If PolySwitch #1 has tripped, visually inspect the four large diodes on the board to see if a loose wire has fallen on them to create a short circuit. If you do not find such a physical problem that can be easily corrected, the board should be replaced although you should be aware that it can be operated with no problems from a DC power supply connected into the DC input terminals if only PolySwitch #1 has tripped. Read the special case paragraph below for another possible cause if you are using AC power to operate a DC lock.
If PolySwitch #2 has tripped, and you are using DC power, make sure your input polarity is correct (see Figure 2). Reversing your input polarity will trip PolySwitch #2. Otherwise, look for any loose wires that could be creating a short circuit anywhere on the board. If you can’t correct the fault that is tripping PolySwitch #2, the board must be replaced. Read the special case paragraph below for another possible cause if you are using AC power to operate a DC lock.
In the special case of AC power operating a DC lock (see Figure 4), a short circuit in the external lock or lock wiring will trip either PolySwitch #1 or #2 (but not both). Attempt to reset the PolySwitch after disconnecting the external lock to determine if this is the problem.
If PolySwitch #3 has tripped, the overload condition is in the keypad wiring or in terminals SRC, REX, UCD and HCD. Carefully make sure that all keypad wires are connected to the correct terminals. If they are, temporarily disconnect the keypad and attempt to reset PolySwitch #3 by
This is a diagnostic feature which indicates that one of the keys is being read as down (always being pressed). In that condition, the CPU board will not be able to read any other keys. It can happen because of mechanical failure within the switch element such that the key really is down, or keypad wires that are shorted to each other. The latter problem usually happens when insulation is scraped off some of the wires in the keypad cable as it’s being pulled through the door frame. You may be able to restore operation by rapping on all the keys. If this works, however, it is likely only a temporary fix and you should be prepared to change the keypad. Next, check the wiring of the keypad cable into the board (see Figure 2). If you don’t see any problems, the keypad will need to be replaced but you can restore partial use, if you wish, while awaiting a replacement. Put the positive probe of a voltmeter on terminal WHT and successively apply the negative probe on terminals BLK, GRY, BRN, BGE, ORG, PNK, and VIO. “Good” terminals will read about 11 volts. Two terminals, however, will read about zero volts. Remove the wires from the two terminals which read zero volts. If you are wondering why a single down key does not create a single zero volt terminal read, you should understand that the keys are in a two of seven matrix so the one to one relationship doesn’t hold. When you remove the two wires from the zero volt reading terminals, you will disable several keys. You will be able to determine which keys are working by pressing each key and seeing which ones are echoed by a beep and LED flash. You can then establish a temporary Hard code using only the active keys by pressing the Hard Code button on the CPU board and following the instructions in Section 4.1.
PROBLEM-- A key isn’t echoed (no beep or LED flash)
This is the opposite of the above problem. A key is failing to be read when it is pressed. This can happen because of mechanical failure within the switch element such that the key will not close, or from a broken or
If the problem occurs on initial installation, usually it's caused by misunderstanding the programming instructions. Read them again carefully. Be sure you're not waiting more than 5 seconds between hitting keys as if you are, the
