If both keypads in the zone are using an external IR receiver, the MRCCB1 Connecting Block (see Figure 8) is used to expand the connections on the back of the primary keypad as shown in Figure 8-C.

If your installation requires cabling beyond these limits you can use the MRCCB1 Connecting Block to power the keypads from a separate run of +12VDC as shown in Figure 8-D. The +12VDC can also be generated in the zone from a model 782 power supply or from a source at the Controller/Amplifier location (run an 18 gauge speaker wire to the MRCCB1 Connecting Block to minimize line loss. This method will extend the distance to the last keypad in the zone to a maximum of 600 feet.

The Maximum cable run to the external IR receiver in each of the above cases is 250 feet from the keypad.
