4. Configuració i instal·lació
The Linear AK-11 keypad is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the power source is within the 12V-14V AC or DC range. The unit can be mounted on a wall or a gooseneck pedestal.
4.1 Connexions de cablejat
The keypad typically requires connections for power (positive and ground) and relay control to operate a gate or other access device. For power, connect the red wire to the positive terminal and the black wire to the ground terminal. For gate control, one of the internal relays (e.g., Relay 1) can be used. Connect the appropriate relay output wires to the gate operator's input terminals (e.g., IN2 and Ground for a toggle open function).
Always refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with your gate operator or access control board for precise connection points. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits and ensure safe operation.
5. Funcionament
Once installed and powered, the keypad is ready for operation. Access is granted by entering a valid code. The keypad also features a programmable down light for improved visibility.
5.1 Adding and Deleting Access Codes
The Linear AK-11 allows for easy management of access codes directly from the keypad. The default admin code is 123456.
- Start Programming Mode: Entra
#9 123456(replace 123456 with your admin code if changed). The red light on the keypad will turn off, and both lights will be out, indicating it's ready for commands. - Add New Code to Relay 1: Entra
01# [new code]# [new code]# 10#. Per example, to add code '1234', enter01# 1234# 1234# 10#. - Delete an Existing Code: Entra
02# [code to delete]# [code to delete]#. Per example, to delete code '1234', enter02# 1234# 1234#. - Start Over (if typing error): Entra
*9#to clear the current input and restart the command. - Stop Admin Mode: Entra
**#to exit programming mode and return to normal operation.
After successfully adding or deleting a code, the keypad will typically provide an audible confirmation. Always exit admin mode after making changes to ensure security.
6. Manteniment
The Linear AK-11 is built with a rugged cast-aluminum enclosure, designed to withstand outdoor conditions. Regular visual inspection of the keypad and its wiring connections is recommended to ensure continued reliable operation. Keep the keypad surface clean from dirt and debris.
For solar-powered gate systems utilizing this keypad, ensure the solar panel is clean and free from obstructions to maximize charging efficiency. Prolonged periods of cloudy weather can lead to battery depletion, potentially causing the keypad to emit a constant alarm tone due to low voltage. In such cases, the battery may need to be charged or replaced.
7. Solució De Problemes
7.1 Keypad Emits Constant Alarm Tone
If the Linear AK-11 keypad is continuously beeping or emitting an alarm tone, this is typically an indicator of a low voltage situation. This can occur if the power supply (e.g., battery in a solar setup) is not providing sufficient voltage a la unitat.
- Comproveu la font d'alimentació: Comproveu el voltage at the keypad's power input terminals. It should be within the 12V-14V AC or DC range.
- Inspect Battery (if applicable): If the system uses a battery (common in solar gate openers), check the battery's charge level. Charge or replace the battery if it is depleted or faulty.
- Solar Panel Performance: For solar-powered systems, ensure the solar panel is receiving adequate sunlight and is clean. Prolonged cloudy periods can prevent the battery from fully charging.
7.2 Keypad Not Responding to Code Entry
- Verifica l'alimentació: Ensure the keypad is receiving power and the lights are functioning.
- Check Admin Mode: Confirm that the keypad is not stuck in admin/programming mode. Exit admin mode using
**#. - Correct Code: Ensure the correct access code is being entered.
- Connexió de relé: Verify that the relay connections to the gate operator are secure and correct.
