Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Retekess T-AC800 keypad, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Keypad Unresponsive: Check the power supply connection. Ensure the keypad is receiving adequate power (DC 12V).
- Programming Difficulties: Double-check the programming code (default 123456). Ensure you are following the correct sequence for adding users as described in the 'Adding Users' section. Incorrect key presses or timing can lead to programming failures.
- Door Not Unlocking: Verify that the electric lock is correctly wired to the keypad and power supply. Check the lock's power requirements and ensure they match the power supply output. Confirm that the user card or password is correctly registered and entered.
- Tamper Alarm: The keypad features tamper detection. If the unit is improperly installed or tampered with, an alarm may sound. Ensure secure mounting.
- Interference: While designed with anti-interference ability, strong electromagnetic fields nearby could potentially affect performance. Try to relocate the keypad or identify sources of interference if issues persist.
For complex issues, it may be necessary to inspect the internal circuit board. This should only be done by qualified personnel.
