Refer to the gate or door strike manufacturer’s instructions to
determine whether it needs to be connected to the normally
open and common or to the normally closed and common.
An earth ground must be supplied either:
- Through the mounting of the keypad to a conductive
surface with an earth ground.
- Using the earth ground wire and a proper earth ground
connection.
13
The earth ground wire is connected in locations where the
keypad is mounted on a wall that is wood, stone, or other
nonconductive material. It is not always necessary when it is
mounted on a grounded bollard or gooseneck.
14
To connect the ground wire, run a copper wire from a grounded
water pipe or from a copper rod in the ground to the keypad
and connect it to the green earth ground wire using a wire nut.
In this case, Jumper J1 should be set to ‘Normal’.
15
This installation must meet applicable code as the type of wire,
depth of burial, and size of the rod may vary by municipality
16
Connect any additional features such as an intercom, gate
operator, or pinhole camera. Details are on page 14 to
page 17.

After all wiring is complete, gently push the excess wire
back through the hole in the wall or gooseneck, leaving just
enough slack to allow the keypad to be opened for service
or maintenance. Seal the back wire hole with outdoor-rated
silicone sealant and then screw the housing back together.
Loose un-insulated wires (Typically used for earth ground)
cannot be located inside the unit’s case. Make connections for
un-insulated ground wire outside the case.
