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 : Adding and Removing User Codes
To add or remove entry codes : log on to enter Programming Mode, then follow the appropriate command
sequence detailed on the following page.
a). Entry Codes should not start with numbers 9 or 1.
b). Each entry code recognised by the keypad is stored under a two digit reference known as the Code Index
Number. The code index number allows an authorised holder of the engineer’s code to remove entry codes
by keying in the code index number without having knowledge of the actual entry code. It also means that a
written record of valid code holders can be kept without recording the actual entry codes
c). Prior to operation of a second door, relay 2 must be set for door control see - Controlling a Second Door

Other Features
Connect a Remote Exit / Egress Switch
Making a connection (via a suitable momentary contact switch) between connector terminals 10 and 1
(return) will release (or open) the door lock for a pre-set period of time (the door strike time). This feature can
be used to provide a remote exit facility, allowing personnel to exit from a secure area by pressing a button
located near or adjacent to the door (on the secure side only). [see sections vii) and viii) for information about
setting the door strike time]. Please note, in 2 door operation the connection of a remote egress switch to
control the second door is not possible.
Connect an External Alarm
An alarm bell or klaxon can be activated via connector terminals 6 and 7. When the keypad enters an alarm
state (door forced or operator under duress or anti-tamper), these two terminals will provide an alarm signal
(2 Amps max. at 30 Volts DC). The alarm bell or klaxon should be connected as shown in Electrical & Data
Connections. Please note that the alarm bell or klaxon is not powered from the keypad and so must have an
independent power supply.
An alarm signal can be cancelled by keying in any valid entry code or the engineer’s code. If the cause of the
alarm can be rectified (i.e. The Anti-Tamper switch can be re-closed, or a ‘forced door’ can be closed), then
keying in a valid ‘Entry Code’ will silence and reset the alarm.
If for any reason the cause of the alarm can not be rectified (e.g. The keypad has been forced away from the
wall, or the door has been damaged and can not be closed), then the alarm can be silenced by keying in a
valid ‘Entry Code’ twice (2 times). When the alarms have been silenced in this way, the keypad must be
isolated from the power for a minimum of 3 seconds to reset the alarm feature.
Note if the alarm function is used to indicate operator under duress then the alarm should be discreet, i.e.,
situated in a remote location beyond the audible or visual range of an attacker or intruder. The alarm feature
can be used to interface with a centralised alarm system or to trigger a synthesised or pre-recorded auto dial
telephone message to a chosen monitoring station.
Alternatively, terminals (6 and 7) can be used to control a second door.
Control a Second Door
(one keypad controls access through two doors)
Connector terminals 6 and 7 can be used as
a relay output to control a second door. When
the keypad is used for second door control
the Alarms feature will be disabled.
To configure the keypad for second door control,
‘log on to Programming Mode’, then enter
8 to select Relay 2 Set Function.
Listen for the ‘accept bleep’.
Then enter 1 to configure the relay for
second door control, or enter 0 to re-configure
the relay as an alarm output.

Enable Door Monitoring (Door 1 only)
In its factory fitted format, the door sensor is disabled. This is because the hard wire bridge is connected
between terminals 9 and 1 (0V Return and the Door Sensor).
This disables the door forced alarm feature. To utilise the door sensor, remove the hard wire bridge and
connect the door sensor to terminals 1 and 9.
Activating the ‘Operator Under Duress’ Alarm
The Operator Under Duress Alarm can be activated at any time by prefixing a valid entry code with
the numbers 9 1. Note: if there is any possibility that this feature will be used, any visible or audible alarm
indicators must be located out of audible and visual range of any attacker or intruder.

F.A.Q’s
1/ The door is locked when it should be open and open when it should be locked.
2/ The Keypad appears to have lost it's entry codes
3/ How do I add and delete codes ?
4/. What power supply do I need for a Strikemaster?
5/ I want to fit a separate door bell.
6/ I want to disable the alarm and open the door with a single code can I do this?
7/ There is a continuous clicking noise.
8/ The door opens for too long.
9/ What are the door release relays rated at ?
1/ The door is locked when it should be open and open when it should be locked.
Check the type of lock that is installed. Does it require power to open it or power to lock it? This will
determine which keypad terminals should be connected.
If the lock requires power to open it then the lock should be connected to “zero volts” and “relay 1 Normally
open” ( Terminals 1 and 3 )
If the lock requires power to lock it, i.e. a Magnetic Lock, it should be connected to the “zero volts” and “relay
1 Normally closed” ( Terminals 1 and 5 ).
In both the above cases it is assumed that power is being switched through the relay in which case the “relay
common” should be connected to the “positive power supply” (i.e. 4 and 2 should be
connected.)

