Normal Operation

Activating the Screen

Locking the Door

  1. Activate the screen.
  2. Press the Lock symbol.

Note: If no user codes are programmed, the door cannot be locked via touchscreen.

SecureScreen™

SecureScreen is an added security feature that displays random digits before you enter a user code to unlock the door. This feature ensures that there are fingerprints on all digits so that codes cannot be identified by examining the touchscreen for fingerprints.

If desired, this feature can be disabled by turning switch #4 to the off position.

Z-Wave & ZigBee Systems

  • Lock Inclusion

    • “Inclusion” refers to the process in which the lock is added to a Z-Wave or ZigBee controller.
    • Initiate the Inclusion process at your ZigBee or Z-Wave controller. Refer to your control system instructions for more information.
  • Inclusion Troubleshooting
    If Inclusion is unsuccessful, perform the Exclusion process. Then repeat the Inclusion process. If Inclusion is still unsuccessful, consult the online Troubleshooting Guide, available on the SmartCode 916 page of www.kwikset.com.

  • Lock Exclusion
    “Exclusion” refers to the process in which the lock is removed from a Z-Wave or ZigBee controller. Initiate the Exclusion process at your Z-Wave or ZigBee controller. Refer to your control system instructions for more information.

Use the chart to determine which button to press during Inclusion and Exclusion. Kwikset-99160-021-Touch-Screen-Electronic-Deadbolt

System Notes

Z-Wave

In order to fully utilize this product, you must have a Z-Wave controller compatible with door locks. Z-Wave is a “Wireless mesh network,” and results may vary based on building construction and communication path, with 35 feet+ being typical installed distance from the network controller. It may be necessary to install additional Z-Wave beaming capable devices that can serve as repeaters to enhance the communication path between the lock and controller for a more robust Z-Wave network.

ZigBee

ZigBee is a “Wireless mesh network,” and results may vary based on building construction and communication path, with 35+ feet being the typical installed distance in a standard home environment and 250 feet+ when the lock has a clear line of sight with the network controller. It may be necessary to install additional ZigBee devices to enhance the communication path between the lock and controller for a more robust ZigBee network.

Programming Codes

Programming Information

It is recommended that you add and delete all user codes through your Z-Wave or ZigBee control system. If your system does not allow this, the following sections will provide instructions for how to add and delete codes at the lock.

User Codes Requirements

Each user code must be a unique code between 4 and 8 digits, depending on your control system. A total of 30 user codes may be programmed.

Programming Behavior

Successful Programming

The Checkmark symbol will illuminate and you will hear one beep*.

Unsuccessful Programming

The “X” pattern will flash three times, and you will hear three beeps*.

Programming Timeout

If the screen is not pressed for 20 seconds, the system will time out (indicated by three beeps* and the “X” pattern flashing three times), and you will need to restart the procedure.

*A beeping sound will only be heard if switch #3 is on.

Enabling and Adding a Master code (Optional for Enhanced Security)

User codes can be programmed with or without a master code. Using a master code is an optional, added-security measure. It is not enabled by default. A master code is used to add and delete user codes, but it cannot unlock the door (unless the same code is programmed as a user code, though this is not recommended). The master code must be 4-8 digits.Kwikset-99160-021-Touch-
Screen-Electronic-Deadbolt \(25\)

If the screen is not pressed for 20 seconds, the system will time out, and you will need to restart the procedure.

Important Safeguards

  1. Read all instructions in their entirety.
  2. Familiarize yourself with all warning and caution statements.
  3. Remind all family members of safety precautions.
  4. Restrict access to your lock’s back panel and routinely check your settings to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge.
  5. Protect your user codes and master codes.
  6. Dispose of used batteries according to local laws and regulations.
  7. For added security, turn on switch #4.

CAUTION: Prevent unauthorized entry. Since anyone with access to the back panel can change the user codes, you must restrict access to the back panel and routinely check the user codes to ensure they have not been altered without your knowledge. The use of a mastercode can help protect your system’s settings.

WARNING: This Manufacturer advises that no lock can provide complete security by itself. This lock may be defeated by forcible or technical means, or evaded by entry elsewhere on the property. No lock can substitute for caution, awareness of your environment, and common sense. Builder’s hardware is available in multiple performance grades to suit the application.
