The Craftsman Model 139.53684 Security+ Keyless Entry is a device designed to provide secure and convenient access to a garage, operating in conjunction with any Security+ compatible garage door opener receiver.

Function Description:

The primary function of this keyless entry system is to activate a garage door opener using a personalized 4-digit password. This password, which can be any combination of numbers from 0 to 9 (allowing for repeated digits), offers up to 10,000 possible combinations, ensuring a high level of security. The system employs a rolling code technology, meaning that while the user's password remains constant until changed, the actual code transmitted between the Keyless Entry and the receiver changes with each use. This random access to over 100 billion new codes significantly enhances security by preventing code interception and duplication.

In addition to the personal entry password, the device supports a temporary password feature. This is particularly useful for granting temporary access to visitors or service personnel without compromising the main personal password. The temporary password can be programmed to expire after a specified number of hours (up to 255) or a specified number of entries (up to 255). Once expired, the temporary password will no longer open the door, though it can still be used to close the door if it was opened using that temporary code. This flexibility allows for controlled and time-limited access.

Operation is straightforward: the opener activates when the 4-digit password and the "Enter" button are pressed. If incorrect numbers are accidentally pressed, the user can correct them immediately, as the "Enter" button will only transmit the last four digits entered. After a password is transmitted, the keypad will blink for 15 seconds. During this interval, the "Enter" button can be used to stop or reverse the door's travel, providing an additional layer of control.

For openers equipped with premium door controls that feature a "Lock" function, this keyless entry system is designed to bypass the lock. While the "Lock" feature prevents operation from portable transmitters, the Keyless Entry, along with the wired door control push button, will still be able to open and close the door.

Important Technical Specifications:

The device is compatible with any Security+ garage door opener receiver. It uses a 9-volt battery for power, which is expected to last for at least one year. The keypad illumination dims when the battery needs replacement. The system's rolling code technology utilizes over 100 billion new codes, ensuring robust security against unauthorized access. The temporary password feature allows for programming up to 255 hours or 255 entries.

Usage Features:

Personalized Password: Users can choose a 4-digit password from up to 10,000 combinations. The password can be easily changed as desired.
Temporary Password: This feature allows for the creation of a temporary 4-digit password for visitors or service personnel. It can be limited by a programmable number of hours or entries, offering controlled access.
Rolling Code Technology: Enhances security by changing the transmission code with each use, preventing code duplication.
Error Correction: Allows immediate correction of accidentally pressed wrong numbers before transmission.
Stop/Reverse Function: The "Enter" button can stop or reverse door travel for 15 seconds after a password transmission.
Bypass Lock Feature: Operates even when the opener's "Lock" function is engaged, providing consistent access.
Installation Flexibility: Recommended mounting locations are on the exterior front wall for both sectional and one-piece doors, or on the door jamb edge for one-piece doors to avoid interference with the door's swing. The keypad must always be installed within sight of the door.
Battery Life Indicator: Keypad illumination dims when the 9-volt battery needs replacement.

Maintenance Features:

Battery Replacement: The device uses a standard 9-volt battery, which is easily accessible by opening the keypad and removing the battery compartment screw and cover. Replacement is recommended when keypad illumination becomes dim, typically after about one year of use.
FCC Compliance: The device is designed to comply with FCC rules. Users are prohibited from adjusting or modifying the receiver and/or transmitter, except for changing the password setting and replacing the transmitter battery. There are no other user-serviceable parts.
Parts Ordering: Replacement parts such as the keypad cover (31D431), battery (10A2), and battery cover (131B430) can be ordered by calling a dedicated customer service line (1-800-366-PART) and providing product type, model number, part number, and part description.

Safety Warnings:

The manual emphasizes critical safety warnings:

Children should not operate or play with the garage door opener, as it can cause serious injury or death. Wall push buttons and remote controls should not be operated by children.
A moving garage door can cause injury or death. The opener should only be activated when the door is clearly visible, free of obstructions, and properly adjusted.

The Craftsman Keyless Entry provides a secure, convenient, and user-friendly solution for garage access, incorporating advanced security features and practical usage options for homeowners.
