Testing the Keypad
1. Test the display by applying power to the keypad. The default date
and time should appear on the display after power is applied. The
controller updates the date and time to the remote keypad once
a minute. The date and time on the display should update if the
remote is congured correctly. To verify that the backlight is working,
press the * key. The backlight should come on and the display
will read Please Enter Access Code. If no keys are pressed for 10
seconds, the display will return to the Date/Time and the backlight
will shut off.
2. To test touchpad operation, press the * key. When the display
shows Please Enter Access Code, press 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
You should see each digit appear on the display as it is pressed
(you will see an X for each digit if Secure Entry is enabled). After
pressing the # key to transmit the code to the controller, the
display will show Please Wait until a response is returned from the
controller. If the keypad is communicating with the controller, the
display will show either Entry Granted or another corresponding
message.
3. Test for communications with the controller by powering up the
controller. The date and time at the controller will automatically
update on the keypad and appear in the display. This veries
communications from the controller to the keypad. Test
communications from the keypad to the controller by entering an
access code into the keypad and pressing the # key.
4. If the keypad display responds with anything other than Please Wait
before returning to the date and time, the keypad has successfully
communicated with the controller. If you only get a display of Please
Wait and the keypad defaults back to the power-up default time of
12:00, recheck the wiring, baud rate settings, and address settings.
Also ensure that the controller is set to the correct number of
remotes.
