Installation
Fixing Instructions (Please read carefully before attempting installation.)
Rear Casing
1. Select a suitable location with a sound flat surface. Using the case as a template, mark the position of the
four fixing holes (A) on the surface.
2. Drill and plug the fixing holes to suit fixing screws (E) as supplied.
3. Locate the anti-tamper switch actuator plate (F) on the rear face of the case in the position as shown. The
fixing screws (E) may be positioned in the case to assist in the accurate location of the plate.
4. Locate the thicker (6mm) sealing gasket (B) on the rear face of the case before positioning the case over
the fixing holes (A).
(Be sure to run the cable through the hole in the gasket prior to securing the case.)
5. Secure the case to the surface using the fixing screws (E) as supplied.
Keypad to Casing
6. When making the electrical connections to the connector block care should be taken not to
damage the thin sealing gasket (C) fixed to the front face of the rear case.
7. Fix the keypad to the rear case using the thread forming
security screws (D) as supplied. (Please ensure the nylon sealing
washers are located beneath the head of the security screws (D).
Please note a special bit is provided for tightening these
screws.
8. Check the installation to ensure gaskets are in
place and compressed evenly around the
perimeter of the case.
Note: On rough or uneven
surfaces it may be
necessary to apply a bead
of silicone sealant around
the inner face of the case at
the point where it meets the
mounting surface. Where this
method of sealing is
necessary the thicker
sealing gasket (B) must not be fitted

Wiring Connections
Note: When making connection to the door strike, select ‘relay normally open’ or
‘relay normally closed’ to suit the intended application and locking mechanism.
Note: To achieve maximum protection against EMC, RFI, or damage from Electro-
static Discharge it is recommended that the keypad casing is earthed (grounded) via
the screw terminal attached to the metal shield on the rear face of the keypad. This
terminal is identified by a symbol. It is recommended that a regulated, fully
isolated power supply is used to power the StrikeMaster keypad.

Operation and Basic Programming
Read this manual carefully before attempting to install, program or operate the STORM AXS Strike Master
Keypad. After installation the Command Summary Chart at the back of this manual can be used as a quick
reference to programming and operating command sequences.
Introduction and Factory Default Settings
Storm AXS Strike Master Keypads provide comprehensive access control for all outdoor and indoor
locations. Door / system status is indicated by a high intensity LED light source and an audible sounder.
Storm AXS Strike Master Keypads are specified to survive in different service environments, ranging from
exposed unsupervised public locations to general service indoor applications. Keypads in the Storm AXS
Strike Master range are dimensionally and electrically interchangeable. This allows users, entering codes at
both outdoor or indoor access points, to establish and maintain familiarity with the keypad features.
Summary of Features
• Up to 50 user programmable entry codes
• Entry Code indexing system provides a
directory of authorised code holders and
permits secure allocation and re-allocation
of entry codes
• 4, 5, or 6 digit entry codes
• One or two door control
• Anti-tamper alarm
• Entry code entered under duress alarm
• Hidden entry code feature
• Forced door alarm
• Timed strike or latching door operation
• Timed lock out for repeated invalid code
input
• Remote exit switch facility
• Fail (open) Fail (closed) option
• All weather resistant

Code Entry Mode
During everyday operation the keypad will be in code entry mode or ‘logged off’. This is also the mode that
the keypad is in when it is first powered up. When the keypad is in code entry mode the LED will light red to
signify that the keypad is waiting for either an entry code or the engineer’s code to be entered.
When entering a code, spurious digits may be entered before and after the valid code to help disguise it from
onlookers or other surveilance (maximum 20 characters to be entered at any one time).
[Care should be taken not to activate the Operator Under Duress alarm by prefixing a valid entry code with
the numbers 9 or 1. [see Activating the Operator Under Duress Alarm].
Entry codes should not begin with the numbers 9 or 1 as this can also lead to non intentional triggering of the
Operator Under Duress Alarm. [see Adding and Removing Codes].
When a valid entry code has been entered the door strike will release for the period of the strike time
[see Setting the Door Strike Time] or latch open, depending on what type of code was entered [see section
Adding and Removing Codes].
The LED will light green to signify that the door lock is in a released (or open) condition.
Programing Mode
To enter programming mode it is required that the operator ‘logs on’ by entering the engineer’s code.
When logging on, the engineer’s code must be preceded by the # key. If the code is correct the LED
will start flashing (red and green alternately) to signify that the operator has logged on and that the keypad is
in programming mode ready to accept commands.
Once in programming mode the operator can set up the keypad. After each segment of a command
sequence is entered the keypad will give a rising tone beep to indicate that it has accepted the data and is
ready for the next segment of the command. If at any stage the keypad gives an error beep (decreasing
pitch) then the data entered is invalid. The keypad will remain in programming mode but you must re-enter
the whole of the command sequence within which the error beep occurred.
For security reasons it is essential that the default engineer’s code is replaced with your own six digit
code. Please ensure a record of the code is kept in a secure place.
The Strikemaster Keypad has a buzzer and LED to provide feedback to the user. These meanings are used
throughout :-
Buzzer : Single Beep Occurs on each key press
Accept Beep Input data has been accepted rising tone
Error Beep Input data has not been accepted decreasing tone
LED Green Unlocked
Red Keypad is in Code Entry Mode, door is locked, active
Flashing Keypad is in Programming Mode
Not illuminated Keypad is powered down, inactive.

Programming : Change or Reset the Engineers Code
If the Engineers Code is known then log on to enter Programming Mode, and enter 4 to select a new code.
Alternatively, if the engineer’s code is not known, power down the keypad for a period of not less than three
seconds. Power up the keypad and within a two minute period enter the Engineer reset code.
Do not enter any other digits before entering this code. The keypad’s LED will then begin flashing to indicate
that the keypad is in programming mode. Enter 4 to select a new engineer’s code;
