Print ArticleEssex SKE Series
A good access control solution for single-door systems is the Essex SKE Series. These keypads come in 3 X 4 button matrix, which is the telephone-style single gang format, or the 2 X 6 narrow stile version, good for storefronts or door frames where the slim shape is more desirable. Both versions share just about all the same features except illumination.
The SKE models are described as self-contained access control keypads because they contain several operating features which allow you to provide a lot of extra features to your installation at a reasonable price point.
The keypads are Piezo, which means they are vandal resistant, weatherproof and will last since there are no moving parts. This ensures solid performance in any environment (heat, rain, snow, ice -up to 3/8”, -40°C to +70°C). A choice of architectural finishes is available.
The SKE has a 2A relay on board which is ample to operate most electric locking devices. It can be configured for 5 Volts DC or 12-24VDC. A linear or switching power supply may be used.
The SKE-26 is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
The SKE is programmed from the keypad and will allow up to 502 users, with PINs from 3 to 8 digits. I recommend an 8-digit master programming code and 4-digit user codes.
