Wired Installation of the Keypad
NOTE: If you also plan to power the keypad with the gate opener’s power source, run two pairs of wires as described below. One
pair to hard-wire the keypad and the other pair to connect the keypad to the gate opener’s battery.
Step 1: Turn the gate opener’s power switch OFF. Use 16 gauge, stranded, direct burial low voltage wire (part no. RB509) to
connect the keypad to the opener control board. Run wire through PVC pipe from the ground to keypad and from the ground to the
opener control board to protect the wire from lawn mowers or grazing animals.
Determine how the wire will enter the keypad (i.e. from the back through a hole drilled in the mounting post or running the wire on
the surface of the post). Remove the small rectangular knock-out on the back of the keypad cover and pull the wire into the cover.
Then mount the cover to the post using the screws provided.
Step 2: For hard-wired communication between the keypad and gate opener, using 16 gauge (AWG) stranded, direct burial, low
voltage wire (part no. RB509) strip the wires back 3/16” and attach the wires to the terminal block marked RELAY OUTPUT on
the keypad control board as shown to the right. Connect the other end to the opener’s control board as shown in Control Board
Connections section below.
To wire the power supply to the keypad, attach the wires to the AC/DC POWER IN terminal on the keypad control board as shown to the right.
Connect the other end to the opener’s battery - one end to the POSITIVE (RED) pole and the other to the NEGATIVE (BLACK) pole.
NOTE: For a hard-wired application the jumper between the two terminals on the keypad control board must be connected (ON) as
shown. This will disable the 318 MHz RF transmitter.
Step 3: Slide the keypad into the cover and secure with the small screws provided.
Step 4: Turn the power to the opener OFF. Remove the opener control board cover and feed enough of the low voltage wire from
the keypad through a strain relief to reach the gate opener control board terminals.
