Essex Electronics K1 Keypad is not working with OnGuard



Symptom

Essex Electronics K1 Keypad is not working with OnGuard

Resolution

 

  1. The keypad needs to be configured for Wiegand output and its facility code set. Essex Electronics Technical Support can assist with this. This is not covered in the manufacturer documentation.
  2. After the keypad is configured, add a 26-bit card format with the correct Facility Code to OnGuard.
  3. OnGuard will then treat the Facility Code as if it were a credential.

 

Applies To
