With Alarm Lock models (P)DL4100 and (P)DL4500, how do I change the Privacy Mode timeout duration?
Lock models (P)DL4100 and (P)DL4500 include a programmable "Privacy Mode" feature typically used with rooms needing temporary privacy from others (e.g., bathrooms, dorms, and meeting rooms). After using an access code to enter the protected room, the user presses a button on the inside lock body to disable the keypad and/or proximity reader to prevent another "Basic User" (credentials associated with User Numbers 12 and greater) from entering for a pre-programmed duration. There is a red LED on the exterior / outside lock that blinks to indicate that the room is occupied.
The factory default Privacy Mode timeout duration is 10 minutes. To change the number of minutes, use the following keypad key sequences:
- Enter Program Mode: Press the Master Code followed by AL.
- Set the timeout duration with Function 68: AL 6 8 AL [enter any number between 001 and 250 minutes] [Star].
- For an "infinite" timeout duration: Set the number in this sequence to "251" and privacy will only end when the interior lever is turned or an "Administrative User" Code (any User Number between 2 and 9) is entered at the keypad.
- Using the metal key to turn the lock cylinder will also end Privacy Mode.
