All about the ark Tamo Illumination module
There are currently 2 versions of the ark Tamo. The illumination module is different in each version.
You can identify which version you have by looking at the below descriptions and photos.
1. The Rev C version of the ark Tamo has a sealed illumination module. You will notice there is a green circuit board that is situated underneath the setting dials. Please follow the relevant instructions further down in this article for Changing the Illumination Module in a Rev C Tamo.
2. The Rev D version of the ark Tamo has an illumination module with a user replaceable battery. The base of the module is visible between the code cover and the hinge. Please follow the relevant instructions further down in this article for Changing the Battery in a Rev D Tamo.
Information on the Rev C Illumination Module
The earlier Rev C version of the ark Tamo key safe is equipped with an integrated illumination module which is powered by a cell battery. The battery is designed to last up to 5 years with normal use (up to 4 times per day). However, with more frequent use, the battery life may be shorter. While the mechanical parts of the key safes are covered by a 5-year warranty (upon successful product registration), the illumination modules are covered for 2 years.
To activate the lights, pull down and release the clear/reset button in the middle of the key safe.
Should you experience any issues with the illumination module, please contact our customer service team on 0330 363 0303 or email us at [email protected]
However, rest assured that the key safe will remain secure, and it will still function correctly. The illumination module only powers the lights, the key safe is mechanical and will continue to operate even when the battery goes flat.
You will notice that the lights begin to fade as the battery depletes until the lights eventually stop working altogether when the battery is completely flat. Lights will not be highly visible if the key safe is in direct sunlight. The key safe will continue to operate once battery is depleted.
