Mounting
Mount the keypad where it is accessible to designated points of
entry and exit. Once a dry and secure location is selected, per-
form the following steps to mount the keypad:
1. Remove the keypad frontplate by inserting a screwdriver
into the slots located on the top of the keypad.
2. Secure the keypad backplate to the wall in the desired loca-
tion. Use all the screws provided. Use the plastic anchors
supplied if the unit is to be mounted on drywall.
3. To use the keypad tamper, insert the supplied tamper
switch into the opening located in the centre of the back-
plate, and secure the tamper to the wall with a screw.
4. For tamper use, the backplate should be mounted on a
smooth, flat surface. If mounting on a rough surface, fasten
the enclosed surface tape to the wall to even out the surface
area where the tamper will be positioned.
5. Before attaching the keypad to its backplate, complete the
keypad wiring as described in the next section.

Wiring
1. Before wiring the unit, ensure that all power (AC trans-
former and battery) is disconnected from the control panel.
2. Connect the four Keybus wires from the control panel (red,
black, yellow and green) to the keypad terminals (RED,
BLK, YEL, GRN). Consult the diagram below:
3. Connect a device, such as a door con-
tact, to the 'Z' terminal of the
PC1404RKZ. This eliminates the
need to run wires back to the control
panel for the device. To connect the
zone, run one wire from the device to
the 'Z' terminal and the other wire
from the device to the BLK (black) terminal. For powered
devices, run the red wire to the RED (positive) terminal and
the black wire to the BLK (negative) terminal. When using
end of line supervision, connect the zone according to one
of the configurations outlined in your system's Installation
Manual.
Applying Power
Once all wiring is complete, apply power to the control panel:
1. Connect the battery leads to the battery.
2. Connect the AC transformer.
For more information on control panel power specifications, see
the control panel Installation Manual.
Note: Do not connect the power until all wiring is complete.
Enrolling the Keypad
See 2.6 Keypad Assignment to enroll the keypad.
