The timing capabilities of the lock provides the opportunity to set the minimum time that can be used in the entering of the combination. The lock waits a period of time, typically, two seconds between the entry of one element of the combination and the lock permitting the entry at the next element of the combination. The microprocessor will also keep a count record of all the failed attempts to open the lock since the last successful operation. If the numbers of tries or attempts to unlock the lock equals or exceeds the number set in the microprocessor microcode, the lock will fail to open even if an authorized combination is subsequently entered. After an error indication is displayed, the lock is disabled to prevent further entry tries, until the lock is reset. In order to eliminate the possibility of correlation between the number displayed and/or entered and knob position, there is a random time delay between the start of knob rotation and the incrementing the number displayed. ators connected in series with said filter section for providing a signal path and, in parallel with said signal path, one or more fourth piezoelectric resonators connected in series.4.
