About this item
The BEA 10KEYPADU is a universal access control keypad built for both indoor and outdoor use, with an IP66 rating that makes it fully waterproof and dustproof in harsh environments. It measures 3" wide by 4-7/10" tall by 9/10" deep, mounts in a standard single-gang configuration or as a slim-line surface mount, and supports up to 1,100 user codes across two independently controlled zones. All programming is completed directly from the keypad without a separate programmer. Nonvolatile memory retains all codes and settings through a power loss.
User code capacity and two-zone operation
The 10KEYPADU's 1,100-code capacity is split across two zones: Zone 1 holds up to 1,000 user codes, and Zone 2 holds up to 100. Each zone has its own independent relay output and exit button output, making the keypad suitable for controlling two separate access points or two different outputs at a single door from one device. Relock time is field-programmable from 0 to 99 seconds, giving administrators control over how long a relay stays energized after a valid code entry. The output relay contacts are rated for 42VAC or VDC with a maximum contact current of 1 amp resistive and a maximum switching power of 30W DC or 48VA AC.
Integration options include electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and any other hardware requiring an on/off or momentary relay signal. The dual-relay architecture means both outputs are available simultaneously, not toggled between. For facilities managing two controlled entry points from a single mounting location, the two-zone feature eliminates the need for a second reader at the same wall position.
IP66 rating and temperature range for outdoor installations
IP66 is the rating that matters for permanent outdoor installations. It indicates the keypad is fully protected against dust ingress and against powerful water jets from any direction, which covers rain, pressure washing, and high-moisture industrial environments. Combined with an operating temperature range of -22°F to 158°F and a humidity tolerance of 0–95% non-condensing, the 10KEYPADU is rated for year-round outdoor service in climates from cold northern winters to hot industrial facilities.
The blue-backlit keypad makes it usable in low-light and nighttime conditions without requiring supplemental lighting at the entry point. Supply voltage is 12–24VAC or VDC, and the unit draws a standby current of 30mA or less and a working current of 160mA or less, keeping power consumption low across continuous operation. The 3-foot cable provides enough reach for most standard single-gang wall box installations. Certifications include CE and RoHS.
Programming and tamper protection
Every function on the 10KEYPADU is programmed directly through the keypad itself, including user code assignment, zone configuration, relock timing, and output mode selection. There's no proprietary handheld programmer or software required, which simplifies both initial setup and ongoing management for facilities that don't have dedicated access control technicians on staff.
A tamper alarm is included as a standard feature, not an add-on. If the keypad is physically disturbed or the housing is opened without authorization, the tamper circuit triggers an alert through the system. This is a relevant specification for exterior installations where the keypad is accessible to the public and physical tampering is a realistic concern. The full range of BEA keypads is available on this site, and the wall mount keypad and proximity reader category covers coordinating readers and access control devices for complete entry configurations.
The 10KEYPADU is a straightforward specification for any opening that needs weather-resistant standalone keypad control with enough user capacity and zone flexibility to handle real-world multi-user access without a network-connected system.
