Unpacking
The Power keypad package includes the following parts:
Placement
The RFK5501/5500 performs best in locations where RF interference
is minimal. To find an optimal mounting location for the keypad, per-
form the following placement test:
Step 1- Temporarily connect the Keybus wires to the keypad (refer to
wiring instructions).
Step 2- Hold the keypad in the intended mounting location.
Step 3- Enter keypad programming mode by pressing [

][8][installer
code], then enter section[904].
Step 4- If the yellow Trouble LED is on, interference levels are high and
a new mounting location should be found. If the LED is flashing or off,
interference is low and the location is good.
Mounting
You should mount the keypad where it is accessible to designated
points of entry and exit. Once you have selected a dry and secure loca-
tion, perform the following steps to mount the keypad.
Disassemble Keypad
1. Insert a flat head screwdriver into the provided slot (first of two)
2. Move screwdriver toward the back plastic and lift as in the below
diagram. This will unhook one side of the front plastic.
3. Repeat step # 1 and 2 on the second provided slot to disconnect
the front plastic and allow access for wiring.
Mount and Wire Keypad
1. Secure Keypad to wall using mounting holes. Use all 4 screws provided
unless mounting on a single gang box.
2. Place keypad into hooks on the backplate and swing down to engage.
3. Run wire through wiring slot or knockouts. Connect Keybus and PGM/Zone
wiring to keypad. Place tamper switch into tamper hole on backplate.
4. Remove keypad from hooks. Place keypad into backplate, ensure the wire
is pushed back into the wall as much as possible. Route the wire inside
the keypad ensuring high components are avoided. Snap the front assem-
bly closed, ensuring that there is no pressure to the keypad from the wire
below.
NOTE: If any tension found between the front keypad assembly and wiring,
please open the keypad reroute the wire and close again. Repeat these
steps until the keypad is closed properly.
Wiring
1. Before wiring the unit, ensure that all power (AC transformer and battery)
is disconnected from the control panel.
2. Connect the four Keybus wires from the con-
trol panel (red, black, yellow and green) to
the keypad terminals. Refer to diagram:
3. If programmed as an input, you can con-
nect a device - such as a door contact - to
the ‘P/Z’ terminal of the keypad. This elim-
inates the need to run wires back to the
control panel for the device. To connect the
zone, run one wire from the device to the ‘P/Z’ terminal and the other wire
from the device to the B (black) terminal. For powered devices, run the red
wire to the R (positive) terminal and the black wire to the B (negative)
terminal. When using end of line supervision, connect the zone according
to one of the configurations outlined in your system’s Installation Manual.
4. If the ‘P/Z’ terminal is programmed as an output, the output follows the
PGM programmed in Section [080]. A small relay, buzzer or other DC
