Introduction

This manual provides the necessary information for the proper installation and use of TriMark’s 500-1100 e-FOB and e-PAD System. The system includes the following components:

• e-FOB: 2 or 4-Button Keyless entry Radiofrequency (RF)
• e-FOB receiver: (sometimes called Full-Feature or TMFF): The input/output processor with Radiofrequency (RF) transceiver capabilities to communicate with the e-FOBs. This controller applies ground or power to certain wires to make appropriate output responses, this is called discrete functionality
• e-PAD or e-GRAB Handle with Keypad (Optional): A five button plastic or chrome handle. It allows for locking and unlocking functions discrete communication to the e-FOB receiver

The Full-Feature RF receiver and FOB transmitters are programmed and shipped. After making all necessary wiring connections (see appendix pages 23-26), the e-PAD / e-FOB system will function as indicated in this manual.

Chapter 1: e-FOB Operation and Features

Note

• While the system is sensed to be running, by the Ignition input being at 12 volts. (C1Pin 2). Only the unlock function will be active. Other functions are deactivated
• For information on changing the default configuration, see DIP switch settings assignment.
• Your system may have FOBs not shown here. Only TriMark FOBs marked with FCCID#
• TV2 EFOBI, or TV2 EFOBII, will work with this system.

Pressing any button on the fob should cause the LED to flash rapidly. If the fob’s LED does not flash, replace the batteries. The 4-button fobs are powered by (1) standard CR2032 3V battery. The 2-button fobs use (2) CR 1616 batteries.

Synchronizing e-FOBS to e-FOB Receiver

When you need to replace or add fobs to this 500-1100 Discrete system, you need to sync fobs to the receiver, they will not work with your system until they are sync’d to the receiver. Skipping steps in this procedure will cause the failure in the addition of new FOBs.
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTES FULLY BEFORE STARTING THIS TO ENSURE SUCCESS.
Notes: Synchronizing new fobs will unlearn any sync’d fobs previously stored. Make sure you have all the fobs that you wish to sync before starting this process. You must sync all fobs desired to work with your vehicle at the same time. If you sync another fob later, the ones you sync now will be erased.

Synchronizing Process

1. Ensure the Status LED plugged into the controller is not flashing.
   • If Status LED is flashing perform an unlock to disarm the alarm.
   • Verify the Status LED and Feature pushbutton are properly installed.
   • If still flashing, perform emergency override (see page 8) if necessary.
2. Gather all FOBs desired to be used on this controller from this point on, previous and new.
3. Test all FOBs to ensure the FOB LED lights brightly, if not replace batteries as necessary.
4. Ensure ignition is OFF, = no power on the ignition input connector C1 pin2.
5. Press the Feature Push Button deliberately three times. Status LED should flash with every press.
6. Wait 3 seconds, the Status LED should come on RED and stay on = synching window open.
7. Within 10 seconds of the LED coming on press and release any button on the first FOB.
   • The Status LED should go OFF and then Back on. If equipped or wired, the horn will sound once.
   • The programming window 10 second timer resets.
   • Press and release any button on the next FOB.
   • The Status LED should go OFF and then Back on. If equipped the horn will sound once.
8. The programming window 10 second timer resets.
9. Repeat Step 8 until all desired FOBs are synchronized.
10.  After all desired FOBs are synched wait until the Status Indicator LED goes OFF = sync window closed.
11. Test FOBs for operation.

Notes on synchronizing FOBs.

• When new FOBs are synched, ALL previous FOBs are un-synched and need to be re-synched
• If put into synchronization mode and no FOBs are synched the window closes in 10 seconds with no changes
• The FOBs in memory are not lost on a power loss to the controller
• This controller can have up to 60 FOBs in memory
• As soon as the synchronization window closes (Status LED off) the system is fully functional

e-FOB Guidelines
The e-FOB is designed to use commonly available CR2032 or CR1616 batteries. Estimated normal use should have an expected life of 2 years for the fob battery. Variances across commercial battery manufacturers and operating environment conditions may result in deviations from the expected battery life. The following guidelines should be followed to optimize fob battery life and system performance.
Due to the chemical process inherent in batteries, the performance of the e-FOB may be degraded at extreme temperatures. Operating temperature ranges vary across batteries from different manufacturers. For commercially available CR2032 batteries the typical operating temperatures ranges from –0C to +60C.
At cold temperatures, the battery’s chemical process is slowed down and can result in reduced fob range performance or an inoperative fob. When the battery is returned to warmer temperatures, normal performance will return. Extreme cold temperatures, below –20C, can cause a battery to freeze and fail due to expansion of internal plastic components. Simply replacing the battery allows the fob to function normally.
At extreme hot temperatures, the battery’s chemical process is accelerated. This may result in a reduced life expectancy of the battery. Normal fob range performance can be expected at higher temperatures if manufacturer limits are not exceeded.

