Essex Electronics KE-265 - Manual (Page 4)

Preparing for Installation Keypad Options
All Essex Keypads are designed to perform reliably in even the
most extreme environmental conditions. Operating
temperatures can range from -40
°C to +70°C (-40°F to 160°F).
The KE-265 is compatible with any of the following Keypad
styles/configurations
:

1. The Keypad should be
mounted on the wall
adjacent to the door.
It should be on the
same side as the door
strike and about 4 feet
above the floor.
2. The Control Module
should be mounted
inside the building
near a power source.
Typically the control
module is hidden in a
false ceiling or closet.
The control module must be located in an environmentally
controlled area where the temperature remains between
– 40
°C and +49°C (-40° F and 125° F.)
Typical Installation
3. The Wiring Cable connects the keypad to the control
module. It is important not to locate the cable adjacent to
any wiring that carries line voltage. Included with the
system is a 15-foot CL2 12 conductor jacketed wiring cable
of which only 11 wires are used. If the Control Module
must be located further than 15 feet from the Keypad,
additional cable may be spliced. The maximum distance
between the Keypad and the Control Module must not
exceed 1,000 feet (250 feet for an Illuminated 5-Pad). For
runs over 200 feet, 18 gauge wire should be used. Under
200 feet, 20 gauge is acceptable.
4. The Electric Strike/Other Locking Device(not included)
connects to the KE-265’s Main Relay output via a strike
cable. (See Appendix B – Typical Wiring Diagrams. Page
