dead, then just hold a fresh 9 volt
alkaline battery to the contacts,
enter the existing combination,
and turn the outer ring whilst
holding the battery in place.
If you place the battery in the
wrong polarity position, nothing
will happen. The keypad will not
register any input. The pad will
not beep and the diode will not
flash. Just reverse the battery and
the lock will open. These contacts
are labeled External Emergency
Power Terminals.
Another basic function includes
a wrong try penalty. If four wrong
combinations are tired, the lock
will shut down and not accept any
input through the key pad. The
diode will blink every 10 seconds
until the waiting period is over.
The combination can be
changed on this series of locks in
the standard way, the 0,1,2, or by
using the optional combo gard
programmer. These days, we
change combination, or reprogram
combination locks. Progress!
The 0,1,2 changing procedure is
easy and simple to remember.
First enter 6 zeros, 0,0,0,0,0,0.
Then enter the existing
combination once. When the pad
beeps, enter the NEW
combination twice.
After each enter, there
are beeps. Now, try the
new combination and it
should work. If you
have messed up, the old
combination will be the
default combination.
ADVANCED
FUNCTIONS
The 33E series locks
can be further pro-
grammed with advanced
functions. TO do this,
however, a hand held
electronic programmer
is needed. LaGard Part
number is #3405 hand
held programmer. With
this optional unit, fur-
ther features can be
incorporated into the
33E series locks. These
include:
1. Second user
2. Time delay, 1 to
99 minutes, and an
opening
window of between 1 -
19 minutes.
3. Time delay override
-Emergency opening
4. Dual Combinations
5. Silent Signal Alarm
6. Remote override signal
I will not dwell on these
functions for a very basic reason.
The programmer costs about
$275.00, but before you can buy it,
you must receive training on how
to use it. The basic 33E series
lock costs $109.00 and can be used
to retrofit most combination locks
without prior instruction or use of
the programmer module.
INSIDE STUFF
I took the mounted lock apart to
see some of the inside functions. I
have included some of the
schematic (blown apart) picture of
the 33E series locks for
consideration (see Illustration B).
I found a couple of interesting
parts that I missed on the
diagrams. Photograph 4, shows
the inside of the lock with the
spindle cam marked with a magic
marker arrow. The arrow in this
picture is pointing to the solenoid
(similar to the one on the 3300
swing bolt series of locks) that
blocks the movement of the lock
bolt. This solenoid is larger than
the swing bolt unit and beefier.
Photograph 5, has the arrow
pointing to a relock spring
incorporated into the lock. If the
back cover is broken off, this
116 • The National Locksmith
Photograph 4. The arrow points to the tip
of the solenoid that blocks movement of
the combination bolt.