Chapter 2: e-FOB Receiver Operation and Features

The e-FOB Receiver is equipped with a Feature Pushbutton and a Status LED. These items may be installed remotely in your vehicle. See your OEM manual for location information. For example:

• The status LED may be installed where it can be seen in the dashboard as a security feature, such as showing the alarm being armed
• The pushbutton may be installed for the operator to have easier access to it

Feature Push button

• Used to initialize different programming modes of the Controller
  • Synchronizing e-FOBs
  • Keypad programming initialization
  • Training wireless switches (such as door ajar sensor)
  • Emergency override procedure. See page below

Status LED

• Red/Green LED plugged into C6-Red Port of the Controller
• Indicates system status.
  • OFF is normal status, alarm disarmed
  • Blinking Red Slow- once every 5-10 seconds = Alarm Armed
  • Blinking Red Fast- twice per second = Alarm Tripped
  • ON Red steady- up to 10 seconds = FOB synchronization mode
  • ON Green Steady-wireless switch synchronization mode

RF antenna

• 42.5inch/107.5cm tinned wire antenna
• Fully extend for best reception. DO NOT TRIM
• For the best reception route away from metal surfaces
• Do not bundle in with other wires or against metal cored ducting

Emergency Override Procedure
To disarm the alarm in the case of lost FOBs, forgotten Entry Codes or equipment failure. The pushbutton in conjunction with the ignition input C1 pin2 allow for the Alarm mode to be reset.

1. Turn the ignition to ON. If the OEM did not equip it, manually apply 12 volts to C1 Pin2. (yellow wire).
2. Press and hold the Feature pushbutton for 3 seconds or until the status LED stops flashing.
3. Turn the ignition to OFF. If manually applied, remove the 12 volts applied to C1 Pin2. (yellow wire).
4. Release the Feature pushbutton.

DIP switch assignments
The discrete system controller has 12 DIP (dual inline position) switches. These switches are used to change the relationship between the system controller and the FOBs and other inputs to the controller in relation to the outputs of the controller.
The setting of these switches should be done with the assistance of either your OEM, service personnel, or TriMark tech support. Changing these switches can result in negative and/or undesirable results if the proper usage of them is not understood.
The DIP switches are located on the long side of the controller with only one connector on it.
Down to the base is ON, up toward cover is OFF.

This table explains in general the function and usage of the DIP switches. Default settings are OFF.

Wireless Switches
Wireless switches are rare and primarily used prior to 2010. Wireless switches operate on a 433 MHz RF signal from the switch to the e-FOB receiver. Their sole purpose is to trigger the alarm system which is accomplished by sending an RF message that the switch was triggered. There are several types: magnetic contact, motion, and shock sensors. TriMark no longer sells these, but they are available from several sources. Since we no longer sell these, we cannot provide recommendations.

Synchronizing Wireless Switches

1. Gather sensors to be used.
2. With the ignition off and alarm disarmed.
3. With Status LED and Feature pushbutton installed, press the pushbutton 5 times.
   • In 2 seconds, the Status LED will light GREEN.
4. Select a memory location (1 through 25) for the sensor.
5.  Press the Feature push button a matching number of times to that desired position (1-25).
6.  The status LED will flash red when position is selected.
7. Activate the sensor. The horn and siren output will activate once if switch is detected.
8.  Repeat steps 4 and 5 to train additional sensors

Notes on synchronizing Sensors.

• The Status LED turns off after 10 seconds of inactivity and the system will be fully functional.
• The sensors in memory are not lost on a power loss to the controller.
• To erase all sensors.
• Ensure Indicator LED plugged into the controller is not flashing.
  • If flashing perform unlock to disarm the alarm. Or perform emergency override. Page 8
  • Verify the Status LED and Feature pushbutton are properly installed.
  • If still flashing perform emergency override if necessary.
  • Ensure ignition is ON, = 12 volts on the power input connector C1 pin2.
  • Press the Feature Pushbutton 10 times.
  • The horn and siren, (if equipped) will sound once to indicate that the sensors are erased.

