FAAC XKP W Radio Keypad
Installation and Operation Manual
Product Overview
The FAAC XKP W is a radio-controlled keypad designed for access control systems. It is part of the FAAC radio control system with SLH radio technology. For proper operation, all radio devices in an installation must use the same radio frequency (868 MHz or 433 MHz) and have the same radio code as the receiver.
The XKP W allows activation of radio channels by entering numerical codes reserved for each user. Each user code must be memorized on the device through a programming procedure. For security reasons, access codes should not be disclosed.
The XKP W features 4 radio channels (Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, Ch4). A direct radio channel can be programmed and activated using the 'E' button.
Important Safety Information:
- The XKP W cannot be used as an emergency stop.
- The XKP W cannot be used for maintained command operation.

3.1 Memorize User Code
This operation memorizes user codes required to activate radio channels. Perform according to the configured operation mode: Easy or Advanced. Only numerical codes are allowed. If attempting to memorize a code already present, the XKP W will signal an error.
Easy Operation: User codes are 4 digits (0000-9999). Each code can activate a single radio channel, specified during memorization.
Input: 1 # code # code E Ch # (e.g., User code 6110 for Channel 1: 1 # 6110 # 6110 E 1 #)
Advanced Operation: User codes are variable length from 2 to 6 digits (00-999999). Each code can activate one, multiple, or all available radio channels.
Input:
- 1 # code # code # (activates all channels)
- 1 # code # code E Ch # (activates only 1 channel)
- 1 # code # code E Ch Ch # (activates multiple channels)
Example: Code 610 for all channels: 1 # 610 # 610 #. Code 610 for Channel 1: 1 # 610 # 610 E 1 #. Code 610 for Channels 1 and 3: 1 # 610 # 610 E 1 3 #
3.2 Delete User Code
Input: 2 # code # code # (e.g., Delete user code 6110: 2 # 6110 # 6110 #)
3.3 Delete All User Codes
Input: 3 # 3 #
3.4 Modify Master Code (MdP)
Enter a new MdP of up to 6 digits. Numerical codes only (0-999999).
Input: 4 # new MdP # new MdP #
3.5 Restore Factory Settings
This operation resets the XKP W to factory defaults: empty user code memory, 'E' button disabled, Easy Operation mode, MdP set to 1234, and radio codes randomized. The XKP W will exit programming and enter standby mode.
Input: 5 # 5 #
3.6 Direct Radio Channel via 'E' Button
The 'E' button can be used to activate a radio channel without entering a user code (direct radio channel). By default, this function is disabled. To activate it, specify the channel (Ch 1-4). To disable it, enter 0 instead of the channel number.
Input:
- 6 # Ch # (activate on the specified channel)
- 6 # 0 # (deactivate)
Example: Activate 'E' button for direct radio channel 1: 6 # 1 #
3.8 Teach Radio Code
This operation allows a master XKP W to teach its radio code for a channel to a recipient device. This must be done for each channel to be used. Only Master XKP W units can teach.
- If the XKP W is part of a new radio system, it must teach its code to a receiver.
- If the XKP W is already operating with the receiver and a new radio transmitter is being added, the recipient device can be a radio-command or another XKP W (Master or Slave).
Follow the procedures below based on the recipient device:
Teaching a Radio Receiver:
Input: 8 # Ch # (e.g., send radio code for Channel 1: 8 # 1 #)
Within 25 seconds, put the receiver into learning mode for the desired channel (follow receiver instructions) and press #. Hold # until confirmation of learning is received.
The radio code for the selected channel is sent (green LED lights up). Verify learning confirmation on the receiver.
Repeat for each desired radio channel. For initial use of XKP W, each channel must be activated twice:
- Easy Operation: Enter user code, press E, wait for green LED to turn off, then press E again.
- Advanced Operation: Enter # user code E Ch, wait for green LED to turn off, then repeat Ch.
Teaching another XKP W:
Input: 8 # Ch # (e.g., send radio code for Channel 1: 8 # 1 #)
Within 25 seconds, put the recipient XKP W into learning mode for the desired channel (see Section 3.9) and bring the two devices into contact as shown in the figure. Then press #. Hold # until confirmation of learning is received.
The radio code for the selected channel is sent (green LED lights up). The recipient XKP W will confirm learning with a 0.5s green LED and one beep.
Repeat for each desired radio channel. For initial use of the new XKP W, each channel must be activated twice:
- Easy Operation: Enter user code, press E, wait for green LED to turn off, then press E again.
- Advanced Operation: Enter # user code E Ch, wait for green LED to turn off, then repeat Ch.
