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
ST2-KP 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. 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 into
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 or a low voltage
mounting ring.

3. Route CAT-5 wire to the junction box from the ST2 tuner.

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 cover plate.
