Introduction Input Requirements Overview 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.
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).
The Installation Procedure Required Tools You will need the following tools: • Medium sized, 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.
Install the Wiring Cable 1. Drill a ½” hole in the inside wall or ceiling where you want the cable to come through. 2. Pull the cable through the hole so the connector end goes to the keypad. Route it so there is minimal cable at the keypad. Note: Supplied with the system is a 12-conductor cable designed to connect the keypad to the control module. You will also need a three-conductor cable (not included) to connect the control module to the electric strike or other locking device. Mount the Keypad 1.
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 KE-265 provides for a Remote By-Pass (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 23).
Latching Authorization Placing jumpers across the 4th and 5th set of pins (1,2 LATCH or 3,4,5 LATCH) determines which relay (if any) each User Group is authorized to manually latch. Ex: Latching Authorization How to Latch When a valid code is entered on the keypad followed by “7”, the Latch Authorization relay for that particular User Group will energize and remain energized until a valid code followed by “7” is entered again. Example: 1.
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. 3.
Programming User Codes To Program a New User Code or Change an Existing User Code: 1. Choose a new 3 to 8 digit code that will be used for this User Code. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ 2. Decide which User Location to place this User Code (see Overview of User Codes) 3. Enter the Master Code, followed by the User Location (you will hear three rapid beeps) and immediately enter the new User Code.
Troubleshooting 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 Î (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 KE265. Make sure you changed the desired code.
Keypad beeps all by itself Constant Beeping - If the beep is consistently every 5 seconds, put a .1uf 16v (or higher) ceramic capacitor across wires 3 & 10 (black, violet) on terminal strip “A”. Random Beeping - Check for bad circuit ground going to the keypad. Is the black wire from the wiring cable securely fastened to screw #3 on Terminal A? Check for bent pins on the back of the keypad. Also check EARTH ground.
Upon receipt of such notification, Essex Electronics, Incorporated will determine whether to repair or replace. We also reserve the right to have our representative make any inspection or repairs, or furnish replacements.
Appendix B- Typical Wiring Diagrams Notes Note: Some low current strikes or relays will cause relay chatter due to inductive kickback. Attach MOV across strike or relay to eliminate chatter.
