NSTALLING

INSTALLING THE KEYPADS

• The best infrared remote performance is achieved with
the keypad away from any direct sunlight. Also consider
convenience when choosing a location.
• Choose a place that is easily seen from the position where
a person is most likely to be located.
• Check whether or not you can route the wire to the loca-
tion you have chosen.
• Purchase retro-fit plastic junction boxes (min. 20 cubic
inches) or p-rings and cut in the boxes using a key-hole
saw or sheetrock knife/hand saw.
• If you are installing the optional DSC keypad you will
need to use a double-gang electrical box. If you are
installing the CA-LCD, DSC and the optional DAN keypad
you will need to install a triple-gang electrical box.
• If you feel uncomfortable cutting into your walls and
running wire through the walls, seek help from a profes-
sional installer or an electrician.
• Route the wire to the junction box from the CA location.
• If using 22 AWG wire, connect each wire to the correct
position 1 thru 8 using the included punchdown tool.
Refer to List 5.
• If using CAT-5 wire, connect each wire to its correspon-
ding color labeled on the punchdown terminal.
• Mount the keypad in the junction box and attach the
Decora plate.
• The CA-KP.2 keypad has source labels for your conven-
ience. Insert the label in the keypad keeping the input
number in sequence with the source selected.
• Repeat the above steps until all keypads are installed.
