Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
Pertanyaan umum tentang NU-SET dari 3G Electric.
What materials are used in NU-SET lockboxes?
NU-SET lockboxes are constructed from either painted metal or painted zinc alloy, depending on the model. The metal variants offer a durable, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Zinc alloy models provide additional impact resistance and are often used in higher-traffic or more demanding environments. Both materials are finished with a painted coating in black or black/gray colors to reduce visibility and resist scratching.
How do I set the combination on a NU-SET mechanical lockbox?
NU-SET mechanical combination lockboxes are designed for field-set combination changes without special tools. Typically, the process involves opening the lockbox with the factory-set combination, locating the combination reset mechanism (often a small button or lever inside the box), and dialing in a new combination according to the included instructions. The exact procedure may vary by model, so refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific steps. The mechanical design ensures the combination remains set until intentionally changed.
What is the key capacity range for NU-SET padlock lockboxes?
NU-SET padlock lockboxes are available with key capacities ranging from 2 to 6 keys, depending on the model. For example, the 7012-3 model holds 2 keys, while the 2084-3 model holds 6 keys. Surface-mount lockboxes offer capacities up to 7 keys, such as the 2085-3 model. The capacity is determined by the internal compartment size and the number of key hooks or slots provided.
Can NU-SET lockboxes be used outdoors?
NU-SET lockboxes are constructed with painted metal or zinc alloy finishes that provide some resistance to moisture and corrosion, making them suitable for sheltered outdoor use, such as under eaves or in covered equipment yards. However, they are not rated for continuous exposure to heavy rain, salt spray, or extreme weather. For outdoor applications, consider mounting the lockbox in a protected location and periodically inspecting the finish for wear. The mechanical combination lock is not affected by temperature extremes, unlike electronic locks.
What mounting options are available for NU-SET surface-mount lockboxes?
NU-SET surface-mount lockboxes are designed for direct attachment to walls, posts, or equipment using screws or bolts through pre-drilled mounting holes. The lockbox body includes flanges or tabs for secure fastening. Models like the 7061 and 2085-3 have outside dimensions that accommodate standard mounting hardware. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and capable of supporting the lockbox weight (typically under 2 kg). No additional brackets are required.
Are NU-SET lockboxes compatible with lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures?
Yes, NU-SET lockboxes are commonly used in lockout/tagout programs to store keys for padlocks or equipment during maintenance. The mechanical combination lock allows authorized personnel to access keys without needing individual keys for the lockbox itself. Models with higher key capacities (e.g., 6 or 7 keys) are suitable for group LOTO scenarios where multiple locks need to be secured. The lockbox can be mounted near the equipment being serviced for convenient access.
