Code Entry Mode
During everyday operation the keypad will be in code entry mode or ‘logged off’. This is also the mode that
the keypad is in when it is first powered up. When the keypad is in code entry mode the LED will light red to
signify that the keypad is waiting for either an entry code or the engineer’s code to be entered.
When entering a code, spurious digits may be entered before and after the valid code to help disguise it from
onlookers or other surveilance (maximum 20 characters to be entered at any one time).
[Care should be taken not to activate the Operator Under Duress alarm by prefixing a valid entry code with
the numbers 9 or 1. [see Activating the Operator Under Duress Alarm].
Entry codes should not begin with the numbers 9 or 1 as this can also lead to non intentional triggering of the
Operator Under Duress Alarm. [see Adding and Removing Codes].
When a valid entry code has been entered the door strike will release for the period of the strike time
[see Setting the Door Strike Time] or latch open, depending on what type of code was entered [see section
Adding and Removing Codes].
The LED will light green to signify that the door lock is in a released (or open) condition.
Programing Mode
To enter programming mode it is required that the operator ‘logs on’ by entering the engineer’s code.
When logging on, the engineer’s code must be preceded by the # key. If the code is correct the LED
will start flashing (red and green alternately) to signify that the operator has logged on and that the keypad is
in programming mode ready to accept commands.
Once in programming mode the operator can set up the keypad. After each segment of a command
sequence is entered the keypad will give a rising tone beep to indicate that it has accepted the data and is
ready for the next segment of the command. If at any stage the keypad gives an error beep (decreasing
pitch) then the data entered is invalid. The keypad will remain in programming mode but you must re-enter
the whole of the command sequence within which the error beep occurred.
For security reasons it is essential that the default engineer’s code is replaced with your own six digit
code. Please ensure a record of the code is kept in a secure place.
The Strikemaster Keypad has a buzzer and LED to provide feedback to the user. These meanings are used
