Adding a Keypad
CAUTION:
6. Make sure that the keypad wiring is fed through the large opening on
the keypad backplate, then position the keypad base on the wall and
attach it securely with the three No. 6 Pan-head screws.
7. If an off the wall tamper is required, using a No. 6 Pan-head screw,
secure the sacrificial wall tamper, indicated in Figure 4-2, to the wall.
Make sure that the tamper knockout is still connected to the backplate
moulding.
8. Connect the A, B and power wires to the correct terminals of the
removable, four-way connector block.
9. Make sure that the power is disconnected then set the keypad to a
unique address using the 16 way rotary switch on the PCB.
10. To re-assemble the keypad, connect the four-way connector block onto
the pins on the keypad PCB. Attach the keypad front plate to the back
plate by inserting the two clips on the top of the keypad front plate into
the two apertures at the top of the keypad back plate, then gently push
the bottom of the keypad front plate into the back plate until it snaps
securely into place.
Note: The keypad door can be re-orientated to allow opening from either
the left or right-hand sides. However, fitting or removal of the door must
only be done when the front plate is detached from the back plate.
Attempting to remove or install the door, when the keypad is assembled,
may cause damage to the keypad mouldings.

Adding a Keypad to the System

When adding a keypad to an existing system, the following points must be
considered:
1. Ensure that the keypad to be added has a unique address from the other
keypads on the system.
2. Ensure that there are no more than two keypads already on the system
3. A new keypad can only be configured into a Galaxy 16 or 16 plus
system from Engineer Mode.

Configuring a Keypad on to the System

To configure a keypad onto the system:
1. Access Engineer Mode.
2. Ensure that the AB line of the keypad is wired in parallel with the AB
line of the existing keypads.
3. Connect the + 12 V d.c. and – 0 V terminals of the keypad to a power
supply.
Use of any screws other than No. 6 Pan-head can
damage thekeypad mouldings.
