3. Precautions
3.1. Essex Electronics keypads & card readers are electronic devices and are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge. Standard precautions should be taken to protect these
devices from electrostatic discharge events.
3.2. Essex Electronics does not manufacture the control panels & power supplies that
may be connected to these keypads & readers. Care should be taken to select
operating characteristics of the external devices before connecting Essex
Electronics manufactured devices. See Essex Electronics warranty policy at;
https://www.keyless.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Warranty.pdf
3.3. Our keypads and readers are only part of an access control system. Essex
Electronics has designed these products to work with most access control systems
& power supplies. The installer is cautioned to avoid operating these devices
outside of the recommended specifications.
3.4. The supplied keypad, the K1-34, is a multi-format keypad that is by default in the
26 bit format. If another format is required see the following paragraphs, and the
supplied instruction sheet for the Multi-Format. The wiring harness & hardware
kit that comes with the keypad is not required for installation on to the reader.
The wiring harness that comes with the reader is used in place of this harness &
hardware kit.
4. Settings
4.1. Select the style of keypad required. Default output of the K1 Series Keypad is 26
bit Wiegand.

4.3.1. When a keypad is installed, (in the 8-bit mode), its’ LEDs may be controlled in
two ways; independently, where grounding the yellow wire will only turn on the
red LED, & grounding the brown wire will only turn on the green LED. Or, with
the jumper installed as shown in figure 2, grounding the brown wire will toggle
the LEDs on the keypad from red to green. Whichever LED is currently
illuminated will blink with every keypress.
4.4. Setting Red LED on/off;

4.4.1. This jumper only is functional for the Wiegand model reader.
4.4.2. The indicated jumper selects whether the reader LED will have the red led on or
off in standby.
4.4.3. Place the jumper from the center to the right to have the LED off in standby, or
place the jumper from the center to the left to have the LED on in standby.
4.5. Setting OSDP RS-485 bus termination resistor;
!
Figure 4 RS-485 Termination Jumper Location.
4.5.1. This jumper is only for the OSDP model reader. The indicated jumper will
terminate the RS-485 bus with a resistor. It is recommended to install this jumper
if the reader is at the end of the RS-485 bus, or otherwise requires this line to be
terminated.

5.1.1. Splice the supplied, 12 inch long, reader harness into the cable connected to the
control panel, using the wiring list above for the signals. It is recommended that
18 awg stranded multi-conductor cable be used to connect the reader to the panel,
at least 6 wires will be required for most panels.
5.1.2. It is suggested that in addition to the standard red, black, white, green, & brown
signals used, but that also tan be connected to the local facility earth connection,
to avoid damaging static discharge events. Optional connections for tamper, 2nd
LED control, & beeper control are at the integrator/installer discretion.
5.1.2.1. For Tamper detection: Connect the blue wire to the control panel to indicate to
the panel that the reader has been removed from its’ mounting. On the back of
the reader, there is an IR sensor with a target mounted opposite to the wall,
within approximately 5mm of the sensor.
5.1.2.2. For 2nd LED Control: Connect gray wire to the control panel 2nd LED control to
indicate amber LEDs as a secondary indication on the reader. This will not
affect any other condition in the reader, other than LED color.
5.1.2.3. For audio control: Connect the violet wire to the control panel audio control or
other output so when this line is grounded the reader audio will sound.
5.1.2.4. Connect the yellow wire, only if an 8-bit keypad is installed, to control the red
LED on the keypad, grounding will illuminate the red LED. In this case the
brown wire will also illuminate the green LED, when grounded. See paragraph
4.2 to toggle these LEDs, rather than control them separately.
5.1.3. The supplied four inch long harness, as well as the keypad mounting hardware,
with the keypad will not be required for this installation.

