Medeco EA-100178 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Medeco XT EA-100178 Slim Line Key Plus actually do, and does it need a battery in the lock?
The XT Slim Line Key Plus is the electronic key that carries the power and the credential. The battery lives in the key, not in the cylinder, so the cylinders it operates need no wiring and no battery maintenance of their own. One charge covers up to 1,800 openings, and the key recharges on a portable charger rather than taking a replacement cell. For a property manager or MRO group, that means door hardware that stays mechanical in the opening while the access decisions ride on the key.
2) Can I change a Medeco XT key's access without pulling the cylinders out of the doors?
No cylinder removal is needed. Programming on the XT key holds the operating and expiration schedules, so adding, revoking, or time limiting access is done to the key itself and the cylinders stay in the doors. That is the practical difference from rekeying a mechanical system, where every affected cylinder has to be touched.
3) Will a Medeco XT system work on the locks already installed on my doors, or do I have to replace the hardware?
XT is built as a retrofit to existing hardware, so the intent is to swap the cylinder rather than change out locksets, exit devices, or doors. The key does the electronics; the opening keeps the hardware it has. Which specific cylinder format you need depends on what is in each door, so match the cylinder to the existing prep.
4) Does the Medeco XT key keep an audit trail of which doors a contractor opened?
Audit is held on the key, up to 14,000 events. Memory allocation is flexible, so you decide how much of it goes to audit versus other data. For a facility handing keys to vendors or after hours contractors, that record is what tells you which openings were touched and when.
5) Can I give a subcontractor a Medeco XT key that stops working on a set date?
Yes. Expiration schedules are held on the key, so a key issued to a subcontractor or temporary employee can be set to stop working at a chosen point without anyone visiting the doors. Combined with the on key audit, that covers the two things a security integrator gets asked for most: time limited access and proof of use.
6) Is the Medeco XT Slim Line key tough enough to live on a maintenance tech's key ring?
The housing is heavy duty stainless steel and the key is sized to ride on a normal key ring, which is the point of the Slim Line form. It is a commercial grade product, not a residential accessory, so it is built for daily carry by staff and trades rather than occasional use.
7) What exact part do I order for the Medeco XT Slim Line Key Plus?
Order it as Medeco EA-100178, the XT Slim Line Key Plus. That is the single model for this key; the cylinders and the charger it works with are ordered separately since the key alone does not include the hardware it operates.
