Keyless EntryAccess Control System  
Installation and Operations Manual  
 
Introduction  
Input Requirements  
The KE-265 accepts 12 to 24 volts AC/DC. An optional  
battery charging module and rechargeable Gel Cells are  
available to keep the system operational for up to 24 hours  
during a power interruption. System current draw (maximum):  
Standby: 10mA at 12 volts, 25mA at 24 volts  
During Operation: .25 amps max (with illuminated  
Keypad)  
Overview  
The KE-265 is an easy to program, easy to use, stand-alone  
Keyless Entry® system with features suitable for basic access  
control requirements. Providing either a voltage output or dry  
contact closure, the KE-265 is designed to control any fail-safe  
or fail-secure electric locking device.  
The KE-265 features one master code and five user codes.  
Two relay outputs are available to provide a variety of access  
control configurations including single door operation with an  
auxiliary output for a CCTV/Light Controller, a Gate/Garage  
Door controller or Doorbell activation or the KE-265 can be  
configured for two door operation.  
IMPORTANT: The maximum current draw allowed is 1 amp.  
(3 amps with battery back-up for fail-secure applications only.)  
Check the specifications of your locking device. Make sure  
that the locking device and the KE-265 (.25 amps) combined  
draw less than 1 amp. For locking devices that draw more  
current, a separate power supply is required. (See Appendix B  
– Page 24)  
System Specifications  
Note: If connecting DC, make the connections to “DC  
IN/OUT” instead of “12-24V AC/DC IN” (see Circuit Board

Note: If connecting DC, make the connections to  
“DC IN/OUT” instead of “12-24V AC/DC IN”. Make  
sure the polarity is correct.  
Install the Wiring Cable  
1. Drill a ½” hole in the inside wall or ceiling where you want  
the cable to come through.  
2. Pull the cable through the hole so the connector end goes  
to the keypad. Route it so there is minimal cable at the  
keypad.  
IMPORTANT: The “EARTH” screw terminal on  
Terminal Strip “A” should be connected to a true earth  
ground for proper system protection and operation.  
Note: Supplied with the system is a 12-conductor cable  
designed to connect the keypad to the control module.  
You will also need a three-conductor cable (not included)  
to connect the control module to the electric strike or other  
locking device.  
Connecting the Locking Device  
Connect the electric locking device to Terminal Strip “B” as  
outlined in the Typical Wiring Diagram (Appendix B – Page  
24). Any 3 conductor, 18 gauge wire can be used to connect  
the Control Module to the Locking Device. Included with each  
system are two MOV’s (metal oxide varistor). The function of  
the MOV is to absorb any inductive kickback from the locking  
device, protecting the circuit board. The MOV’s have been  
installed under the relay contact screws and can be left there  
for normal “FAIL SECURE” lock operation. For “FAIL SAFE”  
locks, move one leg from the “N.O.” screw to the “N.C.” screw  
(see Appendix B). If possible, install the MOV closer to the  
electric lock. If switching voltages higher than 36V, remove  
the MOV. To provide proper grounding, connect the 3rd wire  
from the body of the locking device to the “EARTH” screw on  
Terminal “A”  
Mount the Keypad  
1. Attach the wiring connector to the Keypad.  
2. Attach the Keypad to the wall.  
3. Do NOT attach the Keypad labels until the system is  
tested.  
Prepare the Door for the Electric Strike  
Follow these instructions only if you are using an electric strike  
to unlock the door. If you are using the main relay to activate  
a garage door, automatic gate, etc., skip this section. The new  
electric strike should be checked to verify compatibility with  
existing door hardware prior to installation.  
1. Remove existing strike.  
2. Follow directions included with the strike for preparing the  
doorjamb.  
3. Do NOT mount the strike at this time.  
Battery Backup  
Although battery backup is NOT required for User Code  
retention, you may wish to connect an optional Essex battery  
charging module (part no. BC-01) and rechargeable Gel Cells  
to the KE-265 to provide operation during a power interruption.  
Installing the Control Module  
1. Connect the Wiring Cable to Terminal Strip “A” following  
the color sequence on the circuit board. (Appendix A –  
Page 23) NOTE: If the wiring cable has been cut shorter  
than 15 feet, the tan wire will become exposed. The tan  
wire is NOT used with the KE-265.  
Note: Although the system will operate on DC input, DC will  
not charge the batteries for backup. If you require battery back  
up, make sure your input is AC. Rechargeable batteries must  
be used for back up.  
2. Connect 12 to 24 Volts AC to Terminal Strip “B” to screws  
marked “12-24V AC/DC IN”. If using an Essex external AC  
Adaptor, connect BLUE and BROWN to the 12-24V input  
screws. Connect GREEN to the “EARTH” screw on  
Terminal Strip “A”. Plug adapter into a grounded (three  
terminal) receptacle.

