2 Safety Warnings
This device is intended to be used as part of a safety system which may be used to protect personnel
and equipment from possible injury, damage, or loss.
As such it must be installed and wired according to these instructions and tested by suitably qualified
persons. No attempt may be made to tamper with the parts, open them, or use them outside of the
parameters contained herein.
The units are only designed to be fixed to surfaces using their inbuilt fixing holes. They must not come
into contact with each other or any other moving part when in use. The parts should never be subject
to impact or mechanical strain.
Safety switches should never be defeated or bypassed. It is imperative that all steps are taken to
ensure that any spare actuators are made unavailable, such that they cannot be used to defeat the
switch or reduce the protection offered by the system in any way.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 5 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
3 Concept
The ICS-KP14 Keypad is intended to be used in conjunction with Lasermet’s Laser Interlock systems
for the purpose of inhibiting access to a hazardous area to unauthorised persons. Normally this means
persons without the necessary training and personal protective equipment for the area concerned.
The keypad is sited outside a door which is electrically locked and monitored by the interlock system.
The keypad is not intended to be used as part of a security system.
The keypad has two timers which may be programmed to activate for a defined time interval when
the correct 4-digit user code is entered. When wired into a Lasermet interlock system, one output is
used to unlock the door and one to activate the override function to allow the door to be opened
without tripping out the laser.
The keypad may either be wired to the interlock control panel to override all the door switches, or to
the contacts of the adjacent door such that only one door is defeated. It is possible to program the
keypad to disable either of the timer outputs. This may be used for example where the door is not
fitted with an electric lock, in which case the door lock function would be disabled.
The override timer function is of a dual-channel cross-checked configuration and is designed to
achieve a safety performance level of PL ‘e’ to EN13849 when correctly wired to a suitable interlock
system.
Lasermet provides a full range of laser interlock equipment including control systems, interlock
switches, illuminated warning signs, laser shutters, door locks, external power supplies etc. which can
be connected to provide a complete laser interlock system. Full support, design and installation is
available from Lasermet, please contact us for any queries. Contact details are given at the end of this
manual.
3.1 Configuration Options
The ICS-KP14 Keypad has two outputs which activate for a set time when the correct 4-digit user code
is entered: the Override output and the Door Unlock output. Each output illuminates a corresponding
indication on the keypad when activated.
Each output may be independently programmed to activate for a set time between 1 and 30 seconds
when the correct code is entered on the keypad. An output is disabled by programming it to operate
for 0 seconds.
For laser interlock systems in which the entry door is electrically locked, e.g. by a maglock, the Door
Unlock output should be used to release the door, and the Door Unlock time should be programmed
for the required door lock release time.
If there is no electric lock on the door, the Door Unlock output is not used and the Door Unlock time
should be set to 0 to disable the indication on the keypad.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 6 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
The entry door will normally be fitted with an interlock switch that indicates to the interlock control
system that the door has been opened and this will cause the laser to be disabled. The Override output
should be used when it is desired to be able to open the entry door without disabling the laser. The
Override time should be set to the shortest reasonable time required for the door to be opened and
then closed again.
If it is desired to be able to release the door lock only i.e. the laser will be disabled by the door contact
when the door opens, the Override output can be disabled by setting the time duration to 0.
The ICS-KP14 has a remote activation input which may be wired to a separate pushbutton switch. This
is usually provided on the inside of the controlled door and allows persons to leave the controlled area
without disabling the laser. When the button is pressed, the keypad performs the same functions as
if the user code had been entered.
4 Installation
The ICS-KP14 is designed to be permanently attached to a wall or other fixed vertical surface.
The ICS-KP14 should be mounted in a convenient position for use and wiring. Normally it is located on
the outside (‘safe’) side of the entry door of the controlled area, on the wall adjacent to the door
handle, approximately 1.2m up from floor level.
During installation, wired connections will need to be made from the ICS-KP14 to the Interlock Control
System and possibly the door interlock switch and magnetic door lock, and allowance should be made
for the installation of electrical conduit or trunking if required to make entry to the unit.
Ideally the keypad should be attached directly to the wall with the cables being fed from within the
wall. For hollow walls this should be straightforward. For solid walls it may be easiest and neatest to
feed the cables right through the wall from the other side.
