6. Programming and Operation
The KP100 is programmed directly from the keypad. A master code is required to enter programming mode.
6.1 Initial Setup (Master Code)
Upon first power-up, the keypad will be in a default state. You will need to set a master code.
- Enter the default master code (refer to specific product documentation, often 1234 or 0000).
- Press * to enter programming mode. The red LED may illuminate.
- Enter a new master code (4-8 digits) and press #.
- Re-enter the new master code and press # to confirm.
- Press * to exit programming mode.
6.2 Adding User Codes
- Enter the master code and press * to enter programming mode.
- Press 1 (or the designated key for adding users).
- Enter a unique user ID (e.g., 001-100) and press #.
- Enter the new user code (4-8 digits) and press #.
- Repeat steps 3-4 for additional users, or press * to exit programming mode.
6.3 Deleting User Codes
- Enter the master code and press * to enter programming mode.
- Press 2 (or the designated key for deleting users).
- Enter the user ID to be deleted and press #.
- Repeat step 3 for additional deletions, or press * to exit programming mode.
6.4 Normal Operation
To gain access, simply enter a valid user code followed by the # key. The green LED will illuminate, and the relay will activate for the programmed duration, unlocking the door.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the keypad surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check wiring connections for security and signs of wear.
- Functionality Test: Regularly test all programmed user codes and the relay operation to ensure proper function.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad not responding | No power or incorrect wiring. | Check power supply and all wiring connections. Ensure correct voltage and polarity. |
| Code entered, but door does not unlock | Incorrect user code, relay not configured, or lock malfunction. | Verify user code. Check relay programming (momentary/latching). Test the lock mechanism independently. |
| Backlight not working | Power issue or internal fault. | Ensure stable power supply. If problem persists, contact technical support. |
| Cannot enter programming mode | Incorrect master code. | Verify the master code. If forgotten, a factory reset may be required (refer to specific product documentation for reset procedures, as this will erase all programmed data). |
