7-2 The Keypad Installation Manual
Positioning the Keypad
The Keypad should be located within 3 to 5 feet
of the monitored door or elevator. In hallway
applications, mount the Keypad just outside of
the zone to avoid alarm activation when
escorting a monitored resident.
If your system includes the optional Push Button
Override (PBO), it is recommended to mount it
on the other side of the wall directly behind the
Keypad.
