CISA AP3 UNIKA is the key associating the AP3 mechanical system, patented and with duplicates only obtainable from CISA and CISA Solution Partners, with a new key bow equipped with a transponder, which can open electronic access control devices.
With AP3 UNIKA you can combine AP3 master key systems and electronical systems.
As regards the mechanical part, the AP3 UNIKA keys are provided arranged to open the doors with mechanical devices (cylinders, padlocks, ...) according to the agreed specification.
Each key is identified with a code marked on the neck of the key.
As regards the electronic part, the AP3 UNIKA keys are provided with any initialization.
For these reasons, the AP3 UNIKA keys are listed in the key list with the status "Undetermined".
To program an AP3 UNIKA key for the first time you must specify the code marked on the neck of the key in order to properly associate the electronic part with the mechanical part.
UNIKA keys are all listed in the Key List. Those you have not yet programmed are in a Undetermined status.

Note:
The PRIVACY is a feature that some electronic locks have. It is designed for hotels' guests that, once inside their room, can prevent the door opening by the service staff: you can activate it simply pressing the PRIVACY button on the inside of the lock.
When you program a card, with the "Override PRIVACY" option you can decide if a card can ignore the PRIVACY function (it is important for the manager which can open in case of emergency). Usually, in a hotel, service staff cards don't override the PRIVACY, while manager's and guests' cards can override.
Note: make sure that your electronic lock supports this feature.
