KeylessGo for the door
Optional
SmartAccess allows you the convenient door opening via KeylessGo technology. Therefore it is sufficient to carry your authorised smartphone or an activated SmartKey. For unlocking the door by the motorised lock, simply touch the SmartTouch handle, the SmartTouch door fitting or SmartTouch sensor. The SmartAccess Module usually installed into the door leaf now transmits a Bluetooth-Signal, which is received and answered by the SmartAccess App or an activated SmartKey. The SmartAccess Module checks the opening authorisation of the SmartAccess AppKey or SmartKey and then unlocks the motorised lock.
If the KeylessGo function is not desired, it can be disabled for each individual Key or completely for all. The door can then still be operated via the SmartAccess App or the SmartKey’s transmit button.

The radio transmission takes place on a non-exclusive transmission path. This can lead to interference from other radio applications. Switching operations, electric motors or defective electrical appliances can also cause interference. 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.
SmartAccess complies with the requirements and regulations of Directive 1999/5/EC.
Note: Please make sure that in the case of a data interruption, for example due to a power failure, relevant applications such as door locks can be operated differently (e.g. mechanically with a cylinder key).

The SmartAccess Module installed in the door leaf now establishes a Bluetooth connection to the SmartAccess App or the SmartKey. The SmartAccess Module checks the opening permissions of the key (AppKey/SmartKey) and then unlocks the motorised lock.
Note: In order to be able to open the door conveniently with the SmartTouch handle or SmartTouch sensor, KeylessGo or a corresponding door mode must be activated in the Lock Settings area.
Door Modes
SmartAccess offers the option of activating different door modes (Day Latch Mode, Permanent Open Mode, Party Mode) in certain FUHR motorlocks.
For further information about the individual door modes, see chapter Door Modes.
Duration of Opening Signal
Depending on the lock type installed in your door, this may need to be adjusted. Please only change if you know what you are doing. If in doubt, please contact a qualified technician or your system provider.
The default value is 400ms. Minimum: 100ms, maximum: 10000ms (10sec).
Firmware Update
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. For more information, see chapter Firmware Update.
Note: The SmartAccess App is usually by default automatically updated via the App Store / Google Play Store.
Reset SmartAccess Module
A reset allows you to reset the SmartAccess Module to the delivery state (factory settings).
Note: All settings and saved keys will be lost.
Share access for your SmartAccess Modul or door with family, friends and employees. With the SmartAccess App you can easily invite new users to control the SmartAccess Module and manage their access permissions. An individual key is added and assigned for each user of the SmartAccess Module.
Different types of keys can be added and assigned, such as AppKeys, SmartKeys or FingerprintKeys (coming soon).
Note: To set the user’s access permissions assign the user a profile with the desired permissions or create a new profile. For more information on how to add and edit profiles, see chapter Add and edit Profiles.
Note: The button assignments of SmartKeys can be individually adjusted. For more information about SmartKeys, see chapter SmartKeys.
In the My Key Settings area you have the possibility to adjust the basic settings of your personal key. E.g. change the name, view the location of the SmartAccess Module or door, activate/deactivate supported features like KeylessGo or Auto Unlock and manage notifications.
If Auto Unlock is enabled, the door is opened as soon as the key is within the Bluetooth range of the SmartAccess Module. The door can be pushed open without touching the door handle or sensor.
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, Auto Unlock can be used to enable similar door behavior to KeylessGo.
Note: Enabling Auto Unlock is a potential security risk. The door will be unlocked as soon as the smartphone is within the Bluetooth area.
As an administrator, you have the option to assign different types of access permissions for your SmartAccess Module or door. By creating and assigning individual profiles with different access permissions, you have full control over the access permissions of different users.
For more information on how to assign a profile to a user, see chapter Add and manage Keys.
Note: A maximum of eight individual profiles can be created.
KeylessGo
Activate the toggle switch if you want to assign the use of KeylessGo to the profile.
