KPL Side Panel

The KPL setup button and KPSC 12-pin header are located on
the right side of the keypad (when facing front). These are
covered when a trim plate is installed.

The KPL keypad uses a 110­punchdown terminal on the
back panel to provide a simple
installation and strong connec­tion for CAT-5 cable’s eight con­ductors. Punchdown terminals
require the use of a punchdown
tool. Attach the CAT-5 cable to
the 110-punchdown terminal on
the KPL keypad as shown,
matching the conductor colors
to the connection color guide.
The keypad will not operate
properly if the terminations
deviate from the required con­nection order.

Take care when using an impact
110 punchdown tool, as this may
overspread the contact points.
Be sure to use the lowest setting.
Use of the impact tool may pro­pel stray bits of wire and jacket
into the keypad’s chassis and
possibly cause a short in the cir­cuitry. Gently shake or blow air
through the keypad chassis to
remove stray wire before the key­pad is installed in the junction box.

Keypad Installation

1. Check whether or not you can route the wire to the location

you have chosen.

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

3. Route CAT-5 wire to the junction box from the CA system
controller.

4. Use a 110 punchdown tool to connect each wire to its
corresponding color labeled on the punchdown terminal.

5. Mount the keypad in the electrical box and attach the trim
plate.

Each keypad connects to a Keypad Port on the back of the
controller (CAA66 controller shown below). Connections are
made using CAT-5 cable with an RJ45 connector (wiring
scheme shown below).

An SA-ZX3 Keypad Splitter can be used to add additional
keypads to each zone.
