Introduction

Overview

The KE-265 is an easy to program, easy to use, stand-alone
Keyless Entry
control requirements. Providing either a voltage output or dry
contact closure, the KE-265 is designed to control any fail-safe
or fail-secure electric locking device.

The KE-265 features one master code and five user codes.
Two relay outputs are available to provide a variety of access
control configurations including single door operation with an
auxiliary output for a CCTV/Light Controller, a Gate/Garage
Door controller or Doorbell activation or the KE-265 can be
configured for two door operation.

Input Requirements

The KE-265 accepts 12 to 24 volts AC/DC. An optional
battery charging module and rechargeable Gel Cells are
available to keep the system operational for up to 24 hours
during a power interruption. System current draw (maximum):

Standby: 10mA at 12 volts, 25mA at 24 volts
During Operation: .25 amps max (with illuminated
Keypad)

⊗IMPORTANT: The maximum current draw allowed is 1 amp.
(3 amps with battery back-up for fail-secure applications only.)
Check the specifications of your locking device. Make sure
that the locking device and the KE-265 (.25 amps) combined
draw less than 1 amp. For locking devices that draw more
current, a separate power supply is required. (See Appendix B
– Page 24)

 Note: If connecting DC, make the connections to “DC
IN/OUT” instead of “12-24V AC/DC IN” (see Circuit Board
Layout – Page 23). Make sure the polarity is correct.

Output Capabilities

The KE-265 provides two SPDT dry contact relays (rated at 6
amps at 120 VAC). Each relay can be configured to perform
one of many different functions depending on the specific
access control requirement. User Authorization to control
each relay is determined by Setting Relay Options (see
System Hardware Setup Î page 10). Each relay can be
configured for one of the following options:

1. Voltage Output – For any Fail Safe or Fail Secure
Locking Device

2. Dry Contact Output – For control of Gate Operator or
Garage Door

3. CCTV or Light Controller – First key press triggers a 10
second output

4. Doorbell – Press ∗ at the Keypad to trigger a 1 second
output for a doorbell (not included). This function is
only available with a 12 Pad 3x4 or Thinline 2x6.

5. Auxiliary Output – Momentary or Manual Control
electronic device.

Preparing for Installation

System Components

There are four primary components to be installed:

1.

The Keypad should be
mounted on the wall
adjacent to the door.
It should be on the
same side as the door
strike and about 4 feet
above the floor.

2.

The Control Module
should be mounted
inside the building
near a power source.
Typically the control
module is hidden in a
false ceiling or closet.
The control module must be located in an environmentally
controlled area where the temperature remains between
– 40°C and +49°C (-40° F and 125° F.)

3.

The Wiring Cable connects the keypad to the control
module. It is important
any wiring that carries line voltage. Included with the
system is a 15-foot CL2 12 conductor jacketed wiring cable
of which only 11 wires are used. If the Control Module
must be located further than 15 feet from the Keypad,
additional cable may be spliced. The maximum distance
between the Keypad and the Control Module must not
exceed 1,000 feet (250 feet for an Illuminated 5-Pad). For
runs over 200 feet, 18 gauge wire should be used. Under
200 feet, 20 gauge is acceptable.

4.

The Electric Strike/Other Locking Device(not included)
connects to the KE-265’s Main Relay output via a strike
cable. (See Appendix B – Typical Wiring Diagrams. Page

24)

The Installation Procedure

Required Tools

You will need the following tools:

• Medium sized, Phillips head
screwdriver

• 1/8” standard screwdriver

• Drill

Prepare the Keypad for Installation

There are different procedures for mounting each Keypad.
Locate the Keypad part number on the back of the Keypad
and follow appropriate mounting instructions below. Keypad
templates are included with each Keypad (except KP-34’s) to
assist with the installation.

Mounting Instructions 5 Pad Non Illuminated: KP-5S and KP-5SL

1. Select flat mounting surface 3" X 7".

2. Use “Template A” (included with the Keypad) to mark
locations of holes A, B, and C.

3. Locate and drill the large hole marked “A”. Hole must be at
least 7/8" (22mm) diameter.

4. Hold the Keypad against the wall with the connector
through hole “A”. Check markings for hole “B”. Re-mark if
required. If using plastic anchors, drill hole “B” using 3/16"
(6mm) bit. NOTE: Plastic anchors are provided for some
mounting applications. If anchors are not used, holes “B”
and “C” must be smaller than 3/16".

5. Using the template, verify the hole marked “C” is aligned
and then drill hole “C”.

6. Install the metal mounting bracket into hole “C” with the
screw provided.

7. Do NOT mount Keypad at this time.

8. Proceed to Install the Wiring Cable.

Mounting Instructions 5 Pad Illuminated: KP-5DI and KP-5SI

1. Select a flat surface 1 ¾" X 7".

2. Use “Template B” (included with the Keypad) to mark holes
A, B and C.

3. Locate and drill the large hole marked “A”. Hole must be at
least 7/8" (22mm) diameter.

4. Check markings for holes “B” and “C”. Re-mark if required.
Drill holes ”B” and “C” using 3/16" (6mm) bit.

5. Install the metal mounting bracket with the screws

provided.

• 7/8” or 1” (25mm) drill bit

• 1/2” (16mm) drill bit

• 5/32” (4mm) drill bit (For 12-Pad 3x4)

• 3/16” (6mm) drill bit (For 5-Pads & Thinline 2x6)

6. Do NOT mount Keypad at this time.

7. Proceed to Install the Wiring Cable.

Mounting Instructions 12 Pad 3x4: KP-34S, KP-34B or KP-34K

The 3x4 keypad is designed to mount to a single gang
switchbox or on a wall, pedestal or any flat surface of at least 3
½ by 5 ¼”. The composition of the mounting surface will
determine the fastening method required. If mounting to a
surface other than a switchbox:

1. Select a flat surface (3 ½” by 5 ¼”) near the door where
you wish to install the keypad.

2. Drill the large hole for the Keypad connector using a 7/8”
(25mm) drill bit.

3. Place the connector on the back of the keypad in the large
hole. Mark the keypad mounting holes.

4. Drill clearance holes in accordance with fastening method
used. (If mounting to wood, drill small pilot holes and use
#6 flat head wood screws provided. If mounting to metal,
drill two 5/32" clearance holes for #6 flat head machine
screws provided.)

5. Do NOT mount the keypad at this time.

6. Proceed to Install the Wiring Cable.

Mounting Instructions Thinline 2x6: KP-26TS, KP-26TI, KP-26TB
or KP-26TR

The Thinline 2x6 is designed for mullion mount applications. It
can also be mounted on a wall, pedestal or any flat surface of
at least 1 ¾” by 7”. The composition of the mounting surface
will determine the fastening method required:

1. Select a flat surface (1 ¾ ” by 7”) near the door where you
wish to install the keypad.

2. Using the Thinline template, mark location of holes.

3. Drill the large hole using a 1” (25mm) drill bit.

4. Place the connector on the back of the keypad in the large
hole to verify that the mounting holes are aligned. Make
adjustments if necessary.

5. Drill mounting holes in accordance with fastening method
used. If mounting to wood, drill small pilot holes and use
#6 flat head wood screws provided. If mounting to metal,
drill two 5/32" clearance holes for #6 flat head machine
screws provided.

6. Do NOT mount the keypad at this time.

7. Proceed to Install the Wiring Cable.
