Access Control Keypads

Features and Programming Guide

Note: This product is designed to be installed and serviced

by security and lock industry professionals.

DOOR♦GARD keypads offer fi eld proven reliability and cost effective solutions anywhere limited control or access is desired.

Designed for individual control of up to four devices, Door ♦ Gard keypads are the perfect choice for controlling electric locking
devices, security systems, automatic operators or machinery. Door ♦ Gard keypads accept power from a 12 or 24 Volt AC/DC
supply.

FEATURES

● 4 INDEPENDENT OUTPUTS

● 4 INDEPENDENT TIMERS

● ALL OUTPUTS ASSIGNABLE BY CODE

● ON BOARD MAIN RELAY

● 120 USERS

● REMOTE TRIGGERING INPUT

● KEYPAD PROGRAMMABLE

MEMORY

Non-volatile EEPROM memory means your codes and
instructions will be there whether you remove power for
5 minutes or 5 years.

PROGRAMMING

All programming is done entirely from the front of the
keypad. LED or sounder guidance makes programming
easy. It takes seconds for an authorized user to change
codes.

CODES

The Door ♦ Gard keypads allow up to 120 individual user
codes. Codes can be 1 to 6 digits in length and digits may be
repeated. The Master Code is always stored in user location
one (1).

MAIN RELAY

The main relay is a form C relay, which you can program as
a timed output (1 to 90 seconds) or to toggle (latch). See the
Wiring Diagram and Specifi cations for the relay electrical
specifi cations.

AUXILIARY OUTPUTS

You can program these outputs as timed outputs (1 to
90 seconds) or to toggle (latch). They can be controlled
individually or in combination by a code. Some models
have 1 Amp form C relays and other models have negative
voltage outputs with a 50mA sink. ‡

PANIC

Panic is activated by pressing the ✱ and # keys at the same
time. By default, it operates output 4 and activates for 1
second.

REMOTE TRIGGERING INPUT (REX)

By default, upon a momentary closure this normally open
loop triggers the main relay for the same time period as the
Master Code. You can also program the REX to operate any
combination of the available outputs. The auxiliary outputs
activate for their programmed time.

KEYPRESS FEEDBACK/AUDIBLE KEYPRESS

Door ♦ Gard keypads, by default, acknowledge a keypress
by momentarily illuminating the yellow LED or activate the
sounder. This depends on the model. You can turn this off
through programming.

KEYPAD ACTIVE OUTPUT

Door ♦ Gard keypads can be programmed to energize a
voltage output whenever a key is touched. You can use this
to turn on lights, CCTV camera, or notify a guard.

AUTO ENTRY

This feature is used when you don’t want to press the ✱ key
after entering your code. You only need to enter your code
number (without pressing ✱) and the relay activates. To
use this feature, the user codes must be the same length
as the master code. Please remember to access program
mode when auto entry is on, do not press the ✱ key (Press:
99 # master code), however the ✱ is required while entering
programming commands.

‡ Voltage Outputs may be converted to 1 Amp, Form-C
relays by adding the 293 Auxiliary Relay Board (Model
# 0-219000).

TESTING THE KEYPAD

1. Connect the positive (+) lead of your power supply to
the terminal strip (TS1) V+ input.

2. Connect the negative (-) lead of your power supply to
the terminal strip (TS1) V- input.

3. Turn on your power supply.

4. Press 7890#123456 ✱. If all 12 keypresses are
verifi ed, the keypad enters self-test mode.

The yellow LED fl ashes/sounder beeps 3 times, then
turns on solid for 3 seconds.

Note: Self-test mode can be used to troubleshoot a
keypad in the fi eld. If you do not get the continuous
light, the memory has been corrupted and should
be re-programmed with the default command (see
option #19).

5. Enter the master code (default = 1234) followed by the
✱ key and the relay energizes. Refer to programming
section to program your keypad.

NOTE:

You can program your keypad in your shop or at the
installation site. Programmed information is stored
in non-volatile memory so it won’t be lost if power is
removed.

KEYPAD DEFAULTS

Door ♦ Gard keypads are designed for easy installation in a
minimum amount of time. The following default settings are
factory programmed:

Master Code (user 1): 1234
Main Relay Time: 5 seconds
Auxiliary Output Time: 5 seconds
Panic Output: Output 4
Keypad Active Output: Off
REX Triggers: Main Relay
Keypress Feedback: On
LED – Normal State Red
LED - Relay Energized Green
Auto-Entry Off
If you must change the default settings or additional functions

are desired, please refer to the Programming Options Chart
after you are familiar with the Programming section.

NOTE:

● Door ♦ Gard keypads are factory programmed with a
master code of 1234.

● 1Indicator refers to either the yellow LED or

sounder.

The master code is always stored in user location

●  

1.

● The master code allows access to programming mode
and activates the main relay.

● By default (auto-entry is off), all codes must be
followed by the ✱ key.

● Codes may be from 1-6 digits in length, and digits
may be repeated.

● If you forgot the master code or it is not working,
momentarily push SW1, (see wiring diagram for
location) to enter programming mode and go to option
#19 on the Programming Options chart to default
keypad.

● If the yellow LED lights solid or sounder is on steady
while in programming mode, an error has occurred.
