7800 Series Keypad Installation Guide 3
PRELIMINARY
Installing the Keypad
All DMP keypad housings are designed to easily install on any single-gang switch box,
or a at surface. Figure 1 shows the keypad housing base mounting hole locations.
Remove the Cover
The keypad housing is made up of two parts: the cover, which
contains the circuit board and components, and the base. Use
the following steps and gures to separate the keypad cover
and base.
1. Insert a at screwdriver into one of the slots on the
bottom of the keypad and gently lift the screwdriver
handle toward you while pulling the halves apart. Repeat
with the other slot.
2. Using your hands, gently separate the front from the base
and set the cover and components aside.
Harness Wiring
Figure 1 shows wiring harness assignments. Observe wire colors when connecting the
red, yellow, green, and black wires to the keypad bus. Connect red to panel terminal
7, yellow to terminal 8, green to terminal 9, and black to panel terminal 10. Use 1k
Ohm EOL resistors, DMP Model 311, on keypad zones 1 through 4.
The 7860, and 7863 keypads are supplied with a 4-wire harness for panel keypad bus
connection.
The 7870, and 7873 keypads are supplied with a 12-wire data bus/zone harness. Four
wires connect to the keypad bus. The remaining eight wires are for the four zone
inputs: two wires for each zone.
The 7873 keypad comes with one 5-wire output/reader harness.
Additional Power Supply
If the current draw for all keypads exceeds the panel output, provide additional
current by adding a Model 505-12 auxiliary power supply. Connect all keypad black
ground wires to the power supply negative terminal. Run a jumper wire from the
power supply negative terminal to the panel common ground terminal. Connect
all keypad power (+12 VDC) wires to the power supply positive terminal. Do NOT
connect the power supply positive terminal to any panel terminal. Refer to the
505-12 Power Supply Installation Guide (LT-0453).
