Z-Wave™ Technical Manual
Ring Keypad
Introduction
Ring Alarm Keypad is a wireless accessory for the Ring Alarm system which provides users the ability to arm and disarm their system, view system status, and manage alarm conditions. After installing the Keypad and setting up the Keypad in the Ring app, perform arming and disarming actions as well as receive system indications for different status updates and events. The Ring Alarm Base Station is required to enable Keypad features and functions within the Ring app.
Notes:
- This product can be operated in any Z-Wave™ network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.
- SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the ZWave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.

Ring Alarm Keypad – Inclusion
Adding Ring Alarm Keypad to a Z-Wave Network
Ring Alarm Keypad can be added via SmartStart or Classic inclusion mode.
Note
When prompted for the QR Code or PIN, you may find them on the device, on the box, or on a card inside the box. Keep the device nearby. You’ll be prompted plug the device in to power on the device and enter setup mode.
SmartStart Inclusion Steps:
- Initiate the add flow for Security Devices in the Ring mobile application – Follow the guided add flow instructions provided in the Ring mobile application.
- When prompted by the mobile application, scan the QR code found on the package of the Keypad. The QR code can also be found on the device itself.
- Using the power adapter and cable provided, plug the Keypad into a standard outlet and the device will go into SmartStart inclusion mode. While in this mode, Keypad can be added to a Z-Wave controller that supports SmartStart. When in SmartStart inclusion mode, SmartStart can be restarted by tapping the button on the front of the device.
Classic Inclusion Steps:
Classic Inclusion should be used if the controller does not support SmartStart.
- Initiate add flow for Security Devices in the Ring mobile application – Follow the guided add flow instructions provided in the Ring mobile application.
- Select add manually and enter the 5-digit DSK PIN found on the package of the Ring Alarm Keypad or the 5-digit DSK PIN found under the QR code on the device. After powering on the device, press and hold the #1 button for ~3 seconds. Release the button and the device will enter Classic inclusion mode which implements both classic inclusion with a Node Information Frame, and Network Wide Inclusion. During Classic Inclusion mode, the green Connection LED will blink three times followed by a brief pause, repeatedly. When Classic inclusion times-out, the device will blink alternating red and green a few times.
| LED Behabior for Inclusion | Blink Pattern |
| SmartStart Started | Green LED three times, repeated after a brief pause |
| Classic Inclusion Started | Green LED three times, repeated after a brief pause |
| Classic Inclusion Timed-Out | Alternate red and green a few times |
| Inclusion Successful (Authenticated S2) | Green LED on solid |
| Inclusion Not Successful (Self-Destruct) | Red LED on solid |
Ring Alarm Keypad – Exclusion
Removing Ring Alarm Keypad from a Z-Wave Network
Exclusion Instructions:
- Initiate remove “Ring Alarm Keypad” flow in the Ring Alarm mobile application – Select the settings icon from device details page and choose “Remove Device” to remove the device. This will place the controller into Remove or “Z-Wave Exclusion” mode.
- Locate the pinhole reset button on the back of the device.
- With the controller in Remove (Z-Wave Exclusion) mode, use a paper clip or similar object and tap the pinhole button. The device’s Connection LED turns on solid red to indicate the device was removed from the network.
Ring Alarm Keypad – Factory Reset
Factory Default Instructions
- To restore Ring Alarm Keypad to factory default settings, locate the pinhole reset button on the device. This is found on the back of the device after removing the back bracket.
- Using a paperclip or similar object, insert it into the pinhole, press and hold the button down for 10 seconds.
- The device’s Connection icon LED will rapidly blink green continuously for 10 seconds. After about 10 seconds, when the green blinking stops, release the button. The red LED will turn on solid to indicate the device was removed from the network.
Note
Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
