1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description 

The CL-8A and CL-8A T (version with tamper 

switch) are digital, code-operated keypads for 

indoor access control and remote control 

applications. The keypad can function with virtually 

every security control panel on the market, and is 

suitable for surface mounting or flush mounting in a 

standard single-gang switchbox.  

 

1.2 Features 

 

Self-contained, suitable for flush and surface mounting; 

supplied with a surface mounting box. 

 

Includes a 10 A relay, which operates the door strike or 

performs any desired switching function. 

 

Programmable on site by use of its own keyboard. 

 

Non-volatile EEPROM stores programmed data; 

unaffected by power failure. 

 

Up to 56 different 1-8 digit user codes can be programmed. 

 

More than 100 million code combinations are possible. 

 

User codes may be individually deleted. 

 

Programmable AUXILIARY open-collector output with seven 

powerful operating modes. 

 

Each user code programmable to operate the RELAY, or the 

AUXILIARY

 

output, or BOTH. 

 

Programmable relay contact closure duration; toggle (latch/ 

unlatch) mode may be selected if required. 

 

PANIC

 

output triggered by pressing the 

#

 and 

*

 keys 

simultaneously. 

 

Three built-in LED indicators.  

 

REQUEST TO EXIT remote input trips the relay with a remote 

switch or a detector. 

 

A penalty timer locks out the keypad for 30 seconds after 

three consecutive inputs of erroneous codes. 

 

An AMBUSH

 

digit, if entered after the last digit of the user 

code, sends a one-second pulse to the

 

PANIC

 

output.  

 

9 to 16 or 22 to 26 Volts AC/DC operation. 

 

Tamper switch option available.

3. INSTALLATION 

3.1 Mounting 

Do not install outdoors! Flush mounting is possible in standard, 

single-gang electrical switch boxes (see Figure 1), without the 

original back box. For surface mounting, use the back box 

supplied with the unit (Fig. 2).

3.2 Wire Gauges and Routing 

Use # 20 AWG or larger diameters for relay connections to the 

door strike, to the control panel or any other system used. All 

other connections are to be made with # 22 AWG or larger. Route 

the wires through the wiring knockouts on the back box. 

3.3 Wiring 

IMPORTANT!

 Before wiring be sure to set jumper JP3 in the position 

that corresponds with the power source you are using: 

9 - 16 Volts

 - mount the jumper across the two pins of JP3. 

22-26 Volts 

-

 

remove the jumper or mount it on a single pin of JP3.  

The connections to the terminal block are shown in Figure 3.

IMPORTANT:

 when a 12 VAC

power source is used, LEDs

connected to the PANIC or AUX

open-collector outputs will light

normally when the output pulls

down. Buzzers will not function

properly, and should therefore

be avoided.

When a 24VAC power source is

used, neither LEDs nor buzzers

should be connected to the

PANIC and AU X outputs.
