1 Mastercode
A About the Mastercode
Using a Mastercode is an optional, added-security measure. It is not enabled
by default. A Mastercode 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 Mastercode must be 4-8 digits.
B Enabling and Setting the Mastercode
Programming timeout: If no button is pressed for five seconds, the system will
time out (indicated by three beeps and a red flashing lock button), and you
will need to restart the procedure.
1. Make sure the audio setting on the lock is turned on / not muted.
2. Keep door open. Press and HOLD the Program button until the lock button
flashes green (about 5 seconds).
5. Re-enter Mastercode.
61899 Rev 01
3. Enter new Mastercode.
6. Press Lock button once.
4. Press Lock button once.

If programming is successful, the lock button will flash green once with one
long beep.
If programming is unsuccessful, the lock button will flash red three times
with three beeps. Make sure the Mastercode has not already been programmed.
Attempt the procedure again, making sure to enter the same new Mastercode in
step 2 and 4.
7. Press the Program button once. If you hear three beeps and see the lock
button flash green, the Mastercode is enabled. Note: The lock will time out
after five seconds.

2 Troubleshooting: Installation
A The interior mounting screws are difficult to tighten.
B The interior and exterior assembly won’t mount parallel to the door edge.
C The interior assembly does not fit on the mounting plate.
If you encounter any of the problems above, the deadbolt latch may be
installed upside down. Remove the interior assembly, mounting plate, and
exterior assembly from the door, and look at the latch inside the door hole.
If the word “UP” is upside down and at the bottom of the latch, the latch is
installed incorrectly.
61899 Rev 01
Reinstall the latch, making sure the word “UP” faces upward.
Other solutions may include:
1. Loosen the mounting screws and make sure they go in straight without
cross-threading.
2. Loosen the mounting screws and latch screws and reinstall the mounting
screws first before tigthening the latch screws.
3. Chisel out the bore hole opposite side of the latch if the latch cannot be
centered.

4 Troubleshooting: Smart Home Systems
61899 Rev 01
A The lock fails to pair with a Z-wave smart home system.
The lock was not removed completely from another network before being paired
with the new network.
Follow your smart home system’s instructions to remove (exclude/unpair) the
device from any other network. Then, attempt to pair (add/include) the lock
again.
The lock is not close enough to the controller.
Some Z-wave systems require that the lock be within 12″ of the controller
during the pairing process. If the lock has already been installed on the
door, remove the interior assembly from the mounting plate. Make sure the
batteries are installed, and bring the interior assembly next to the
controller. Follow your smart home system’s instructions to begin pairing at
the controller. The lock may need to remain stationary for 60 seconds during
pairing.
Note: Some locks have an anti-tamper alarm that will sound if the interior is
disconnect from the exterior. If this alarm is heard, perform the following:
a. Remove the battery pack from the interior.
b. Remove the exterior assembly from the door.
c. Connect the cable from the exterior assembly to the interior assembly.
d. Reinstall the battery pack.
e. Perform the pairing process while the interior and exterior are connected.

