XK-7LC and XK-716 Recessed Mounting
1- Select the desired location for mounting the
keypad. Note: For recessed mounting this must be
between two studs. Note: The rear plastic mounting
plate is not used for recessed installations.
2- Create an opening in the wall exactly 4 inches
high by 5 13/16 inches wide. As a template see
diagram provided on the inside rear cover of this
manual.
3- Turn over the keypad and remove the Phillips
head screw (item 1 on diagram) in the upper left
hand side of the keypad printed circuit board. Note:
This screw is located immediately to the left of the
keypad connector.
4- Attach the black metal mounting strap to the
rear of the keypad as follows (see diagram):
- Face the pointed section of the mounting strap
facing the front of the keypad. This will be used to
latch onto the inside of the wall.
- Place the small white plastic spacer underneath
the mounting strap. Secure the mounting strap
using the 5/8 inch Phillips head screw (supplied
with the keypad mounting hardware) and the
plastic spacer to location 1.
- Secure the other end of the strap (location 2 on
diagram) to the white plastic opening using the
Phillips head screw removed in step 2.
5- Connect the white plastic tab into the round
opening immediately behind the keypad door. Place
the longer Phillips head screw located with the
keypad mounting hardware through the opening
inside the keypad door and begin to tighten the
screw. At this point, loosely tighten the screw and
leave the tab in a downright position.
6- Run the keypad wiring to the control panel and
attach the wiring to the keypad.
7- Place the keypad into the wall opening with the
side containing the black metal strap first. The
black metal strap with the hook will act as a spring
and grab the inside of the wall.
8- After inserting the side of the keypad with the
metal strap, insert the other side into the opening
until the entire keypad is firmly in the wall.
Straighten out the keypad to the desired position.
9- Open the keypad door and completely tighten the
screw inserted in step 5. This will cause the plastic
piece previously inserted into the back to flip up
and tightly grab the inside of the wall.