Alternatively, the keypad may be attached to a round conduit box which may be buried or surface-
mounted, though this last option will result in the unit projecting further from the wall, making it less
stable and more vulnerable.
It is recommended that the centre of mounting is at least 100mm horizontally from the door
surround/architrave and at least 150mm from the edge of the door. There must be a flat unobstructed
area of wall extending at least 70mm above and 110mm below the mounting centre to allow fitment
and removal.
If a Lasermet Miniature Warning Sign is being fitted above the keypad the centres should be at least
140mm apart vertically.
Refer to the diagram below for details of the fixing holes and cable entry. The rear cover is secured
using preferably four screws on a 35.4mm square around the cable entry point. The rear cover may
be used as a marking template. If using a round BESA conduit box, the holes will align with the cover
fixing holes.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 7 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
Once all the holes have been made, secure the rear cover as shown in the diagram below.
Feed the cables through the hole in the centre of the rear cover.
Make the electrical connections before attaching the unit to the rear cover, see the Wiring section.
Figure 1. Wall Drilling Details

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 8 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
5 Wiring
The keypad is powered by 24VDC. A four-way plug-in terminal block J8 is provided for the control and
power connections, and it is usually easiest to unplug the terminals while making the connections.
Figure 2. Terminal Identification
The power supply is connected with the positive to the +24V terminal and the negative to the GND
terminal.
The REM input can be connected to a separate pushbutton switch to activate the keypad remotely.
When the button is pressed, the keypad activates its outputs according to the programmed settings
as though the correct code had been entered on the keypad. The pushbutton is wired between the
REM and +24V terminals. If this function is not required, simply make no connection to the REM
terminal.
The O/R terminal is the override output. The keypad connects this terminal to +24V while the override
is active.
Terminal Block J6 provides two isolated volt-free contacts which close when the override timer is
active. Terminal block J5 provides two isolated volt-free changeover contacts which operate when the
lock timer is active.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 9 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
5.1 Connecting to Lasermet ICS Control Panels
The ICS-KP14 may be connected such that it either overrides the individual door to which it is
associated (local override), or to override all doors in the system (global override).
Connecting to ICS-6, overriding only the associated door
Three of the screw terminals of J8 inside the keypad: +24V, O/R and 0V are wired directly to the
corresponding terminals of J7 inside the ICS-6 using suitable copper low-voltage cable. The O/R
connection allows the ICS-6 to signal an override when the keypad is operated.
The jumper link J6 ‘OVERRIDE CONTROL’ is removed so that the ICS-6 only indicates that an override
is active but isn’t actually overridden itself.
The two override output contacts A and B on J6 in the keypad are wired across the two safety contacts
of the door switch. This is the contact which is closed when the door is closed. When the override is
activated the keypad override contacts will maintain the safety circuit when the door contacts open.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the plug-in jumper link J6 ‘OVERRIDE CONTROL’ on the ICS-6 Main Circuit Board is removed
(set open) so that the keypad can activate the override indications in the ICS-6 without actually
overriding it. If this link is left closed all the other doors in the system will be overridden at the same
time.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 10 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
Connecting to ICS-6, overriding all doors
Connections are made inside the keypad to produce a dual channel override signal to the ICS-6, as
follows:
Two of the screw terminals labelled +24V and 0V on J7 inside the ICS-6 should be wired directly to the
corresponding terminals of J8 inside the keypad using suitable copper low-voltage cable. The jumper
link J6 ‘OVERRIDE CONTROL’ may be left open or closed.
Then a jumper wire is put inside the keypad from J8 +24V to one of the A terminals of J6, and another
jumper from J8 GND to one of the B terminals of J6. The other ‘A’ terminal of J6 goes to the ‘OR A’
terminal of J7 inside the ICS-6, and the other ‘B’ terminal of J6 goes to the ‘OR B’ terminal of J7 inside
the ICS-6. Make sure the connections are not transposed- the OR A terminal of J7 in the ICS-6 must be
fed through the A terminals of J6 in the keypad and thence to +24V, and the OR B terminal through
the ‘B’ terminals of J6 to 0V (GND).
