Be sure to test cable for proper connections
before
making connections.
Multiple Keypad Connections

Zone Termination
The LAST keypad connected in the zone (Keypad with no other keypad plugged into its EXPANSION
port) must have the
Zone Termination
Jumper installed
– Figure 5-(18).
Sensor Enable
To disable the Keypads on-board IR Receiver, remove the
Sensor Enable
jumper on the rear of the
keypad –
Figure 5-(19).
External IR Terminal Block
To conveniently add other Xantech IR Receivers or Keypads (SMARTPAD or WATERPAD) in
conjunction with the MRC88m Keypads, you may wire 18AWG-24AWG 4-conductor wire, directly to the
terminal block on the rear of the Keypad
– Figure 5-(23)
. A 4-conductor screw-type removable
connector is provided to safely wire the +12v, STATUS, IR IN and GND to the rear of the Keypad. This
might be useful when adding a Plasma Friendly (or other) IR Receiver (490-90 etc.) or adding a sub-
zone keypad either outdoors or in a bathroom (WATERPAD Keypad).
