5. Installation
The TKP3 Wireless Keypad is designed for easy installation. It can be mounted on a wall or a post near your gate. Ensure the mounting location is within the effective control range of your gate opener (up to 100 feet or 30 meters).
5.1 Mounting the Keypad
- Separate the keypad from its rear mounting plate. This typically involves removing small screws or prying the cover gently with a small flat-head screwdriver.
- Position the rear mounting plate on your desired surface (wall or post). Mark the drilling points for the mounting screws.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. If mounting to masonry or concrete, insert the provided wall anchors.
- Secure the rear mounting plate to the surface using the provided screws.
- Attach the keypad unit back onto the mounted plate, ensuring it clicks securely into place or is fastened with its screws.

6. Programming
The TKP3 keypad needs to be programmed to your gate opener's control board to function. The programming process involves learning the keypad's transmitter code and setting your desired entry code.
6.1 Learning the Keypad to the Gate Opener
Refer to your specific TOPENS gate opener manual for the exact location of the 'LEARN' button on its control board. The general steps are:
- Ensure the control board of the opener is powered on and in standby mode.
- Press and release the 'LEARN' button on the gate opener's control board. The LED on the control board will typically light up or flash, indicating it is in learning mode.
- Within 1-2 seconds, press the 'OK' button on the TKP3 keypad. The control board's LED will flash for 2 seconds and then turn off, indicating successful learning.
6.2 Programming a New Entry Code
For security reasons, it is recommended to change the factory default entry code. The keypad supports a single 6-digit entry code.
- With the control board in standby mode (LED flashes '—'), press and release the 'PIN' button on the keypad.
- Enter the 6-digit factory default entry code (usually '888888') and then press 'PIN' again. The LED on the keypad will display 'CH'.
- Enter your new 6-digit entry code and press 'PIN' to store it. The entry code is successfully updated when the control board's LED flashes for 2 seconds.
Note: If an error occurs during programming (e.g., incorrect code, timeout), the keypad will beep, and you may need to restart the process.

7. Operation
Once the keypad is successfully programmed, you can use it to operate your gate opener.
- To open or close the gate, enter your 6-digit entry code and then press the 'OK' button. The gate will begin to move.
- To stop the moving gate at any time, press the 'OK' button once.
Note: For TOPENS sliding gate openers, the TKP3 keypad cannot activate the midway (partial open) mode.

8. Compatibility
The TOPENS TKP3 Wireless Keypad is designed to work seamlessly with all TOPENS brand gate openers. For third-party gate openers, an additional accessory may be required.
- TOPENS Gate Openers: Directly compatible with all TOPENS gate opener models.
- Third-Party Gate Openers: Compatible with most third-party gate openers whose control board accepts a "Normally Open Dry Contact" signal for a push button. This requires the use of the TOPENS ERM12 External Receiver (sold separately). The ERM12 can be powered by 9-24VDC from the control board or an external power source.
Note: This keypad is exclusively for gate openers and does not support other door access control systems.
