Ambient Light Sensor Calibration
Behind each button is an LED backlight, which illuminates the engraving. The ambient light
sensor adjusts the keypad’s backlight brightness according to the light level in the room.
Once the custom, laser-engraved buttons are installed, calibrate the ambient light sensor.
NOTE:
The LED backlight is enabled after light sensor calibration.
To calibrate the light sensor:
1. Ensure the faceplate and bottom trim piece are installed correctly. Remove the top
trim piece.
2. Press and hold the setup button using the pointed end of the supplied spudger tool
until all keypad backlights flash magenta (about 2 seconds).
3. Avoid blocking the light sensor. The light sensor should remain unobstructed and
free of direct light. After about 5 seconds, the calibration process is complete. The
keypad returns to normal operation.