Teaching a Radio-Command:
Input: 8 # Ch # (e.g., send radio code for Channel 1: 8 # 1 #)
Within 25 seconds, bring the two devices into contact as shown in the figure. Then press #. Hold # until confirmation of learning is received.
The radio code for the selected channel is sent (green LED lights up). Simultaneously press the button on the radio-command and verify the learning confirmation (radio-command LED flashes twice and turns off).
Repeat for each desired radio channel. For initial use of the radio-command, each channel must be activated twice in quick succession.
3.9 Learn Radio Code
This operation allows learning the radio code of a channel from a master SLH radio transmitter. This must be done for each channel to be used. Both Master and Slave XKP W units can learn. The teaching device must be a master SLH radio transmitter.
Input: 9 # Ch # (e.g., for radio code on Channel 1: 9 # 1 #)
Within 25 seconds, bring the two devices into contact as shown in Figure (A or B) and transmit the radio code from the radio-command or the teaching XKP W.
- On the radio-command: Simultaneously press P1 and P2, release, then press the channel button.
- On the teaching XKP W: Perform the entire operation from Section 3.8.
The XKP W learns the radio code for the selected channel, signals OK, and returns to standby operation.
Repeat this operation for each desired radio channel. For initial use of the XKP W, each channel must be activated twice:
- Easy Operation: Enter user code, press E, wait for green LED to turn off, then press E again.
- Advanced Operation: Enter # user code E Ch, wait for green LED to turn off, then repeat Ch.
3.10 Set XKP W Slave
This operation is irreversible and transforms the XKP W (factory set as Master) into a Slave. An XKP W Slave can learn radio codes but cannot teach them.
Input: 10 # 105 #
3.11 Randomize Radio Codes
This operation assigns new radio codes to the XKP W for all channels. After this operation, the XKP W retains its programming and any created user codes, but for it to function, these codes must be re-memorized on all radio receivers where it needs to operate.
Input: 11 # 114 #
3.12 Easy or Advanced Operation
This operation is only possible if the user code memory is empty.
Input:
- 12 # 0 # (activates Easy Operation)
- 12 # 1 # (activates Advanced Operation)
4. Operation
Follow the safety instructions and installer recommendations. If the backlight is off, press any button to turn it on. Users with visual impairments can identify buttons by their raised dots.
Command with Code: Enter the command sequence according to the EASY or ADVANCED operating mode. To maintain access confidentiality, do not disclose the user code provided by the installer.
Easy Operation: Enter user code, then E. The XKP W executes the command and signals OK. The user code consists of 4 digits entered before E. If more than 8 digits are entered before E, the XKP W signals an error.
Advanced Operation: Enter # user code E command number (1-4). The XKP W executes the command and signals OK. If the code is activated for multiple commands, multiple digits can be entered after E.
Direct Command: Press the 'E' button. The XKP W executes the command and signals OK. If the 'E' button is not programmed, the XKP W signals an error.
Signal OK: 1 beep and 1 green LED flash, then XKP W returns to standby mode (LEDs off).
Signal ERROR: 5 rapid beeps and flashing red LED. The XKP W does not execute the command and returns to standby mode.
Error Signals:
- Error after E: Incorrect code.
- Error before E: More than 8 digits entered before E.
- Error after #: # was pressed twice.
Battery Signal: If the backlight briefly flashes at the end of a command sequence, the batteries are low. If the backlight no longer turns on when a button is pressed, but the red LED is solid, the batteries are depleted and must be replaced immediately.
Check Operating Mode: Enter # 4 E. Check the green LED: 1 brief flash = Easy, 2 brief flashes = Advanced.
5. Troubleshooting
Signal | Explanation | Action Required |
---|---|---|
XKP W signals an error on startup | Corrupted memory data. | Verify: remove and replace batteries. If the device signals an error and then turns off, replace the device. |
Programming with Easy Operation: error after confirming 2 or more channels. | Incorrect input: only one channel is allowed in Easy mode. | Press correctly. |
Programming, immediately after operation 8: indicates an error and exits programming. | Currently using an XKP W Slave. | Use an XKP W Master. |
User code activated does not activate the radio channel, error signaled after indicating the channel to activate. | User code is not activated for this channel. | Delete the user code and memorize it again on the desired channel. |
XKP W signals OK, but receiver's radio LED does not light up (channel not received). | Verify transmission frequency. | Use devices with the same transmission frequency. |
XKP W signals OK, the card receives the command (radio LED lights up) but does not execute. | Verify if the corresponding radio card LED lights up. | If it does not light up, repeat keypad memorization on the card. |
When pressing a button, the device does not turn on. | Absence of power or the device is not functioning. | Replace batteries. If the problem persists, replace the device. |
