SES RPKPTEC/CAT Alpha Numeric Keypad with Cable and Gasket for TEC Panels
The SES RPKPTEC/CAT is an alpha/numeric replacement keypad assembly for compatible Select Engineered Systems telephone entry and access-control panels. The keypad is the front-panel interface used for directory lookup, PIN entry, visitor interaction, and programming access on supported SES equipment.
This assembly includes the keypad, cable, and gasket, making it useful when the original button pad is worn, the cable is damaged, the keys are no longer responsive, or the weather seal is no longer serviceable. Cable length and gasket fit matter, so similar-looking SES keypads should be checked carefully before ordering.

- Supported SES TEC series telephone entry panels using the RPKPTEC/CAT alpha/numeric keypad assembly
- Commonly associated with all TECs where this keypad/cable/gasket assembly is specified
- Not the RPKPTEC/CAT8 longer-cable version for CAT8 or TEC8 style applications

Technician Note
A keypad that works only sometimes is not always a keypad-only problem. Check for moisture, corrosion at the connector, a pinched cable, and front-door gasket failure before assuming the control board has failed.
Before Ordering
- Match the SES part number and panel model before ordering.
- Compare the keypad layout, cable length, connector style, and gasket shape to the original assembly.
- Check the front door opening and weather seal for cracking, swelling, or water intrusion.
- Confirm whether the unit uses a numeric, alpha/numeric, blue lighted, or longer-cable keypad assembly.
- Power down the access-control unit before service and follow the SES service documentation.
Professional Advisory
If the keypad is water damaged, intermittently shorting, or part of a system with unsafe gate behavior, have a qualified gate or access-control technician inspect the SES unit before replacing parts. Do not bypass gate safety devices, access-control wiring, or monitored safety circuits to force operation.
Questions & Answers
What type of keypad is SES RPKPTEC/CAT?
SES RPKPTEC/CAT is an alpha/numeric keypad assembly with cable and gasket for supported SES TEC telephone entry panels.
Does this keypad fit CAT8 or TEC8 panels?
This row is for RPKPTEC/CAT. CAT8 and TEC8 style panels may require RPKPTEC/CAT8 with the longer cable, so match the old keypad and cable length.
When should this keypad be replaced?
Replacement is commonly needed when buttons are worn, cracked, faded, sticking, intermittently responsive, or the gasket no longer seals the front panel correctly.
Is the gasket important?
Yes. The gasket helps seal the keypad opening. A missing or damaged gasket can allow moisture into the panel and damage the keypad or internal electronics.
Can a numeric keypad replace this alpha/numeric keypad?
No. Numeric and alpha/numeric keypads are different front-panel assemblies. The keypad type, cable, connector, and SES model must match.
