Saflok Quantum IV Battery Pack Replacement

Introduction

The guide covers how to gain access to and replace the battery pack within a SAFLOK Quantum door lock series as well as discussing the steps needed to be taken to avoid further malfunctions. It is compulsory to inspect the battery pack every six months for wear and condition.

To prevent lock outs, it is recommended to replace the battery pack after a full years use.

This guide specifically covers the SAFLOK Quantum IV model.

What you need

Step 1 Battery Pack

Use a properly programmed key-card or fob to attempt to access the door by directly holding it against the RF-ID reader located above the door handle.
If red, the lock is operating correctly, however the key-card/ fob is not programmed to access the lock.
If yellow, the lock is functioning, however the deadbolt is currently engaged
If the RF-ID does not respond in any way to the key-card / fob, then the battery needs to be replaced. Proceed to step two.

Edit

Step 2

Use a SAFLOK Battery Backup Jumper to power the lock by inserting the USB 2.0 mini-B plug into the port located on the bottom left of the reader.
The RF-ID reader will flash green or click if adequate power is provided by the Backup power supply.
If the RF-ID does not respond to the SAFLOK Battery Backup Jumper, check to insure it is inserted correctly into the RF-ID reader. Check the power supply within the SAFLOK Battery Backup Jumper.
If the RF-ID still does not respond, then the RF-ID may be disconnected from the lock or damaged.
Open the door by using a properly programmed card key or fob to gain access to the room. Use a doorstop to secure the door in an open position. Remove the SAFLOK Battery Backup Jumper to preserve its battery.

Use a T15 Security Torx Screwdriver to remove two screws located at the top and bottom of the face-plate.
Remove the face-plate by slipping it back and away from the SAFLOK mechanism.
Be aware that removing the face-plate may cause the old battery to fall from its cradle, damaging the pins of the circuit board. The battery can be located at the top half of the internal mechanism. It is recommended to use a free hand to hold the battery in place during the removal of the face-plate.

This is the inside of the SAFLOK QUANTUM IV
This is the battery pack resting upon its cradle within the internal mechanism. This battery is the one that will be replaced within this guide.
This plug connects the external RFID reader to the locking mechanism. Make sure not to pull this plug or dislodge it during the removal of the battery or the locking mechanism will not function.

Step 5

Remove the old battery by gently pulling the white batter connector in an upward motion up and away from the pins of the circuit board.
Make sure to hold the battery in place while removing the plug.
The connector pins are delicate. Do not directly touch the pins with hands or tools.

Step 6

Place a new SAFLOK approved Alkaline, 6V DC, 2,900 mAh battery pack into the cradle located at the top of the internal mechanism. Then slip the connector down onto the pins of the circuit board.

Edit

Step 7

If the door clicks during installation of the new battery and responds with a green / green and red light when exposed to a key-card or fob, then the installation was successful.
Slowly replace the face-plate over the SAFLOK mechanism while taking care to ensure the new battery does not fall from its cradle. Re-screw the security screws back into the indentations of the face-plate that you had previously removed.
The Saflok Quantum IV is now ready for use.
