Installing VP Series Keypads
Power and data communication wiring is the most important wiring
component for VP devices. The VP requires power and communication
lines to be supplied from the controller. We recommend that power and
data communication be run through a single 18 AWG, 4-conductor shielded
cable as this cable works well in most cases. Some installations require
larger gauge wire. See Figure 3 for details on connecting the wiring to the
VP device.
Figure 10
In addition to the power and communication cable, cables may also be
needed for the intercom, gate operator, door strike, presence detector, or
other device. Never install any other devices in the same run of wire as the
VP. Use a different cable for each device. Most communities require the
wiring to be supplied to the VP through approved electrical conduit. Local
building codes determine the actual installation techniques and wiring
methods. Only licensed contractors should install VP devices.
The installation methods used are critical to trouble-free operation of the
keypad. Most of the problems that surface over time can be traced back to
poor installation techniques or improper wiring.
NOTE: All installations must conform to local building and electrical codes. When
discrepancies exist between local codes and this manual, local code takes
precedence.
