WIRING AND INSTALLATION
The keypads can be surface mounted directly to a drywall,
or to a single- or double-gang electrical box.
1. Push the two case release snaps at the bottom of the
keypad with the blade of a medium screwdriver (this will
push in the release snap), then pull that side of the case
back away. Insert the screwdriver in the side of the
keypad (between the front and back case) and gently
twist to release the side locking tab. Repeat for the other
side. Refer to Figure 1 for location of the case back
release snaps and locking tabs.
2. Route wiring from the control panel through the opening
in the case back.
3. Mount the case back to a wall or electrical box.
4. Wire directly from the keypad's terminal block to the
terminal block on the control panel. (See Wiring Table
below).
NOTE: No more than one wire per terminal may be
connected. If daisy-chained configuration is required,
pig-tail wires together so that only one wire is
terminated under the screw. Use 14-22 AWG wire only!
