8. Attach the mounting plate to the wall using the three screw holes (see B in Fig. 5).

Determining the Wire Gauge and Maximum Length

To determine the appropriate wire gauge and length to use, measure the voltage output of the control panel’s power terminals. The terminals are located on the back of the control panel.
TIP: To avoid the reporting and display of nuisance “AC Power Loss” messages, the measured voltage must not fall below 14 Volts DC.
Use the table below as a guide for selecting the gauge for the power wires. To ensure proper operation, do not exceed the following maximum length for the wire gauge installed:

IMPORTANT: In the United States, wiring routed inside walls, ceilings, and floors must be in compliance with the requirements for NFPA 70: National Electric Code and local building codes. To satisfy these requirements, it is recommended that the wiring from the AC Power Adapter output be rated CL2, CL2X, CL2R, or PLTC. When installing wiring in a plenum space (e.g., a pathway used to facilitate air circulation for heating and air conditioning systems) the wire must be plenum-rated (CL2P).

Connecting the Power to the Keypad

There are two ways to provide power to the keypad. If you are using wires, see section above for appropriate wires to be applied. If you will be connecting power using the barrel connection option, skip down below to Barrel Power Connection Option section. Only one power connection type is required.
