I have a Detroit electronic digital safe and I have lost the code and keys

I posted this last night for another safe. You can open it faster with a rare earth puck magnet than you can inputting the code. The word 'Safe' is a misnomer. Posted on May 31, 2023

How to default SRD Samsung password dvr

  1. Power off the DVR: Make sure the DVR is powered off by disconnecting it from the power source.
  2. Locate the reset button: On the back or bottom of the DVR, you should find a small reset button. It is often recessed and may require a pointed object like a paperclip or pin to press.
  3. Press and hold the reset button: Using a suitable tool, press and hold the reset button for about 15 to 30 seconds. This will reset the DVR to its default settings, including the password.
  4. Power on the DVR: After releasing the reset button, reconnect the DVR to the power source and power it on. The DVR will go through a startup process.
  5. Access the DVR: Once the DVR has finished booting up, you should be able to access it using the default login credentials.
    • Username: The default username is usually "admin" or "admin1234". If these do not work, consult the DVR's user manual or documentation for the correct default username.
    • Password: The default password is typically either blank (no password) or set to "4321". If none of these options work, refer to the DVR's documentation or contact Samsung's technical support for assistance.

Can the PnP brand 30w motion sensor led floodlight be set to come on permanently

The specific capabilities and settings of the PnP brand 30W motion sensor LED floodlight may vary depending on the model and design. However, in general, motion sensor LED floodlights are typically designed to operate based on detected motion and have a preset duration for illumination after motion is detected. If you would like the PnP 30W motion sensor LED floodlight to remain on permanently, overriding the motion sensor function, you can try the following steps: 1. Locate the settings: Check if the floodlight has any accessible settings or switches that allow you to adjust its operation. This could be located on the fixture itself or on a separate control module if provided. 2. Disable or bypass the motion sensor: Look for an option to disable or bypass the motion sensor function. This might involve flipping a switch, pressing a button sequence, or adjusting a specific setting. Consult the product manual or contact the manufacturer's customer support for guidance on how to accomplish this for your specific model. 3. Connect the floodlight to a separate power source: If disabling the motion sensor function is not possible or practical, you can consider connecting the floodlight to a separate power source that provides constant power. This could involve bypassing the original wiring or using a separate switch or power outlet that remains on continuously. It's important to note that overriding the motion sensor function may affect the energy efficiency and intended purpose of the floodlight. Motion sensor lights are typically designed to conserve energy by only activating when motion is detected, providing illumination when needed. Keeping the light on permanently may result in increased energy consumption and reduced bulb lifespan. Always refer to the product manual or consult the manufacturer's instructions for the specific model of the PnP 30W motion sensor LED floodlight to ensure you understand its features and limitations.

My Elsafe battery died (S30-705) and I can't open it! I wasn't given any type of key or anything!!!

You need someone to connect an Elsafe Servicing Unit to supply external battery power via the connection cable to power up the device so that you can unlock the safe. The servicing unit attaches to a 9 volt battery to rescue failed safes due to battery problem. Once the safe is open, you can replace the safe's dead batteries. Option 2: Get someone to drill the safe open.

Sentry Safe 1610. I can't open safe 1610. No documents with it.

Question edited for clarity. Although this guy makes it look hard work, they will usually bounce open quicker that this. You can also bang the top with a rubber mallet, or use a rare earth puck magnet to pull the actuator bolt.

Pilot SAE-1610 Electronic Safe won't open. Why?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Heating and Cooling. You can open it with the backup key and replace the depleted batteries. Then reset a new combination. All this type of safe can be opened with a large rare earth magnet faster than using the combination!

Sorry for your loss. Electronic safes are very easy to open, there is the slap method, the bump method, the rubber mallet method and the rare earth puck magnet method. Or a local Locksmith can do it. The article and videos show all the ways

Sentry Supreme 5330 safe will not open

If your Sentry Supreme 5330 safe is not opening, there could be a few possible reasons why:
  1. Combination Error: If you are using a combination to open the safe, make sure that you are entering the correct combination. If you have forgotten the combination, you will need to contact Sentry Safe customer service to get assistance on how to recover or reset your combination.
  2. Dead Batteries: If you have an electronic lock on your safe, the batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries and try again.
  3. Jammed Bolts: The locking bolts may be jammed due to incorrect operation or a mechanical problem. Try tapping the safe door gently with a rubber mallet to loosen the bolts and then try to open it.
  4. Mechanical Malfunction: If the safe still does not open, there may be a mechanical malfunction. In this case, you will need to contact a professional safe technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
Note: If you have lost your key, you will need to contact Sentry Safe customer service to order a replacement key.

Question edited for clarity. Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.Question moved from Washing Machines Category.Is it hard wired or battery powered? Replace batteries. Remove the cover and vacuum it with the circular vacuum brush.If it is older than 10 years it needs replacing. If it is a Kidde, there is a hard wired electronic timer in it that beeps at 10 years and doesn't stop. It is written in tiny writing on the back. I found that out the hard way. :>)There is also the possibility that there is a constant Co2 source from something, heater, furnace, stove etc.https://www.google.com/search?q=why+does+my+co2+alarm+keep+beepingAlso, Carbon Monoxide is CO, not Co2 (Carbon DiOxide).
