INSTALLATION

Mounting the Panel

Select a dry location close to an unswitched AC source, a ground connection, and the telephone connection.
Remove the printed circuit board, mounting hardware and keypad from the cardboard retainer inside the
control panel cabinet. Before attaching the cabinet to the wall, press the four white nylon printed circuit board
mounting studs into the raised mounting holes from the back of the cabinet.
Hold the cabinet in position and pull all wires into the cabinet. Mount the cabinet securely to the wall using the
mounting screws provided. It is recommended that appropriate wall anchors be used when securing the panel
to drywall, plaster, concrete, brick or other similar surfaces using #8x1" round headed screws (or equivalent).
Press the PC560 Control Panel onto the nylon mounting studs. Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them
for connection.
NOTE: All holes in metal which have insulated wires passing through them should have bushings to
prevent insulation breakdown.

Mounting the Keypad

The PC560 Control Panel is controlled with the PC500RK or SL-40 Keypad. The Keypad should be located close
to the designated "Entry-Exit" door and mounted at a height convenient for all users.
Disassemble the keypad by pressing gently on the locking tab found on the bottom of the unit. With the tab
disengaged, pull the backplate from the keypad.
Prepare a hole in the wall at the desired location and pull the keypad wiring through the hole. Hold the backplate
in position and pull the wires through the large opening in the backplate. Mount the backplate to the wall using
the hardware provided; it is recommended that plastic wall anchors be used. When mounting the backplate,
ensure that it is straight and level.
Prepare all wires for connection and connect the keypad wires to the in-wall wiring; refer to the Wiring Diagram
in the back of this manual.
Align the keypad with the mounting tabs on the top of the backplate. With the top mounting tabs engaged, swing
the keypad down and engage the bottom locking tab. Ensure that the top mounting tabs and the bottom locking
tab are securely engaged.