System Hardware Setup  
The Factory Default Settings are shown here:  
1. All User Unlock Authorization  
Remote By-Pass  
Factory Default Settings  
is configured for Relay #1.  
(Master Code and Users 1,2  
and Users 3,4,5).  
In some cases, it may be necessary to control the door from a  
remote area such as a security station or reception desk. The  
KE-265 provides for a Remote By-Pass (Exit Switch) or  
Keypad override. This can be accomplished by connecting a  
normally open switch to the “REMOTE” screw terminals on the  
circuit board (Appendix A – Page 23). When the Remote By-  
Pass switch is depressed, the contact bypasses the Keypad  
and activates the relay tied to “1, 2 UNLOCK” (see Setting  
Relay Options). The relay is activated for the same time  
length as the programmed Door Open Time (see  
2. No Code is set for Latching  
Authorization of either relay.  
3. Neither CCTV nor  
DOORBELL is active.  
Programming Door Open Time).  
User Unlock Authorization  
Placing jumpers across the  
first 3 sets of pins (MASTER  
UNLOCK, 1,2 UNLOCK or  
3,4,5 UNLOCK) determines  
which relay (if any) each  
User Group is authorized to  
activate.  
Ex: User Unlock Authorization  
Anti-Tailgating  
Some security applications require stricter door monitoring.  
Anti-tailgating can be accomplished by installing a normally  
closed door monitor switch to the “DOOR MONITOR” screw  
terminals on the circuit board (Appendix A). This switch may  
be the output of a latch monitor switch, a monitor maglock or  
an alarm switch that senses door movement. When this  
switch opens, it will relock the door. (Note: If a door monitor  
switch is NOT used, you must jump the “MONITOR” screw  
terminals with the factory installed wire.)  
When a valid code is entered,  
the door will remain unlocked  
for the programmed Door  
Open Time. (See Programming Door Open Time)  
Example:  
Setting Relay Options  
1. Placing a jumper across the 2nd and 3rd pins of the  
“MASTER UNLOCK” option allows the master code to  
activate (unlock) Relay #1.  
The KE-265 provides a variety of options for configuring both  
relays. These options include User Unlock Authorization,  
Latching Authorization and CCTV/Doorbell setup. Configuring  
these options is accomplished by setting jumpers on the  
Control Module circuit board. To set relay options, first locate  
the relay jumpers (3 rows of 7 pins). Next to each set of three  
pins, there is a description of the option to be configured.  
Placing jumpers across the 1st & 2nd pins, the 2nd & 3rd pins  
or no pins at all determines how each option is configured.  
2. Placing a jumper across the 1st and 2nd pins of the “1,2  
UNLOCK” option allows User Code 1 and User Code 2  
to activate Relay #2.  
3. Leaving a jumper off the “3,4,5 UNLOCK” option  
prevents User Code 3, User Code 4 and User Code 5  
from activating either relay.  
To set an Option for Relay #1 Î Place jumper across 2nd & 3rd pins.  
To set an Option for Relay #2 Î Place jumper across 1st & 2nd pins.  
To set an Option for No Relay Î Don’t place jumper across 1st & 2nd  
or 2nd & 3rd pins.  
10  
11  
 
