Thanks. I hooked it up my keypad OK (+, NEG, D0, D1). I then created a user and used this page to get the HEX number:
http://cimmino.org/elk/
I then armed the system, typed in the 4 diget code that I entred above...and nothing. What am I doing wrong?
- Do I have to configure the AY? (I seems implied in the thread above)
- What is the "site code" from
http://cimmino.org/elk/ ... does it apply here?
There is some programming/setup that needs to be done in the keypad as well. Attached is the manual for the AYG64 (which should be identical other than the physical key arrangement), that includes the steps for programming. Specifically, you'll need to change the keypad transmission format to option #4 "4 Keys Binary + Facility Code, 26-Bit Wiegand", which is not the default. Keep the proximity card transmission format at the default of 26-Bit Wiegand. This manual will also tell you how to set the facility code if you want to use something other than the default of 0.
Site code is just an identifier that allows a controller to know which location or site a code is received from. Remember that this technology comes from the commercial world, so if you have a large building or collection of buildings with multiple readers that all run from a central controller, then you would want to to know not only who the user is (the PIN), but also what area they're trying to get into (the site code). Even if you have multiple readers in your home, the specific Elk keypad or M1KAM that it's connected to will give you the site, so the site code is irrelevant. You just need to make certain that you use the same code when generating codes and programming the AY.
You can also "learn" codes by directly from the keypad by using the following procedure:
1. On the Keypad, press the center ELK key.
2. Press 6 to jump directly to Menu 06 - Change
User Codes OR Use the UP or DOWN arrow
keys to scroll to the menu.
3. Press the RIGHT arrow key to select Menu 6.
Enter a Master user code (PIN) to gain
access to this menu.
4. Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to scroll to
the User Code location (001 to 099) where
the Prox card/fob is to be enrolled. OR enter
the three digit number, i.e., 050 for User 50.
5. Select CHG by pressing the RIGHT arrow key.
6. The keypad will display the existing 4 or 6
digit code that is programmed for this user
along with any programmed name.
7. Place a new (not previously enrolled) prox
card/fob near the UltraProx Weigand Reader.
The nominal read range is approximately 3"
from the front surface. The clam-shell type
prox cards generally have a better read range
than fobs. You may also just enter a PIN here rather than presenting a prox reader.
8. If the keypad accepts the new prox card/fob, it
will beep 3 times and display a 12 digit code,
which is part of the ID stored in the card/fob.
If the keypad rejects the prox card/fob, it will
produce a low error tone and display:
Code Not Authorized, Redo
The reject error may be caused by:
A. The card or fob has already been enrolled
(the M1 does not allow duplicate codes)
OR
B. The facility code stored in the prox card/fob
does not match the ELK facility code. The
UltraProx Weigand Reader can only read
cards/fobs which have the matching facility
code.
After learning a code this way, you can then update ELKRP by reading that user code from the system.
