Installing the Zone Keypads
Location Considerations
• DO NOT install the electrical box in non-climate controlled locations such as outside the house, in outside
walls, or in a garage.
• DO NOT install the electrical box in stud cavities that contain other wiring, ductwork, air-return cavities,
piping, etc.
• DO NOT install the electrical box within 18 inches of dimmers, fluorescent light fixtures, security wiring,
or other control wiring.
• DO NOT install the electrical box within 2 inches of room corners.
Electrical Double-Gang Box Rough-In
• Mount one side of the double-gang electrical box to a wall stud.
- The bottom of the box should be approximately 52 inches, or as requested, from the finished floor.
Wiring Considerations
• Keep all Zone Keypad wiring away from 120/240V wires, dimmers, and other control wiring.
• The 16-gauge, 2-conductor wire for power supply and 18-gauge, 2-conductor speaker wire enter the electrical box
on the left side, when you are looking into the box.
