Installing a Savant Keypad Link
The SKL-1000 and the SKL-4000 connect the Savant keypads to the SSL-P002 or SSL-P018 controller.
The SKL-1000 connects up to 12 keypads and the SKL-4000 connects up to 40 keypads. If multiple
SKL-4000s are daisy-chained, up to eight units, a maximum of 256 keypads can be connected.
Savant recommends you locate the SKL-1000 or SKL-4000 close to the original placement of the station
bus terminations. The installer must ensure that the original station bus wiring is compliant with the
specifications of the Savant keypad link device being used. If the station bus wiring is not compliant with
the new device, rewiring or other reconfiguration will be necessary.
To connect the SKL-4000 to a SmartLighting controller (SSL-P018 or SSL-P002), do the following.
1. Using Cat 5/5e/6 cable, plug the RJ-45 connector into the
Station
port (4) on the SSL-P018
Mod-1 RS-232 port
Station Port 4
Station Port 4
RJ-45 POE/Ethernet Port
2. Using the same Cat 5/5e/6 cable, plug the other RJ-45 connector in to the
RS-422 IN
port at the top
of the SKL-4000.
