BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions
6
• Wait for confirmation message on Programmer
• Confirm/qualify registration at new component
• Repeat for additional components
Finally, the installer may perform any additional system
programming and a walk test before turning the system over to
the customer.
2.6 Install Keypads
Keypads are surface-mounted in any convenient interior location,
at a height that is convenient for use. The BHS-i100 supports up
to 4 Keypads. More than one Keypad can be in use at one time.
NOTE
Once a Keypad obtains power from either its
battery or the power supply, the Keypad should
beep once every 30 seconds. This beeping
indicates that the Keypad does not contain
identity information and has not yet been
registered into a BHS-i100 system. On initial
power up, if the Keypad does not begin beeping
once every 30 seconds, it will need to be reset
to factory default condition.
2.6.1 Wiring & Mounting Keypads
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the
Keypad. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding strap
to discharge yourself.
Note: Do NOT use an outlet that is controlled by a switch.
1. Select a location on a convenient and accessible wall.
2. To open the Keypad housing, insert a flat-head screwdriver
into the latch slots at the base of the Keypad and twist the
screwdriver one-quarter turn. If present, the battery must be
first removed. The front of the Keypad contains static
sensitive printed circuit boards. Set the front of the Keypad
on the static protected packing material until needed for the
mounting steps below.

3. Mount at height convenient for use, typically 55 to 60 inches
above the floor. A wire must be run from the Keypad to the
Power Supply, so choose the location wisely to minimize
the difficulty of running the wire. The Keypad is designed
to be mounted on drywall or wood. Mounting on metal
studs, or any type of brick, stone, or concrete block will
likely reduce the wireless range of the Keypad.
4. Hold back plate level up to the wall where the Keypad will
be mounted and mark area for wires to run through wall.
Figure 3
5. Make hole in wall. Run wires (18 gauge stranded wire) from
the mounting location of Keypad to the outlet where Power
Supply will be mounted.
6. Mount the Keypad back plate to the wall using #8 drywall
screws.
7. Attach the wires to the power terminals of the Keypad. If the
wire is color coded, note the attachment color used for the
positive terminal of the Keypad. This same color wire
should connect to the positive terminal of the Power Supply.
The Keypad has a protection circuit in case the wires are
connected with the wrong polarity. Later, when the Power
Supply is mounted, if the Keypad does not receive power
from the Power Supply, switch the polarity of the wire
connections on the Power Supply.
8. Snap the front of the Keypad, containing the printed circuit
boards onto the back plate, first hooking the top of the
Keypad on the top of the back plate, and then rotating the
bottom of the Keypad into position. The rotating action
should be relatively free and require a minimum of force. If
any pressure or difficulty is encountered, do not apply force.
Investigate the routing of the wires and the alignment of the
plastics and components and then re-try the rotating action.
The Keypad will snap at the bottom to lock its mounting.
2.6.2 Wire the Power Supply
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the
Power Supply. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding
strap to discharge yourself.
1. Select an outlet on which to mount the Power Supply.
Choose an outlet that is preferably close to the location
where the Keypad is mounted.
2. Find the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the outlet to
which the Power Supply will be mounted and disconnect
power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker off or
removing the fuse.
3. Remove the center screw attaching the outlet cover to the
outlet.
4. Attach the wires to the Power Supply terminals, noting the
polarity of the wire colors (if any). The Power Supply
generates a polarity sensitive +5 volts DC. If the Keypad
does not receive power from the Power Supply, switch the
polarity of the wire connections on the Power Supply.
5. The Power Supply contains a tab that protrudes above the
Power Supply. The Power Supply must be mounted so that
the hole in the tab is aligned with the center screw hole of
the outlet cover. This may require changing the vertical
orientation of the Power Supply in order to find the direction
which permits the hole in the tab to align with the center
screw hole of the outlet cover.