2/ The Keypad appears to be have lost its entry codes
The STORM AXS StrikeMaster keypad stores all programmable options in a non-volatile memory location.
This means that all codes and settings programmed into the keypad will be saved even if the power supply is
switched off or there is a power cut.
In certain installations it may appear that the entry codes have been erased, however, it is not the case.
This can occur as a result of electrical noise from a peripheral device (i.e. a noisy electric strike or magnetic
lock). In a very few cases external interference, such as short term interruption to the power supply, could
cause some electronic components to re-set whilst others are still active.
The result is a semi active keypad that does not perform correctly in that the strike time has re-set to zero
seconds and you might assume that the entry code has been erased.
A time of 01 second to 99 seconds can be programmed.
If the above situation is suspected the following routine should be carried out:-
1. Check that all connections to the keypad, power supply and locking device are still secure. Ensure
that the suppresser ( Metal Oxide Varistor "MOV" ) is connected across the lock terminals. Ideally
this should be located as close to the lock as possible.
2. Reset a workable strike time as follows:
Log in by entering the known Engineers Code #XXXXXX
Select door 1 or door 2 by entering - 5 Door 1
6Door2
Enter the required 2 digit Strike Time - eg 05 (5seconds)
Log off by entering - 0
Note: If after this process the Strikemaster is powered down the Strike Time will automatically reset to 5
seconds.
3/. How do I add and delete codes?
To add use Option 1 (to add a code)
Log in by entering the known Engineers Code #XXXXXX
Press 1 to add a code 1
Enter the index number where the code is to be e.g. 12
Choose e.g Door 1 Timed 1
Select the number of digits that will be in the code e.g. 4
Type in the new code e.g. 1234
Log off by entering 0
To delete use Option 2 (to delete a code) in Programming Mode - see Programming Flowchart on the last
page
4/. What power supply do I need for a Strikemaster?
StrikeMaster power supply (11v-28v DC) recommended minimum 12v dc 500mA, preferable 12v dc 640mA.

5/ Fitting a door bell
The STORM AXS Strikemaster Keypad will support a door / call bell. This can be activated by the bottom
left key on the Strikemaster keypad, there is no need to supply and fit a separate bell push button.
The bell connection terminal (No 8) is an open collector gate. The bell should be connected to the
Strikemaster keypad via a relay. The coil on the relay should be connected to the positive supply connection
terminal (No 2) and the bell connection terminal (No 8).
When the bell key is pressed a transistor linked to terminal 8 will be driven low. This will allow current from
the supply to be drawn across the relay's coil which in turn will close the relay in the same way as a
conventional bell push will operate.
Use a latching relay rated to operate at 60mA, up to 12V dc.

6/ I want to both disable the alarm and open the door with a single code can I do
this?
Some applications, such as overnight deliveries to retail establishments, may require the delivery driver to
enter a code that not only allows access to the building but also disables the Alarms that are usually set
during the hours that the shop is closed. The design of the StrikeMaster keypad does not allow the same
entry code to be programmed into door 1 and door 2; (door 1 operation will take priority and door 2 operation
will be ignored.) It is, however, still possible to achieve a solution using the StrikeMaster keypad.
Allocate the driver with an 8 digit number, made up of 2 individual 4 digit entry codes. The first four digits of
the entry code should be programmed as a “Latched” code. The second four digits should be programmed
as a “Timed” code. So when the 8 digit entry code is entered the first 4 digits can disable the alarms and the
second four digits open the door. It will be necessary for the driver to re-enter the 8 digit code after the
delivery is complete to re-set the alarms.
The exact configuration will differ between installations. A typical installation may be as follows:-
First 4 digits of entry code are programmed as “door 1” “latched” with relay 1 connected at the normally
closed output. The second 4 digits of the entry code are programmed as “door 2” “timed”.
So when the 8 digit entry code is entered the first 4 digits will cause relay 1 connections to change to open
circuit, this could be used to switch off the alarms. The second 4 digits will then open the door.
Please note. This configuration may not be suited for applications where the driver may have to enter the
door on more that one occasion. This is because the alarms will toggle on and off each time the 8 digit entry
code is pressed, so there is a danger that either the driver inadvertently sets the alarm whilst in the building
or leaves the building without the alarms set. In such a case it may be better to set the second 4 digits to
latched.
In any configuration the driver should have clear instructions to enter the full 8 digit entry code on entering
and leaving the building.
For additional security a longer entry code could be allocated i.e two individual 5 or 6 digit entry codes
resulting in a 10 or 12 digit entry code for the driver.
7/ There is a continuous clicking noise.
Relay 2 can be configured for alarms output or for second door control. The factory setting for relay 2 is
“Alarms”.
The clicking noise comes from the relay activating the anti-tamper alarm, this is probably because the anti
tamper plate has not been installed. The quickest way to stop this clicking is to re-set relay 2 to second door
control.
Use Option 8 in Programming Mode.
If, however, the alarms feature of the keypad is required, the anti tamper plate should be fitted as shown in
the installation manual.
8/ The door opens for too long.
If after entering your entry code, the door opens but stays open it is likely that the strike (opening) time has
been set too long or the entry code has been programmed as a latching code. To change the strike time use
Option 5 ( Door 1) or Option 6 (Door 2) in Programming Mode
9/ What are the door release relays rated at ?
The two relays are rated at 1.5A continuous operation.