Chapter 3: Keypad / e-GRAB Operation and Features

Programming, use, and default codes are slightly different if you have two numbers per button or one button in a doorbell configuration keypad.

ALL TRIMARK KEYPADS USE 5-DIGIT aCODES, NO more, NO less.

• The authority code is used to create entry codes
• The entry codes are used to unlock the vehicle

This allows for the owner to have one code and make separate codes for someone else.

Default Authority and Entry Codes

It is strongly recommended that you change all default codes to codes that you choose. Default codes are commonly known.

Note: If a code has been changed and you don’t know what it is, please go to the Teaching Keypad New Authority / Entry Codes section.

Keypads Can Store Multiple Entry Codes

• Entry codes can be stored as one Entry code per numbered button on the keypad. Doorbell keypads have 4 numbered buttons, so it can store 4 Entry codes. Standard keypads have 5 numbered buttons so they can store 5 different entry codes
• These Entry codes do not allow different functions, they only allow for multiple users

Keypad Output Functions
The keypad can store one authority code and four entry codes.

• Outputs are accomplished after the ENTRY CODE is entered AND a selection is made (+ Button Option)
• The DOORBELL button is ignored when entering user codes and cannot be configured to be used to enter different codes.
• When the ENTRY CODE is entered into the keypad properly the keypad will emit a two-beep tone
• After the two-beep tone there is a 5 second window to select a button option for an OUTPUT
• If no selection is made during the 5 second window the keypad returns to normal mode
• OUTPUTS ARE IN THE CHART BELOW

Standard Keypad Entry Code| + Button Option| Secure Output| Doorbell Keypad Entry Code| + Button Option| Secure Output
---|---|---|---|---|---
1,3,5,7,9| 1/2| Entry Unlock| 1,2,3,4,4| 1| Entry Unlock
1,3,5,7,9| 3/4| 2nd Unlock (cargos)| 1,2,3,4,4| 2| 2nd Unlock (Cargos)
1,3,5,7,9| 5/6| N/A| 1,2,3,4,4| 3| N/A
1,3,5,7,9| 7/8| Entry & 2nd Unlock| 1,2,3,4,4| 4| Entry & 2nd Unlock
1,3,5,7,9| 9/0| Toggle Dome Light| 1,2,3,4,4| DB| N/A

Locking
No Code is REQUIRED to Lock

• Simply pressing the 1 button for 2 seconds causes the system to perform a Lock All command
• Keypads do not have separate commands for lock entry or lock cargo, they can only Lock All

Unlock the Entrance Door
Enter a valid 5-digit Entry Code (double beep from keypad) followed by button 1 or (1/2)

Example/default codes are shown, your codes should be different. The important item to note is the output that is expected with the 6th button press (+ button option).

Unlock Bay/Cargo Doors
Enter a valid 5-digit Entry Code (double beep from keypad) followed by button 2 or (3/4).

Unlock All Doors
Enter a valid 5-digit Entry Code (double beep from keypad) followed by button 4 or (7/8).
Doorbell (Not available on Standard Keypad)
Pressing this button at any time without a code will cause C4P8 to toggle to ground momentarily which is wired to a doorbell if your motorhome is equipped with one.

Keypad Backlighting
Keypad buttons are lit when pressed and turn off 30 seconds after the last button is pressed.

Lockout Mode
If no Correct ENTRY CODE is entered in 20 button presses the keypad is disabled for 60 seconds. During this 60 second Lockout, the keypad will not beep or respond when buttons are pressed. This feature helps prevent random button attacks.

Dome Light Activation
Any time you press a button on the keypad, the dome light is activated for 30 seconds. When multiple buttons are pressed, the dome light will stay on for 30 seconds from the last button pressed. Pressing either Entry Door or Cargo Door Unlock buttons on Fobs also cause the dome light to activate for 30 seconds.

