La Gard 700 Series Keypad Installation Guide

Introduction

The La Gard 700 series Keypads are available in the following variations:

• Standard Profile (Tamper Evident)
• Low Profile (Tamper Evident)
• Standard Profile (Serviceable)
• Low Profile (Serviceable)

Mount the Keypad and connect to a compatible 700 series lock before installing battery or AC power.

• Tamper Evident Standard Profile Keypads are powered by 2 9-volt batteries which are accessible via the removable battery tray.
• Serviceable Standard Profile Keypads are powered by 2 9-volt batteries which are accessible by removing the front of the keypad itself.
• Low Profile Keypads must be installed with a secondary battery box or AC Power Adapter.

Mount a Tamper Evident Keypad (Standard & Low Profile)

Prior to connecting a safe lock to a Keypad, the Keypad must first be mounted to the exterior of the safe door. Follow these steps to properly mount a Keypad to the safe door:

1. Drill and tap the holes into the outside of the safe wall using the provided drill and tap template. Deburr the middle hole with a file or rotary tool.

   Note: Some safe manufacturers might include these holes at the OEM level.

2. Attach the Keypad baseplate onto the safe door using the provided Phillips head screws. The screws provided come in two variants: Metric M4-07 or US Customary Unit #8-32.
3. If mounting a deadbolt or springbolt, do the following:

   ⚠️ Do not use the anti-rotate device during this process, as it will render the safe permanently locked.

   1. Run the safe lock cable through the cable holder and place the cable holder over the corresponding posts of the Keypad body.
   2. Press the spindle all the way through the bottom of the plastic housing.
   3. Place the Keypad on the door. Rotate the Keypad 25 degrees clockwise so that it is vertically aligned. Measure 0.354 inches (9.0 mm) past the edge of the safe door and mark the spindle with a pen or marker.
   4. Remove the Keypad from the safe door and remove the spindle from the Keypad.
   5. Cut the spindle to the appropriate length as determined from Step c.
   6. Place the newly cut spindle into the Keypad, once again feeding it through the cable and spindle holder.
   7. Run the safe lock cable through the opening in the safe door.
   8. Place the Keypad over the opening in the grooves of the baseplate and rotate it 25 degrees to the vertical position.
4. If mounting a swingbolt, do the following:
   1. Place the anti-rotate device inside the four-hole locations in the housing. Press down lightly so the anti-rotate device sinks into the channel in the housing.

      Note: Ensure that the anti-rotate device is oriented properly, otherwise it will not engage properly with the baseplate when installed.

   2. Run the cable through the opening in the cable holder and place the cable holder over the corresponding posts in the Keypad body.
   3. Run the safe lock cable through the opening in the safe door.
   4. Place the Keypad over the opening in the channel of the baseplate and rotate 25 degrees to the vertical position. Some resistance occurs when winding up the anti-rotate device.
   5. The anti-rotate device will click into place, permanently locking the Keypad into a vertical position; the Keypad cannot be removed from the safe door without damaging the Keypad.
   6. Install the swingbolt.

Connect a Safe Lock to a Keypad

Once the Keypad and safe lock(s) are physically installed onto the safe, they can be connected to form a System. Follow these steps to connect a safe lock to a Keypad:

1. For single lock Systems, do the following:
   1. Connect the cable from the Keypad into the ENT port. With the lock connected, apply power to the system. If a Battery Box, Alarm Box or AC power adapter is used, plug the cable from any of those accessories into the safe lock BAT port.
   2. Follow the on-screen prompts for Display Keypads or consult the System User Guide (Document #7040.1121) for non-Display Keypads to enter the lock settings and initialization.
2. For multi-lock Systems, do the following:
   1. Connect the Keypad cable to the port on the side of the Multiplexer.
   2. Connect the first safe lock (known as Lock #1 to the System) from the ENT port to the #1 input on the Multiplexer.
   3. From Lock #1, connect from the BAT port to a power supply (either the AC Adapter into a wall receptacle or to the BAT port of a Battery Box).
   4. Repeat Step b for each safe lock.
   5. Display Keypads will show prompts on screen to continue, while non-Display Keypads require pound (#) commands. Consult the System User Guide (Document #7041.0320) for more information.

Battery Access & Installation

The System can be powered multiple ways: AC adapter (see Document #7037.0320), Battery Box (see Document #7035.0320), and/or battery power from the Keypad.

Only the standard profile Keypad possesses a battery pack for primary power, while a low-profile version uses a battery backup in case of emergencies.

Standard Profile (Tamper Evident) Keypad

For Standard Profile (Tamper Evident) Keypads, do the following to access and install the batteries:

1. Press downward on the spring-loaded button located at the bottom of the keypad's battery pack. The spring mechanism will partially eject the battery pack out of the housing.
2. With the battery pack partially removed, grab the tip of the battery pack and remove it from the Keypad.

   Diagram Description: Illustration of a battery pack being ejected from a keypad by pressing a spring-loaded button.

3. At this point the batteries are free to be added/removed/replaced. When installing the 9V batteries, use the markers in the battery tray to ensure the proper +/- orientation for each battery.

   Diagram Description: Diagram showing two 9V batteries correctly oriented with '+' and '-' terminals within a battery tray.

4. When finished installing the batteries into the battery tray, slide the tray back into the housing unit. When this is done properly, you should hear a small "click" sound ensuring the tray is secured properly.

Standard Profile Serviceable Keypad

For standard profile Keypads, do the following to access and install the batteries:

1. First, press the button on the underside of the keypad body. While holding this button, rotate the keypad counterclockwise until it becomes free from the baseplate. Flip over the keypad so that the reverse side of the keypad body is visible.

   Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrating the process of twisting the battery cover counterclockwise to detach it from the keypad housing, and then reattaching it by aligning posts and twisting clockwise.

2. Twist the battery cover counterclockwise to detach it from the housing.
3. Remove the battery cover and install the batteries. Use the labels in the battery tray to ensure the proper +/- orientation for each battery.
4. The battery cover can be reinserted the same way that it was removed: by lining up the posts (with the "this side up" label oriented as pictured) and twisting the cover so that the posts engage with the battery cover.
5. Replace the body of the keypad back onto the keypad by lining up the divot with the triangle on the keypad and rotating clockwise until the keypad body stops moving.

Low Profile Keypad

For Low Profile Keypads, do the following to access and install the backup battery:

1. If backup (emergency) power is needed, flip up the battery panel on the lower housing, which will release a battery strap.

   Diagram Description: Illustration of a flip-up battery panel on the lower housing of a Low Profile Keypad, designed to release a battery strap.
