Possible Causes

Broken wire from keypad/key switch to START terminals, Incorrect wiring (NO vs NC), Faulty keypad relay or switch contacts, Low battery in wireless keypad

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before changing wiring. Ensure the door cannot move unexpectedly.

Steps:

  • Check keypad power: Replace keypad batteries or verify power supply if wired.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter to confirm that the key switch or keypad relay closes when activated.
  • Verify wiring: Ensure the two wires from the keypad/switch go to the correct START/STEP‑BY‑STEP terminals on the CAME board.
  • Bypass test: Briefly short the START terminals with a jumper wire. If the door moves, the board is fine and the external device or wiring is faulty.

Replace defective keypads or switches with CAME‑compatible models.
