Description
The VMBKP is a vandal-resistant and weatherproof keypad. It combines a digital keypad and proximity EM card reader in
one unit.
The keypad has been designed for full feature access control in a Velbus home automation system. It features two User
Groups, with up to 1,000 users for User Group 1 and 100 users for User Group 2. Per User Group different actions can
be configured (e.g. controlling different door locks, different time settings, …). Each user can be configured to use either
a code, an EM Card, or a combination of both. See “Security level of the operation media” on p. 13 for more details.
In the Velbus configuration software VelbusLink the keypad appears with two input channels “User group 1” and “User
group 2”, and a “Tamper alarm” channel.
The keypad can accommodate up to 70 program steps to automatically operate, lock and unlock User Group channels,
including day, week and year programs and an astronomical clock (sunrise and sunset times).
The User group channels that appear in VelbusLink will typically be used to activate a magnetic door lock connected to a
Velbus relay. The Tamper channel can control a Velbus relay which in turn is connected to e.g. a siren or the input of an
alarm system.
Apart from simple door opening using User Codes and/or EM Cards, the following advanced features are also available.

Egress button
The Egress button is a button placed inside the building that allows users to open the door from the inside without
entering a code or presenting an EM Card. The Egress button has advanced options like optional delays, beeping sounds
and alarms. For more information, see EG IN (Egress Input)” on p.9 and “Intelligent Egress Button –A unique feature of
the keypad” on p.32.
Visitor codes
Visitor codes are codes that can only be used once, or that expire after a certain time. See “Visitor codes (for user group
channel 1 only) (location 40)” on p.24.
Duress codes
Duress codes are codes that grant access just like normal codes, but that secretly also trigger an alarm. They are
typically used when a user is forced to enter their code. The door opens normally, but unbeknown to the attacker, other
security measures can be taken (e.g. placing an automatic call, arming an alarm system, blocking other entrances, …).
See “DUR O/P (Duress Output)” on p.9 and “Duress codes (for user groups 1 & 2) (locations 41 & 42)” on p.26.
Door sensor
A door sensor (e.g. a magnetic switch) can be connected to the DOOR SENS connector.
This allows for advanced functions like door forced open warning, door propped up warning, and door auto relock. For
more information see “DOOR SENS (Door Position Sensing Input –Normally Closed)” on p.9, “Door forced open warning
(location 80)” on p.31, “Door propped-up warning (location 81)” on p.31 and “Door sens” on p.40.
Tamper alarm
When the keypad’s cover is removed from its base, the Tamper channel becomes “pressed” until the cover is placed
back, and actions can be executed (e.g. locking the keypad, starting a siren, switching on a light, …). These actions are
configured in the configuration software VelbusLink. (See the Velbus Installation Guide Part 2: Configuration on
www.velbus.eu for more information).
Configurable Master Code
The Master Code is the code that needs to be entered in order to configure User codes, Cards, and other settings
explained in the following chapters. The Master Code can be 4 to 8 digits long, and can be chosen by the owner. For
more information, see “Master code (Location 01)” on p.18.
DAP code (Direct Access to Programming)
In case the Master Code would be forgotten, the keypad can be put in programming mode using the DAP code. For
safety reasons, the DAP code only works during the power-up delay (the first minute after power is applied). See “Direct
Access to Programming mode with “DAP” code -- 2 8 2 8” on p.16.
Inhibition
User Groups 1 and 2 can be temporarily locked using Velbus actions and program steps. These are configured in the
VelbusLink software. (See the Velbus Installation Guide Part 2: Configuration on www.velbus.eu for more information).
Apart from this, there is also a hardware connection, O/P 1 INH, that, when closed, inhibits User Group 1. See “O/P 1
INH (User Group 1 Inhibit Control Input –Normally Open)” on p. 9. This hardware inhibition is executed locally in the
keypad and is not communicated to the rest of the Velbus system. It can be controlled by a directly connected button,
alarm system output, etc. The hardware inhibition can be paused or overruled by the Super User codes. See “Super user
code (Location 02)” on p. 18.

