1.2. Assigning the Keypad to the Controller
The Keypad can only communicate to the Controller if they both have the same
ID number. Each Keypad and Controller comes with 8-position rotary switch,
which is used to set this ID number. Multiple Controllers could be programmed to
respond to the same Keypad or multiple Keypads could be used to send com-
mands to the same Controller (their ID settings should be the same). When a
Keypad and Controller are shipped from the factory, they all have ID number set
to ‘2’ so every Keypad can communicate with every Controller. The installer
needs to change this only if multiple Controllers and Keypads interfere with each
other.
Rotary Switch found on the back of the Wireless Keypad and the Controller.
2. Installation
2.1. Check List Before Installation
• Rotary Switch Settings are the same on the keypad and controller.
(See Back View of Controller pg. 10 and Keypad pg.11)
• Detection Field is set up to desired range. (See Back View of Controller pg.10)
• Verify communication distance between keypad and controller.

ner.
(See Back View of Keypad pg.11)
2.2. Controller
The best position for the Controller to be installed is above the door (best field
coverage). A wall mounting bracket is supplied. The controller is attached to the
wall bracket by two 6-32 Torx head machine screws. Remove the screws and
mount the bracket using suitable wall mount hardware. Locate the controller at
least 18” away from any metal objects that may cause interference to the inter-
nal transmit & receive antenna in the controller.
