Connection Instructions
Ensure it is possible to run the wire to the location you
1.
have chosen.
To install the keypad, you will need to use a UL/CSA
2.
approved plastic single-gang (18 ci) electrical box.
Route CAT-5 wire to the electrical box from the CA4 Wall
3.
Port. The cable length from the wall port to the keypad
should not exceed a total of 240'. Mark the cables with
the zone number or location. Use the supplied 6' CAT-5
patch cables to connect the controller to the wall port.
Terminate the CAT-5 wire with a RJ-45 plug using the
4.
T568A standard configuration. Plug the wire into the jack
on the rear of the keypad.
Ensure the 2-pin jumper is in the off position (on one pin
5.
only) or removed from the pins.
Source labels must be inserted prior to installing the
6.
trim plate on the keypad. Determine the system’s source
names and numbers. (e.g., CD, Source 1).
Select the corresponding source name label from the
7.
included label sheets. Left-side labels are used for sources
1 and 3; right-side labels are used for sources 2 and 4.
Slide the label into the window slot until the source
8.
name is centered in the window.
Push any extra cable back into the wall or electrical box.
9.
Align the keypad back plate and screw the keypad to the
electrical box.
Place the foam around the keypad face, and then align
10.
and screw the trim plate to the keypad.
Important:
All four connections from the controller to the
wall port must be made, even if there are less than 4 keypads
connected to the system. Cables between the wall port and
the controller must match numerically (#1 on the wall port
to #1 on the controller). Swapping cables between wall port
jacks and the controller may damage the system.