4 Troubleshooting: Smart Home Systems (cont.)
61899 Rev 01
B I can see the lock in my controller, but I can’t control it from the controller.
The system needs a repeater or router to reach the lock.
Adding repeaters to your system may help communication between your lock and
the controller, especially if they are far away from each other.
with a key so that the lock status transmits to the system. If it still does not communicate, remove (exclude/unpair) the lock from your system. Then, pair (add/include) the lock with your system again. If the problem persists, add a repeater or router between the controller and lock if none presently exist in the system.
The network configuration changed. If any repeaters or routers in the system
were moved since adding the lock to the system, perform the “rediscover”
process in your system’s user interface.
The lock is in sleep mode. If the lock has been unable to communicate with the
system after multiple attempts, it will go into sleep mode. Lock and unlock
the door
The light module or switch is not beaming capable.
Z-Wave locks: Ensure the light module or switch located between the controller
and lock is beaming capable.
ZigBee locks: Ensure the router is reachable by both controller and lock.
C The lock fails to update or pair with a service provider’s ZigBee smart
home system.
Lock fails to OTA (Over the Air) update firmware.
1. Reboot the lock:
a. Remove the battery pack from the lock. b. Press the “Program” button for 5
seconds and then the “A”
button for 5 seconds. c. If TS (touchscreen controller) shows low battery
trouble for
the lock subjected to the firmware update then install new batteries in pack.
d. Replace the battery pack into the lock. e. If lock still fails to OTA
update firmware, proceed to Step 2.
2. Delete, default, and pair lock again:
a. Delete the lock from TS (touchscreen controller). b. Perform a factory
reset:
i. Remove the battery pack from the lock. ii. Press the “Program” button for 5
seconds and then
the “A” button for 5 seconds.
iii. Press and hold the “Program” button while reinserting the battery pack.
Keep holding the button for 30 seconds until the lock beeps and the status LED
flashes red.
iv. Press the “Program” button momentarily. v. After several seconds, the lock
will flash the status
LED red and green several times and beeps twice (if audio is enabled) to
indicate factory reset is complete.
c. The lock will automatically perform handing. d. Pair the lock with TS
again. e. If lock still fails to OTA update firmware, proceed to Step 3.
3. If lock still fails to OTA update firmware after going through steps 1 and
2, it is recommended that your MSO/service provider contact Kwikset/Weiser for
advanced replacement of the lock.

5 Troubleshooting: Battery
A The batteries drain within one day.
The lock must be replaced. Contact Technical Support.
B The batteries drain within one week.
Keypad error. See “Keypad error test” on page 14.
C The batteries drain within a few weeks.
The smart home system’s user interface falsely reports a low battery. If you
receive an alert from your smart home system indicating that the battery is
low, confirm this is true at the lock. If the LEDs turn amber or green,
followed by a red flash, the battery is low. If the red flash is not seen, the
battery is not low. This is an error on the smart home system side that will
often be fixed when the lock is manually locked or unlocked.
61899 Rev 01
The Wireless Card LEDs are staying on. Remove the battery pack, press and hold
the program button for 10 seconds. Replace the battery pack. If the Wireless
Card LEDs continue to stay on, contact Technical Support.
The smart home system controller’s communication with the lock is draining the
battery. Remove the lock from your system. Put a new set of batteries in the
lock. Operate the lock in stand-alone mode for a week. If the batteries drain
within the week, the problem resides in the lock. If the batteries do not
drain, the problem may be the smart home controller. Call Technical Support.
The smart home system controller’s ping frequency is too high. Decrease the
ping frequency from the controller to the lock to the lowest possible setting.
D The lock still shows low battery behavior locally and/or on SmartHome
console
after fresh batteries were installed:
To ensure proper operations post power cycle, allow 30 seconds between battery
removal and replacement. If the lock still displays low battery behavior
and/or fails to join/rejoin a ZigBee network, remove the battery pack, press
and hold the program button for 5 seconds then press and hold button A for 5
seconds. Replace the battery pack.

6 Battery FAQ
How long will the lock operate on a set of batteries? Based on 10 operations
per day, a single, new set of Alkaline batteries will operate the lock for
over a year.
What type of batteries do you recommend? For best results, use new non-
rechargeable Alkaline batteries only.
I am planning to be away for several months. Will my lock operate when I get
back? When the system is idling, it consumes minimum power (very close to
battery shelf life.) With alkaline batteries, the lock should be operable
after years of idle.
61899 Rev 01
I replaced my batteries less than a year ago and need to replace them again.
Check your door alignment. If the deadbolt makes several unsuccessful attempts
to lock or unlock the door, it may mean that the door is warped and the latch
does not line up correctly with the strike. Operating the lock excessively
reduces battery life. Avoid turning on the keypad light unnecessarily.
