6. Insert both red wires (coming in from controller and going out to next
AI device) into terminal slot 1 on the fi rst terminal block (P1). Ensure
that they are both seated all the way inside the slot. Use a fl athead
precision screwdriver to tighten down the terminal screw. Verify that
the terminal slot has tightened down on the copper wire and not
on the rubber insulation. There should be no copper wire showing
outside of the terminal slot. Gently tug the wires to verify that they
are tightly held inside the terminal slot. Repeat this process with
each of the remaining wire connections as shown in Figure 16.

7. The right (relay) terminal block is used for the relay connections.
Pins 1, 2, and 3 are for the fi rst relay and Pins 4, 5, and 6 are for the
second. If a gate operator or door strike is being triggered directly
from this keypad, the wires will connect to two of these three pins on
Relay 1. Refer to the gate or door strike manufacturer's instructions
to determine whether it needs to be connected to the normally open
and common or to the common and normally closed. Relay 2 can be
programmed to serve any of a number of functions using both the
internal APEX programming and/or the software.
8. The earth ground wire should be connected in situations where the
keypad is mounted on (or in) a wall that is wood, stone, or other
nonconductive material. When installing an elevator APEX or the
fl ush mount APEX, earth ground must always be connected. An
earth ground connection is not always necessary when the keypad is
mounted on a bollard or gooseneck.
To connect the ground wire, run a copper wire from a grounded water
pipe or from a copper rod in the ground to the keypad and connect it
to the green earth ground wire using a wire nut. This installation must
meet applicable code as the type of wire, depth of burial, and size of
the rod may vary by municipality.

6. Green Data -
* If using AC power, place the
AC wires in slots 1 and 2. We
recommend 12 – 18 VDC.
** Shield wire should be insulated
with heat shrink or electrical tape.

Allows Relay 2 to activate when Relay 1 is
tripped outside of hold open hours. Useful
when using a secondary gate. Factory
default is Enabled.
Sets the maximum number of attempts
within a one minute period before the APEX
will prevent further code entry. If the number
is set to three, then after three successive
attempts with invalid codes, the user will be
locked out. The lockout will remain active
for 60 seconds after the last key press. If
the user keeps pressing keys the lockout
time will continue to be reset. The maximum
value is 10. Factory default is 000, which
disables the lockout feature.
Displays a third message on the display
before any key is pressed. The APEX will
scroll through three messages instead
of two and allows communication with
customers. It cannot be changed from the
controller. Factory default is NO.
Causes Relay 1 to trip if the APEX is not
communicating with the controller.
WARNING: Improper use of this option
leave your site vulnerable. Do not set this
option on an entry keypad. Factory default
is NO.
Sets the amount of time the APEX
should wait before considering it has
lost communication with the controller.
Any value from 1 to 255 seconds can be
entered. Factory default is 5 seconds.
Sets the extended door controls. It requires
the optional inputs. When ENABLED,
the device allows control of a door with
request to exit inputs and hold open alarm
notifi cation. Input 1 is used for the door
alarm contact and Input 2 is used for the
request to exit device contact. Relay 1 is
used to activate the door strike so that it
will open and Relay 2 is used to activate
a hold open device for the door. Factory
default is DISABLED.
The length of time (in seconds) for which the
door relay will activate. The user must open
the door during this period of time or the
door will not open. The maximum value is
255 seconds. Factory default is 2 seconds.
The number of seconds the door can be
held open before an alarm is sent to the
controller. If someone props a door open
for longer than this time, the alarm will
sound. The maximum value is 65535
seconds. The maximum value translates
to 1092.25 minutes (65535 seconds / 60
seconds per minute) or 18.2 hours (65535
seconds / 3600 seconds per hour). This
feature is available when using extended
door controls. Factory default is 30 seconds.