For further information on how KeylessGo works, see chapter How does KeylessGo works.
Auto Unlock
Activate the toggle switch if you want to assign the use of Auto Unlock to the profile.
Note: If Auto Unlock is enabled, the door is opened as soon as an authorized key is within the Bluetooth range of the SmartAccess Module. The door can be pushed open without touching the door handle or sensor. Make sure that you actually enter the door after entering the Bluetooth range of the SmartAccess Module, otherwise the door will remain open!
Door mode
Activate the toggle switch if you want to assign the use of different door modes (Day Latch Mode, Permanent Open Mode and Party Mode) to the profile.
For further information about the individual door modes, see chapter Door modes.
As an Administrator you can decide whether, when, and for which time frames users can use the SmartAccess Module. You can assign time limited permissions which are only active at certain days or at certain times of the day by setting up access schedulers (e.g. for cleaning staff or employees).
Access schedulers are always linked to a profile. In order to grant a user time restricted permission, the time restricted permission must be set up via the corresponding profile.
For more information on how to assign a profile to a user, see chapter Add and manage Keys.
Note: If you set up a time restricted permission to a profile, this time restricted permission applies to all users to whom this profile has been assigned.
You can create completely individual access schedulers by activating the corresponding switches and adjusting the parameters Date range and/or Weekdays and/or Time of the day according to your wishes.
For example, you can only set the date range or define more precisely on which days of the week and at what times the access scheduler should be active.
Date Range
The date range defines from and to which date a access scheduler should be active.
Weekdays
You can use weekdays to specify the days of the week on which the schedule should be active.
Time of the Day
You can use time of the day to specify certain times of day when the schedule should be active.
All actions performed by the SmartAccess Module are recorded in the Events area. This means you can see which user opened or closed the door at what time.
Note: The entries in the Events area can only be accessed if the smartphone is within the Bluetooth range of the SmartAccess Module.
SmartAccess offers the option of activating different 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.
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.
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: The activation of door modes is only possible if 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 Add and edit Profiles and Add 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 Add and 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 distance in which a SmartKey responds to the radio signal of the SmartAccess Module varies significantly with environmental conditions. If the SmartKey is significantly further away than 1 meter from the door, it usually does not respond. Electrically conductive objects e.g. can increase this distance. The requirement for a SmartKey to respond after touching the SmartTouch handle or SmartTouch sensor is in any case that it is in motion.
Please note that SmartKeys can also be detected from the SmartAccess Module when you are inside the building under the following conditions:
1. The SmartKey is located inside the KeylessGo radio range
(please determine this area individually at your own door) and
2. within the last 3 seconds the SmartKey was in motion.
Note the additional security functions in the next chapter.
For safety reasons, we recommend to lay the SmartKey down when you are inside the building. The motion sensor is then deactivated after 3 seconds and unauthorised opening of the door is no longer possible.
For safety reasons, all SmartKeys are fitted with a motion sensor. If a SmartKey is not moved for 3 seconds, it automatically switches off by itself. If the SmartKey is within the detection radius of the SmartAccess Modul, the deactivation prevents unauthorized door opening via KeylessGo. Furthermore the deactivation mode saves battery power. You can activate the sensor again by moving the SmartKey and open the door, as usual, via KeylessGo function.
Entering Geofence area
The Geofence area is a like fence drawn around the SmartAccess Module. When entering KeylessGo get’s armed. The SmartAccess App starts scanning for a SmartAccess Module.
If KeylessGo is not activated within 15 min after entering the Geofence area you need to leave the Geofence and reenter to enable KeylessGo again.
Nevertheless opening the door manually via the SmartAccess App still works.
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 KeylessGo again.
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
The door unlocks and can now be pushed open.
With Auto unlock enabled the door can be pushed open without grabbing the door handle or touching the sensor.
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
Functionality depends on lock type
(All motorised FUHR locks support this feature).
Note: If you perform a reset, the SmartAccess Module is set to the factory settings. All settings and keys will be lost!
