Alarm Controls KP-100A – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Alarm Controls KP-100A keypad be mounted outdoors on an exterior door?
No. The KP-100A is an indoor-only keypad. Its rated operating range is -4F to +158F (-20C to +70C) at 5 to 95 percent relative humidity non-condensing, and the manufacturer states it is for indoor applications only, so a gate, an exterior entry, or an unconditioned dock door needs a weather-rated keypad instead. Temperature alone is not the limit here, moisture is.
2) Does the KP-100A keypad need a separate access control panel or controller?
No panel required. The KP-100A is a self-contained keypad, meaning codes are stored and programmed in the unit itself, right from the keypad, and it switches its own onboard relay. You wire power, the relay to your lock, and you are done. That is what makes it a fit for a single door where running a head-end controller is not worth it.
3) Will the KP-100A relay drive a magnetic lock or an electric strike?
The output is one SPDT dry contact rated 5A at 30 VDC max. Dry contact with both normally open and normally closed sides means it can switch either a fail safe device like a maglock or a fail secure device like most electric strikes, and the keypad is fail safe or fail secure capable. The relay does not supply power to the lock, it only switches it, so the lock still needs its own supply within that 5A/30 VDC contact rating.
4) Will the KP-100A keypad fit a single gang box, or does it need surface mounting?
Both are covered. The stainless steel plate is a single gang flush mount, so it drops onto an existing single gang box, and a surface mount back box ships with it for walls you cannot cut into. The keypad plate measures 2-3/4 W x 4-1/2 H x 5/32 D inches and the surface back box is 2-13/16 W x 4-5/8 H x 1-7/16 D inches, so the box projects about an inch and a half off the wall.
5) How many user codes does the KP-100A hold, and can I give a contractor a temporary code?
Capacity is 1000 user codes at 4 to 8 digits each, plus 50 separate visitor codes that can be set for one time use or with a time limit. That visitor bank is the answer for a trade who needs access for one day, or a tenant turnover, without touching your permanent code list.
6) What voltage and current does the Alarm Controls KP-100A keypad draw?
It runs on 12 to 24 VAC or VDC, plus or minus 10 percent, so it will sit on the same 12V or 24V supply feeding the lock. Draw is 40mA at rest and 100mA active at 12 VDC, and 70mA at rest, 50mA active at 24 VDC. Size the power supply for the lock plus that keypad load.
7) Can the KP-100A keypad be left unlocked during business hours?
Yes, it has a programmable passage mode, so the door can be held unlocked through the day and put back on codes after. It also has a false code lockout mode that shuts the keypad down after repeated wrong entries, which is the setting that matters on a public-facing door.
8) Does the KP-100A have a request to exit input and a tamper output?
Both. The REX input is a normally open dry contact rated 1mA/5VDC max, so an exit button, motion sensor, or a request-to-exit switch in the exit device can release the lock through the keypad. The tamper switch is built in, a normally closed dry contact rated 50mA/24 VDC max, wired back to an alarm zone if you want notification when the plate is pulled.
9) Is the KP-100A keypad readable in a dark corridor?
The keys are backlit, and there is audible and visible feedback on each key press. Red, green and yellow LEDs report status and walk you through programming, which is what you rely on when you are setting codes at the door rather than at a laptop.
10) What finish does the Alarm Controls KP-100A keypad come in?
One finish only, satin stainless steel on the plate. There is no other option to specify, so if you are standardizing entries across a building the keypads will match each other but will not match a brass or dark bronze trim package.
11) Is the KP-100A rated for commercial use or is it a residential keypad?
It is classed as commercial, and Alarm Controls positions it for both residential and commercial installations. True 10-digit operation, 10 digits plus the star and pound keys, plus the 1000 code capacity, is what puts it in a multi-family or small office building rather than a single home.
