13-Button Keypad
Overview
The MET-13 Metreau 13 Button keypad (
FG5794-02
) offers 13 buttons (12 single-
width, and 1 double-width) and can be used as in individual keypad or in conjunction
with the MET-6N and MET-7 Metreau keypads (FIG. 1).
The MET-13 is an AxLink keypad, suitable for use in NetLinx Control Systems.
Specifications
Installation
Bhnur Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.
FIG. 2 shows the basic rear components of the MET-13 keypads:
AxLink Device Addressing
AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads use an 8-position mini-DIP switch to specify a unique
device address for each keypad in a NetLinx Control System.
Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching a grounded metal object.
1.
If connected, disconnect the power supply.
2.
Locate the 8-position mini-DIP switch on the rear panel.
3.
Set the DIP switch according to the values shown in FIG. 3.
The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are in the ON
position. Note that the ON position is indicated on the DIP Switch.
As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 3 defines AxLink device number 129
(1+128=129).
If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the power connector to
enter the new device number into memory.
Wiring
Preparing captive wires
Caution:
Do not connect power to the Metreau keypad until the wiring is complete.
Caution: If using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the control system
before wiring the Metreau keypads.
You will need a wire stripper, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the
captive wires.
1.
Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
2.
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the
wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.
3.
Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector.
Note: Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the
connector.
Wiring guidelines
Metreau keypads require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is
supplied via the AxLink or SWT cable. The maximum wiring distance is determined by
power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The
following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable based on the
maximum power consumption rating of 170 mA.
