DAX66 INSTALLATION — KEYPADS
INSTALLATION Keypads
Use high quality Cat5e/6 cable between the controller/amplifier and the keypads. Proper installation techniques will guarantee that the
keypads will work properly up to 600 feet from the controller/amplifier. The use of terminal blocks on the keypads and keypad hub
ultimately reduces the frustration associated with terminating UTP cable with RJ45 plugs. The PCB is labeled 1 ~ 6 at the location
corresponding to the terminal blocks. Attach the conductors in the same order on each end of the cable. See illustrations on the
previous page.
• Strip the insulation from the UTP (Cat 5e cable) about three inches. Don't be concerned that too much insulation has been
removed since the wire will be hidden in the wall behind the keypad.
• Remove approximately 1/4" of insulation from the conductors and insert into the terminal block. Tighten the screw terminal on
the block to hold the wire in place. Do not over tighten the screw to avoid stripping out the terminal.
• Attach the terminal block to the mating connector on the keypad or the keypad hub.
Use standard electrical boxes or low voltage rings to mount the keypads and keypad hub. Mount the keypad hub less than 7 ~ 10 feet
from the controller/amplifier. Connect the keypad hub to the master controller/amplifier using a standard Ethernet patch cable.
NOTE:
Always follow local building codes and use proper electrical boxes and low voltage rings.
