Introduction
Carefree Security self-contained keypads are fully sealed and are ideal for adverse environment conditions due to the
electronics being potted in an epoxy, making the keypad impervious to water and moisture.
Carefree Security keypads are a digital keyless entry system designed for access control applications. The keypad is housed in a
metal powder coated enclosure that can be mounted to a pedestal or directly to a wall. The keypad is available in two versions,
heavy duty metal die cast keyboard or with a heavy duty plastic polymer keyboard. The keyboards have bright, easy to read
graphics. Single or up to 1000 entry codes (PIN) from 2 to 6 digits in length, can be programmed.
Two LED indicators show the status of the keypad system. The red LED indicates power on, green LED indicates access is
granted, yellow program LED light indicates that the keypad is in program mode or in a “lockout” condition. The keypad night
light illuminates the keys to a brighter state for the duration of If wrong number is entered during programming, pressing the *
key will end programming. Entering your code number, an internal sounder beeps when a key is pressed.
