TROUBLESHOOTING THE V SERIES ELECTRONIC LOCK
This table summarizes the possible causes for certain lock problems
based on visible and audible signals (LEDs, sounder, and whether access
is granted or denied). The causes of failure are listed in the order of
likelihood. (The most likely cause is first, and so forth.)
Another helpful tool to use when troubleshooting the V Series
Electronic Lock and the V Series Controller is the lock’s history of
events. Appendix B lists the types of events recorded in the history and
their meaning. For information about retrieving, viewing, and printing
history records, see the IPS User Manual or the Handheld Terminal
User Manual.
