AC-KP1200
Series Digital Keypad
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
to 8 digit programmable code that the user will enter into the
keypad to activate certain functions. This code can have leading
zeroes as part of the code. This information should be recorded
and stored in a safe place for future reference. The keypad can
support a total of 999 users, from 1 to 999 (See chart on page 10).
User number one belongs to the Master User and has a default
user code of 1234. Note that the master user code is used for
administration ONLY, and will not (normally) operate relays,
wiegand, or wireless functions. When a global disable is engaged
(all users locked out), the master code will still operate relay one.
User number two will toggle the global enable/disable
function when prefixed by two or more pound (‘#’) keys. This
allows lockout of all other codes (user two
will still be able to operate the keypad normally, even
when the global lockout is engaged). Therefore, user number two
should be reserved for use by a manager. When entered without
the prefixed ‘#’s, the code of user number 2 operates the keypad in
the same way as the other users do.
When using the keypad with variable-length user codes, it is
necessary for the user to press the star (*) key after the User Code
has been entered. This indicates the end of the code, and causes
the keypad to attempt to validate the entered code.
If the number entered is valid, the keypad will perform the
programmed function (e.g., activate the relay).
For example, to operate the keypad using the user code 1234
(which must be entered as a user code in programming mode
first), enter 1234*. While the door is unlocked, or whatever job your
unit is to perform, the green LED will blink at a slow rate. Note that
the star key can be substituted with another digit of your choice.
(See 0# Set Enter Key at right)
Understanding the LEDs
The three Light Emitting Diodes (LED’s) above the keypad provide
information on the status of the unit.
NOTE: A ‘slow’ flash is once every two seconds and a ‘fast’
flash is once every second.
•GREEN LED:
‘ON’ Solid: No errors, output is active.
‘FAST FLASHING’: Keypad is in programming mode.
•RED LED:
‘ON’ Solid: Error condition. See chart at end of this manual.
•YELLOW LED:
For ADA requirements, both a visual and audible key-press
indicator (blinks on each key-press). This can be enabled or
disabled during programming. See the [*6] 0 # programming
option for more details.
Using with TM-12 Transmitter
Another unique feature of our AC-KP1200 keypad is the ability to
plug in our TM-12 transmitter to send the signal wirelessly
to our
RC-12 receiver (the keypad still requires 12 or 24V AC/DC power
to operate however). The RF transmit function even works in
“Split Output Mode”. See wiring diagram #3 Page 11 for the RF
mounting location.
Set-up Instructions:
Note:
1. Keep careful track of User Codes and to whom they are
assigned, assigned outputs, etc. as you program them, and keep
the list in a safe place.
2. Press the buttons firmly.
3. Whenever the * and any other character are included in
brackets [*x], press the * first and, while holding the * down,
press the other key. Release both keys together.
[*1] Enter Program Mode (First Step)
Press * and 1 at the same time. Enter the Master Code (1234 is the
factory default), then *. The green LED should now be rapidly
flashing.
The keypad will remain in program mode until no key is
pressed for approximately 30 seconds. To exit programming
mode quickly, press the special sequence – “* # *”.
For example, [*1] 1 2 3 4 * will put the keypad in program mode.
[*1] Administration Functions
1# Set Code Length
Default: 0 (variable code length)
When set to zero, user codes can vary from one to eight
characters, but must be terminated by pressing the “enter key”,
which by default is ‘*’. When set non-zero, all user codes must use
the programmed length, but will not require termination by the
programmed “enter key”.
(User codes shorter than the maximum are still allowed, but the
user must terminate it with the current “enter” key).
For example, [*1] 1 # 4 * will set all user codes to a fixed 4-digit
length.
0# Set Enter Key
Default: ‘*’
If the code length has been left at 0 (see above), then use this
feature to select the “enter” key used to terminate user code entry.
The default setting is ‘*’, but it can be changed to any key on the
keypad (select carefully).
For example, [*1] 0 # # * will change the user code enter key to ‘#’.
2# Incorrect Code Count Alarm
Default: 0 (disabled)
When set to zero, the keypad will not alarm on entry of invalid
codes. When set to a value between 1 and 20, the keypad will
generate an alarm after the specified number of invalid codes