 
Latching Authorization  
Placing jumpers across the 4th  
and 5th set of pins (1,2 LATCH  
or 3,4,5 LATCH) determines  
which relay (if any) each User  
Group is authorized to  
2nd Door Operation  
The KE-265 has been  
Ex: Latching Authorization  
Ex: 2 Door Configuration  
designed to provide 2 door  
operation with one or more  
Keypads. With this  
configuration, certain codes  
will activate Relay #1 and  
certain codes will activate  
Relay #2. (Connect Relay #2  
to the 2nd Locking Device)  
manually latch.  
How to Latch  
When a valid code is  
entered on the keypad  
followed by “7”, the Latch  
Authorization relay for that particular User Group will  
energize and remain energized until a valid code followed  
by “7” is entered again.  
Example:  
1. Placing a jumper across the 2nd and 3rd pins of the  
“MASTER UNLOCK” option allows the master code to  
activate (unlock) Relay #1.  
Example:  
1. Placing a jumper across the 1st and 2nd pins of the “1, 2  
LATCH” option allows User 1 and User 2 to Latch  
Relay #2.  
2. Placing a jumper across the 2nd and 3rd pins of the “1,2  
UNLOCK” option allows User Code 1 and User Code 2  
to activate (unlock) Relay #1.  
2. Leaving a jumper off the “3,4,5 LATCH” option  
prevents User 3, User 4 and User 5 from latching either  
relay.  
3. Placing a jumper across the 1st and 2nd pins of the  
“3,4,5 UNLOCK” option allows User Code 3, User  
Code 4 and User Code 5 to activate (unlock) Relay #2  
4. In this example, User Code 1 and User Code 2 have  
also been given Latching Authorization for Relay #1.  
Note: Because the Master Code is primarily used to  
program User codes, the Master Code does not have  
Latching Authorization.  
Note: In order for 2 Door configuration to operate correctly,  
be sure to remove any jumpers across the CCTV option and  
the Doorbell option.  
CCTV/Doorbell Setup  
Placing jumpers across the 6th or  
Ex: CCTV Setup  
7th set of pins (CCTV or  
DOORBELL) determines which  
relay (if any) will be used to  
activate a CCTV or Doorbell.  
Tamper Alarm Lockout  
CCTV Operation: If either  
relay is configured to  
activate a CCTV, any key  
press on the Keypad triggers  
a 10 second output.  
A person attempting to gain entry by guessing the code and  
pushing 25 wrong digits will cause the KE-265 to go into  
tamper alarm mode. The Keypad will beep constantly for 30  
seconds during which time the door will remain locked and no  
keypad functions can be performed.  
Doorbell Operation: If either relay is configured to activate  
a doorbell, pressing at the Keypad triggers a 1 second  
output. (Doorbell only functions with 12-Pad 3x4 or  
Thinline 2x6)

