Technical Information

CLIQ Key Material: The mechanical key shaft is part of a solid metal frame. The key electronics is located under plastic covers.

Active / Passive Key: Active (mechanically passive)

Symmetrical / Asymmetrical Key: Symmetrical

Disc Quantity: 9

Theoretical Coding Combinations: 4.3 billion
electronic codes per keying system. 280,000 mechanical codes per key profile.

CLIQ Key Indications: The key electronics contains a small buzzer that provides the key holder with an audible access indication.

1 short beep
The key is granted access

3 short beeps
The key is denied access

3 long beeps
The battery may be low or cold (try warming the key in your hand)

No beep
The battery is empty

CLIQ Key stampings: The key identification stampings are made on the side edges of the metal frame. One of side edges is stamped with a globally unique number.

CLIQ key battery
The battery powers the electronics in the key as well as in the cylinder.

The battery is located in the key bow under a plastic cover. The cover is fixedon the key bow using two Torx T6 screws.

Battery specifications:
Size ø 20 x 3.2 mm.
3 V lithium (type CR 2032).
Lifetime is about two years or 20,000 key operations.

The battery must be changed when the key starts to indicates a low battery warning. It is possible to make around 50 key operations before the battery is empty once the low battery warnings are given.

Speed of the electronic function
CLIQ cylinders can be operated 0.4 seconds after key insertion. An audible indication is given to the key holder when the key can be turned.

Environmental restrictions for use
Use temperature: key -10°C …+50°C
Use temperature: cylinder -30°C …+70°C

Dust and water protection
Cylinder: IP classification IP 51 (= limited amount of dust can enter the cylinder, and it is protected against water drops coming directly vertically).

Key: IP classification IP 57 (= limited amount of dust can enter the key, and it is protected against water).

Padlock (SWP): IP classification IP 68 (= dust tight and hermetically sealed).

Memory structure of cylinders and keys
Cylinder:
200 authorised individual keys, key groups* and/or programming keys (C-keys) can be stored in  the cylinder memory at a time. *Maximum 65.535 keys in each group.
3,000 individual keys can be stored in a black list. Black listing of individual keys is only needed if the black listed key belongs to a key group that is programmed in the cylinder.
1,000 audit trails.
10 audit trails from CLIQ keys belonging to another keying system.

Key NQ406:
100 audit trails.
10 audit trails from CLIQ cylinders belonging to another keying system.

Key NQ407:
1,800 audit trails.
20 audit trails from CLIQ cylinders belonging to another keying system.
1.000 authorised cylinders.

Key NQ403:
385 CLIQ cylinder programming tasks can be stored on the key.
1,000 audit trails can be read at the time.

Time functions
CLIQ keys have a clock and calendar feature.
A CLIQ key can be programmed to be; always active, active between certain dates or inactive.

It is also possible to set a weekly operation schedule to the key. The calendar allows the administrator to specify up to 50 time periods where the key is granted access throughout the week. Cylinder specific time periods can be programmed in the key. The key can for instance be programmed to open all cylinders Mon - Fri 8AM - 5PM except for one (or more) cylinder(s) which can only be opened on Saturdays.

The clock has an accuracy of minimum +/- 1 minute per month.

Wall PD
Wall PD is a remote programming device that can program CLIQ keys over an internet or LAN connection. Wall PDs are typically mounted onto a wall where the key holders easily can update their keys.

Specifications:
RJ45 connection to Ethernet, can be powered over Ethernet (PoE) Aux power connector
Power supply: 7-24V AC or DC 2W (Abloy EA700 or EA701)
Power supply PoE: 42-57 V DC referral to standard IEEE 802.3af (Abloy NQ425)
Note: connect the PoE unit in series with the Wall PD Ethernet cable. One power unit can power up one Wall PD and it can be located up to 130 meters from the Wall PD.

CLIQ Reader
CLIQ reader is a device used when controlling electrical devices like electrical lock cases, elevators etc. The operation is similar to a CLIQ cylinder except that the key is not turned. The CLIQ reader contains of two parts, an escutcheon which is the visible part and the electronics which is placed in a secure location. The parts are connected with an electrical wire.

CLIQ Readers can also be used as an extension to a Wall PD. The CLIQ Reader can then be located outdoors while the Wall PD is located on the inside of the wall. This solution makes it possible to update CLIQ keys via a Wall PD from an outdoor location.

Specifications:
Power input 12-24 VDC -10 / +15%
Power consumption 60mA
Relay load max. 0.8A 30V AC/DC resist 20W
Maximum length of the wire between the escutcheon and the electronics is 1 meter. The wire should be cut to the proper length. The wire cannot be extended.

Electronic security of CLIQ keys and cylinders
The communication between the cylinder and key is encrypted using a 112 bits 3DES encryption. The coding of the keys and cylinders has been designed so that even in case of a theoretical break of encryption, the security risk is limited to the single component and one time only. The data stored in the keys and cylinders are also encrypted.

All data transferred from the factory to the End User's database and further on via a programming device and a programming key (C-key) to a CLIQ cylinder or key is encrypted as well.

ATEX

CLIQ products are tested against the ATEX directive.
The entire keying system has to be ATEX approved. Old keying systems cannot to be converted to an ATEX system and ATEX systems cannot be converted to non ATEX system. ATEX keying system is slightly more expensive than normal CLIQ system due to the annual ATEX audit and slightly modified production lines.
CLIQ ATEX products are approved:
Ex ib IIC T4 (for gas)
Ex ibD 21 T135 (for dust)
ATEX approved keys are marked with EX stamping.

Lifetime of the products

The expected lifetime of the electronic products is about seven years. After that the failure rate of any electronic products starts to grow due deterioration of electronic components and overall wear.
