Keypad Reader - PN: RDRKP
Safety, Maintenance, & Operational Information
Additional Listed System Components
The Keypad Reader is perfect for indoor/outdoor applications and offers users the flexibility of using everyday proximity credentials or PIN numbers to gain access to secure areas. Add an extra layer of security with two-factor authentication, requiring users to present proximity credentials and enter a PIN number to gain access.
The Keypad Reader is a Wiegand output keypad with an integrated proximity reader. The keypad is backlit with a built-in Light Dependent Resistor* (LDR) sensor for anti-tamper security. Because it’s waterproof, it can be mounted either inside or outside in harsh environments.
*Light dependent resistors are frequently used as light sensors and are mainly used when there is a need to sense the absence and presence of light such as burglar alarm circuits, alarm clock, light intensity meters, etc.

* The IP Code classifies and rates the degree of protection provided by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures against intrusion, dust, accidental contact, and water. The first number is for solids protection such as dust; it ranges from 0 to 6. The second number is for the part's protection against liquids; it ranges from 0 to 8.
Wiegand Format
The standard 26-bit Wiegand format is an open format; it is a widely-used industry standard. Almost all access control systems accept the standard 26-bit format which consists of 2 parity bits, 8-bit facility code, and 16-bit card number fields. The Wiegand interface is commonly used to connect a card swipe mechanism to the rest of an access control system. The physical size limitations of the card dictated that a maximum of 37 Wiegand wire filaments could be placed in a standard card before misreads would affect reliability; therefore, most Wiegand formats used in physical access control are less than 37 bits in length.
NOTE: If the Keypad Reader is sending Wiegand data instead of PIN data, it's an old reader (3 or more years old) and can't be switched.
Reader Wiring Output
Follow all wiring and safety precautions to connect the Keypad Reader to your access control panel (single io or eight io). Mount the door controller with 22/6 wire. This reader supports formats using 26- to 37-bit 125 kHz credentials and outputs the card data through a standard Wiegand interface.
NOTE: For UL certified wire installations, all wire running from a door controller to a lock, strike, or reader device must be less than 98.5 feet (30 meters).

Installation
This Installation Manual provides instructions for installing the ProdataKey Keypad Reader.
IMPORTANT: A ProdataKey Cloud Node is required to operate the Keypad Reader.
Package Contents
- Keypad Reader (1)
- Mounting screws (2)
Recommended Tools
- Drill and the appropriate size drill bit
- Wall anchors (2) if mounting to drywall
- Electrical tape
- Pencil (to mark hole positions on the mounting surface)
- Low-voltage white B wire splice connectors (If wires will be outside/exposed to the elements, use blue gel-filled B wire splice connectors.)
- Wire stripper/crimper
Before you begin the installation, read the instructions thoroughly. Make sure you have read and understand the Safety Information.
WARNING: Disconnect power before working with the ProdataKey product. DO NOT mount the product while power is applied. Always apply power at the end of the installation after verifying wiring connections are correct; incorrect wiring could cause damage to the product.
Step 1 - Remove the screw from the bottom of the reader to remove the reader’s backplate.
Step 2 - Use the backplate’s mounting and cable holes to mark the hole positions on the wall. Drill two holes to support the mounting screws (and wall anchors, if mounting on drywall).
  |
Drill a larger hole into the wall between the two small holes large enough to pass the reader and controller wires through. Once the wires are paired, crimped, and wrapped in electrical tape, they need room to be pushed back and concealed inside the wall prior to mounting the reader. Feed the wires from the door controller through the wall hole in preparation for pairing with the six Keypad Reader wires. |
IMPORTANT: Before pairing the wires, ensure the power source (including the backup battery) is NOT energized until all wires are properly connected.
NOTE: A backup battery is HIGHLY recommended to prevent system failure in the event of an AC power loss.
Make sure the ends are stripped and prepped for installation. Strip the ends of the wires and pair the Keypad Reader wires with the corresponding controller wires by inserting the exposed ends of each wire pair (one of each door controller and Keypad Reader) into each end of a B connector wire splice; crimp the wires tightly. Repeat this for each set of paired wires, ensuring that both wires are securely crimped inside a B connector.
NOTE: The brown and yellow wires are optional connections.
| Keypad Reader Wire Conductor | Function (Single io) | Function (Eight io) |
| Red - Power to + (positive) connector | DC Power +12VDC | DC Power +12VDC |
| Black - Power to - (negative) connector | Ground (-) | Ground (-) |
| Green - To D0 (data zero) connector | Data 0 (zero) | Data 0 (zero) |
| White - To D1 (data 1) connector | Data 1 | Data 1 |
| Brown - To LED connector | Green LED | Green LED |
| Yellow - Buzzer connector | Buzzer (O) | Buzzer (-) |
NOTE: There may be some degree of pulling and pushing on the wires during the reader install process (especially while concealing the paired wires inside the wall). It is recommended that each B connector be crimped three times to ensure the wire pairs are held securely in the wire splice and will not disconnect. After all wires are paired and crimped, wrap the wire bundle securely with electrical tape around the B connector splices so they remain together and for ease when pulling/pushing the bundle through the wall. Conceal the wire bundle inside the wall in preparation for and prior to mounting the Keypad Reader.
After all wires are connected and concealed inside the wall, align the plate’s holes to the holes in the wall surface and mount the plate with the two provided screws so it is securely fastened to the wall.
Step 3 - With the Keypad Reader backplate securely mounted to the wall surface, mount the main reader unit by angling the reader into the corresponding tab at the bottom of the mounting plate.
Secure the reader to the backplate by replacing and tightening the previously removed screw into the bottom mounting tab hole.
IMPORTANT: A ProdataKey Cloud Node is required to operate the Keypad Reader.
If you have any questions or need help with installation or with any of the hardware described in this manual, please feel free to contact the ProdataKey Technical Support staff.
Operation
NOTE: If the Keypad Reader is sending Wiegand data instead of PIN data, this indicates that it is an older reader (from 2017 and older) and it can't be switched. The data is Wiegand if a PIN number is entered under Live Events or in Reports and it shows that a card number has been entered, just like a rugged reader in virtual card mode. PIN data is sent as a 4-bit per keypress burst (rugged readers allow 8-bit burst also), whereas Wiegand data is sent as a 26-bit string of data.
NOTE: Using a leading zero at the start of a PIN will drop that 0 digit when it is used in PDK. A PIN with a leading zero shouldn't be used. As an example, if a PIN of 0123 is created and entered into the reader, the system will see it as 123. Zero is a non-significant digit and is dropped at the start of a number. The system will not recognize a PIN number with a leading zero as a valid PIN and will not allow it.
- When swiping credentials, the LED turns green and the piezo buzzer sounds. Afterward, the LED returns to red.
- When the LED wire (brown) is pulled to ground, the LED turns green.
- When the Piezo buzzer wire (yellow) is pulled to ground, the piezo sounds. The piezo has a timeout of 30 seconds.
- The green wire is for Wiegand data 0, and white wire is for data 1.
NOTE: For UL certified wire installations, all wire running from a door controller to a lock, strike, or reader device must be less than 98.5 feet (30 meters).
NOTE: If the reader doesn't beep/react when presenting a card format, it's not compatible with the reader. In addition, some older versions of the RDRKP are in Card mode and are not programmable.