5.2 Internal Door Release
It is usual to provide an internal door release pushbutton to allow persons within the controlled area
to exit the area without tripping the laser. The pushbutton should be equipped with a contact which
closes when the button is pressed (NO). The pushbutton is connected across the +24V and REM
terminals of J8 inside the keypad.
When the Push-to-Exit button is pressed the
keypad will operate in exactly the same way as
it does when a valid code is keyed.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 11 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
5.3 Connecting to Door Lock
The ICS-KP14 has two isolated volt-free changeover contacts which may be used to release electric
door locks. The contacts are rated at 6A resistive load. Each contact is normally sufficient for two
magnetic door locks. Note that magnetic door locks must be fitted with suppression diodes and must
be connected the right way round. Magnetic door locks supplied by Lasermet have the diode built in.
The contacts are available on the terminals labelled COM, NO, NC on terminal block J5 inside the
keypad. This terminal block is fixed to the circuit board and does not unplug.
Usually only one contact is needed. The positive feed to the door lock should be connected to one of
the COM terminals on J5, and the adjacent NC terminal should then go to the positive connection of
the lock, see below. This will enable the keypad to break the circuit to the lock thus releasing it. For
safety reasons emergency break glass buttons should be provided on both sides of the door to allow
it to be unlocked in the event of an emergency.
Refer to the ICS Manual for more information on wiring door locks to the system.
If no lock is provided this part of the circuit may be omitted, and the keypad should be programmed
not to activate the door relay and ‘Door Unlocked’ indication as described later in this manual.
5.4 Connecting two or more Keypads to one ICS
If it is desired to be able to access the controlled area through more than one door while the laser is
on, additional keypads may be connected as required.
To do this, wire each keypad according to the appropriate wiring diagram above. At the keypad
connector in the ICS, connect all the incoming keypad wires together into the same terminals.

6 Fixing
6.1 Attaching the Keypad to the Backplate
Once all the wiring connections have been made, attach the
keypad to the backplate by hooking the top of the keypad
onto the backplate and swinging the bottom against the wall.
Press the keypad firmly until it clicks into place.
6.2 Removing the Keypad from the Wall
Once the keypad has been locked to the wall, a 5mm flat
screwdriver is required to release the locking latch before
it can be removed as shown below.
Ensure that the supply is turned off.
Insert the screwdriver into the recess in the bottom of the
keypad at the back and push the latch upwards to
disengage it from the case. Note that the latch is quite
secure, and some force may be needed before it releases.
When the latch is released it will be possible to tilt the
bottom of the keypad forwards and then lift it off the
backplate.
Use a 3mm flat screwdriver to disconnect the wires from
the terminals.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 13 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
7 Programming
The keypad should be programmed before use to set the desired operating times and the codes for
programming and entry.
Ensure the keypad power is on (blue PWR indicator lit).
To put the keypad into program mode, type the following:
Note that ‘1234’ is the factory default program code. This may have been changed following
installation.
The yellow PRG light will flash slowly to indicate the keypad is in program mode.
Now select one of the following choices by pressing the appropriate key on the keypad:
Change User Code
Change Program Code
Change Override Time
Change Door Unlocked Time
Enter Test Mode
Exit and return to normal operation
1 Change User Code, 2 Change Program Code
When you have selected one of these, the PRG light will flash quickly to show that the keypad is ready
to accept the new code. Type in the new four-digit numerical code, followed by #. The code will be
stored by the keypad, and it will return to the Program Mode menu above, with the PRG light flashing
slowly, ready for the next choice.
Note that if you change the program code, you will need to enter the new code in place of 1234 shown
above to enter program mode next time.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 14 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
3 Change Override Time, 4 Change Door Unlocked Time
The factory default times for Door Unlocked and Override are 5 seconds and 15 seconds respectively,
and these will probably be suitable for most locations.
The override time should be set long enough for the user to open the door, enter the room and then
close the door. If this time is too short, the laser may become tripped out before the door is closed. If
this time is longer than necessary, the protection offered by the interlock system is diminished. The
Override time can be altered using option 3.
In general, the Door Unlocked time should be quite short, enough for the user to open the door but
short enough that the door becomes relocked as soon as it closes. The Door Unlocked time can be
altered using option 4.
