Voltage Selection
The factory default setting for the Keypad voltage is 12-24VDC.
Verify that the jumper is removed or placed over only one pin. For
5VDC, the jumper should be placed across both pins. If changing
the voltage is necessary, make sure the power is removed rst.

Once the voltage jumper is veried or correctly set (see above):
1. Remove power.
2. Jumper the two pins above the connector labeled “CONFIG.”
3. Apply appropriate power. (You should hear 4 beeps and the
RED LED will ash and the GREEN LED will be solid).
4. Now that the Keypad is in conguration mode, select the de-
sired output by entering the conguration number followed by #.

You should hear 3 beeps indicating successful conguration
(the RED LED will continue to ash and the GREEN LED will be
solid). If you hear a long error beep, re-enter the conguration
number followed by #.
5. Remove power.
6. Remove conguration jumper.
7. Re-apply power.
: Once the conguration is selected, you must re-
move power, remove the conguration jumper and then re-apply
power in order to complete the conguration procedure. Note: If
the conguration jumper is not removed, the LED’s will ash and
the Keypad will beep continuously.
Keypad Reset
In certain cases you may want to erase all user codes and restore
system defaults. To perform this procedure:


Essex Electronics, Inc. | 805.684.7601 | 800.KEY-LESS | fax [phone] | keyless.com
CAUTION: This procedure completely erases the memory and
restores factory defaults!!! Once the memory is cleared, all pro-
grammed User Codes are erased and factory default settings are
restored.
1. Remove power.
2. Jumper the two pins above the connector labeled “CONFIG.”
3. Apply appropriate power. (You should hear 4 beeps and the
RED LED will ash and the GREEN LED will be solid).
4. Once the Keypad is in conguration mode, enter 0099#. The
Keypad will beep twice and both LEDs will ash for approxi-
mately 10 seconds. (During this time, the Keypad will appear
dead. Do NOT remove power!!!)
5. Wait and you will hear 4 beeps and the RED LED will ash and
the GREEN LED will be solid.
6. Enter the conguration number followed by #.

Programming Overview
There are two programming commands used with the SKE 12-Pad
Self-Contained Keyless Entry® System.
*3 is the Programming System Setup (page 12).This programming
command allows the programming of the Master Code, setting the
main relay opening time, allows latching (toggling) of the main relay,
etc.
*1 is the Programming Command for programming user codes
(page 18). When programming the user codes, you have the ability
to assign users authorizations. You can authorize a user to latch (if
the system was set up to latch in the *3 programming sequence),
you can allow a user to program or delete codes or activate one of
the other outputs, etc.
The SKE-12 Pad is congured at the factory. Under normal
installation, there is no need to Congure or Reset the keypad
unless the Beeper needs to be quieter or the Illumination needs to
be activated on the SKE-26 only.
The Default Master Code is: 1 2 3
The Relay On Time is: 5 sec
