Last night I was turning off my KPD manually - ust pressing the off switch.

 

It burped (beeped / buzzed / not sure which) at me and then all the buttons LEDs came on and the little status light was red.  At this point it was not responding.

 

So I pulled the little set switch out to removed power, pushed it back in after a few seconds and now all is ok.

 

What happened?  Is the KPD about to fail?

Did you feel a tingle when you touched it, something suggesting you might have had a static electricity discharge?

Hi Scyto

 

1- It could be a power / static issue: Did you have a brown out / blackout/ power issues recently?

• If so, or a static issue like fitzpatri8 mentioned, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
• Think about a whole house surge protector if this happens more than several times a year

2- Was the key the "A" key controlling a load? 

• If so, what is connected to the keypad's load, how many watts, etc.
• If its a light, is it incandescent, LED, CFL, or lowvoltge lighting transformer?

Could be static.

 

Don't think it was a brown out - I have underground power so don't tend to get issues of power lines and trees and wind.

 

Yes it was controlling a load - incandescent lights (about 300w worth)