System Programming  
Programming the Master Code  
To Program/Change the Master Code:  
1. Select a 3 to 8 digit code that will be used for the  
Master Code.  
Overview of System Code Programming  
There are TWO levels of codes for the KE-265 system.  
1. The Master Code (used to open the door and for  
programming User Codes)  
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___  
2. Locate the Control Module, remove the cover and  
locate the “PROGRAM” switch on the circuit board.  
3. Press the PROGRAM switch once *. (The Keypad will  
beep rapidly 4 times)  
4. At the Keypad, enter 1-1-1-9 to open the memory (you  
will hear three rapid beeps) and immediately enter your  
new Master code.  
(Do not let more than five seconds elapse between  
entries or the system will reset!!!)  
5. After entering your new code, wait five seconds for the  
3 reset beeps.  
2. User Codes (used by personnel to open the door)  
IMPORTANT: Notes to remember before programming:  
1. All codes must be 3 to 8 digits.  
2. All codes must be different from each other.  
Note: 5-Pad Keypads have two digits on each pad.  
The system reads these numbers as the same.  
For example: 1-3-5-7-9 is the same as 2-4-6-8-0.  
3. Do not program codes, which are part of other codes.  
For example: User Code 1 Î 1-2-3-4-5 and User  
Code 2 Î 1-2-3  
4. During programming, the system resets after 5  
seconds if a number is not entered. Do not let more  
than 5 seconds elapse between entries or the system  
will reset and you will have to start over.  
* Once the PROGRAM switch has been pressed, you  
have 2 minutes to begin programming.  
Overview of User Codes  
There are a total of 5 User codes (also called Secondary  
Codes) that can be programmed into the KE-265. User Codes  
can vary in length from 3 to 8 digits. Each User Code is  
programmed into one of 5 User Locations. These Locations  
are as follows:  
Overview of the Master Code  
Knowledge of the Master Code is the highest privilege granted  
to a user of the KE-265 system. There is only one master  
code, which is used to program each of the 5 User Codes.  
The factory default Master Code, “1-3-5-7-9”, can be used for  
initial programming but should be changed to a unique 3 to 8  
digit code.  
User #  
User Location  
User Code 1 Î 1-1-1  
User Code 2 Î 1-1-3  
User Code 3 Î 1-1-5  
The Master Code can be configured to activate either Relay #1  
or Relay #2 depending on how the system hardware is set up  
(see Setting Relay Options Î page 10). However, the Master  
Code cannot be configured to Latch either relay.  
User Code 4 Î 1-1-7  
User Code 5 Î 1-1-9  
Once a User Code has been programmed into a User  
Location, the User Code can be easily changed or deleted  
from the system (see Programming User Codes).  
Latching and User Code Unlocking Authorization is  
determined by how each relay is configured. (see Setting  
Relay Options Î page 10)

desired Door Open Time. Each valid key press (a “1” or  
a “5”) will generate a double beep. (Do not let more  
than five seconds elapse between entries or the  
system will reset!!!)  
To Program a New User Code or Change an Existing User  
Code:  
1. Choose a new 3 to 8 digit code that will be used for this  
User Code. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___  
2. Decide which User Location to place this User Code  
(see Overview of User Codes)  
3. Enter the Master Code, followed by the User Location  
(you will hear three rapid beeps) and immediately enter  
the new User Code. (Do not let more than five seconds  
elapse between entries or the system will reset!!!)  
Example: 1-3-5-7-9 1-1-1 1-2-3-4  
Example: “1-1-1-7 5-5-5-1-1” Î 17 seconds  
5. After entering your Door Open Time, wait five seconds  
for the 3 reset beeps.  
To Program/Change the Door Open Time for User Code 3,4  
and 5:  
(Rev B and later)  
1. First determine the length of time you wish to program  
as the Door Open Time for these users. This is the  
length of time the door will remain open after a valid  
User Code 3, User Code 4 or User Code 5 has been  
entered into the system.  
Note: For controlling a garage door or electric gate,  
you will need to set the door open time to 1 second.  
2. Locate the Control Module, remove the cover and  
locate the “PROGRAM” switch on the circuit board.  
3. Press the PROGRAM switch once *. (The Keypad will  
beep rapidly 4 times)  
4. At the Keypad, enter 1-1-1-5 to open the memory (you  
will hear three rapid beeps) and enter a combination of  
“1’s” (for every one second increment) and “5’s” (for  
every five second increment) that equal your desired  
Door Open Time. Each valid key press (a “1” or a “5”)  
will generate a double beep. (Do not let more than five  
seconds elapse between entries or the system will  
reset!!!)  
4. After entering your new code, wait five seconds for the  
3 reset beeps.  
To Delete a User Code

