Installing the Zone Keypads

Location Considerations

Do not install the electrical box in non-climate controlled locations such as outside the house, in outside walls, or in a garage.

Do not install the electrical box in stud cavities that contain other wiring, ductwork, air-return cavities, piping, etc.

Do not install the electrical box within 18 inches of dimmers, fluorescent light fixtures, security wiring, or other control wiring.

Do not install the electrical box within 2 inches of room corners.

Electrical Double-Gang Box Rough-In

Mount one side of the double-gang electrical box to a wall stud.

The bottom of the box should be approximately 52 inches, or as requested, from the finished floor.

Wiring Considerations

Figure 9—Zone Keypad Rough In, image shows (1) 16- gauge 2-conductor power wire, (2) 18- gauge speaker wire and (2) CAT 5 cables, one for communication and the second for local source.

Keep all Zone Keypad wiring away from 120/240V wires, dimmers, and other control wiring.

The 16-gauge, 2-conductor wire for power supply and 18-gauge, 2-conductor speaker wire enter the electrical box on the left side, when you are looking into the box.

The CAT-5 wire for communication and the line-level in/out enter the electrical box on the right side, when you are looking into the box. NOTE two cat 5 cables are needed when using the local wall source in that zone, one for communication and one for the local line-level in/out.

Label all wiring: Power, right speaker, left speaker, line-level in, and line-level out.

Knot or fasten all wires in some manner to prevent them from slipping out through the back of the electrical box.

DO NOT confuse the 16-gauge power wire with the 18-gauge speaker wire.
