Skill: Keypad DEA DIGIPRO (Standard + Hold-Open Relay Setup)
Skill level: 3
Technical
Learning Objective:
Learn to set an engineer/master code, assign a user code to Relay 1 (momentary), and assign a second user code to Relay 2 (latching hold-open) using the correct keypad sequences.
1. Overview
The DEA DIGIPRO keypad allows secure control of gates/doors using PIN codes:
Relay 1 = momentary pulse (default gate trigger)
Relay 2 = latching hold-open (remains active until re-entered or cleared)
Engineer/master code secures programming access (default must be changed).
2. Tools and Materials Required
DEA DIGIPRO keypad, powered (12–24V AC/DC)
Access to engineer/master code (set to 1967)
Job notes for programmed codes (Clik or site sheet)
PPE: gloves, glasses, safety boots
3. Before You Start
Confirm keypad wiring is correct (Relays 1 + 2 to control panel). See wiring diagram below.
Default master code =
1234 1234. This must be changed first.
Plan user codes with customer (avoid simple codes like 1111).
Relay functions we prefer to use to keep things standard:
Relay 1 → gate open pulse (~1-2s)
Relay 2 → latching hold-open
4. Procedure
Intro
The keypad is awaiting the master code twice to enter programming mode.
Then it awaits a * followed by a number (x) which takes it to the relevant menu item as follows:
x=
*0 – Setting the access mode
*1 – Relay timing for relay 1
*2 – Turning on/off the bell
*3 – Admin code modification
*4 – Adding code the relay 2
*5 – Relay timing for relay 2
*6 – Turn off anti removal (anti tamper) alarm
*7 – Adding a master card (allows access to programming, like ‘1234, 1234’) – This has to be turned on in ‘3.2, Setting access mode’
*8 – Factory reset procedures.
*9 – Edit length of password
To add/edit code for relay 1 – You do not need to enter a ‘*x’. This is the first thing you’re able to do when you enter the admin code.
‘1967 1967 – 001 – (code) #
Then it awaits the value, eg code or time in seconds
Then the # key is used to exit programming
A. Set Master (Engineer) Code
1234 1234 *3 1967 1967 # #
1234 1234= default admin code entered twice* 3= change admin code1967 1967= new engineer code (must match length)# #= confirm and exit
✅ Master code now set to 1967
B. Program Relay 1 (Momentary – Gate Trigger)
1967 1967 001 1234 #
No need to enter * number as default is RL1 code001= internal ID for first user1234= new Relay 1 user code#= exit
C. Program Relay 2 (Latching)
NOTE: enter the code to latch, enter again to unlatch
1967 1967 *5 00 # (sets relay 2 to latch)
*5 Relay 2 latch/momentary00 Relay 2 latch
Then
1967 1967 *4 00 3456 # (sets code for relay2)
*4 relay 2 code set001= internal ID for first user3456= new Relay 2 user code#= exit
5. Best Practices
Always change the default master code.
Use unique user codes per person/group for audit clarity.
Record all programmed codes in job record.
Demonstrate latch/unlatch clearly to the customer.
Keep engineer/master code secure — don’t share with customer.
6. Common Mistakes to Avoid
🚫 Forgetting to change default master code (security risk)
🚫 Not pressing # # to exit — changes won’t save
🚫 Confusing Relay 1 (pulse) with Relay 2 (latch)
🚫 Using short/simple codes (easy to guess)
🚫 Not testing each code on site before leaving
