Commissioning and pairing
Basic Settings
Entering Geofence area
The Geofence area is a like fence drawn around the SmartAccess Module. When entering KeylessGo/AutoUnlock get’s armed. The SmartAccess App starts scanning for a SmartAccess Module.
If KeylessGo or AutoUnlock is not activated within 15 min after entering the Geofence area you need to leave the Geofence and reenter to enable the Keyless Entry features again.
Nevertheless opening the door manually via the SmartAccess App still works.
Note: The geofence area may vary slightly depending on reception, surroundings, and device and may not always be detected precisely. As a result, there may occasionally be slight delays in push notifications.
Approaching door
entering Bluetooth area
The Bluetooth area is the area in which the SmartAccess Module can communicate with the smartphone via Bluetooth. When entering this area the SmartAccess App establishes a connection to the SmartAccess Module or door. Inside this area the door can be opened via the SmartAccess App.
If KeylessGo is not used within 1 min after activation you need to leave the Geofence area and reenter to enable this Keyless Entry features again. The automatic deactivation of KeylessGo after 1 minute is a security feature that prevents potential unintentional door opening.
Nevertheless opening the door manually via the SmartAccess App still works.
Note: The transmission power and reception characteristics of the SmartAccess Module depend heavily on constructional and environmental conditions. Thus, the range in the open field differs from that in buildings. Also, the signal is transmitted differently at high humidity than at lower humidity.
Grabbing the door handle or touching the sensor
KeylessGo: The SmartAccess Module checks access permissions and unlocks the lock. The door can then be pushed open.
AutoUnlock: The SmartAccess Module checks access permissions and unlocks the lock as soon as the key is within Bluetooth range. The door can then be pushed open.
After opening the door
The latch gets extracted immediately after opening the door.
Closing the door
After closing the door get’s fully locked again.
Note: After closing the door, a 15-second safety timeout is activated, which prevents the door from being opened again during this time.
Functionality depends on lock type (All motorised FUHR locks supports this feature).
If AutoUnlock is enabled, the door is opened as soon as the key is within the Bluetooth range of the SmartAccess Module. Make sure that you actually enter the door after entering the Bluetooth range of the SmartAccess Module, otherwise the door will remain open! If you do not have a SmartTouch handle or a SmartTouch sensor, AutoUnlock can be used to enable similar door behavior to KeylessGo.
Note: After closing the door, a 15-second safety timeout is activated, which prevents the door from being opened again during this time.
This is a safety measure to prevent the door from being opened accidentally multiple times. For example, if several users enter the Bluetooth range of the lock at the same time with the keyless entry function (KeylessGo/AutoUnlock) activated, or if one user opens the door manually and another user with a keyless entry function activated enters with them.
SmartAccess offers the option of activating various door modes.
When the Day Latch Mode is engaged, only the latch secures the door. This spares the electric motor lock while still ensuring controlled access.
Ideally suited to heavily frequented doors such as commercial or apartment buildings.
Note: Supported by FUHR multitronic locks.
When the Permanent Open Mode is activated, the latch and all bolts are permanently retracted. Unrestricted access in both directions is possible. The door can be pushed open without access control.
Ideally suited for shops, surgeries or other buildings frequently visited by the public. In a residential setting this function is convenient if, for example, the user is working in the garden and keeps going in and out.
Note: Supported by FUHR autotronic locks and FUHR multitronic locks.
When the Party Mode is activated, only the latch secures the door (same as Day Latch Mode). By touching the SmartTouch handle or the SmartTouch sensor, the latch is retracted and the door can be pushed open without access control.
Ideally suited for a party where the door needs to be locked but guests can go in and out undisturbed.
Note: Supported by FUHR autotronic locks, FUHR multitronic locks and generic locks.
Note: The activation of door modes is only possible if the lock used supports the respective door modes, the administrator has enabled the use of door modes in the Lock Settings area and has granted you the permission to activate door modes. For further information on how to enable door modes, see chapter Lock Settings. For further information on granting permissions, see chapter Profiles and Manage Keys.
Note: If you delete the button assignment for a SmartAccess Module that is currently not connected, the corresponding SmartAccess Module can no longer be operated with the button.
If required, the SmartKey has to be set up again via the corresponding SmartAccess Module.
Note: If you delete the button assignment for the currently connected SmartAccess Module, the SmartKey is automatically removed.
To use the SmartKey again with the currently connected SmartAccess Module, you have to add the SmartKey again via Manage Keys -> Add Key. Further information on how to add keys, see chapter Manage Keys.
If SmartKey batteries are low, this will reduce the radio range. The SmartKey measures the amount of charge remaining in the battery by pressing its transmit button. If the battery is too low, the LED of the SmartKey flashes 3 times when its transmit button is pressed. If this happens, please replace the battery promptly. All stored data remain saved when changing the battery.
Note: Please change the batteries in time, if the batteries are completely empty you cannot open the door with the SmartKey anymore.
The SmartKey is operated by a battery type CR2032. Immediately it is ready for use just after changing the battery.
Please proceed as follows when changing the batteries:
1. Insert a narrow object (such as a flat-head screwdriver) into the slot at the back of the SmartKey and gently lever the cover up.
2. Replace the battery, making sure the polarity is correct (the positive pole must be visible).
3. Close the case.
1.
2.
The range of the radio signal within which a SmartKey can communicate with the SmartAccess Module varies significantly with environmental conditions. If the SmartKey is significantly further away than 1 meter from the door, communication is generally not possible. Electrically conductive objects can increase this distance, for example. For successful communication with the SmartAccess Module, the SmartKey must be in motion in all cases.
SmartKeys comply with the requirements and regulations of Directive 2014/53/EU (RED).
If your SmartAccess Module stops responding or does not function correctly, you can restart it using the LED button to rectify the malfunction.
Note: All settings and keys are retained during a restart. No data is lost.
If restarting does not resolve the malfunction of the SmartAccess Module, you can reset the SmartAccess Module to the factory settings to eliminate possible malfunctions.
Note: If you perform a reset, the SmartAccess Module is set to the factory settings. All settings and keys will be lost.
In the following cases, it may be necessary to reset the SmartAccess Module to its factory settings:
Transfer of Ownership
When transferring the SmartAccess Modul to a new owner, a reset ensures that all previous user data, settings, and keys are completely erased, providing a clean slate for the new owner.
Troubleshooting
As a last resort for resolving persistent connectivity issues, unexpected behavior, or other severe malfunctions that cannot be fixed by simpler troubleshooting steps.
Firmware Issues
In rare cases, a reset might be necessary to recover from a failed or corrupted firmware update that renders the device inoperable.
The firmware (software that is embedded in the SmartAccess Module) of your SmartAccess Module and the SmartAccess App should always be up-to-date to ensure maximum security and best compatibility between the SmartAccess Module and the SmartAccess App.
Note: The SmartAccess Module can only be updated manually via the SmartAccess App if the smartphone is within the Bluetooth range of the SmartAccess Module.
Note: Please keep the door closed during the entire update process, otherwise the SmartAccess Module will not be supplied with power and the update cannot be carried out properly.
Note: The SmartAccess App is usually by default automatically updated via the App Store / Google Play Store.
