Change the code on an AMSEC Electronic lock.

If you recently purchased an AMSEC gun safe with an ESL 10XL electronic lock you NEED to change the combination (code) before you stock the gun safe with your guns and valuables.  Changing the combination is fairly easy follow the instructions completely do not skip any steps.

The input of a new combination is done by keying a “Change Key” code, followed by the Old

Combination to validate a change and then followed by entering the New Combination twice to 

avoid a keying error. To change the combination, do the following: 

1. Press the keys “C” and then “#”. This is the “Change Key” that activates the change routine. The unit responds with a  short warbling tone (called the “good combo tone”) and the red lamp strobes with the tone.
2. Now key in the Old 6 digit combination, the “C” key may be used to clear an error in keying at any time. Finish the input with a “#” key.
• If  the  combination  keyed  matches the existing combination in permanent memory, another short good combo tone is sounded. Proceed to “3.
• If the combination keyed is incorrect, the unit responds with 4 short beeps (called the  bad  combo  tone) and returns to rest. The combination change routine is aborted and the Old combination is retained. This also causes a count  up  for Penalty Lockout. 
3. Now key the first pass with the New 6 digit combination followed by a “#” key. Again, the “C” key may be used to clear an error in keying at any time
• If  the  combination input is 6 digit  in length, another short good combo tone is sounded. Proceed to “4."
• If the combination keyed is not 6 digits long, the unit responds with 4 short beeps (called the bad combo tone) and returns to rest. The combination change routine is aborted and the Old combination is retained
4. Now key the second verify pass with the New 6 digit combination followed by a “#” key. As before, the “C” key may be used to clear an error in keying at any time. 
• If  the  combination input matched the first pass, a long good combo tone is sounded. The New Combination replaces  the Old Combination in permanent memory and the unit returns to a resting condition. Proceed to “5.”
• If the combination keyed does not match the first pass, the unit responds with the bad combo tone and returns to rest. The combination change routine is aborted and the Old combination is retained.
5. Test your New Combination several times prior to closing and locking the safe
