2.  Choose a mounting location 

within reach of the 10-foot power cable. (See page 8 

for instructions on extending the wire).

3. 

Verify signal strength

 at the desired location before mounting it permanently.

Verifying Signal Strength

1.  Make sure the panel is powered and the Wi-Fi DeviceLink card is installed.
2.  Power up the Touchpad using the included adapter.
3.  Verify the Touchpad displays "Select a Network."  If it doesn’t, press "Setup" 

then "FACTORY DEFAULT."

4.  If the signal strength displayed is less than 35, relocate Touchpad or  

panel. If neither options are available, install an RE621 Touchpad Range 

Extender.

 

The RE657 Touchpad 

is an intuitive interface for 

controlling the security system.  It is AC 

powered and communicates with the panel wirelessly.
