Dormakaba E5270-626-41 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the E-Plex 5270 access controller need software, or can I program it at the keypad?
The 5270 is not keypad-programmable. Readers are programmed through E-Plex Enterprise Software, which is required and not included in the box. That software is what gets you the full 3,000 access codes and the 30,000-event audit trail. If you want a unit you can set up entirely at the keypad without buying software, the E-Plex 5070 is the model that programs by keypad, with optional Excel-based software to go from 100 to 300 access codes.
2) Will a 5270 hold up on an exterior gate in a cold climate?
The environmental operating range runs from -31 F (-35 C) to 151 F (66 C), so it is built for outdoor mounting in both hard winters and desert heat. The housing is solid cast, and tamper-switch circuitry in the reader housing kills access if the unit is attacked or pulled off its mounting plate: the reader flashes constant bright blue and all internal wiring other than power goes passive until it is reinstalled or remotely reset.
3) What should I use instead of the E-Plex 5270 if I need access control built into the lock itself on a standard door?
The 5270 is a wall-mounted reader that controls a separate locking device, so it is the wrong choice when you simply want to swap out a cylindrical lockset on a normal swing door. For that, the BEST 9KM IDH MAX cylindrical lock puts an HID proximity reader and the access control electronics into the lock body itself, and it is a heavy duty unit. Pick the 5270 when the opening is glass, a gate, or a dual-swing door that cannot take a lock body.
4) What is the difference between the Dormakaba E-Plex 5270 access controller and the BEST 9KM IDH MAX proximity lock?
They solve the opening two different ways. The E-Plex 5270 is a stand-alone PIN reader unit with a keypad that mounts to a single gang box or wall and drives the opening through a separate Power Interface Unit, so it suits dual-swing doors, parking gates and glass doors where no lock body can be bored. The BEST 9KM IDH MAX is a cylindrical lock with an HID proximity reader and access control built into the lock itself, so the credential is a prox card rather than a PIN and the hardware goes into a standard cylindrical door prep. Choose the 5270 when the door or gate cannot take a cylindrical lock, and the 9KM when you are replacing a lock in a prepped wood or metal door.
5) Can I set the E-Plex 5270 to unlock during business hours and lock down on holidays?
Yes. Up to 16 different access schedules can be programmed into the reader, plus up to 32 holiday or vacation blocks. Operation modes are PIN access, passage, and lockout. Passage can be toggled on and off manually or pre-programmed to re-lock automatically after a set number of hours, which is how most offices handle an open lobby that has to secure itself at night.
6) What can I adjust on the 5270 for a property with contractors and temporary users?
Five authority levels control who can reach which lock functions, and service codes can be issued for one-time access or come-and-go access lasting 1 to 24 hours, which covers a cleaning crew or a trade on site for a day. Code length is adjustable from 4 to 8 digits, anti-tamper lockout triggers between 3 and 9 invalid attempts with a 0 to 90 second lockout period, and re-lock time is adjustable from 2 to 20 seconds.
7) What finishes does the E-Plex 5270 come in, and which ones will match existing hardware?
Five finishes are orderable: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 744 dark bronze with brass accents. Satin chrome 626 and black 676 housings with satin chrome levers and accents are the standard offering, so 626 is the safest match for typical commercial openings. The 744 dark bronze simulates 10B/613 and pairs with satin brass 606 pushbuttons.
8) Is the E-Plex 5270 rated for high traffic commercial use?
It carries a Grade 1 rating and is specified for commercial rather than residential use, which is the level institutional and multi-family buyers normally write into a spec for main entries and heavy traffic openings.
9) Which one integrates with an existing fire alarm or security system?
The E-Plex 5270 ships with dry contacts - contact closure and alarm shunt - to interface with new or existing fire alarm and security systems, and its Power Interface Unit enclosure is pre-drilled with knockouts for that low voltage wiring. The BEST 9KM IDH MAX is a self-contained cylindrical lock with the access control integrated into the lock, so it is the choice when you want the decision made at the door rather than tied into panel wiring.
10) I want card credentials instead of a keypad PIN - what should I use instead of the E-Plex 5270?
The E-Plex 5270 is a PIN-based reader; within the same E-Plex 5x70 family the 5770 reads PROX credentials and the 5670 reads DESFire, MIFARE and iCLASS cards, and both hold 3,000 access users. If you would rather have the credential reader inside the lock body than in a wall-mounted reader housing, the BEST 9KM IDH MAX is a cylindrical lock with an HID proximity reader and access control integrated into the lock.
11) Is there a simpler E-Plex option if I do not want to buy management software?
Yes. The E-Plex 5270 requires E-Plex Enterprise Software to program the reader and to use its 3,000 access codes and 30,000-event audit trail. The E-Plex 5070 in the same 5x70 family programs directly at the keypad and holds 100 access codes, expanding to 300 codes and 9,000 audit events only if you add the optional Excel-based software. The trade-off is scheduling: the 16 access schedules and 32 holiday and vacation blocks are on the 5270, 5670 and 5770, not the 5070.
12) Would the BEST 9KM work as a direct swap for an E-Plex 5270 on a high-traffic opening?
Not as a direct swap. Both are commercial-duty electronic access products - the E-Plex 5270 is a Grade 1 electronic lock product and the BEST 9KM IDH MAX is rated heavy duty - but the mounting is not interchangeable. The 5270 reader housing is pre-drilled for a single gang box or wall mounting and works through a separate Power Interface Unit wired to an off-the-shelf power supply, while the 9KM is a cylindrical lock that goes into the door itself. Swapping one for the other means new door prep or new wall prep, not a retrofit.
13) Can an E-Plex 5270 installation be moved to wireless later?
Yes. The 5270 is upgradeable to wireless, so a site can start stand-alone with software programming at the door and move to networked management later without replacing the readers. The 5670 and 5770 card models share that upgrade path; the keypad-programmed 5070 does not.
