CL5500 Getting Started

About CL5500

This range of locks can be operated and managed directly via the keypad or via a compatible smartphone by downloading the K3 Connect App. 
This Programming and Operating Instructions provides the basics to get you started plus the full details on how to program and operate the CL5500 range of locks.

The Basics

Master Code
The factory set Master Code is #12345678. This should be changed immediately after installation (Program 01). The Master Code (and Sub-Master Code if set) always start with the # button. This puts the lock in Programming Mode.

Access Methods
The lock supports a maximum of 350 Clients (users): User Codes (100), User Cards (150) and User Compatible Phones (100).

Keypad
The lock has a 12 button, back-lit keypad which includes * and # buttons. The # button is only used for programming. The * button is used in some Programs and with NetCodes.

Code Free
Code Free can be configured via Program 04 or via Key-in-Lever by changing the cylinder tailpiece (refer to Installation Instructions).

Locked/Unlocked Status
By default, when the lock is locked, there is no visual indication. Program 08 can be used to enable locked indication.

Remote Release
The lock has two sets of terminals within the front housing for remote release, labelled REM1 and REM2.  REM1 is intended for push-button release where the lock will open for the normal set time. REM2 is intended for use where the lock needs to be released for a longer period. When a switch or relay connected to REM2 is closed, the lock will open for a period of 30 minutes after which the lock will revert to normal operation. Refer to Installation Instructions for further information.

The App

Manage with the K3 Connect App

The lock can be managed with the K3 Connect App by any Bluetooth compatible smartphone.

The App is available on:
Apple App Store for Apple devices or Google Play™ for Android™ devices by searching for K3 Connect. 

  1. Install the K3 Connect App on your device.
  2. Once installed, open K3 Connect and select Create Account.
  3. The account creation process includes email confirmation. Once the account has been created, sign-in to the App.
  4. To add a new lock, touch the + icon on the Locks screen.
  5. Enter the lock DIN and choose a lock name. 
    For this lock range it is CL5510 – DIN: CL5510  
    Note: The lock DIN is case-sensitive. DIN to be used for all CL5500 variants i.e. CL5510, CL5520, CL5500PK etc.
  6. In the App, touch the tick and then immediately, on the lock, enter the following Program:
    #Master Code • 00 • 1 ••
    Example: #12345678 • 00 • 1 ••
    Note: If you have changed your Master Code, substitute the code used in the example with your own code.
  7. The lock will now pair with your phone.
