A FlashLock fob is a simple push button device which can grant access to a FlashLock or a door via a Flex System FlashReader. The fob may be programmed with instructions to open a FlashLock or door during a set schedule.
| Fobs communicate with a FlashLock via an infrared(IR) signal. Their IR
transmitter/receiver is located on the button end of the key fob. To open a FlashLock,
point the key fob to the FlashLock's light detection window. Hold
it in a direct line 1/2” to 6” away. Press the key fob button. It will light up. When the
FlashLock sees the signal it will flicker its red LED briefly. When access is granted it
flashes the green LED. Open the lock within 15 green flashes. After that time, the
FlashLock flashes its red LED to indicate the access time has expired and it may no
longer be opened. If the fob has access permissions to the FlashLock, the FlashLock will behave as described above. If the fob has no permissions or is denied by the lock, it will flash 10 times. |

Fobs operate much the same way with a Flex System FlashReader. The reader will beep and flash to indicate the response to the fob's request to open the door.
The FlashLock fob operates with a CR2032 button cell lithium battery with a capacity of 225mAh. When the fob is idle, battery draw is very low. Each button press of the key fob causes it to seek a FlashLock for up to 4 seconds. This draws 20ma for up to 4 seconds. If the button is pressed on the fob 25 times per day, its battery would be expected to last about 6 months. Pressing the fob button no more than 5 times per day will normally yield about a year of life.
Follow these instructions to change the battery on a fob.
