Choose a mounting location suitable for your application such as a wall, flat surface, or a pedestal with a 3° x 3° mounting pattern (LiftMaster gooseneck pedestal post models PED42 or PED64). Locate the keypad at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from any moving part of the gate and where the user cannot reach over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. The mounting location needs to be in line of sight of the moving gate.
Unlock and remove the faceplate from the mounting plate.
Mount the mounting plate to the desired surface and secure with 1/4" screws or bolts (not provided).
Remove the battery cover using a Phillips screw driver. Install the battery (provided) and re-install inner cover.
Reattach the faceplate to the mounting plate and lock with the key.
BASIC PROGRAMMING
The Wireless Commercial Keypad must be put into programming mode prior to any of the programming steps below unless otherwise indicated. The keypad backlight will remain on if the product is in programming mode. While in programming mode, if an invalid code is entered, an error tone will sound, but the keypad will remain in programming mode. After 60 seconds of inactivity, the keypad will exit the programming mode. The 6-digit Master Code is used to prevent unauthorized access to the system. A Master Code is required (factory default code: 888888) to operate the Wireless Commercial Keypad. It is highly recommended to change and record your unique Master Code.
NOTE: An error tone will sound if the maximum number of PINs is exceeded or if user tries to program a PIN already programmed in the memory.
PROGRAM TO OPERATOR
Program to LiftMaster Operator
NOTE: The Master Code and a PIN need to be set before the gate operator can be programmed. See Basic Programming.
KPW5 - The frequency and encryption are set at the factory. Proceed to Step 4.
KPW250 - The frequency and encryption are set at the factory for LiftMaster Security+ 2.0 (tri-band 310, 315, and 390 MHz) operators. Proceed to Step 4. For LiftMaster Security+ (315 MHz or 390 MHz), the frequency and encryption need to be set.Proceed to Step 1.
1. Enter program mode: * (Master Code) #. 2 Set frequency and encryption (KPW250 only):
LiftMaster Security+ 315 MHz - Press 03 # 2 #. A long tone will sound. LiftMaster Security+ 390 MHz - Press 03 # 3 #. A long tone will sound. To reset factory default - Press 03 # 1 #. A long tone will sound.
3. Exit Program Mode: * * #. 4. Press the Learn Button on the operator. 5. Within 38 secands - Enter a valid 4-digit PIN then press #. A long tone will sound.
Program to Linear Multi-Code Receiver
KPW250 ONLY
1. Locate the DIP switch sequence on the operator and record it. If DIP switch is in the “up” or “on” (CLOSED) position place a1, “down” or “off” (OPEN) position place a 0 in the corresponding box in the chart below.
2. Enter program mode: * (Master Code) #. A long tone will sound.
3. Set Linear Multi-Code frequency and encryption: Press 03 # 4 #. A long tone will sound.
4. Enter the DIP Switch sequence (Use ONLY 1 and 0). Press #. A long tone will sound.
5. Exit Program Mode: ¥ * #.
6. Press the Learn Button on the operator.
7. Within 38 seconds - Enter a valid 4-digit PIN then press #. A long tone will sound.
NOTE: When entering the DIP Switch sequence 3 beeps will sound if an incorrect number of entries is input. Once an operator has been programmed, enter a valid 4-digit PIN and the # key to activate the operator.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING
Reset Master Code
Resetting the Master Code will not remove PINs or temporary PINs from memory and will not change the frequency and encryption type. After resetting the Master Code, the keypad will not operate any previously programmed operators until they are reprogrammed. To reset the Master Code to the factory default (888888):
Unlock and remove the faceplate.
Press and hold the RESET button on the control board for 6 seconds, a long tone sounds indicating the Master Code has been reset.
Reset Keypad
Resetting the keypad will erase the Master Code, all permanent PINs, all temporary PINs, and frequency and encryption settings. All settings will be set to factory default. After resetting, the keypad will not operate the previously programmed operators until they are reprogrammed. To reset the keypad:
Unlock and remove the faceplate.
Press and hold RESET button on the control board for 6 seconds until a long tone sounds then release.
Press and hold RESET button on the control board for 15 seconds, 3 long tones will sound indicating the keypad has been reset.
Lockout Mode (Default is ON)
If the keypad receives five consecutive invalid PINs, the keypad will enter lockout mode and will not accept any keypad inputs for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the keypad will begin accepting new inputs.
Constant Pressure Override (CPO)
The Constant Pressure Override feature is intended to temporarily override a fault in the entrapment protection system, in order to operate the gate until the external entrapment protection device is realigned or repaired. Use the feature only in line of sight of the gate when no obstructions to travel are present. External entrapment protection devices include LiftMaster monitored photoelectric sensors and LiftMaster monitored wired and wireless safety edge sensors. Be sure to repair or replace these devices promptly if they are not working properly.
CPO is only compatible with LiftMaster UL 325 Compliant Gate Operators (with burgundy boards) that require monitored entrapment protection.
To use Constant Pressure Override:
Enter a valid 4-digit PIN.
Press and hold # for 5 seconds to enter CPO. Continue to hold # to keep the operator in motion. A continuous tone will sound until limit is met and/or # is released.
The operator will stop when either the operator reaches a limit or the user releases #.
Party Mode (Gate Hold Open Feature)
Party mode can now be enabled from a model KPW5 or KPW250 wireless keypad.
Simply program the keypad into the receiver. When the gate is in the open position and the timer is running, enter a valid 4-digit PIN. The operator will chirp indicating the timer is canceled.
To restart the gate, either re-enter the 4-digit PIN, activate a hard input or a programmed remote control.
NOTE: Party Mode is only compatible with LiftMaster UL 325 Compliant Gate Operators (burgundy boards, with operator firraware version 4.2 or higher).

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
#1 What range will it work from? I need to know how far from the opener it can be and still work properly.
The KPW5 has about the same range as the remote control, generally about 30-35'. Applications to vary RE interference.
#2 Is their a compatable keypad that will accept a 5 digit code?
It depends on the opener you're programming to but this keypad only does 4 digit pin numbers
#3 I have a u.s. automatic brand sentry gate opener. could i program this to work with my gate? would i need another adapter?
You would need the receiver that communicates with this particular wireless keypad. The model number of the receiver that needs to be wired to your gate opener is the 850LM
No it does not have dip switches if you need dip switches that would mean you would need to program a Multicode remote control for that purpose you would need the LiftMaster KPW250 which has the dip switches you need.
