How to Choose the Right Access Control Keypad

When selecting a keypad for your South African site, weigh these core criteria:

• Indoor vs outdoor mounting: Choose weatherproof if exposed to rain or dust.
• Electrical compatibility: Check the voltage (12V or 24V DC) and relay output vehicle (confirm with your lock type's draw).
• User management: Pick a model with enough programmable codes/users for your staff or tenants.
• Integration: If you plan to link with alarms or central management, look for Wiegand/RS485 outputs.
• Anti-tamper: Some models feature switches or alarm outputs for tamper events.

Wiring Example: Typical Keypad-to-Lock Setup

Door Keypad (12V)
  +12V ---- Red wire ----------+12V from PSU
  0V  ---- Black wire -------- 0V (GND)
  NO  ---- Green wire -------- Relay NO to Lock +
  COM ---- White wire -------- Relay COM to PSU 0V
[Electric Lock-across NO/COM, powered when relay closes]

Always consult the unit's datasheet or manual for specific wiring conventions, as wire colours and relay terminal names may differ by manufacturer.
