Preparing For Installation
 System Components
There are four primary components
to be installed:
1. The Keypad should be mounted
on the wall adjacent to the door.
It should be on the same side as
the door strike and about 4 feet
above the oor.
2. The Control Module should be
mounted inside the building
near a power source. Typically
the control module is hidden
in a false ceiling or closet. The
control module must be located in an environmentally controlled
area where the temperature remains between -40°C and +49°C
(-40° F and 125° F).
3. The Wiring Cable connects the keypad to the control module. It
is important not to locate the cable adjacent to any wiring that
carries line voltage. Included with the system is a 15-foot CL2
12 conductor jacketed wiring cable of which only 11 wires are
used. If the Control Module must be located further than 15 feet
from the Keypad, additional cable may be spliced. The maximum
distance between the Keypad and the Control Module must not
exceed 1,000 feet. For runs over 200 feet, 18 gauge wire should
be used. Under 200 feet, 20 gauge is acceptable.
4. The Electric Strike/Other Locking Device (not included) connects
to the KE-265’s Main Relay output via a strike cable. (Appendix
B – Typical Wiring Diagrams – page 31.)
