INSTALLING THE 6160RF

 

Locate the 6160RF in an area and at a height where it is 
convenient for user operation. The 6160RF must be at least 
10 ft from the control panel to ensure proper operation of the 
RF receiver. 

Mounting and Wiring 

The 6160RF has terminal blocks for connection to power and 
data wires. Removing the keypad’s case back provides 
access to the terminal blocks. 
The 6160RF can be surface mounted directly to walls, or to a 
single- or double-gang electrical box. Follow these steps to 
mount and wire the keypad: 
1.  Push the two case release snaps at the bottom of the 

keypad with the blade of a medium screwdriver (this will 
push in the release snap), then pull that side of the case 
back away. Insert the screwdriver in the side of the 
keypad (between the front and back case) and gently 
twist to release the side locking tab. Repeat for the other 
side. Refer to Figure 1 for location of the case back 
release snaps and locking tabs.

2.  Pass the wiring from the control panel through the 

opening in the case back. (see the control panel’s 
instructions for proper run lengths.)  

a.  If surface wiring is being used, wiring may be routed 

through the top or the bottom left-side breakout in the 
case back. The breakouts must be punched out using 
a screwdriver before mounting the case back.  

b.  If desired, wires may be strain-relieved to the wire tie 

point on the inside of the case back with a tie wrap 
(not supplied). 

3.  Mount the case back to a wall or to an electrical box using 

the 25mm-long self-tapping screws supplied (mollies for 
drywall are not supplied).  

4.  Connect the power and data wires from the control panel 

to the terminals on the 6160RF as indicated in Figure 2 
and Table 1
