KP10 A-BUS keypad
Incognito A-BUS keypad 9
Safety precautions
Care should be taken when choosing the site for a KP10, the keypad must never be
installed in a back-box which also contains mains wiring or in areas of high humidity.
The KP10 runs on 24 V DC supplied through the connecting cable. As such there is no
mains voltage present in the KP10 and the unit is often safe to fit in areas where only extra
low voltage (ELV) equipment is permitted. However, it is imperative that you always check
the wiring regulations in force for your application and area.
Faceplates
The KP10 faceplate system is based on the DecoraTM standard and is interchangeable with
the wide range of faceplates made by manufacturers such as Leviton etc that conform to
this standard. If it is desired to fit another faceplate, it can be replaced by gently prising
apart the KP10 faceplate and snapping on another in its place.
Fitting the keypad
Remove the supplied faceplate from the KP10 by gently prising apart. It will “pop” off.
Connect each wire in the Cat-5 cable to its respective terminal in the screw-down
connector on the back of the KP10 (refer to the Cat-5 to KP10 screw-down connectors
diagram in the ‘Rear panel connections’ section of this guide). The recommended
maximum length for use with standard Cat-5 cable is 30m from hub to keypad in total
(screened Cat-5 cable can also be used). After making the wiring connections, fit the KP10
to the back-box with the two supplied 6x32 UNC 35mm screws. Gently push the faceplate
back on to the module.
Note: If in doubt about any aspect of installation or wiring, seek professional advice from a
qualified installer.