Overview of connection terminals
Velbus connections (required) (-, +, L, H)
The connector for the Velbus bus cable. The –and + connections are for the 15±3VDC power supply. The L and H
connections are for the Velbus data communication.
Next to the Velbus connection terminal there is also a Velbus CAN terminator switch, marked “TERM”. According to the
position of the VMBKP in the Velbus installation, this terminator may need to be closed. Please consult the Velbus
Installation Guides on www.velbus.eu for more information on the Velbus system and on the CAN terminators.
Other connections (optional/advanced)
ALM O/P (Alarm Output)
An NPN transistor open collector output with a maximum power rating of 24VDC/100mA sink. It is equivalent to an N.O.
(Normally Open) terminal referring to ground. It is designed for triggering a N.O. protection zone of an alarm system. It
can also be used to drive a low power device, such as a relay or a low power control input for other equipment.
DUR O/P (Duress Output)
An NPN transistor open collector output with a maximum power rating of 24VDC/100mA sink. It is equivalent to an N.O.
(Normally Open) terminal switching to (-) ground after the Duress Code is entered. It can be used e.g. to trigger an alarm
zone of a security system or turn on a buzzer to notify a guard.
O/P 1 INH (User Group 1 Inhibit Control Input –Normally Open)
A Normally Open (N.O.) sensing input point for controlling User group 1. With this terminal connecting to (-) ground, the
Egress Button and the PINs and Cards for User Group 1 are all disabled.
NOTES:
•This inhibit function does not overrule the Duress Codes and the Super User Codes. They are always valid.
•This inhibit function is a hardware feature of the keypad, not to be confused with the VelbusLink “inhibit”
actions. These function independently of each other.
EG IN (Egress Input)
A Normally Open (N.O.) input terminal referring to (-) ground. A normally open button connected to this input can
activate the User Group 1 channel just like using Codes/Cards.
An egress button is usually installed inside the house near the door. More than one egress button can be connected in
parallel to this terminal. Leave this terminal open if not used.
See “Intelligent Egress Button –A unique feature of the keypad” on p.32 for more information about the Egress Button
with programmable features.
(-) GND (Common ground)
A grounding point that is common with the –input of the Velbus bus connection.
DOOR SENS (Door Position Sensing Input –Normally Closed)
A Normally Closed (N.C.) sensing point referring to (-) ground. By connecting a magnetic door sensor to this input, it
monitors the open or closed status of the door. Connect this input with a wire to (-) ground if not used (factory default).

Velbus –Legen Heirweg 33, BE-9890 Gavere, Belgium –tel. [phone] –e-mail: [e-mail] –www.velbus.eu PN-VMBKP-ed1-A4
It can be used for the following functions:
Door Auto Re-lock
The system immediately deactivates the User Group 1 channel when the door is closed again, without waiting for the
end of the programmed duration for User Group 1
1
. This prevents unwanted “tailgate” entry. The Door Auto Re-lock
function is automatically active when a sensor is connected to the DOOR SENS input, no configuration is required.
Door Forced Open Warning
The keypad generates a “door forced open” warning (beeps and closing of the ALM O/P) when the door is forced open
without a valid user Code, Card or egress button push. The warning lasts for the programmed duration (1-999 sec). It
can be stopped with a User Code or card for User Group 1 at any time. See “Door forced open warning (location 80)” on
p.31 for more information.
Door Propped-up Warning
The keypad generates propped-up warning beeps when the door is left open longer than the programmed allowable
delay. The warning will last as long as the door remains open, until it is closed again. See “Door propped-up warning
(location 81)” on p.31 for more information.
INT LOCK
Not applicable.
DATA I/O
Not applicable.
TAMPER N.C. (Tamper Switch Normally Closed Contact)
Reserved by the Velbus system. (This dry contact is closed while the keypad is secured on is box, and open while the
keypad is separated from the box. The corresponding Velbus “tamper alarm” channel is “released” while the keypad is
secure on its box and “pressed” while the keypad is separated from the box.)

The default activation duration is 5s but this can be changed to another value, see “Output mode & Timing for User Group 1 & 2
channels (location 60)” on p.29
