Add a new access code at a specified address.
The code will operate Channel 1 only.
The following KwikLearn procedure and connection diagram will enable
you to start using your SMARTGUARDair system right away.
Additional procedures are explained later in this guide.
1. KwikLearn
The SMARTGUARDair will have to be paired to a valid receiver
before a code will be able to activate it. Thus, the KwikLearn
procedure will store a new code in the keypad’s memory, but the
code will still have to be associated with a receiver using either the
KwikPair facility described overleaf, or the Pairing Menu (Menu 3).

In order to preserve battery life, the unit is packed with the link
fitted on the 12V side of the power selection pins.
To select batteries as the primary power source, bridge
the pin marked ‘AA BATT’ with the common (centre) pin.
For information on selecting 12V as the primary power source,
refer to Section 19, ‘Typical connection diagram’.

The SMARTGUARDair must now be paired with a CENTURION
code-hopping radio receiver.
1. Place the receiver into Learn Mode, and enter a valid code on the
SMARTGUARDair, followed by . The SMARTGUARDair will
now transmit for a short time, and will pair with the receiver.
2. Remove the receiver from Learn Mode, and test the system by
entering a valid code, followed by . The receiver should now
activate.

The procedures in this Guide require the user to perform certain
sequential actions on the SMARTGUARDair keypad. To assist you, the
combined state of the three LED indicators on the keypad correspond
with particular steps within a procedure. When carrying out the
procedures, please be aware of the following:
The factory default Master Code ( is used throughout this
Guide as an example only. Refer to Section 7 for instructions on how to
change the Master Code.

3. How to use this Guide
Important when choosing an access code number
If you intend using the Duress Security Parameter ensure
that no consecutive numbers are assigned as codes.
Ensure that the desired code has not already been allocated

In the example below, a new code is learned into Address 0,
meaning that a new Master Code will be created and the existing
Master Code replaced.

5. General description
The CENTURION SMARTGUARDair is a durable, quality keypad designed
to provide high security access control to restricted areas.
The weatherproof unit is wireless, and is powered by two AA Alkaline
(penlight) batteries. When any key is pressed, a backlight illuminates the
keypad for ease of use at night.
Access is granted by the keying in of a valid access code. The access code
can vary from one to ten digits. Up to one thousand different access codes
can be stored within the unit’s non-volatile memory. New codes can be
added and existing codes can be deleted as required. ‘Token codes’ can be
added, allowing only a preset number of activations, after which the code
becomes invalid.
Each code can activate one of fifteen channels. A channel is defined as
an external CENTURION code-hopping compatible receiver, either
stand-alone, single channel, multichannel or integrated into products
such as the D5-Evo, D10, VECTOR2, etc.
An anti-hack feature can be enabled, causing the unit to shut down
after a pre-selected number of incorrect codes have been entered. The
unit will then reset after a pre-selected time. A telltale LED will indicate
that the anti-hack feature has been triggered. Once programmed, the
system can be backed up onto the optional Backup Memory Module
(Code PCA12201V1.0). This allows the system to be easily restored if
required. An optional independent tamper switch can be fitted and
wired internally to transmit an alarm signal if the unit has been forced
open, or removed from its mountings.

The following procedure will enable the user to change the default
Master Code or the currently stored Master Code to a new
Master Code. The Master Code may also be learned into the system by
following the procedure in Section 8 ‘Adding a New User’.
Example: Replace the default Master Code with a new
