Duress Alarm (a.k.a. Silent Signal Alarm) is a feature that allows the
user to signal secretly they are in a troubled condition, such as a rob-
bery or an intruder in the home.
Provides a silent and safe means to summon help in an emer-
gency.
The Duress Alarm feature must be turned ON to provide signal-
ing. See Programming section for details.
The Duress Signal can be sent without an observer realizing a
signal has been activated.
The Duress Signal is activated by pressing 1 and 5 keys simul-
taneously after the final Keystroke of a valid code.
The lock will respond and open normally when the Duress
Signal has been activated.
Requires hard-wiring to an alarm system that has appropriate
capabilities and is monitored for emergency response.
The Duress Signal output makes a connection for three (3) sec-
onds when activated.
Open Door Signaling is a feature that provides an output signal when-
ever the lock is in an open condition, so that an Alarm System can notify
the user or a monitoring service that the safe is unlocked.
A microswitch inside the lock detects the position of the locking
pin, and this position sensing is provided as an output signal in
the output port.
The output is turned ON when the lock is unlocked, and holds
for 30 seconds until the lock goes to sleep.
If the lock goes to sleep (over 30 seconds in an open condition),
the output sends a two (2) second signal when the lock is
locked.
Requires hard-wiring to an alarm system that has appropriate
capabilities.

Detailed Instructions
The AMSEC 5BE lock is an electronic light-duty safe lock. This lock pro-
vides for quick access to a security container with high reliability and lit-
tle effort. Specifications and operation subject to change.
Operating Information
There are two programmable "codes" in the lock; a "Primary"
code that requires five (5) keystrokes, and a "Backup" code that
requires eight (8) keystrokes.
A "Keystroke" can be one button, or two buttons pushed simulta-
neously.
For instructional purposes, the Buttons are numbered 1 thru 5
starting at the button furthest from the knob.
The "Primary" code is for everyday use. The "Backup" code is
provided so the user can have a means to access the safe in
the event they forget their Primary Code. The Backup Code
should be set to some unique combination, and kept in a secure
location (not inside the safe).
The "Factory" Primary code is 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5.
The Backup Code is not kept at the factory. Every 5BE lock
comes with the same Backup Code.
The Factory Backup Code is 1 – 5 – 2 – 4 – 3 – 1/5 – 2/4 – 3,
where the X/X numbers are Keystrokes that are pressed simul-
taneously. The consumer should change this code to provide
optimum security.
The 5BE lock can be programmed (see Programming section).
•
The lock can be programmed for Silent Mode, where the
beeper will not sound during normal operation.
•
The optional LED Lighting Lamps can be turned on or off.
•
The optional Duress Alarm feature can be turned on or off.
