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 five user codes.
System Specifications, cont’d.
Output Capabilities The KE-265 provides two SPDT dry contact relays (rated at 6 amps at 120 VAC). Each relay can be configured to perform one of many different functions depending on the specific 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 configured for one of the following options: 1. Voltage Output – For any Fail Safe or Fail Secure Locking Device 2.
Keypad Options All Essex Keypads are designed to perform reliably in even the most extreme environmental conditions. Operating temperatures can range from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 160°F).
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 floor. 2. The Control Module should be mounted inside the building near a power source. Typically the control module is hidden Typical Installation in a false ceiling or closet.
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.
5. Using the template, verify the hole marked “C” is aligned and then drill hole “C”. 6. Install the metal mounting bracket into hole “C” with the screw provided. 7. Do NOT mount Keypad at this time. 8. Proceed to Install the Wiring Cable. Mounting Instructions 12 Pad 3x4: KP-34S, KP-34B or KP-34K The 3x4 keypad is designed to mount to a single gang switchbox or on a wall, pedestal or any flat surface of at least 3 ½ by 5 ¼”.
1. Select a flat surface (1 ¾” by 7”) near the door where you wish to install the keypad. 2. Using the Thinline template, mark location of holes. 3. Drill the large hole using a 1” (25mm) drill bit. 4. Place the connector on the back of the keypad in the large hole to verify that the mounting holes are aligned. Make adjustments if necessary. 5. Drill mounting holes in accordance with fastening method used. If mounting to wood, drill small pilot holes and use #6 flat head wood screws provided.
Prepare the Door for the Electric Strike Follow these instructions only if you are using an electric strike to unlock the door. If you are using the main relay to activate a garage door, automatic gate, etc., skip this section. The new electric strike should be checked to verify compatibility with existing door hardware prior to installation. 1. Remove existing strike. 2. Follow directions included with the strike for preparing the doorjamb. 3. Do NOT mount the strike at this time.
Connecting the Locking Device Connect the electric locking device to Terminal Strip “B” as outlined in the Typical Wiring Diagram (Appendix B – page 31). Any 3 conductor, 18 gauge wire can be used to connect the Control Module to the Locking Device. Included with each system are two MOV’s (metal oxide varistor). The function of the MOV is to absorb any inductive kickback from the locking device, protecting the circuit board.
System Hardware Setup Remote By-Pass In some cases, it may be necessary to control the door from a remote area such as a security station or reception desk. The KE265 provides for a Remote By-Pass/REX (Exit Switch) or Keypad override. This can be accomplished by connecting a normally open switch to the “REMOTE” screw terminals on the circuit board (Appendix A – page 30).
option to be configured. Placing jumpers across the 1st & 2nd pins, the 2nd & 3rd pins or no pins at all determines how each option is configured. To set an Option for Relay #1 a Place jumper across 2nd & 3rd pins. To set an Option for Relay #2 a Place jumper across 1st & 2nd pins. To set an Option for No Relay a Don’t place jumper across 1st & 2nd or 2nd & 3rd pins. The Factory Default Settings are shown here: 1. All User Unlock Authorization is configured for Relay #1.
Example: 1. Placing a jumper across the 2nd and 3rd pins of the “MASTER UNLOCK” option allows the master code to activate (unlock) Relay #1. 2. Placing a jumper across the 1st and 2nd pins of the “1,2 UNLOCK” option allows User Code 1 and User Code 2 to activate Relay #2. 3. Leaving a jumper off the “3,4,5 UNLOCK” option prevents User Code 3, User Code 4 and User Code 5 from activating either relay.
CCTV/Doorbell Setup Placing jumpers across the 6th or 7th set of pins (CCTV or DOORBELL) determines which relay (if any) will be used to activate a CCTV or Doorbell. CCTV Operation: If either relay is configured to activate a CCTV, any key press on the Keypad triggers a 10 second output. CCTV/Doorbell Setup Doorbell Operation: If either relay is configured to activate a doorbell, pressing * at the Keypad triggers a 1 second output.
3. Placing a jumper across the 1st and 2nd pins of the “3,4,5 UNLOCK” option allows User Code 3, User Code 4 and User Code 5 to activate (unlock) Relay #2 4. In this example, User Code 1 and User Code 2 have also been given Latching Authorization for Relay #1. Note: In order for 2 Door configuration to operate correctly, be sure to remove any jumpers across the CCTV option and the Doorbell option.
System Programming Overview of System Code Programming There are TWO levels of codes for the KE-265 system. 1. The Master Code (used to open the door and for programming User Codes) 2. User Codes (used by personnel to open the door) IMPORTANT: Notes to remember before programming: 1. All codes must be 3 to 8 digits. 2. All codes must be different from each other. Note: 5-Pad Keypads have two digits on each pad. The system reads these numbers as the same. For example: 1-3-5-7-9 is the same as 2-4-6-8-0.
The Master Code can be configured to activate either Relay #1 or Relay #2 depending on how the system hardware is set up (see Setting Relay Options on page 11). However, the Master Code cannot be configured to Latch either relay. Programming the Master Code To Program/Change the Master Code: 1. Select a 3 to 8 digit code that will be used for the Master Code. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ 2. Locate the Control Module, remove the cover and locate the “PROGRAM” switch on the circuit board. 3.
User # User Code 1 User Code 2 User Code 3 User Code 4 User Code 5 a a a a a User Location 1-1-1 1-1-3 1-1-5 1-1-7 1-1-9 Once a User Code has been programmed into a User Location, the User Code can be easily changed or deleted from the system (see Programming User Codes). Latching and User Code Unlocking Authorization is determined by how each relay is configured. (See Setting Relay Options on page 11.) Programming User Codes To Program a New User Code or Change an Existing User Code: 1.
2. Wait five seconds for the 3 reset beeps. (Do not enter any digits until you hear 3 reset beeps.) Programming Door Open Time Default a 5 seconds To Program/Change the Door Open Time for the Master Code and User Code 1 and 2: 1. First determine the length of time you wish to program as the Door Open Time for these users. This is the length of time the door will remain open after a valid Master Code, User Code 1 or User Code 2 has been entered into the system.
door will remain open after a valid User Code 3, User Code 4 or User Code 5 has been entered into the system. Note: For controlling a garage door or electric gate, you will need to set the door open time to 1 second. 2. Locate the Control Module, remove the cover and locate the “PROGRAM” switch on the circuit board. 3. Press the PROGRAM switch once *. (The Keypad will beep rapidly 4 times) 4.
Troubleshooting Overview – The KE-265 Series These are a few troubleshooting suggestions to help assist with any problems you may experience. If the problem continues or is not answered here, please call Essex technical support at (800) KEYLESS or (800) 539-5377. You can also visit Essex anytime at keyless.com or send email to support@keyless.com. I changed or deleted a code, but the old code still unlocks the door. Remember there are a total of 6 User Codes for the KE-265.
If this test does not activate the lock, check the lock wiring (Appendix B – page 31). If your wiring is correct, check the KE-265 relay settings (see Setting Relay Options on page 11). If this test does activate the output (you should hear the relay click and the locking device should unlock), reprogram the Master Code and User Codes. Review Overview of System Code Programming on page 16. Remember that all six codes have to be different from each other.
device and make sure it falls within the system specifications (see Input Requirements on page 2). Blown Fuse - Check the fuse on the circuit board. The purpose is to protect the power supply and circuitry. If your locking device is drawing too much current or there is a short, the fuse will blow. Replace with a 2 amp slo blo only. A spare fuse is provided in the spare parts kit. Although the fuse may appear intact, it is best to check with a voltmeter. Keypad beeps all by itself.
