Keypad Installation
1. Ensure it is possible to 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 electrical 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. For the KP4 key-
pad, insert the source name labels in the appropriate slots
before attaching the back plate and trim plate.

CAT-5 to KP4/KPL Connection
The KP4/KPL keypad uses a 110-
punchdown terminal on the back
panel to provide simple installation
and a 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 KP4 keypad as
shown, matching the conductor col-
ors 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 con-
tact points. Use of the impact tool
may propel stray bits of wire and jack-
et into the keypad’s chassis and possi-
bly 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.
Source Label Installation
Note: Source labels must be inserted prior to installing the trim
plate on the keypad.
1. Determine the system’s source names and numbers
(e.g., CD, Source 1).
2. Select the corresponding source name label from the includ-
ed label sheets. Left-side labels are used for sources 1, 3
and 5; right-side labels are used for sources 2, 4 and 6.
3. Slide the label into the window slot until the source name is
centered in the window.
