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

How to Program a GunVault Safe

This is a tutorial on how to change the combination on a GunVault handgun safe. These instructions work for any GunVault product including the popular MicroVault. Be sure to check us out at on Facebook and Twitter or visit our website TheSafePlace.com

Choosing your Own Access Code

• Don’t tell anyone your code.
• An access code is a series of entries on the keypad. WARNING: This is not a numeric keypad, you cannot program digits (there is no 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10).
• An “entry” is a single press of one or more buttons at the same time.
• You can use a minimum of three entries, or a maximum of six entries, for your access code.
• For each entry of the access code, you may choose one, more than one or ALL of the buttons on the keypad in combination.
• Be careful in choosing your access code. You’ll want to be sure that you can operate the unit quickly without making an entry error.
• Example of a valid access code; Press button one, press button two, press all four buttons together.
• Choose an access code which is easy to use, but try to make it an access code which is difficult to guess.
• Your current address or phone number digits are not good choices, because the keypad only has four buttons.

Notes:

• Avoid programming in bright light; it might prevent you from seeing the red/green LED.
• Look directly down upon the keypad.
• Do not attempt to press the buttons with the safe resting upon a soft surface, such as a bed, a pillow, or a deep pile carpet.

Programming Your Access Code

Note: There is a soft “beep” sound and a brief light with each keypad entry. Enter the factory-default
code, from left to right: one, two, three, four. The door will open. Leave the door open.

Find the Learn Button

1. Press and hold the Learn Button for two seconds. (see below picture) You should see the green light and hear the beep – release the Learn button – the unit is now in “learn” mode.
2. Enter your new code. The light will remain green.
3. Press and hold the Lean button again for two seconds. The light will turn red, and you will hear a beep. Release the Learn Button.
4. While the light is red, enter your new code a second time to confirm it.
5. Press and hold the Learn Button a third time for two seconds. Release the Learn button. The light will blink green five times. And you will hear five beeps, confirming that the new code has been accepted. If the red light blinks 5 times with 5 beeps at this point, and error has occurred. Just start over by depressing the Learn Button for two seconds.
