INSTALLATION

Before installing the keypad, the unit must be partially
disassembled to access the mounting plate. The keypad’s bezel
can be exchanged for a different color when the keypad is apart.

Opening the Keypad
The keypad assembly is secured with two tamper-resistant screws
that are hidden behind the keypad’s faceplate. Refer to Figure 3 for
disassembly details.

❑ Use a small fl at blade screwdriver to pry off the keypad’s

faceplate.

❑ Use the special allen wrench (supplied) to remove the two

tamper-resistant screws.

❑ Separate the mounting plate from the keypad assembly.

Changing the Keypad’s Bezel
The colored keypad bezels snap onto the keypad assembly. Refer
to Figure 4 for details on changing the bezel.

❑ Gently pull on the edge of the bezel to release the tabs that

hold the bezel to the keypad assembly.

❑ Remove the bezel from the keypad assembly.

❑ Choose the proper color bezel for the installation and snap

it onto the keypad assembly.

Install the Electrical Box and Mounting Plate
The keypad is designed to fi t into a standard single-gang electrical
box. Select a location near the controlled door and choose a
convenient height for the keypad. Be sure there is good wiring
accessibility for the unit’s power and the output to the door strike
or access device.

❑ Install the electrical box in the wall.

❑ Screw the mounting plate onto the electrical box (see

Figure 5).
