SYSTEM WIRING CONNECTIONS
Many sensors come with instructions to help you install
them. Follow the instructions (if provided) with each sensor
to install it in the location you noted in your floor plan. Then
mount the alarm center and connect the sensors and other
security devices to it.
Use this chart and the following sections to connect the sys-
tem’s wiring to the alarm center.
Note: You can power a remote security device by connect-
ing it to Terminals 14 and 15. For more information, see
“Connecting and Powering a Remote Security Device” on
Page 14.
CONNECTING REMOTE KEYPADS
You must connect at least the supplied remote keypad to the
alarm system to arm and disarm it. You can connect up to
three additional remote keypads, in any combination.
Important:
• You must connect each remote keypad to the alarm cen-
ter before you connect power to the alarm system.
• When the alarm system is on, the alarm center con-
stantly confirms that each keypad is still connected to
the system, and vice versa.
• If the connection between the alarm center and keypad
is interrupted when the system is armed, READY and
ARMED alternately flash and the alarm sounds for 4 min-
utes. If the connection between the alarm center and
keypad is interrupted when the system is disarmed, the
pre-alarm sounds for 5 seconds, the alarm sounds for 4
minutes, and
READY and ARMED alternately flash.
Mounting the Keypad
Follow these steps to mount the supplied remote keypad on
a wall.
Note: You need 4-connector phone wire (not supplied) to
connect remote keypads to the alarm system.
1. Select a location on the wall next to (but not directly
over) a wall stud.
2. Using a single-gang electrical box as a template, cut a
hole in the wall the size of the box.
3. Route the connection wires for the remote keypad from
the alarm center through the hole. Be sure to label each
wire to be connected to the remote keypad, and leave
enough slack in the wires so you can attach them to the
keypad later.
4. Insert the electrical box into the hole, then secure it to
the wall by nailing it to the nearby wall stud, or using
metal strips designed for mounting an electrical box in
wallboard. Make sure the electrical box is recessed
slightly below the surface of the wall.
5. Press the button on the bottom of the keypad, then
remove the keypad’s front cover.
6. Connect the wires to the keypad. Connect POWER on
the keypad to Terminal 9 on the alarm center, GND on
the keypad to Terminal 7, DATA1 on the keypad to Termi-
nal 10, and DATA2 on the keypad to Terminal 8.
7. Use the two supplied keypad mounting screws to secure
the keypad inside the electrical box. Then replace the
keypad’s front cover.
Note: If a keypad is disconnected from the alarm center
while the system is armed,
ARMED flashes and the alarm
sounds. Reconnect the keypad to the alarm center and
press
SYSTEM RESET on the alarm center. Then you can
use the keypad with the alarm center again.
