KLITRON does not have an ON/OFF switch. It is powered ON by the moment you connect the batteries and uses its advanced power management system to enter a low power standby mode whenever appropriate thus maximizing battery life.
The Klitron smart eLock is a Bluetooth device and as such it cannot be operated from a remote location. The range for a proper Bluetooth connection with the device is several meters.
Green blinking means that the device is unlocked. Red blinking means that the device is locked. Blue blinking means that the lock is connected to a Bluetooth device (smartphone or r/c ).
Only from the inside by pressing the User Button.
Yes, it certainly does! The Klitron device senses the closing of the door and locks automatically each time the doors closes. (You can override this setting by changing the Auto Lock feature to Off at the lock settings menu. In this case the device will lock only if it receives the proper lock command by an authorized user).
Yes of course, provided that the person is already an authorized user and that there is no active connection with the Klitron lock at the time.
The Klitron smart eLock is powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries. (Make sure that you always use new and good quality batteries)
The power level of the batteries is continuously being monitored by the device. When the power level drops down to 10%, the Klitron smart eLock will issue a Low Power Warning message to each authorized user upon connecting with the smartphone. Potentially all authorized users who will receive the door access notification message, will also receive the Low Power Warning as well. Moreover, a visible signal on the lock body has also been implemented: The red and green leds will flash twice each time.
Yes ! We recommend though that the batteries must have a min capacity of 2,500 mAh.
The Klitron smart eLock will unlock automatically and remain in the unlocked state before power outage occurs.
No! All data and settings remain intact.
Yes! Each time the Klitron eLock is being operated a notification email is being sent to all authorized users. Actually, the notification system is fully customizable (i.e. who is notified ?) by the lock’s administrator.
Oh Yes! By checking the Klitron’s history log you can check in detail all access control data and more. In fact, you can see precisely who locked or unlocked the device and when (time stamp), the room’s temperature and the Klitron’s power level at that instance . Moreover, since all that data gets quite big in time, a proper tool has been implemented for you in the history menu in order to download it in excel format and do further processing (i.e. filtering, making reports, etc.)
In order to change your account password you must follow the Reset Password procedure which is invoked by pressing Forgot Password when logging in and after typing your username.
No, at the moment you cannot change your username. This feature will be added in the near future.
No.

It is the digital version of a physical key which is used in order to authorize a user to access the Klitron eLock.
There are 3 types of eKeys: The Admin eKey, the Standard eKey and the Guest eKey.
The Guest eKey is able to lock or unlock the Klitron eLock, but does not allow access to the lock’s settings, its historical data, its list of users and its list of notification recipients. It has special access properties, which are specified by a custom access program. Each Klitron eLock may support an unlimited number of Guest eKeys.
The Standard eKey is able to lock or unlock the Klitron eLock, and also allows access to the lock’s settings, its historical data, its list of users and its list of notification recipients. Each Klitron eLock may support an unlimited number of Standard eKeys.
The Admin eKey besides being a fully operational eKey, it is also equipped with the property to perform all the administration tasks as follows:
• User management (Add, Delete, Edit properties etc.).
• Customize the notification system.
• Program and manage Key Fobs.
Each lock may have one and only one Admin eKey.
Yes of course! When such an action takes place the old Admin eKey will be automatically changed to Standard.
The eKey type can be changed only by the administrator at any time.
Only the administrator of the Klitron eLock can authorize (add) new users.
As many as you want. There is no limit for that.
- Do I need to enroll the included Klitron Key-Fob with the Klitron Smart eLock?
- How do I enroll a Klitron Key-Fob to a Klitron eLock?
- Can Klitron be used with a combination of mobile devices and Klitron Key-Fobs?
- How will I know when to change the battery in the Klitron Key-Fob?
- How do I disable a lost or stolen Klitron Key-Fob from working with my Klitron Smart eLock?
- Will one Klitron Key-Fob work with multiple locks?
Yes!
You simply select the menu entry Add New Fob. The procedure will not only set up the key fob as a new user, but it will also ask you to assign a friendly name to it. This way each fob will behave as a separate user carrying its own assigned name.
Of course!
The power level of the key-fob’s battery is monitored each time the key-fob is used and it is recorded in each event. Therefore by looking at the Klitron eLock’s history you can check the fob’s battery level. Moreover when the battery needs to be replaced the fob’s led will turn from green to red.
The Administrator of the eLock can disable a stolen or lost key-fob the same way as deleting a user. Remember that the eLock recognizes a fob as a separate user.
No! Each key-fob works only with one Klitron eLock.
