All button backlights blink red.
Blinking red indicates the keypad is not communicating with the keypad controller. This sequence can
occur during the keypad discovery process when the keypad controller is searching for the keypads. If the
backlights blink red once the discovery process completes, this indicates the keypad can’t communicate with
the keypad controller. Try each of the following below to get the keypad to connect:
–
Verify the wiring at the connectors on the keypad and keypad controller is correct.
–
Verify there are no shorts or opens in the wiring between the keypad and the keypad controller.
–
Press and release the reset button on the SKL-3040/1010 to restart the discovery process.

All button backlights blink blue .
The blinking blue state is used to locate the keypads during the Blueprint configuration/binding process.
From within the lighting and shade manager, when a user highlights one of the keypads that is listed in the
Discovered column, this causes the button backlights to blink blue. The blinking keypad lets the user know
which keypad in a room or home is highlighted in the lighting and shades manager.
To get to this state, the lighting and shade manager must be open on the SDE/MacBook, and the keypad
must be discovered and listed in the Discovered column.
More information on this sequence is described in the
Low Voltage Keypad Deployment Guide
. This and
other lighting guides can be located in the Lighting Documentation Portal on the

All button backlights blink magenta
Blinking Magenta indicates the keypad is wired, communicating with the keypad controller, but the controller
is not up-linked. Possible reasons for this state are:
–
The keypad controller, and SDE (MacBook) aren’t plugged into the same network.
–
The keypad controller is listed in the Discovered column in the lighting and shades manager but is
currently not communicating with the lighting and shade manager. Press the Discover button in the
lighting and shade manager so the manager can locate the keypad controller.

All button backlights blink yellow
Blinking yellow indicates the Savant Host is communicating with the keypad controller but there is no
configuration on the keypad. Possible reasons for this state are:
–
A new keypad is wired to the keypad controller and the keypad controller was reset to begin the
discovery process. During this time the button backlights will blink yellow. Once a configuration is
downloaded to the keypad, the blinking yellow will stop.
Top left button backlight remains solid green.
The keypad has entered the boot-loader mode. The keypad goes into boot-loader mode during a firmware
update.
Button Backlight Sequencing
HELPFUL INFORMATION!
During the setup process, or if the keypad is not functioning in a Savant system, the button backlights
are programmed to blink specific sequences to indicate the keypad’s state. To find the keypad’s state, press any button on the
keypad, and the backlights will blink one of the sequences shown below. The sequences in the first three images below will blink
for about 30 seconds and then stop. Pressing any button after the blinking stops will restart the process. Once the keypad is
connected to the SKL-3040 OR SKL-1010 keypad controller and communicating with the Host (functioning normally in a Savant
system), the backlights then follow how they are configured using Blueprint’s lighting and shade manager.
