Escutcheon Keypad Assembly

The keypad and 2 ribbon cables are a permanent
part of the escutcheon and are replaced as a unit.

To Remove the Keypad Assembly:

Caution: After removing the screws from the
escutcheon keypad assembly, the assembly is
still attached to the control module by 2 ribbon
cables. Dropping or rough handling of the escutch-
eon will cause the ribbon cable to tear, and the
entire escutcheon keypad assembly will need to
be replaced.

1. Remove the outer door panel (see Door

Panel).

2. Open the door, support the escutcheon key

pad assembly, and remove the 4 screws (2
per side) from the back side of the escutcheon
keypad assembly.

3. Remove the 2 ribbon cable connectors from

the control module and remove the escutch-
eon keypad assembly.

To Replace the Keypad Assembly:

IMPORTANT: When reassembling, the active vent
flapper must be closed before the escutcheon
keypad assembly is installed. Close the active vent
flapper by turning the worm gear by hand. Failure
to do so will cause a misalignment and an in-
crease in noise level.

1. While supporting the escutcheon keypad

assembly, connect the 2 ribbon cable connec-
tors to the control module.

2. Open the door. Align the escutcheon and install

the 4 screws from the back side of the es-
cutcheon keypad assembly.

3. Install the outer door panel (see Door Panel).
