Introduction
Overview – The KE-265 Series
The KE-265 is an easy to program, easy to use, stand-alone
Keyless Entry® system with features suitable for basic access
control requirements. Providing either a voltage output or dry contact
closure, the KE-265 is designed to control any fail-safe or fail-secure
electric locking device.
The KE-265 features one master code and ve user codes. Two
relay outputs are available to provide a variety of access control
congurations including single door operation with an auxiliary
output for a CCTV/Light Controller, a Gate/Garage Door controller
or Doorbell activation or the KE-265 can be congured for two door
operation.
Input Requirements: 12 to 24VAC/DC
Standby Current Draw: 12V a10 mA
24V a25 mA
Outputs: 2 SPDT Relay contacts at 6 amps
(120VAC); Voltage or Dry Contact;
Fail Safe or Fail Secure Relay
Conguration
Programmable Output 1 to 120 seconds
(Door Open Time): Default a5 seconds
Latching: Manual (Toggle On/Off)
# of User Codes: 6 Codes (1 Master, 5 User)
Code Length: 3 to 8 Digits

 System Specications, cont’d.
Input Requirements
The KE-265 accepts 12 to 24 volts AC/DC. System current draw
(maximum):
Standby: 10mA at 12 volts, 25mA at 24 volts
During Operation: .25 amps max (with illuminated Keypad)
IMPORTANT: The maximum current draw allowed is 1 amp. Check
the specications of your locking device. Make sure that the locking
device and the KE-265 (.25 amps) combined draw less than 1
amp. For locking devices that draw more current, a separate power
supply is required. (Appendix B – page 31.)
Note: If connecting DC, make the connections to “DC IN/OUT”
instead of “12-24V AC/DC IN” (see Circuit Board Layout on page
30). Make sure the polarity is correct.

 Output Capabilities
The KE-265 provides two SPDT dry contact relays (rated at 6
amps at 120 VAC). Each relay can be congured to perform one of
many different functions depending on the specic access control
requirement. User Authorization to control each relay is determined
by Setting Relay Options (see System Hardware Setup on page 11).
Each relay can be congured for one of the following options:
1. Voltage Output – For any Fail Safe or Fail Secure Locking Device
2. Dry Contact Output – For control of Gate Operator or Garage
Door.
3. CCTV or Light Controller – First key press triggers a 10 second
output.
4. Doorbell – Press * at the Keypad to trigger a 1 second output for
a doorbell (not included). This function is only available with a 12
Pad 3x4 or Thinline 2x6.
5. Auxiliary Output – Momentary or Manual Control of an electronic
device.

most extreme environmental conditions. Operating temperatures
can range from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 160°F). The KE-265 is
compatible with any of the following Keypad styles/congurations:

Preparing For Installation
System Components
There are four primary components
to be installed:
1. The Keypad should be mounted
on the wall adjacent to the door.
It should be on the same side as
the door strike and about 4 feet
above the oor.
2. The Control Module should be
mounted inside the building
near a power source. Typically
the control module is hidden
in a false ceiling or closet. The
control module must be located in an environmentally controlled
area where the temperature remains between -40°C and +49°C
(-40° F and 125° F).
3. The Wiring Cable connects the keypad to the control module. It
is important not to locate the cable adjacent to any wiring that
carries line voltage. Included with the system is a 15-foot CL2
12 conductor jacketed wiring cable of which only 11 wires are
used. If the Control Module must be located further than 15 feet
from the Keypad, additional cable may be spliced. The maximum
distance between the Keypad and the Control Module must not
exceed 1,000 feet. For runs over 200 feet, 18 gauge wire should
be used. Under 200 feet, 20 gauge is acceptable.
4. The Electric Strike/Other Locking Device (not included) connects
to the KE-265’s Main Relay output via a strike cable. (Appendix
B – Typical Wiring Diagrams – page 31.)

The Installation Procedure
 Required Tools
You will need the following tools:
Medium-size, Phillips head screwdriver
1/8” standard screwdriver
Drill
7/8” or 1” (25mm) drill bit
1/2” (16mm) drill bit
5/32” (4mm) drill bit (For 12-Pad 3x4)
3/16” (6mm) drill bit (For 5-Pads & Thinline 2x6)
 Prepare the Keypad for Installation
There are different procedures for mounting each Keypad. Locate
the Keypad part number on the back of the Keypad and follow
appropriate mounting instructions below. Keypad templates are
included with each Keypad (except KP-34’s) to assist with the
installation.
Mounting Instructions 5 Pad Non Illuminated: KP-5S and KP-
5SL
1. Select at mounting surface 3” X 7”.
2. Use “Template A” (included with the Keypad) to mark locations of
holes A, B, and C.
3. Locate and drill the large hole marked “A”. Hole must be at least
7/8” (22mm) diameter.
4. Hold the Keypad against the wall with the connector through hole
“A”. Check markings for hole “B”. Re-mark if required. If using
plastic anchors, drill hole “B” using 3/16” (6mm) bit. NOTE: Plastic
anchors are provided for some mounting applications. If anchors
are not used, holes “B” and “C” must be smaller than 3/16”.
