Digital Key Switch
(490-0537)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 19969

Properly connecting and installing the keypad requires careful planning
BEFORE YOU BEGIN.  Read this entire manual and plan your installation
before continuing.

This manual includes specific connection drawings for Radio Shack alarm
systems as well as general information for use with other security devices.
Check your security device's owner's manual for specific instructions.

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.

    HOW MANY WIRES DO YOU NEED AND HOW LONG MUST THEY BE? -  determine this
    information by reading "Connections" and checking your alarm system's
    manual.

    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).  See "Installation" Faxback Doc.
    # 19965.  Once you install this box, all you need is a screwdriver to
    complete the keypad's installation.

NOTE:  You can mount the keypad directly on wooden or plasterboard walls,
       without an electrical box.  However, the box gives added security
       and protection.