When you have selected one option 3 or 4, the PRG light will flash quickly to show that the keypad is
ready to accept the new activation time for the selected output. Type in the desired time in seconds
in the range 1 – 30, followed by #. The time will be stored by the keypad and it will return to the
Program Mode menu above, with the PRG light flashing slowly, ready for the next choice.
If you wish to disable the selected output, for example to disable the Door Unlock output because
there is no door lock, simply program the selected time to 0 seconds.
If you make an invalid entry, e.g. by entering a time greater than 30 seconds, the keypad will return
to the Program Mode menu with the PRG LED flashing slowly and the time value will not be changed.
5 Enter Test Mode
Selecting this option causes the keypad to run its built-in test function. Once 5 has been pressed, the
PRG light will flash quickly to show that the keypad is ready to begin the test. Press all the keys once
in the following order:
If all is well the Door output will activate for the programmed time period (unless the time has been
set to 0), and the Override output will operate. The test verifies that both the normal and backup
override timers are working, so the user should check that the override indication on the ICS panel
ceases within 50 seconds and the Override indication on the keypad is extinguished after 60 seconds.
If the ICS panel override indication ceases at the same time as the override indicator on the keypad,
this should be considered a fault and the keypad may be defective.
Once the test function has completed, the keypad will return to the Program Mode menu above, with
the PRG light flashing slowly, ready for the next choice.
# Exit and return to normal operation
Once you have finished programming and testing, press to return to normal operation.

8 LED Indicators
PWR
The ‘PWR’ LED is illuminated when the keypad has power.
PRG
The ‘PRG’ LED will light or flash yellow when the keypad is being programmed.
'DOOR UNLOCKED'
This message illuminates green in the upper black panel when the correct user code has been
entered and the Door Unlock output is active. The keypad has an audible alarm which sounds while
the door is unlocked.
'OVERRIDE ON'
This message appears in red in the lower black panel when the correct user code has been entered
and warns that the interlock is temporarily defeated, allowing the door to be opened without
tripping out the laser.
Sounder
An internal sounder will beep to confirm each key press.
It produces a rapid pulsing tone when the Door Unlocked output is active.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 16 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
9 Operation
The ICS-KP14 is operational when the PWR light is on. For most installations this is either when the ICS
mains switch is turned on or when it is armed.
The User Code should only be known to persons with the required training and personal protective
equipment who are authorised to enter the controlled area with the laser activated.
To activate the system override and unlock the door, type in the four-digit user code.
The factory default user code is:
Preferably the user code should have been reprogrammed to some new four-digit code, see
Programming.
When the correct user code has been entered, the Override On and, if programmed, the Door
Unlocked indicators will light, allowing the door to be opened without tripping out the laser.
A continuous sound will be made by the ICS to indicate that the system is overridden. A rapid pulsed
sound will be made by the keypad to indicate that the door is unlocked.
After a few seconds the Door Unlocked output will cease so that when the door closes it will become
locked.
After a few more seconds the override will cease. If the door is still open when the override stops, the
ICS will disable the laser.
An internal door release pushbutton may have been installed. If this is the case, pressing this will cause
the keypad to activate the override and unlock the door in the same way it would if the user code had
been entered.
9.1 Default Settings
The factory settings are:
Program Code: 1234
User Code: 3333
Door Unlocked Time: 5 seconds
Override Time: 15 seconds
In the event of the Program Code being forgotten, it may be reset back to the factory setting as follows:
Switch off the ICS or power supply to the keypad.
Release the keypad from the wall, see ‘Removing the Keypad from the Wall’. The wiring may remain
in place.

ICS-KP14 Instruction Manual
01850-53-000 Page 17 of 18 Issue 3 19 January 2021
Fit a shorting link or otherwise apply a connection across the two-pin header J3, refer to the diagram
in the Wiring section.
Switch on the power to the keypad for five seconds, then switch off. Note that for newer ICS control
panels such as the ICS-6, the system will need to be armed to turn on the keypad power.
Remove the connection across J3.
Refit the keypad to the wall, see ‘Attaching the Keypad to the Backplate’.
Switch on the power to the keypad. The Program Code is now reset to the factory default value of
1234.
