Why Auckland Property Owners Should Consider the CC Series Keypad for Their Gate Automation
Are you thinking about upgrading your automatic gate system? If you live in Auckland, you want something secure, stylish, and reliable. And if your current keypad is acting up, this is the perfect time to look at your options. Today we’re reviewing a keypad that’s growing in popularity — the CC Series Keypad. We’ve installed many of these across Auckland. Let us explain what makes it great and what to watch out for.
A Versatile Keypad with Smart Features
First of all, this keypad comes with two relays. That’s a big advantage. It means you can control two different devices with one keypad. For example, your gate and your pedestrian door. Or your gate and an alarm system. So this is a nice bonus.
Even better, it also has a bell button. That’s very useful for visitors. Sometimes people don’t want to spend a lot on intercom systems, at the same time is good to know if someone came to visit you. so to use the button you should get a wireless bell, hide the bell behind the keypad in the post and solder a wires to wireless bell buton and connect the other end of the wired to pink wires of the keypad. Press the button, and it rings a plug in bell or buzzer inside your property.
This feature adds a layer of convenience — and a touch of professionalism to any gate.
Additionally, the CC Series includes a built-in card reader. You can give access cards to family, staff, or guests. So you don’t always have to rely on codes. In short, it’s a well-rounded keypad. You get a lot for the price.
Built to Handle New Zealand Weather – Mostly
Another great feature is that the main board is fully covered in protective compound. That means it’s safe from rain, dust, and humidity. Here in Auckland, that’s essential. We get unpredictable weather — and often plenty of it. Electronics without protection can easily short out or corrode. So this coating gives you peace of mind. However, there’s a downside too. And we’ve seen it often. The keypad comes with two plug-type connectors for the wires. Unfortunately, these connectors are not sealed. This is where moisture sneaks in. Over time, those connectors start to corrode. Once that happens, your keypad becomes unreliable. Sometimes it stops working altogether.
Our Professional Tip to Prevent Moisture Damage
Luckily, there’s an easy fix. Before installation, we recommend you cover both connectors with general-purpose grease. This forms a moisture barrier. if water tries to get in, the grease stops it.Even better, it makes any future maintenance easier. You can spot water ingress quickly — and deal with it before it becomes a bigger issue. This small step can add years to your keypad’s lifespan.And of course, we take care of this whenever we install CC Series keypads.
Ideal for Residential and Light Commercial Use
So, who should use the CC Series Keypad? It’s perfect for homeowners who want a reliable and feature-rich access system. It’s also suitable for small apartment complexes or commercial gates that don’t require full access control systems. Because it’s so flexible, it fits a wide range of needs. Whether you want key codes, cards, or a bell for guests — this keypad delivers.
