1. At the main breaker panel, switch off the breaker that supplies power to the keypad that is being replaced. On existing Savant low
voltage systems, remove power from the breaker that supplies power to the SKL-3040 or SKL-1010 keypad controller.
2. When replacing an existing keypad, refer to the keypad’s owner’s manual for proper removal techniques.
3. Disconnect and label each wire as they are detached from the in-wall wires. Labeling ensures the wires get installed onto the new
keypad correctly.
4. Screw the Ascend style keypad wall plate adapter to the electrical box using the two #6-32 x
3/4
inch screws supplied with the new
keypad. Tighten the screws so the adapter sits flush on the wall. DO NOT use a powered screwdriver. A powered screwdriver can
over-tighten and possibly warp the adapter.
5. Connect the in-wall wires to the supplied 5-inch keypad pigtail using an approved wire nut or a similar alternative. Refer to the
section above when making the connections.
Removal and Installation
6. Plug the pigtail wire into the rear of the keypad. The connector
is keyed and can only be plugged one way.
7. Slide the keypad over the wall plate adapter and ensure the
keypad snaps into the four slots located at each corner of
the adapter. Press on all four corners to ensure the keypad is
secure and sitting flush on the wall.
8. Switch on the breaker that supplies voltage to the new keypad.
The keypad will go through a boot sequence, and the button
backlights will cycle red, green, blue, then white.
9. When the boot sequence completes, the backlights then blink
red to indicate the keypad is in the discovery process and the
keypad controller is looking for any keypads wired to each
keypad bus. Refer to the
below for information on the various states.
