UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR
KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
2242923617
MODELS KEP-1 AND KEP-1A
INSTALLATION AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY CAUTION
The Genie® Keyless Entry System includes everything required for most
residential garage installations. The contents include the code pad with
signal tail, control box, wall transformer, two (2) 25' rolls of wire and a
parts bag containing insulated staples and fasteners.
1. Select a convenient location for the code pad on the outside door jamb or
wall. BE CERTAIN THE LOCATION IS OUT OF THE AREA OR PATH OF THE
MOVING GARAGE DOOR AND SUPPORTING HARDWARE.
Figure 1 illustrates the code pad installed on the door jam. A wall installation is
illustrated in Figure 2. IMPORTANT: Do not allow children to play games with
the door.
2. For door jam mounting, momentarily pry the door stop away from the jam and
slide the signal tail between and into the garage, Figure 3. Secure the code pad
to the jam with the four brass screws supplied. CAUTION: JAM MOUNTING
SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ONE-PIECE GARAGE DOORS. For wall mounting,
drill a 1/2" hole through the garage wall at the selected location. Carefully
insert the signal tail through the hole and into the garage., Figure 4. Be sure you
route all connecting wire away from the garage door to ensure it cannot be
snagged by the door or door hardware. Secure the code pad to the wall with
the four brass screws supplied.
3. Remove the cover of the control box by pressing inward on the sides and
pulling up. The signal tail plugs into the control box, therefor, position the box
on the interior wall of the garage within reach of the signal tail. Proper
positioning is illustrated in Figure 5. Secure the control box with the two
1" screws supplied.
Prior to installing the Keyless Entry System, be certain to disconnect
the electrical power to the garage door opener. Most garage door
openers feature a manual release device. Since automatic operation
of the door will not be possible after power is disconnected, we
suggest you disengage the opener per the manufacturer's
instructions. This will allow manual operation of the garage door
during installation of the Keyless Entry System.

4. Plug the signal tail into the control box as shown in Figure 5. IMPORTANT: The
signal tail has a notch near the connector end. THE NOTCH MUST BE NEXT TO
THE PROGRAM SWITCH WHEN PLUGGED IN. If the notch faces away from the
program switch when plugged in, the unit will appear to operate properly, but
your security code will not be stored correctly and other codes may also open
your door.
1. Move the program switch to the "SET" position.
2. Press the series of buttons you have chosen for your code.
(From 1 to 8 numbers.) Do not use "
*
" as part of your code.
3. Press the "*" button ONCE to record your code. If the "*" button is pressed
more than once, it will erase your code, leaving,only the "*." You will have no
security code and the door will operate every time the "*" button is pushed.
4. Move the program switch to "RUN."
5. CAUTION: TEST YOUR CODE AS FOLLOWS.
Push only the "*".
The unit should not operate.
Enter any code (NOT YOUR OWN) and press the "*".
The unit should not operate.
Enter your code followed by the "*". The unit SHOULD operate.
If any part of the test fails, move the program switch back to "SET" and begin
again at Step 1.
6. Snap the cover back onto the control box. Make sure the wires go through the
slots provided for them.
5. Remove approximately 1/2" of insulation from both wires on one end of a roll
of two-conductor wire. Fasten one wire to each of the two screws located near
the relay, Figure 6. Route this pair of wires to the push button terminals on the
garage door opener powerhead using the staples provided. Cut the pair of
wires to length, strip back the insulation as needed and attach them to the
push button terminals, Figure 6. Remove approximately 1/2: of insulation from
both wires on one end of the remaining roll of 2-conductor wire and fasten
one wire to each of the remaining screws on the end of the control box,
Figure 6. Route this pair of wires to the nearest grounded 120V electrical outlet.
Cut the pair of wires to the required length, strip back insulation as needed
from each wire, and attach one wire to each of the screws on the transformer
(Do not connect them directly to the electrical outlet.) IMPORTANT: When
making all of the above connections, make sure wire ends do not touch
adjacent terminals or each other. Wires must be connected as shown in
Figure 6. Mark both ends of one pair of wires with tape to prevent connecting
them to the wrong terminals.
Re-engage the garage door opener per the manufacturer's instructions —
reconnect electrical power to the opener — plug the power transformer into the
120V outlet.
Note: Most garage door openers use terminals 1 and 2 for the push button
connection. To be certain, trace the wires from the push button back to the
opener powerhead.
PICK A CODE THAT CANNOT BE EASILY GUESSED. DO NOT USE ADDRESS, PHONE
NUMBER, FAMILY NAMES, ETC.
1. Enter your security code followed by the
"*". When you have entered the
correct code the "*" button operates the same as the wall mounted push
button. For 17 seconds the unit will continue to operate using only the "*"
button. For operation after 17 seconds, you must enter your whole security
code followed by the "*" again.
