10. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Keypad not responding / No power | No power supply, loose wiring. | Check power connections and ensure DC12V is supplied. Verify all wiring is secure. |
| RFID card not recognized | Card not registered, incorrect card type (e.g., 13.56MHz instead of 125KHz), card damaged. | Ensure the card is registered in the system. Verify it is a 125KHz RFID card. Try a different registered card. |
| PIN not working | Incorrect PIN entered, PIN not registered, keypad in programming mode. | Re-enter PIN carefully. Ensure PIN is registered. Exit programming mode if active. |
| Door not unlocking | Incorrect wiring to lock, lock malfunction, insufficient power to lock. | Verify lock wiring (NO/NC/COM). Test the lock independently. Ensure power supply meets lock requirements. |
| Tamper alarm activates unexpectedly | Keypad disturbed, wiring issue. | Check mounting for stability. Inspect wiring for shorts or damage. |