length of time the door will remain open after a valid  
Master Code, User Code 1 or User Code 2 has been  
entered into the system.  
Note: For controlling a garage door or electric gate,  
you will need to set the door open time to 1 second  
2. Locate the Control Module, remove the cover and  
locate the “PROGRAM” switch on the circuit board.  
3. Press the PROGRAM switch once *. (The Keypad will  
beep rapidly 4 times)  
4. At the Keypad, enter 1-1-1-7 to open the memory (you  
will hear three rapid beeps) and enter a combination of  
“1’s” (for every one second increment) and  
Example: “1-1-1-5 1-1-5” Î 7 seconds  
5. After entering your Door Open Time, wait five seconds  
for the 3 reset beeps.  
Notes: * Once the PROGRAM switch has been pressed,  
you have 2 minutes to begin programming. You will hear a  
double beep with each valid key press. Once you begin  
entering the combination of 1’s and 5’s do not let more  
than five seconds elapse between entries or the system  
will reset!!! Maximum Door Open Time is 120 seconds.

Troubleshooting  
Remember that all six codes have to be different  
from each. It is also important not to let more than  
5 seconds elapse between button presses or the  
system will reset and you will have to start over.  
These are a few troubleshooting suggestions to help assist with  
any problems you may experience. If the problem continues or is  
not answered here, please call Essex technical support at (800)  
KEYLESS Î (800) 539-5377. You can also visit Essex anytime at

For an existing Installation:  
There are typically two reasons for code loss: static or  
inductive kickback. There is no way to determine if the  
system has been affected by either of these, however, you  
can reprogram the system codes as described in User  
Code Programming. It is very important the system is  
properly grounded and the MOV has been installed,  
otherwise static and code loss may be an ongoing  
problem.  
I Changed or Deleted a code, but the old code still unlocks  
the door  
Remember there are a total of 6 User Codes for the KE-  
265. Make sure you changed the desired code. If you  
changed the Master Code, the other User Codes will still  
work. If in doubt, it is recommended you reprogram the  
master code and delete all 5 user codes. Then program  
any new user codes. (See System Programming page 14)  
The Door opens with the first press on the Keypad  
If the unit has just been installed, check the CCTV jumper  
(see Setting Relay Options – Page 10). If you do not have  
a CCTV connected to the KE-265, make sure the CCTV  
jumper is NOT installed across the1st and 2nd pins or the  
2nd and 3rd pins.  
The Keypad beeps normally but the door does not unlock  
For a new installation:  
1) Check the specifications of your power supply and  
locking device. (See Input Requirements page 3.)  
Note: If you are connecting 12VDC, make the  
connections to "DC IN/OUT" instead of "12-24V  
AC/DC IN" (see Circuit Board Layout - Page 23).  
Make sure polarity is correct.  
Keypad is completely dead  
Interrupted Power - First check your power supply to see  
that power has not been cut off. Using a voltmeter, check  
the incoming voltage on terminal strip “B” (12-24V AC/DC  
IN). If the voltage reads low, the electric locking device  
may be drawing too much current. To test, remove the  
wires to the device and recheck the voltage. If the voltage  
now reads normal, check the current draw of the locking  
device and make sure it falls within the system  
2) Test the wiring hookup to the primary locking device  
(the device connected to User Code 1, 2 Unlock). On the  
control module circuit board, locate and momentarily short  
the screws for "REMOTE"(See page 23). This will activate  
the output (same as if you enter a valid programmed code  
at the Keypad).  
specifications (see Input Requirements – page 3).  
If this test does not activate the lock, check the lock  
wiring (see Typical Wiring Diagrams - page 24). If  
your wiring is correct, check the KE-265 relay  
settings (see Setting Relay Options - page 10).  
Blown Fuse - Check the fuse on the circuit board. The  
purpose is to protect the power supply and circuitry. If  
your locking device is drawing too much current or there is  
a short, the fuse will blow. Replace with a 2 amp slo blo  
only. A spare fuse is provided in the spare parts kit.  
Although the fuse may appear intact, it is best to check  
with a voltmeter.  
If this test does activate the output (you should  
hear the relay click and the locking device should  
unlock), reprogram the Master Code and User  
Codes. Review Overview of System Code  
Programming (Page 14).