Page 13 of 15
5.2.1. Illuminated Spy Proof Housing, if equipped;
5.2.1.1. Mark the mounting holes on wall surface, at the suggested mounting height,
using the 0.200” [5.1mm] hole mounting points. Also mark the suggested cut
out opening. This may be a 1” diameter hole, top center, for the connecting
harness.
5.2.1.2. Outline a cable clearance hole, as shown in figure 5 above, & cut a large enough
hole to clear cable connectors & splices to the control panel.
5.2.1.3. If equipped with the optional SH-34W illuminated shroud, connect the two-wire
harness from the reader, terminated in a two-prong Molex style connector to the
illumination light bar harness. These are keyed to fit in only one way.
5.2.1.4. If the reader is being supplied only 5V for its’ operation, the jumper on the
illumination light bar should be removed, or cut.
5.2.1.5. Do not use the threaded inserts for mounting hardware as these are used to
mount the reader to the housing.
5.2.1.6. Use anchor bolts or screws to mount the housing onto the wall or gooseneck.
5.2.2. Reader Housing
5.2.2.1. If the spy proof housing is not required, the reader may be mounted directly to
the wall or j-box using mounting hardware supplied with the reader. There are
also mounting hardware to mount the keypad to the reader, use only hardware
from the reader kit, do not use the keypad supplied hardware.
5.2.2.2. Temporarily connect the keypad to the reader. [Do not install the voltage jumper,
the keypad will operate on +12V normally].
5.2.2.3. Configure the keypad, as desired, as outlined in paragraph 4 above.
5.2.2.4. The reader may now be mounted, optionally, to the shroud, using supplied
hardware, or directly to the J-Box, by screwing the reader housing into threaded
inserts, on the shroud, or alternately directly into the J-Box or wall, using #6-32
screws.
5.2.2.5. The keypad may then be mounted to the reader housing, using supplied
hardware, screw the keypad onto the reader housing. Install the label overlays
onto the keypad & reader.

6. Operation
6.1. Wiegand Mode
6.1.1. The Wiegand data stream to the control panel is automatic, data will be present
after a card is read, and in the case of the 26-bit Wiegand keypad, data will be sent
by the keypad, on “#” press. If an incorrect pin on the keypad is entered, it may
be cleared by pressing “*”, or letting the keypad time out, a single beep, after 10
seconds of inactivity. In the case of the 8-bit keypad is installed, data will be sent
with each keypress.
6.1.2. The LED & beeper controls are asserted when those lines are connected to the
reader circuit ground, the black wire from the reader, or –Vin.
6.1.3. The reader data contains the CSN, or, if enabled, the card data contents.
6.1.4. If the keypad is configured for 26 bit Wiegand output, the keypad data contains
the programmed site or facility code, plus the entered pin number. There are 255
different site codes, & 65535 different pins possible. If the entered pin is greater
than 65535, this will result in all 1s being transferred in place of the pin, (the site
code will remain the same).
6.1.5. If the keypad is configured for 8 bit it will output 8 bit binary data with each
keystroke, the LSB to bit 3 will be the binary number of the key pressed, bits 4 to
MSB will be the complement of that number. If the “*” key is pressed, the data
will be 0x5A & for the “#” key, the data will be 0x4B.
6.1.6. The keypad & reader data conform to the Wiegand open standard H10301, for
timing and format.
6.2. OSDP Mode
6.2.1. The OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) format conforms to version 2.1.5,
as provided by a third party converter module.
6.2.2. The RS-485 bus may be connected to other devices, in a daisy chain. This bus
may be terminated at the reader with a load resistor, see paragraph 4.4 above to
the location of the jumper that will do this.
6.2.3. Communication with the OSDP adapter;
6.2.3.1. Communication speed with this adapter may be changed using the
“osdp_COMSET” command.

RII113-A-201222.docx
Page 15 of 15
6.2.3.2. The adapter may be restored to the factory default settings, including the SCBK,
by issuing the appropriate manufacturer specific commands at power up.
6.2.3.3. The command must be issued by the control panel, by sending “osdp_MFG”
command with the paylod 0xCA446C05 ten times. The adapter will reply with
an “osdp_ACK” until the final command, to which it will reply with an
“osdp_NAK” with a payload 0x09.
