1. OVERVIEW
1.1 Introduction
This version of keypad uses the new 32-bit microcontroller ARM core design with enhanced benecial functions. It’s a new
generation of multi-function access controller with a card reader mode, single-door mode, interlock mode, Demo mode etc.
All of them could be widely used in oce buildings, homes, schools, condominium, apartments, factories, fenced in yards and
other places.
1.2 Function features
• Built-in reader reads 125 kHz proximity credentials (EM& HID format).
• Vandal-resistant metal backlit keypad.
• Single-door controller can be set to Reader mode, Interlock mode and demo mode.
• Reader mode Wiegand output is congurable by the installer.
• Authentication by Card and PIN or Multi-cards to open the door.
• Administrator Super-open-card and Super-open-password to open door.
• Convenient administrator Add-card, Delete-card, Anti-duress-card, Authorization-card, and Normal-open card operation.
• Quick access to the management menu using admin password card feature.
• User card capacity up to 20,000, the admin programming card capacity up to 21.
• Quick access to the management menu using Set-card operation
• Doorbell button available using the “#” key once it is congured.
• In Reader mode, the keypad red and green LED indicators can be controlled externally.
• Innovative infrared tampering detection technology. The keypad can alarm 24/7 and it will not be aected by ambient light.
• Door Strike or maglock controlled by output relay contacts (NO, NC, COM).
• Alarm and doorbell signal output by MOS and it can be the driver of an alarm device or a doorbell.

2. INSTALLATION, WIRING AND DEBUGGING
2.1 Installation
Using the Torx screwdriver remove the security fastening screw at the bottom of the device. Take o the bottom case and use
it to mark the position on the wall for the mounting holes. Use a drill to open a corresponding hole in the wall. The backplate
marks an outlet hole with a diameter greater than ¼” (8mm) and four plastic wall plugs holes with a diameter of ¼” (6mm). Use a
Phillips screwdriver to secure the backplate to the four matching plastic wall plugs with the four matching self-taping screws.
2.2 Wiring
Refer to the selected wiring diagram, cut the wire to the right length and cut o the excess feeding the cable through the wall
or into the backbox. Connect the remaining keypad wires as shown on the wiring diagram. Be careful not to connect the wrong
wires or short circuit, otherwise permanent damage to the keypad may occur. After checking, power on for a short time, conrm
the indicator light is normal and the buzzer beeps once. Otherwise, power o immediately and recheck the wiring properly. If all
is well, secure the keypad onto the backplate on the wall and tighten it with the security screw as below:
The product wiring colors and functions are shown in the following table:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.3 Commissioning the system
Once the keypad is powered, conduct the following test, Getting Started, until you can open the door by reading a card,
input PIN or exit button.
3. GETTING STARTED
Writing Conventions:
• Keypad operation only can be used between these12 buttons; “0123456789*#”
• “…” means continue similar operation as indicated from previous operations.
• “,”is not an actual operation, it’s just punctuated.
• “()” means the series of numeric numbers which will be typed into the keypad, like a PIN code, ID number ,card number etc.
Operation Conventions:
• “Beep-”one long beep means the operation was correct. “beep-beep-beep” three short beeps mean operation was
incorrect. LED light turn to green means operation was successful.
• “#” means previous operation was received by system, it normally used at the end of entering the digital numbers of PIN
code, ID number, card number or parameter, when you type this key, it means input is nished.
• “ * ” means cancel current operation or back to previous menu
• Management menu is xed to 2 digits, from 00~99, Don’t press “#” on the keypad afterwards. After entering the 2 digits, the
LED will turn to orange (or purple), if the operation failed you will hear “beep-beep-beep”3 short beeps.
• Under the management menu operation mode, if there is no activity detected without any operation over 30 seconds, it will
revert to standby mode automatically.
Indicator light and buzzer prompt:

3.1 Enter management menu operation mode
* (Hold on for more than 2 seconds), (Input admin password) #
3.2 Change admin password
00, (New admin password) #, (Repeat new admin password) #
Note: New admin password must be a 6 digit number.
3.3 Set controller to Single-door mode
Factory default setting is in single door mode. To conrm the mode, the user can set it again by following the steps: 03, 1#
3.4 Set door opening time to 2S
The factory default door opening time is 2 seconds. If user is not sure about the time period, set it again following steps:
34, 2 #
3.5 Add User Card
10, read card, read card …repeat the operation till the last user card.
Note: the keypad can read multiple card credentials continuously (Batch loading). When you hear a long “beep- “and the
indicator light turns to green it means the new card was added successfully. After nishing enrolling the last card, press the
* key to exit the add user card status.
3.6 Add User PIN
11(ID) #, (User PIN) #, (ID) #, (User PIN) #, …repeat the operation till the last user PIN.
Note: The user ID range is from 1 to 20,000 and must not be added before. User PIN is a 4~6 digits number and this number
must not be 1234. Controller can add more users continuously, after the last user PIN, press the * key to exit the add User
PIN status.
Note: Admin password is a 6 digits number, 888888 is the factory default admin password. The user must
change the admin password when they use the keypad. A new admin password is required, otherwise the
user cannot continue other operations. After inputting the new admin password, the LED light will ash
green once and then back to red ash status, all of the other operations will be similar.

4.1.28 Set reader output format
4.1.28.1 Set facility code
60, (0-255)#, default value is 0, set facility code.
Note: When the key output format is a multi key buer output, the facility code will be used, See the following sections for
specic selections
4.1.28.2 Set D0 & D1 output format
61, 0#, D0 & D1 output wiegand format.
61, 1#, D0 output RS232-TTL-HEX format.
61, 2#, D0 output RS232-TTL-ASCII-8 format
61, 3#, D0 output RS232-TTL-ASCII-10 format.
Note: The wiegand format is an international protocol for access control products. But the width of pulse and interval time
are dierent. Our standard: Pulse’s high level is 5V and low level is 0V. Width is 40uS, interval time is 2mS.
RS232-TTL-HEX format refers to the standard RS232 communication protocol data output, TTL level 0-5V, the output data is
output by the card byte HEX format.
The output RS232-TTL-ASCII-8 format is the output data is ASCII character format, card number data is 8 bit format, and
same as the ordinary EM card marked on the 8 bit card number, but omit the 0 in front of it.
The output RS232-TTL-ASCII-10 format is the output data is ASCII character format, card number data is 10 bit format, and
same as the ordinary EM card marked on the 10 bit card number, but omit the 0 in front of it.
For example, a 3 byte number of RS232-TTL-HEX format is A83EF6, the actual output is A83EF6, the RS232-TTL-ASCII-8 format
is 168,16118, the actual output is 16816118, the RS232-TTL-ASCII-10 format is 0011026166, the actual output is 11026166.
