Note: A 50ft communication cable is included and the keypad can be installed up to 300 feet away from the

evaporator unit. Longer lengths can be ordered by calling 1-800-343-9463 ext. 751.

Route the communication cable from the evaporator unit to the desired keypad location. Remove the wall mount

bracket from the display housing. Using appropriate anchors or fasteners, secure the wall mount bracket to the wall.

If routing the communication cable through a wall, connect the wires to the back of the control panel following

the image below. Connect the red wire to the upper (+) terminal. Connect the black wire to the lower (-) terminal. If

the communication cable is not routed through the wall; remove the plug in the side of the display housing. Route

the cable through the hole and connect to the back of the display as shown below. Reattach the keypad box to the

bracket.
