When surface-mounting the keypad and using screws with heads larger than the screws provided
with the unit, place electrical tape over the screws to prevent them from interfering with the keypad
operation. In the future, the back plate of the keypad will provide additional countersinking for
screws with larger heads.
Mounting the 6805 Keypad
Keypads can be surface mounted or flush mounted as described below.
SURFACE MOUNTING
1. Select a mounting location and place the rear plate of the
keypad on the wall. Mark the location of the cutout for the
keypad wiring cable.
2. Create a keypad opening. Connect the keypad wiring to the
control panel with a 4-wire connector.
3. Place the keypad wiring through the cutout and secure the
back plate to the wall (refer to Figure 2-3).
4. Connect the keypad wiring connector to the keypad and
place the keypad on the mounting plate attached to the
wall.
5. Secure the keypad to the rear mounting plate by attaching
the provided 5/8-inch screw in the lower hole, located
behind the keypad door.

RECESSED MOUNTING
1. Select a mounting location. For recessed mounting, this
must be between two studs. The rear mounting plate is not
used for recessed installations.
2. Create an opening in the wall exactly 4 inches high by 5
13/16 inches wide.
3. Turn over the keypad and remove the Phillips-head screw
(item 1 in Figure 2-4) in the upper left-hand side of the
keypad printed circuit board.
NOTE: This screw is located immediately to the left of the
keypad connector.
4. Attach the black metal mounting strap to the rear of the
keypad as follows (refer to Figure 2-4);
•
Face the pointed end of the mounting strap facing the
keypad front. This will be used to latch onto the inside of
the wall.
•
Place the small white plastic spacer under the mounting
strap. Secure the mounting strap to location 1 using the
5/8-inch Phillips head screw (supplied) and the plastic
spacer.
•
Secure the other end of the strap to the white plastic
opening, location 2, using the Phillips-head screw
removed in step 3.
