FAQs

What is the fire protection rating of this safe?

The BURG-WÄCHTER FP 44 E is tested according to NT FIRE 017-60 P, providing 60 minutes of fire protection for paper documents at external temperatures up to 1,000°C.

Can I store digital media like USB drives or CDs in this safe?

While the safe protects against direct fire, the internal temperature can rise to 160°C. This temperature may be too high for some sensitive electronic media, potentially causing damage. It is best suited for paper documents.

How do I program the user codes?

Refer to the user manual provided with the safe. Typically, you will use a combination of the keypad, the LCD display, and possibly a master code to set your unique user codes.

Does the safe require a power connection?

No, the safe is battery-operated using 4 AA batteries. This allows for flexible placement without needing to be near a power outlet.

Is the safe protected against theft?

The safe features a double-walled door and body, offering basic protection against forced entry. For optimal security, it is recommended to fix the safe to the floor using the included mounting materials.

What are the external and internal dimensions?

External dimensions are 296 mm (Depth) x 390 mm (Width) x 320 mm (Height). Interior dimensions are 310 mm (Width) x 215 mm (Depth) x 215 mm (Height).

What is included in the package?

The package includes the BURG-WÄCHTER FP 44 E fireproof safe with drawer, mounting material, and 4 AA batteries.

Troubleshooting

Safe will not open with code

Ensure batteries are correctly installed and charged. Double-check the entered code for accuracy, paying attention to case sensitivity if applicable (though electronic locks typically are not). Try entering the general code or the emergency access code if available. Refer to the manual for factory reset procedures if necessary.

Electronic lock not responding

Check and replace the AA batteries. Ensure they are inserted with the correct polarity. Clean the keypad surface as dirt or moisture can interfere with its function.

Safe door is difficult to open/close

Check for any obstructions around the door seal or locking bolts. Ensure the safe is on a level surface. If recently mounted, verify that the mounting does not impede door movement.

Low battery indicator is constantly on

The batteries may be low or faulty. Replace all 4 AA batteries with new, high-quality ones.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Install Batteries: Open the safe door and insert the 4 included AA batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
  2. Program Codes: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to program your desired general and user codes via the electronic keypad and LCD display.
  3. Secure to Floor (Recommended): Use the included mounting materials to fix the safe to a solid floor. This involves drilling appropriate holes in the floor and securing the safe using the provided hardware. Ensure the floor surface is suitable for drilling and anchoring.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to store documents up to DIN A4 size.
  • Suitable for small valuables, cash, jewelry, and important papers.
  • Internal temperature limit (below 160°C) means it is primarily for paper; sensitive electronic media (like USB drives or CDs) may not be adequately protected from heat over the long term.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace batteries annually or when the low battery indicator appears on the LCD screen to ensure the lock functions correctly.
  • Lock Maintenance: Keep the keypad clean and dry. Test the lock mechanism periodically by opening and closing the safe.
