Install the Wiring Cable
1.Drill a ½” hole in the inside wall or ceiling where you want the cable to come through.
2.Pull the cable through the hole so the connector end goes to the keypad. Route it so there is minimal cable at the keypad.
Note: Supplied with the system is a
Mount the Keypad
1.Attach the wiring connector to the Keypad.
2.Attach the Keypad to the wall.
3.Do NOT attach the Keypad labels until the system is tested.
Prepare the Door for the Electric Strike
Follow these instructions only if you are using an electric strike to unlock the door. If you are using the main relay to activate a garage door, automatic gate, etc., skip this section. The new electric strike should be checked to verify compatibility with existing door hardware prior to installation.
1.Remove existing strike.
2.Follow directions included with the strike for preparing the doorjamb.
3.Do NOT mount the strike at this time.
Installing the Control Module
1.Connect the Wiring Cable to Terminal Strip “A” following the color sequence on the circuit board. (Appendix A – Page 23) NOTE: If the wiring cable has been cut shorter than 15 feet, the tan wire will become exposed. The tan wire is NOT used with the
2.Connect 12 to 24 Volts AC to Terminal Strip “B” to screws marked
Note: If connecting DC, make the connections to “DC IN/OUT” instead of
⊗IMPORTANT: The “EARTH” screw terminal on Terminal Strip “A” should be connected to a true earth ground for proper system protection and operation.
Connecting the Locking Device
Connect the electric locking device to Terminal Strip “B” as outlined in the Typical Wiring Diagram (Appendix B – Page 24). Any 3 conductor, 18 gauge wire can be used to connect the Control Module to the Locking Device. Included with each system are two MOV’s (metal oxide varistor). The function of the MOV is to absorb any inductive kickback from the locking device, protecting the circuit board. The MOV’s have been installed under the relay contact screws and can be left there for normal “FAIL SECURE” lock operation. For “FAIL SAFE” locks, move one leg from the “N.O.” screw to the “N.C.” screw (see Appendix B). If possible, install the MOV closer to the electric lock. If switching voltages higher than 36V, remove the MOV. To provide proper grounding, connect the 3rd wire from the body of the locking device to the “EARTH” screw on Terminal “A”
Battery Backup
Although battery backup is NOT required for User Code retention, you may wish to connect an optional Essex battery charging module (part no.
Note: Although the system will operate on DC input, DC will not charge the batteries for backup. If you require battery back up, make sure your input is AC. Rechargeable batteries must be used for back up.
