Scyto Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 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?
fitzpatri8 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Did you feel a tingle when you touched it, something suggesting you might have had a static electricity discharge?
paulbates Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 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?
Scyto Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 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)
