Properly connecting and installing the keypad requires careful planning
before you begin.  Read this entire manual and plan your installation
before continuing.

Here are some important points to consider when planning your installation:

    Where will you mount the keypad? - The keypad is designed only for 
    indoor installation.  It should be readily accessible to those who will
    use it, but should not be easily seen by an intruder and should be away
    from dust, dirt, and temperature or humidity extremes. No motion sensor
    or switch on an instant zone should be violated during normal entry and
    access to the keypad while the system is armed.

    What other hardware and tools do you need? - You should mount the 
    keypad in a standard single-gang electrical box (the kind used for 
    single wall switches and AC outlets).  Once you install this box, you
    need four-conductor cable and a screwdriver to connect the keypad to
    your alarm system.

NOTE:  You can mount the keypad directly on wooden or plasterboard walls, 
       without an electrical box.  However, the electrical box gives added 
       stability and protects the keypad from tampering.
