1. How to connect Deutsch 4 pin:
Each end of the CAN bus is terminated with 120Ωresistors in compliance with the standard to
minimize signal reflections on the bus. You may need to place a 120Ω resistor between CAN-L and
CAN-H.

3. Message header description
The 29-bit CAN identifier used in J1939 is structured in the following way.
Priority
Reserved
Data Page
PDU Format
PDU Specific
Source Address
3 bits
1 bit
1 bit
8 bits
8 bits
8 bits
The proprietary format used by PK and PKP keypads is defined as follows:
Priority = 6.
Reserved = 0.
Data page = 0.
PDU Format = EFh (the message is addressable).
PDU Specific = Destination Address.
Parameter Group Number (PGN) = 61184 (EF00h).
An example of CAN identifier of messages sent to the keypad is 18EF2100h where:
21h is the destination address (keypad)
00h is the source address.
An example of CAN identifier of messages sent by the keypad is 18EFFF21h where:
FFh refers to broadcast messages (no specific destination address)
21h is the source address (keypad).
4. General Data Format
The proprietary protocol has defined a general format for the data fields in the PGN 61184. The format
consists of:
1 header field (2 bytes)
1 command byte
8 bytes (the remaining field) are defined specifically for each command.
The data length is 8 bytes, unused bits and bytes are set to all 1’s (0xFF).

14. Periodic state transmission (71h)
This message enables or disables the periodic transmission of the Key state.
When enabled, one contact state message is periodically sent for each button of the keypad. For
some keypad models there could be additional messages (e.g. the PKP2400 has 8 button but 11
messages are sent).
The period is set to 100ms as default value but can be changed by command 77h.

Claim
Address claiming procedure:
Under normal operation, the keypad application sends an Address Claim parameter group at start
up and waits up to 250 ms for the other devices connected to the same network to send a message
containing the device’s address and name. The keypad checks every response and compares the
names to see who has the highest priority. If a device is already using the address and has a higher
priority, then a new address is selected and the process starts over. If the keypad has a higher
priority than the device in use then it waits for other systems to reply, while the responding device
will have to change its address and send an address claim itself. If no message is received after the
time (250ms) is up, then the device has claimed the address.
Address claim parameter group:
Priority = 6.
Destination Address should always be the Global Address FFh
Parameter Group Number (PGN) = 60928(EE00h).