Keypad Buzzer Feedback

• In normal code entry mode, the keypad will emit 1 short 200mS beep per button press every time
• When the ENTRY CODE is properly entered the keypad will emit two short beeps
• During code reprogramming mode the keypad will emit two short beeps per button press
  • This will be covered in depth in the section “Programming the Authority Code”
• On normal power up and keypad reset the keypad will emit a longer 1 second beep
• Three, longer 1-second beeps indicate brownout
  • Brownout means that the keypad is seeing less than 9 volts to its power input e- GRAB Handle Lighting
  • The E-Grab handle rod lighting is an LED, in the upper chrome portion of the handle
  • It is powered by a separate source and is wired by the OEM specifically for your coach

Teaching Keypad New Authority / Entry Codes
Please read all the steps in the process before attempting to change the authority code. Know what to expect and pay attention to the appropriate beeps the keypad provides as feedback that you are correctly following the process.
All codes are exactly 5 digits. You may reuse numbers. Changing the Authority Code erases all Entry Codes. It is highly recommended that you change your Authority Code from the default authority code. Select a new authority before you start this process.

Note: There is a video of how to do this (it will not play on Apple tablets). https://www.trimarkcorp.com/en/media/Videos/eask/All%20Keypads/index.html

There are two options to put the keypad into Authority Code Learn mode:
Method One: Have a 5 Digit Authority Code chosen before starting!
Useful when you do not have access to the control module, or the ignition input has not been wired (C1 P2). The keypad is plugged into the coach’s wiring harness with an 8 or 9 pin connector. You need to remove the keypad and housing and pull the wires away from the coach to expose this connector. The yellow wire that is in the keypad connector that initiates Authority Code programming mode.

1. With the keypad still plugged in, short the yellow wire to the black wire (GND) momentarily (or press the switch on the steering column if your motor home is equipped with one). This causes the keypad to beep for three seconds, remove the short before the beep stops.

2. Enter the desired 5-digit Authority Code, the keypad will beep twice per button press.

3. After the 5th digit is entered, The Keypad will beep 3 times.

4. Enter the 5-digit Authority Code again. The keypad will beep twice per button press.

5. If the Authority Code is entered twice correctly the keypad will beep 4 times.

6. If the Authority Code is entered incorrectly, or mistakes are made the keypad
   Emits a long beep to indicate a failure to change the code.

7.  After programming the system immediately exits Authority Code learn mode.

8. Test your new Authority code by using it as your temporary Entry Code.

9. . If you are looking for simple, and only need 1 entry code, you can be done at this point and the Authority Code and Entry Code are the same 5-digit code. This is not recommended, but you only need to remember 1 code. You can test by entering your 5-digit code followed by the desired output button. (1), for example will unlock the entry door.

For greater security, we recommend you use an authority and one or more entry codes.

Method Two:
Useful when the controller power input C1 P2 is wired to the ignition circuit, and the Feature pushbutton is installed.

1. Turn on the ignition. This puts 12 volts on C1 Pin2.
2. Press the Feature pushbutton 3 times.
3. After 3 seconds the keypad will emit a 3 second beep.
4. The keypad is now in Learning mode.
5. Enter your new Authority Code.
6. If you are in learning mode button presses will respond with double beeps.
7. On the fifth button press the keypad will emit THREE short beeps.
8. Re-enter your New Authority Code.
9. On the fifth button press the keypad will emit FOUR short beeps.
10. Your Authority Code is now reset and is also your position one Entry Code.
11.  Test your Authority Code by using it as your temporary Entry Code.

Keypad programming notes.

• The keypad exits learning mode automatically when the Authority code is relearned.
• The Authority Code should only be used to change the Entry Codes. Not left as an Entry Code.
• The Authority Code should be maintained by the owner and distribute Entry codes to others.
• If your keypad is not emitting double beeps during the learning process it is not in learning mode.
• If your keypad emits a LONG 1 second beep, then single beeps after that, mistakes in the code entry were made and it has left learning mode.

Note: We recommend changing the Entry Code when a vehicle is acquired or sold. The system automatically clears all Entry Codes and stores an Entry Code the same as your Authority Code in location button 1 any time the Authority Code is changed.

Programming Entry Codes
All codes are exactly 5 digits. You may reuse numbers. Have a number chosen before you start.

1. Press and hold button 5/6 (3 for Doorbell keypads), for 5 seconds. The keypad beeps again and begins flashing when it is held long enough.

2. Enter the 5-digit Authority Code. The keypad will double beep with every button press.

3. If you enter the correct Authority Code, you will hear a constant beep – continue to step 4.

4. If you enter the incorrect Authority Code, you will hear a 1 second beep. Please double check the Authority Code. You then need to go back to step 1.

