Connection Instructions

1. Ensure it is possible to run the wire to the location you have chosen.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

To install the keypad, you will need to use a UL/CSA approved plastic single-gang (18 ci) electrical box.

Route CAT-5 wire to the electrical box from the CA4 Wall

Port. The cable length from the wall port to the keypad should not exceed a total of 240'. Mark the cables with the zone number or location. Use the supplied 6' CAT-5 patch cables to connect the controller to the wall port.

Terminate the CAT-5 wire with a RJ-45 plug using the

T568A standard configuration. Plug the wire into the jack on the rear of the keypad.

Ensure the 2-pin jumper is in the off position (on one pin only) or removed from the pins.

Source labels must be inserted prior to installing the trim plate on the keypad. Determine the system’s source names and numbers. (e.g., CD, Source 1).

Select the corresponding source name label from the included label sheets. Left-side labels are used for sources

1 and 3; right-side labels are used for sources 2 and 4.

8.

9.

Slide the label into the window slot until the source name is centered in the window.

Push any extra cable back into the wall or electrical box.

Align the keypad back plate and screw the keypad to the electrical box.

10. Place the foam around the keypad face, and then align and screw the trim plate to the keypad.

Important: All four connections from the controller to the wall port must be made, even if there are less than 4 keypads connected to the system. Cables between the wall port and the controller must match numerically (#1 on the wall port to #1 on the controller). Swapping cables between wall port jacks and the controller may damage the system.

All ON Usage Note: If initiating an All ON command, all other powered zones will automatically be placed into a

Party Mode as non-Masters and will not have independent source selection. The initiating keypad is the Master and will need to be turned off to discontinue the Party Mode before source selection can be available for other zones.
