Key pad
The key pad is an easy way to operate your Egardia alarm system from inside your home. Each
registered user is able to turn the alarm system on or off using his/her valid PIN code. Also, the key
pad allows you to partially activate your alarm system (ON, partially). This is particularly useful for
e.g. safeguarding the downstairs floor while you are sleeping upstairs.
When the button "HELP" is pressed a panic alarm will be triggered and all your registered contact
will instantly receive an alarm message.
In your Egardia account you can enter a PIN code for each authorized user. Via the tab "Alarm
history" you can always see which particular user has turned the alarm system on or off.
Please note! By both burglar alarms and panic alarms the gateway will emit a very constant and
loud audible signal. A panic alarm can only be deactivated by the key pad. Enter a valid PIN code
and press to deactivate the panic alarm.

accessories are being added. The gateway returns to normal operation.
6. Login to your Egardia account and go to the tab "Alarm system". The registered key pad will

Instructions
1. The key pad can be mounted using the Velcro tapes or by using the screws.
2. For mounting with screws:
a. Remove the front caps of the key pad to reveal the mounting holes.
b. Use the 2 mounting holes as a template to mark the drill holes on the wall.
c. Drill the holes and use the plugs for stone or plaster walls.
d. Secure the key pad to the wall using the screws.
e. Replace the protective caps to cover the mounting holes.
STEP 4: CHECK AND TEST
To make sure that the key fob functions correctly it is advisable to test the key pad.
Turn your alarm system on using the key pad. You need to press the keys of the key pad firmly. A
single short beep will confirm that the keys are active. Four beeps indicate that the PIN code has
not been entered correctly. If your alarm system is triggered the key pad has been installed
correctly.
Please note! The key pad incorporates a battery saving function. When a key is pressed the
key pad will be activated for 5 seconds. In the case the key pad is not being used or the
alarm had been successfully turned on or off or the time in between pressing the keys is
longer than 5 seconds the indicator lights will automatically go out to increase battery life.
Congratulations! The installation is complete.
MAINTENANCE
Battery
The key pad is powered by one CR2450 3V 540mAH lithium button cell battery. Depending on use,
the average life of the battery is 2-4 years. The key pad itself will indicate when the battery is low.
When the battery has power left for about one month the orange indicator light flashes every time a
key of the key pad is pressed.
Replacing the battery
1. Ensure that the alarm is turned off.
2. Open the key pad by removing the 3 screws at the back.
3. Remove the old battery. Wait 5 minutes before inserting a new CR2450 3V 540mAH lithium
button cell battery. Ensure that the battery polarization is correct.
4. Close the key pad by replacing the 3 screws at the back.
