OPTIONAL KEYSWITCH
A keyswitch can be installed in the RE-1 Entry System to provide 
keyed access. The RE-1 case is designed to accept a Medco Model 
KS-M keyswitch.
Keyswitch Installation
1.  Disconnect the wiring harness connector and remove the antenna 
terminal block. Remove the four circuit board retaining screws and the 
RE-1 circuit board (see Figure 16).
2.  Remove the screw and washer that retain the keyswitch hole access 
plate (see Figure 17).
3.  Hold the lock cover and plastic spacer in place on the RE-1 case. 
Secure the assembly with four screws, lock washers, and nuts. Slide 
the keyswitch into the hole, oriented as shown (see Figure 18). 
Secure the keyswitch with the large switch nut. Use bolt cutters to trim 
the two screws closest to the case edge so they will clear the circuit 
board (see Figure 19).
4.  Plug the two keyswitch snap-on wire leads (supplied with the switch) 
onto the keyswitch COM and N.O. pins (see Figure 19).
5.  Replace the RE-1 circuit board. Secure the board with the four 
screws. Reconnect the antenna terminal block and wiring harness 
connector.
6.  Connect one keyswitch wire to the RE-1 OPEN #1 terminal. Connect 
the other keyswitch wire to the RE-1 COMMON terminal.