5. Choose a location to store this code by pressing a location button once.
   Button 1 = Location 1 Button 2 = Location 2 Button 3= Location 3
   Button 4 = Location 4 Button 5 = Location 5 (only standard keypads)
   (Constant beep will end when a location selected)

6. Enter the desired 5-digit Entry Code. The keypad will beep twice per button press. If the keypadis not double beeping with every button press, the keypad is not in learn mode, go back to step1.

7. Enter the desired 5-digit Entry Code again. The keypad will beep twice per button press.

   • the Entry Code is entered twice correctly the keypad will beep 4 times.
   • If the Entry Code is entered incorrectly or mistakes are made the keypad does a longbeep to indicate a failure to program an entry code.
     Test your Entry Code by entering the 5-digit code followed by button 1/2 or 1 and the entry doorwill unlock.

Entry code notes:

• You may store up to 4 codes in the system for doorbell keypads, 5 codes for standardkeypads. You may write over a location by simply programming an entry code over thatlocation.
• If while inputting the Entry code, the keypad emits a long one second beep and stops double beeping, mistakes were made, the keypad leaves code entry mode and the codes will not be changed.
• If code entry mode is entered but no codes are entered after 60 seconds. The keypad will timeout and exit code entry mode and no codes will be changed.
• If you select a position that already has an Entry code stored in it and

Appendix A: Coin Cell Battery Warning

WARNING: TriMark Keyless Entry Fobs contain a lithium button/coin cell battery. Keep coin cell batteries out of reach of children.

1. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and keep away from children. Do NOT dispose of batteries in household trash or incinerate.
2. Even used batteries may cause severe injury or death.
3. Call the National Battery Ingestion Hotline (800-498-8666) or the Poison Help Line (800- 222-1222) immediately for treatment information if you suspect a child has swallowed or is exposed to button cell or coin batteries.
4. The compatible battery type is CR2032.
5. The nominal battery voltage is 3V.
6. Non-rechargeable batteries such as the CR2032 are not to be recharged.
7. Do not force discharge, recharge, disassemble, heat above (manufacturer’s specified temperature rating) or incinerate. Doing so may result in injury due to venting, leakage or explosion resulting in chemical burns.
8. Ensure the batteries are installed correctly according to polarity (+ and -).
9. Do not mix old and new batteries, different brands or types of batteries, such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, or rechargeable batteries.
10. Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of batteries from equipment not used for an extended period of time according to local regulations.

Appendix B: Wiring Diagram

Wiring Diagram – Lock/Unlock 2-Bank Staggered/Cargo System

Notes:
Additional door actuators can be installed in parallel on each bank (i.e. connecting all blue wires together on every relay on the same bank) as appropriate based on amp draw from actuators and amp rating on relays If amp draw from actuators exceeds the rating of the relay, add an additional relay in parallel (I.E. Connect C4-Pin10 and C4-Pin11 to the 86 terminal of an additional relay pair for more Bank 2 capacity)

Wiring Diagram – Accessory Connections
Notes: Connectors are shown oriented with the locking tab on top and the wires toward the reader. All accessory connections are optional, and are not necessary for locking/unlocking operations to function.

Appendix C: Installing Components

This system uses low-voltage circuitry and wireless communication. To protect these components and to ensure the device operates as expected, these application notes must be followed.

RF Antenna Guidelines
Typical RF antenna implementation consists of a single wire from the control module. To ensure optimal reception the RF antenna wire should be designed to the following specifications:

Wire Length: 107.5cm +/- 1cm
Wire Type: 22AWG, Braided tinned

The tip of the antenna wire should also be covered with heat shrink tube or plastic dip to prevent the possibility of bare wire contacting vehicle chassis locations and grounding the antenna.
The RF antenna should be placed in an interior location that does not shield RF signals. You may need to try multiple locations to optimize reception. The antennae must be left fully extended and exposed.
Minimize shielding from metal enclosures or chassis body panels that could act as a ground plane.
Looping the antenna, wrapping the antenna around a metallic object, or grouping the antenna wire in with another wire harness may affect the operating range of the remote key Fobs. Routing of the antenna wire near wires with large or rapid voltage fluctuations may also have a detrimental effect on Fob communication. If the antenna wire must be routed with other wires due to vehicle design constraints, care should be taken in harness manufacturing to ensure the antenna wire is routed on the outside of the wire harness bundle and away from wires that have large or rapid voltage fluctuations.
