Included Hardware

• 3 x #8-32 x 5/16" machine screws
• 4 x #7 wood & #8-32 machine x 20mm combination screws
• 2 x M6 x 55mm long through bolts
• Optional Network Module

Programming Instructions

A Master PIN Code must be created before any further programming. Max user codes = 250 with the Network Module installed; YRD246 max = 25 without network module; YRD446 max = 12 without network module.

1. Creating the Master PIN Code

Must be performed upon installation or after resetting the lock to factory default. Programming and use of the lock is not possible until this step is completed.

1. Touch screen to wake — unit responds "Register Master Code. Press the gear key to continue."
2. Enter a 4-8 digit Master PIN code followed by the gear key.
3. Unit responds "Registered."

2. Creating User PIN Codes

Master PIN code must be created first.

1. Enter Master PIN code, press gear key — unit enters "Menu Mode, enter number, press the gear key to continue."
2. Enter 4-8 digit PIN code for the new user; press gear key (code flashes to confirm).
3. To add more user codes, repeat entering additional 4-8 digit PIN codes. Press the gear key to end programming.

3. Unlocking the Door with a PIN Code

Enter PIN code and press the gear/check key.

Resetting the Lock to Factory Default

Resetting deletes all user codes (including the Master PIN code) and restores all programming to factory defaults.

1. Remove the battery cover and batteries.
2. Remove the interior escutcheon to access the reset button (located beside the PCB cable connector).
3. While pressing the reset button (minimum 3 seconds), reinstall the batteries, then release the button.
4. Replace the battery cover.

After a reset, Master PIN Code creation is the only available option and must be completed before any other programming.

Factory Settings

Key Definitions

• All Code Lockout Mode: Enabled by Master code — restricts all user (non-Master) PIN code access; a red padlock icon appears on attempted entry.
• Automatic Re-lock Time: Automatically re-locks 30 seconds after a successful code entry unlocks the door.
• Inside Indicator Light: Shows active locked status on the interior escutcheon; enable/disable via Advanced Lock Settings (Main Menu #3).
• Language Setting Mode: English (1), Spanish (2), or French (3) for voice prompts.
• Low Battery: Flashes RED warning indicator. If power is completely lost, apply a 9V battery (either direction) to the terminals below the touchscreen as backup power, then enter your PIN to unlock.
• Master PIN Code: Used for programming and feature settings; also unlocks/locks the door. Must be created before any other programming.
• Network Module Setting: With the optional Network Module installed, available through Main Menu (7) to connect the lock to a network controller.
• One Touch Locking: When enabled and the latch is retracted, activating the keypad extends the latch (during re-lock window or if auto re-lock is disabled).
• Privacy Mode: Disabled by default; press the privacy button for 4 seconds to enable do-not-disturb mode (disables all PIN codes).
• Shutdown Time: Unit shuts down (flashing RED) for 60 seconds after the wrong code entry limit (5 attempts) is reached.
• Tamper Alert: Audible alarm sounds if someone attempts to forcibly remove the outside lock from the door.
• User PIN Code: Operates the lock. Max 250 codes with Network Module, 25 without (YRD246), 12 without (YRD446).
• Volume Setting Mode: Low (2) by default; can be set to High (1) or Silent (3).
• Wrong Code Entry Limit: After 5 unsuccessful attempts, the unit shuts down and disallows operation.

Programming Troubleshooting

Hardware Troubleshooting

• Bolt will not deadlock: Check for sufficient clearance of the bolt within the strike-side jamb (increase pocket depth if needed). Check for bolt/strike misalignment.
• Bolt does not extend/retract smoothly: Check bolt/strike alignment, backset adjustment, door preparation (re-bore holes too small/misaligned), keypad wire harness routing under the bolt, and bolt orientation.
• Keypad numerics are scrolling: Remove the interior escutcheon and verify the wire harness lies flat against the back recessed area, is properly routed, and tucked under the plastic cable guide.

Note to installer and consumer: While Yale includes several features to prevent lockout (9V battery jumper, low battery warnings), a lockout situation is still possible. Because this product has no mechanical override (key), Yale recommends using it in an environment with additional entry points into the dwelling.
