GTO Digital Keypad Instruction Manual

GTO Digital Keypad

IMPORTANT: Your keypad may need to be hard wired due to the fact that it must accept interference according to FCC regulations listed below. For example, applications that are relativity close to cell towers or airports may receive intermittent interference and require hard-wiring.
The GTO Digital Keypad is a multipurpose keypad that can work with other applications in addition to GTO gate openers and locks. As a wired keypad it can operate garage door openers and gate openers, that require 24 volts or less and accept normally open contacts.
As a wireless keypad it can be used with any gate or garage door opener that receives a 318 MHz RF signal. The keypad must be used in conjunction with the GTO garage door receiver kit (part # RB709) on any other garage door.

SAFETY NOTE: Never install the keypad where a person can reach through the gate to activate it, or where a person can touch the gate while activating the keypad. The recommended mini-mum distance between the gate and keypad is 10ft.

FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in particular installations. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or replace the receiver antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Features of the Keypad

You may program up to 25 different personal entry codes, allowing you to give different entry codes to different users. For example, you can give a delivery person their own entry code, which you can easily change after they have made the delivery. This will prevent them from being able to regain access, while still allowing those to whom you gave other entry codes full access.
After entering a valid code, pressing any key while the gate is opening will stop the gate; pressing any key while the gate is stopped and the gate will reverse direction. The keypad will not affect the auto-close setting of your gate opener system.
The keypad face will light up and beeper will beep at the press of any key. The keypad memory will recognize your entry code in a string of up to 20 digits; if it finds the correct sequence it will activate the gate opener. As a security feature, the keypad will shut down for 40 seconds if it does not find the correct code sequence within a 20 digit string. This will discourage an unauthorized person from trying to use random numbers to access your property.
Your entry codes will remain stored in memory even when the batteries go dead. The keypad will remember your entry codes as long as you don’t press the RESET button.

Keypad Description

Keypad – Front

Keypad – Inside

Installing Batteries

NOTE: 3 AA batteries are required to power the keypad unless an external power supply such as the gate openers power source is used. Low voltage wire from the external power source must be connected to the POWER IN terminals on the keypad control board, if batteries are not installed.
Step 1: Remove the two screws from the bottom of the keypad and separate the keypad from its housing.
Step 2: Install 3 AA batteries (not included).

Wireless Installation of the Keypad

NOTE: For wireless applications, the distance from the keypad to the opener’s receiver should not exceed 50 ft. Always test the key-pad range before permanently mounting it.
Step 1: Mount the keypad cover using the screws provided. Set the keypad DIP switches to match your entry transmitter’s DIP switch settings.

NOTE: If you have not changed your opener’s transmitter code from the factory setting, see the “Setting Your Personal Transmitter Code” section in the gate openers manual then set the keypad DIP switches to match the new transmitter DIP switch setting.

Step 2: Slide the keypad into the cover and secure with the small screws provided.

Wired Installation of the Keypad

NOTE: If you also plan to power the keypad with the gate opener’s power source, run two pairs of wires as described below. One pair to hard-wire the keypad and the other pair to connect the keypad to the gate opener’s battery.
Step 1: Turn the gate opener’s power switch OFF. Use 16 gauge, stranded, direct burial low voltage wire (part no. RB509) to connect the keypad to the opener control board. Run wire through PVC pipe from the ground to keypad and from the ground to the opener control board to protect the wire from lawn mowers or grazing animals.
Determine how the wire will enter the keypad (i.e. from the back through a hole drilled in the mounting post or running the wire on the surface of the post). Remove the small rectangular knock-out on the back of the keypad cover and pull the wire into the cover. Then mount the cover to the post using the screws provided.

Step 2: To hard-wire the keypad – strip the wires back 3/16″ and attach the wires to the terminal block marked RELAY OUTPUT on the keypad control board as shown to the right. Connect the other end to the opener’s control board as shown in Control Board Connections section below.
To wire the power supply to the keypad attach the wires to the AC/DC POWER IN terminal on the keypad control board as shown to the right. Connect the other end to the opener’s battery – one end to the POSITIVE pole and the other to the NEGATIVE pole.

NOTE: For a hard-wired application the jumper between the two terminals on the keypad control board must be connected (ON) as shown. This will disable the 318 MHz RF transmitter.

Step 3: Slide the keypad into the cover and secure with the small screws provided.

Step 4: With the power to the opener turned OFF.
Remove opener control board cover and feed enough of the low voltage keypad wire through a strain relief to reach the gate opener control board terminals.
Step 5: Attach the wires from the keypad to the opener control board terminal blocks as shown below.
Step 6: Replace the control board cover and turn the power switch ON. Test the keypad by entering 1 2 3 4.
Step 7: Program your ‘Personal Master Code’ and any additional entry codes (for a total of 25 entry codes) you wish. See Programming the Keypad section.

Control Board Connections

Normal Keypad Operation

• If the user enters a 4-digit code that is matched to one of the 25 stored codes. The STATUS light should blink twice and the beeper should beep twice to confirm that a matched code is entered.
• No more than 20 key presses are allowed to obtain the 4-digit entry code.

Example:
1234 is one of the codes stored in one of the memory location.
The user can enter ‘x1234’ or ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1234’ and the gate should be activated (x is any key). If more than 20 key presses is entered without matching one of the codes then the unit’s STATUS light should be flashing rapidly and no entry will be accepted for the next 40 seconds. The user must not enter any code for at least 40 seconds before the unit returns to nor-mal operation; otherwise it remains in this ‘lock-down’ mode. Once the user enters a matched code, any subsequent key press within the next 40 seconds will re- activate the keypad.
