indicators and the back-light will activate for a set up period of time (by default - 10 seconds), identied as Back-
light Timeout. During the Back-light Timeout, the Test Time will automatically switch to 2 seconds period allowing
to indicate system alarms, faults and arm/disarm process on the EKB3W keypad. The Back-light timeout will expire
after 10 seconds (by default) of EKB3W idling resulting in return to sleep mode. Meanwhile:
a) if a zone or tamper, which is of the associated EKB3W keypad, is violated, EKB3W will instantly wake up and
initiate the Back-light Timeout. Meanwhile the keypad buzzer will emit short beeps and the LED indicators
will light ON indicating the violated zone or tamper number.
b) if a zone or tamper, which is not of the associated EKB3W keypad, is violated, EKB3W keypad will NOT wake
up and will NOT initiate the Back-light Timeout as well as the buzzer will NOT emit short beeps and the LED
indicators will NOT light ON.
To congure Back-light Timeout and Test Time parameters, please refer to ELDES Conguration Tool software.
NOTE: If you have accidentally typed in an unnecessary character, please press [*] key or wait for 10 seconds until
the keypad buzzer will provide a long beep indicating that the typed in characters have been cleared.
NOTE: To have exit and entry delay indication on the keypad, we highly recommend installing EKB3W near the
designated entrance/exit door and using EKB3W zone for wired magnetic door contact connection.
3.3.2. How to congure and control the system by EKB3W
The system conguration and control by EKB3W keypad is carried out by entering a valid conguration command
using the number keys [0]... [9], [#] key for conrmation and [*] key to clear the characters that have been en-
tered. Alternatively, the user can wait for 10 seconds until the keypad buzzer will provide a long beep indicating
that the entered characters have been cleared. When typing in the characters, the indication of each pressed
key is provided by short beep of keypad buzzer. Additionally, the red indicators light up when the number keys
[0]... [9] are being pressed. Some commands require [BYPS], [CODE] and [STAY] keys as well. The structure of a
standard conguration command is a combination of digits. The variables are provided in lower-case letters, while
a valid parameter value range is provided in brackets.
