Popp Keypad.

Popp Keypad was developed to add access control to your Z-Wave system. It is powered by Popp technology. 

Before purchasing make sure to contact your Z-Wave Gateway/Controller manufacturer to determine if this device is compatible, typically most Z-Wave gateways will be generically compatible to Switch type devices. The technical specifications of Keypad can be viewed at that link.

Quick start.

Keypad can be used as a primary or secondary controller. This devices a plenty of complex use cases while this section will explain how Keypad can be used as both a stand alone Z-Wave Network or as a Secondary controller to another Z-Wave network.

Product Usage.

Keypad can operate in two different modes. The mode is chosen the way the device is included into a Z-Wave network:

1. Stand Alone Mode. In this case Keypad acts as the primary network controller and will include other devices such as e.g. a strike lock control or a door bell. No other central controller is needed. The management of user codes is done using Keypad itself.
2. Network Mode. Keypad is included as additional device into an exiting network. In Z-Wave terms it will then act as inclusion (secondary) controller. It will send commands to a central controller and is managed by this controller. In this mode the device can still directly control door locks but it can also be used to trigger scenes in a central controller. 

Primary Controller usage (Stand Alone Mode).

Keypad as a stand alone controller is to be used as a method to control your Z-Wave door locks and other Indicator devices (ie. light switches, Door bells, etc).

There are 2 control groups:

• Door Locks. (Group 2)
• Indicator devices (Group 3).

Keypad will automatically sort out your devices that you pair to Keypad between these 2 groups as you pair them. You are allow to pair up to 10 devices for each group.

2. Tap button "2"
3. Immediately confirm by tapping key "*" (red/green LEDs are blinking constantly)
4. Follow the instruction manual of the Z-Wave Device you are pairing to Keypad for the button press required to unpair it. (Most Z-Wave Devices use a single button press, but it could be a double tap, or press and hold for a second or 2).

Shift of Primary Controller role to another Z-Wave Controller.

This function is used to shift the primary role from Keypad to another Z-Wave Controller.

1. Pair a Z-Wave controller or gateway as a secondary to Keypad (follow steps from "Include Z-Wave devices.)
2. Set Keypad into Management mode (remove the back cover of this unit)
3. Tap button "3"
4. Immediately confirm by tapping key "*"
5. Set your secondary controller paired to Keypad to "Learn" mode (follow the instruction manual of your Z-Wave controller on how to do so).

Secondary Controller usage (Network mode).

Attention: If you use Keypad as device with Popp-Hub or any other Z-Way based controller you need to install the app ‘Keypad‘ for

• managing user codes
• accessing the usage history (key codes entered, failed attempts)

Go to this link if you have a Popp Gateway to help you get started: https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/6000219135-keypad-with-popphub

Pair Keypad as a secondary controller to existing gateway:

1. Place your gateway or controller into Z-Wave pair or inclusion mode. (Please refer to your controller/gateway manual on how to do this)

2. Set Keypad into Management mode by removing the back-cover (all LEDs will light up to indicate this mode)

3. Tap button 4

4. Immediately after, tap button "*" (blue/green are blinking constantly)

5. Your gateway should confirm if Keypad is successfully included into your network.

How to send NIF-Node Information Frame.

Sending a NIF is useful for updating information to a Gateway to either unpair/pair Keypad as a secondary controller or update device information to your gateway.

• Double tap the "Bell" key.

Removing Keypad from an existing gateway:

This method can be used to factory reset Keypad using any primary Z-Wave gateway. (The Z-Wave gateway does not have to be paired to Keypad to do so).

1. Place your gateway or controller into Z-Wave unpair or exclusion mode. (Please refer to your controller/gateway manual on how to do this)

2. Set Keypad into Management mode by removing the back-cover (all LEDs will light up to indicate this mode)

3. Tap button 4

4. Immediately after, tap button "*" (blue/green are blinking constantly)

5. Your gateway should confirm if Keypad is successfully excluded from your network.

You can add multiple user codes to allow other users to login to Keypad using their specific key code.

Note - #20 user number is the master user. To set the master Key Code, enter 20 under step 4.

1. Remove back cover of Keypad to set this device into Management Mode (MM)
2. Tap key "8"
3. Immediately tap "*" key
4. Enter user # (value range of 1 - 20)
5. Immediately tap "*" key
6. Enter PIN (4 to 10 digits)
7. Immediately tap "*" key to finish programming.

Remove PIN user code.

If you already understand what PIN numbers are available or if you want to remove a PIN user code from Keypads, follow these steps:

1. Remove back cover of Keypad to set this device into Management Mode (MM)
2. Tap key "8"
3. Immediately tap "*" key
4. Enter PIN (4 to 10 digits)
5. Immediately tap "*" key to finish removing a PIN user code.

Association Groups.

Group Association is a specific function in Z-Wave that allows you to tell Keypad who it can speak to. Some devices may only have 1 group association meant for the gateway, or multiple group associations that can be used for specific events. This type of function isn't used too often, but when it is available, you may be able to use it to directly communicate to Z-Wave devices instead of controlling a scene within a gateway which can have unforeseen delays.

Some gateways have the ability to set Group Associations to devices that have these special events and functions. Typically this is used to allow your gateway to update the status of Keypad instantly.

By default, your primary gateway should have been associated to Keypad automatically during the pairing of your Switch. For any case you have a Secondary Z-Wave Controller, you'll need to associate it to your Keypad in order for your secondary controller to update its status.

Keypad as a secondary controller will forward all commands through Group 1 (Lifeline).

• Access Control (0x06): "Manual code exceeds limits (0x13)"; Sent, when pin code entered is more then 10
• Access Control (0x06): "Invalid User Code (0x14)";Sent, when entered pin code doesn’t exist
• Access Control (0x06): "Keypad Unlock (0x06)"; Sent, when entered pin code is correct and door is opened. This command also encapsulates the USER_CODE_REPORT with the pin entered
• Access Control (0x06): "All User Codes Deleted (0x0c)";Sent, when all pin codes are removed by command from controller
• Access Control (0x06): "Single User Code deleted (0x0d)";Sent, when new pin code is removed by command from controller, or manually on Keypad
• Access Control (0x06): "New User Code added (0x0e)"; Sent, when new pin code is added by command from controller, or manually on Keypad
• Access Control (0x06): "New User Code not added (0x0f)"; Sent, when after attempt to add new pin code, using keypad
• Burglar Alarm (0x07):  "Tamper Removed"; When Keypad is unmounted and enclosure is opened

These values can only be configured if Keypad is a secondary controller.
