MOUNT THE MODULE

The module can be mounted in a DMP enclosure using the 

standard 3‑hole mounting pattern. Refer to Figure 2 as needed 

during installation.

1.  Hold the plastic standoffs against the inside of the enclosure 

side wall. 

2.  Insert the included Phillips head screws from the outside of 

the enclosure into the standoffs. Tighten the screws.

3.  Carefully snap the module onto the standoffs.

WIRE THE MODULE

2

Use 18 to 22 gauge wire to connect the 712‑8 directly to the 

Keypad Bus or use a dual‑ended 4‑wire harness to connect 

directly to the LX‑Bus. This connection allows the module to 

communicate with the panel and receive 12 VDC power. For more 

information about wiring, refer to Wiring Specifications. Refer to 

Figure 3 when wiring the module.

Connect to the LX‑Bus

1.  Place a jumper across the top two KEYPAD/LX‑ BUS pins.
2.  Connect one end of a 4‑wire harness to the top header on 

the module.

3.  At the panel, connect the other end of the 4‑wire harness 

to the LX‑Bus.

Connect to the Keypad Bus

1.  Place a jumper across the bottom two KEYPAD/LX‑ BUS 

pins.

2.  Connect a 4‑wire harness to the top header on the module.
3.  At the panel, connect the wires to the corresponding 

Keypad Bus terminals.
