It is necessary to wire the following items to the remote keypad for proper operation:
(1) Low voltage power and safety ground.
(2) RS485 communication wires from the base unit.
(3) Relay contact wires from the keypad relay to the entrance device.
Installation of wiring should proceed as follows:
(1) Install the RS485 communication cable from the keypad to the base unit in the office. A
22 AWG shielded twisted pair with 22 AWG ground wire is best for this purpose.
Terminate the wires as follows:
TS2, pin 1 - Red Wire - to red terminal of remote patch cable
TS2, pin 2 - ground - to white terminal of remote patch cable
TS2, pin 3 - Black Wire - to black terminal of remote patch cable
(2) Install the relay contact wires to the entrance operator; both normally open and normally
closed relay contacts are available on the following terminals:
TS2, pin 4 - Normally open relay contact
TS2, pin 5 - Relay common contact
TS2, pin 6 - Normally closed relay contact
Most electric gate operators require a normally open contact (pins 4 & 5). Some
electric door strikes require a normally closed contact (pins 5 & 6). WARNING:
WIRING THE RELAY TO THE OPERATING DEVICE WILL INTRODUCE THE
OPERATING DEVICE CONTROL VOLTAGE INTO THE REMOTE KEYPAD
CABINET. THE INSTALLER MUST VERIFY THAT THIS DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE A HIGH VOLTAGE! THE PTI KEYPAD IS NOT DESIGNED FOR
THE PRESENCE OF HIGH VOLTAGE WITHIN THE KEYPAD CASE.
(3) Install low voltage power wiring into the keypad from the low voltage power transformer
into TS1 as follows:
TS1, pin 1 - 12 VAC
TS1, pin 2 - 12 VAC
TS1, pin 3 - ground
The PTI remote keypad will operate on voltages from 12V to 24V AC or DC, however,
12VAC is recommended for best operation. If you purchased a complete PTI Falcon
system, a 12VAC transformer is supplied with the system.
(4) The PTI remote keypad has two optional input circuits for reading auxiliary switches.
