MOUNTING AND WIRING THE KEYPAD
The keypad must be mounted within the protected premises.
It can be surface mounted directly to walls. A built-in tamper
switch detects separation of the case-back from its mounting
surface. To include tamper protection, a tamper screw must be
inserted in the case-back, as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Not all control panels support keypad tamper reporting. Refer to
the individual Control Panel's Installation and Setup Guide.
