Safety precautions

KP10 A-BUS keypad

Care should be taken when choosing the site for a KP10, the keypad must never be installed in a back-box which also contains mains wiring or in areas of high humidity.

The KP10 runs on 24V DC supplied through the connecting cable. As such there is no mains voltage present in the KP10 and the unit is often safe to fit in areas where only extra low voltage (ELV) equipment is permitted. However, it is imperative that you always check the wiring regulations in force for your application and area.

Faceplates

The KP10 faceplate system is based on the 50 x 50 ‘easy-clip’ module standard and is interchangeable with the wide range of faceplates made by manufacturers such as MK Electric, RPP etc that conform to this standard. If it is desired to fit another faceplate, it can be replaced by gently prising apart the KP10 faceplate and snapping on another in its place.

Fitting the keypad

Remove the supplied faceplate from the KP10 by gently prising apart. It will “pop” off. Connect each wire in the Cat-5 cable to its respective terminal in the screw-down connector on the back of the KP10 (refer to the Cat-5 to KP10 screw-down connectors diagram in the ‘Rear panel connections’ section of this guide). The recommended maximum length for use with standard Cat-5 cable is 30m from hub to keypad in total (screened Cat-5 cable can also be used). After making the wiring connections, fit the KP10 to the back-box with the two supplied M3.5x20 screws. Gently push the faceplate back on to the module.

Note: If in doubt about any aspect of installation or wiring, seek professional advice from a qualified installer.
