Frequently Asked Questions
No cylinder — what happens if power fails?
Set the DIP switch to FS (Fail-Safe) so the lever unlocks on power loss, or FSE (Fail-Secure) so it remains locked. There is no mechanical key override.
When would I choose BE over standard M996L?
Choose BE for cleaner aesthetics or where the access control system is the only intended unlock method. BE is common in modern card-access and cloud-managed installations.
