylinder AX in the correct length or adjust the length yourself.

Mechanical damage to the thumb turn as a result of obstacles

If the thumb turn can knock against the wall or other objects as a result of the installation situation, it may become damaged.

  1. In such situations, use a suitable door stop.

Damage caused by moisture in outdoor use

Moisture can damage the electronics.

  1. If you want to use the locking cylinder for outdoor applications or in high humidity (bathrooms or washrooms), use the WP version.
  2. Carefully insert the locking cylinder to avoid damaging the O-rings.

Damage to the Digital Cylinder AX due to unsuitable tools

Special tools are required to open the cover and dismantle the Digital Cylinder AX. If you use unsuitable tools, you may damage the Digital Cylinder AX.

NOTE

notice

Locking up of persons without means of identification

The freely-rotating construction of the closing cylinder can only be opened with a means of identification from both sides.

  1. Ensure that no persons without means of identification are in the secured area.

Freely rotating active/hybrid Digital Cylinder AX only with shortened range

With freely rotating cylinders, the reader knobs may not have sufficient clearance at low cylinder lengths. Due to the range of the active technology, the radio signal can also be unintentionally received by the second reader knob.

  1. Program freely rotating cylinders with the SmartStick AX or the SmartCD.MP.
  2. Ensure that the short range is selected during programming (standard setting for cylinders factory- supplied as freely rotating).

Door obstructed by locking cylinder

Make sure that the opening and closing of the door is not obstructed by the locking cylinder or parts thereof.
