We have provided an easy to follow list of workarounds for common issues you may encounter.
Possible Cause: Faulty power cable, flat back up battery
Workaround: Ensure that the power supply is correctly connected to the unit and that the adaptor plug is also correctly connected. If operating on the optional back up battery, the battery may have lost its charge. Ensure that a charged battery is inserted into the unit and the power cables are connected correctly.
Possible Cause: Failure of door release mechanism or spring
Workaround: Ensure that the unit is powered up correctly, as the door will not open via pin access when the unit is powered down. Using the master key, attempt to open the unit via the door mechanism override on the base of the unit. If door continues to fail to open, and there are no clear blockages, then there may be a failure with the spring or solenoid, thus requiring the unit to be returned.
Possible Cause: Door striker out of position
Workaround: Using a hex key, loosen the bolts within the plastic housing and adjust the position of the striker to the correct position to avoid catching the main body of the cabinet. *Use a visual test before fully closing the door, as adjusting the striker too much may result in the unit continuing to fail to open.
Possible Cause: Broken screen, unit failed to power up
Workaround: Attempt to enter your pin where the pin number keys on the screen would be. If the unit is producing the key sounds, then the screen may be damaged, requiring the unit to be returned. If there is no sound, ensure that the power supply (mains or back-up) is correctly connected to the unit and that the adaptor plug is also correctly connected.
Possible Cause: Software glitch
Workaround: Power down the unit and attempt to power back up. Glitches may reset upon system power up. Ensure that the unit is running on the most recent version of the software, which can be downloaded here. If glitch persists, then the unit must be returned.
Possible Cause: Faulty RFID tag within the fob or failure of the circuit board
Workaround: Place the iFob in question into another blank slot in the unit. If the fob isn’t recognized, then it may be a fault with the RFID chip within the fob, however, if it is recognized, then it could be fault on the circuit board. Attempt to place a working iFob within the slot in question to determine the final cause. If the iFob is not recognized, the unit will need to be returned.
Possible Cause: Override mechanism left in open position, key bunches blocking door, failure of locking mechanism
Workaround: Ensure that the door override mechanism is in the closed position, and that none of the key bunches within the unit or any exterior item is blocking the door from closing fully.
Possible Cause: USB drives not recognized by system
Workaround: Several options available
Scenario: When attempting to delete one of the admin users, an error message appears stating that all other non-admin users need to be deleted first.
Workaround: If any of the admin user accounts are edited through the user interface, e.g. contact number is added, rather than the Export & Import feature, then the active date is then populated, allowing for the admin users to be removed.
Scenario: Your unit displays a message saying that your Traka21 is offline. Only administrators can get keys.
Workaround: If the battery on the device is critical, then it will not allow non-admin users to login. Ensure that your unit is connected to a mains power supply to recharge the back up battery and allow non-admin users to access the cabinet.
Possible Cause: Non Traka21 iFob placed into unit and cannot be removed.
Workaround: The swap key positions feature is very beneficial if you wish to reorganise the keys in the system. You can also use this feature to remove a non Traka21 iFob from the cabinet if it has been placed there in error.
