How to Replace the Battery in a Premium Metal Wireless Keypad

The Premium Metal Wireless Keypad (Part #050551) runs on one CR123A battery. If the keypad lights up and beeps when you press keys but the gate does not respond, a weak or dead battery is often the cause. Replacing it is straightforward and only takes a few minutes.

What You Need

• The included key to remove the keypad from its housing (CH751)
• A small Phillips head screwdriver
• One new CR123A battery

Step 1: Remove and Open the Keypad

1. Use the included key to unlock the keypad.
2. Lift the keypad up and away from the back plate to remove it.
3. Loosen the four Phillips head screws and remove the internal back plate.

Step 2: Replace the Battery

1. Remove the old battery.
2. Install the new CR123A battery in its place, making sure it is oriented correctly.

Step 3: Reassemble and Remount the Keypad

1. Set the internal back plate back into place and secure it with the four Phillips head screws. Do not over-tighten.
2. Set the keypad back into the housing.
3. Lock the keypad into place with the included key.

Troubleshooting

The keypad still does not operate the gate after replacing the battery.

First confirm the new battery is seated correctly and making good contact. If the keypad lights up and beeps normally but the gate still does not respond, the issue may not be the battery. Check that the keypad is still paired to the receiver and that the access code is programmed correctly. A fresh battery does not affect existing programming, so your codes should still be intact.

The keypad does not light up at all after installing the new battery.

Double-check that the battery is installed with the correct polarity. If it is seated correctly and the keypad still shows no signs of power, inspect the battery contacts inside the keypad for any corrosion or debris and clean them if needed.
