Protect the keypad from lightning & power surges:
If you install a keypad that is in an area where lightning can damage a keypad, make sure the
keypad metal housing is grounded. Install a Model 306 Lighting & Surge Protector. There is no
warranty if the keypad is damaged due to lighting static electricity or high voltage power
surges. The Model 306 will help to protect the electronics in the keypad and is very easy to
install. Do not ground the housing to the fence, fence post or pedestal. Ground the keypad
mental housing to an electrical ground (operator) or install a ground rod.

Trouble Shooting:
If Lightning or a High Voltage Surge strikes the keypad the microprocessor
may go into a self-protect mode causing one or more of the following conditions:
The Yellow LED may stay on. The Green LED may stay on (relay latched)
The buzzer may not produce an audible tone. Some of the keys on the keypad may or may not
work and/or the keypad may not function at all.
To reset the keypad, disconnect the power to the keypad and wait at least two (2) minutes,
then re- connect the power to the keypad and enter your code number. If the keypad still
does not work, then a high voltage surge has damaged the microprocessor. Return the keypad
to Carefree-Security for evaluation.
