VP Keypad Access Device

Gate Operators
• Most electric gate operators require a ‘normally open’
contact (pins 4 & 5). Some electric door strikes require a
‘normally closed’ contact (pins 5 & 6).
• If door strikes are used it is recommended that they be 12V DC.
• Install a shunting diode across the solenoid to prevent ground
spikes from disrupting the keypad communication.
• The VP has a presence sensor function that allows the keypad
to be connected to a loop detector, or pressure mat requiring
a ‘presence’ in order to use the keypad. This function prevent
users from walking to, and using, the keypad in a driveway area
where they may be in danger from vehicles or the gate.
• This function is often used in connection with a gate operator
and loop detector. Loop detector output wires are connected
to terminal block P7 in the keypad. The keypad is then
programmed with the
Presence Required ‘ON’. see
‘Setup Functions’ on page 24 for information on setting up
this feature.
• Do not connect a gate operator or door strike to a keypad
located directly outside the area it secures. This improves
security by preventing someone from vandalizing the keypad
to gain access to your site.
Do not place a diode across AC strikes as it will short out the
power supply for the strike.
Check the voltage level!
Relay voltage must not exceed 30 volts.
Wiring the relay to the operating device introduces the
operating device control voltage into the keypad housing.
The VP is not designed for the presence of
high voltage inside the keypad case.
