5.2.1. Free Locker Mode (with or without Limited Duration of Use)
Any unoccupied locker that is operating in free locker mode can be selected by
guests for use and locked using their assigned data carrier. Once the locker is
locked, no further lockers in the same locker group can be locked by the user.
Only once the original locker has been unlocked can the guest use another locker
in the locker group.
Locker groups are used to organize the lockers within a facility into functional
blocks. For example, changing room lockers, safe-deposit boxes, etc. Sector
numbers stored on the data carrier are used to distinguish between the different
locker groups. Therefore, depending on the type of data carrier, this organization
allows one data carrier to use two or more lockers from different groups.
For systems where data carriers programmed with an expiry date are in use, the
expiry date is checked by the GAT Lock 6010 F. If the date has passed, the locker
cannot be locked or unlocked.
The GAT Lock 6010 F does not automatically adjust to daylight saving time.
Free locker mode also offers the possibility to define a duration of use for each
data carrier. If the lock is configured for this function, the current time is written
onto the data carrier and the time subsequently checked when the user attempts
to open the locker again.
The data carrier must be coded accordingly for the duration of use function. In
addition, the duration of use function must be configured for the GAT Lock 6010
F in GAT Config Manager. There are two operating modes:
"Absolute duration of use" Mode
In "Duration" mode, a period for use is defined. After locking a locker, the user
must unlock the locker again within the defined period. The period begins from
when the locker was first locked.
Example - "Duration" mode
The time is set to 360 minutes. If the locker is locked at 17:00 it can be unlocked
until 23:00. If the locker is locked at 21:00 it can be unlocked until 3:00 the next
day. The duration of use time is reset after the locker remains open for 60
minutes.
