INSTALLING KEYPADS

INSTALLING THE KEYPADS

•The best infrared remote performance is achieved with the keypad away from any direct sunlight. Also consider convenience when choosing a location.

•Choose a place that is easily seen from the position where a person is most likely to be located.

•Check whether or not you can route the wire to the loca- tion you have chosen.

•Purchase retro-fit plastic junction boxes (min. 20 cubic inches) or p-rings and cut in the boxes using a key-hole saw or sheetrock knife/hand saw.

•If you are installing the optional DSC keypad you will need to use a double-gang electrical box. If you are installing the CA-LCD, DSC and the optional DAN keypad you will need to install a triple-gang electrical box.

•If you feel uncomfortable cutting into your walls and running wire through the walls, seek help from a profes- sional installer or an electrician.

•Route the wire to the junction box from the CA location.

•If using 22 AWG wire, connect each wire to the correct position 1 thru 8 using the included punchdown tool. Refer to List 5.

•If using CAT-5 wire, connect each wire to its correspon- ding color labeled on the punchdown terminal.

•Mount the keypad in the junction box and attach the Decora plate.

•The CA-KP.2 keypad has source labels for your conven- ience. Insert the label in the keypad keeping the input number in sequence with the source selected.

•Repeat the above steps until all keypads are installed.
