The KP10 is fitted on the wall by fixing it into a standard single USA-type J-Box (electrician’s
back-box). All knock-outs in the back-box should be removed to provide maximum
ventilation.
Where it is desired to fit a mains lighting switch etc next to a keypad, a barrier-box or two
single back-boxes must be used (bear in mind it is not preferable to fit the keypad next to a
light-switch particularly if the faceplate styles will differ). Only a qualified electrician should
attempt such installations.
Avoid fitting the KP10 where there is line of sight to another KP10. In such situations both
keypads may pick up the same commands from a remote control and it will be difficult to
control each zone independently.
Avoid fitting the KP10 where there is line of sight to the source equipment for the system.
In such situations the source equipment may pick up the same IR commands directly as
are picked up by the keypad and sent to the source equipment. This can interfere with the
remote operation of the source equipment.
Do not fit the keypad in areas directly lit by strong sunlight or where it will be strongly lit by
fluorescent tubes. These can be sources of infra-red energy which can interfere with the
remote control operation of the system. Some plasma televisions can radiate a lot of infra-
red energy and care should be taken if fitting a KP10 near a plasma screen television.
Avoid placing the KP10 near to dimmer switches or other items, which generate a lot of
electrical noise.
