2.  Route the wiring from the control panel through the 

opening in the case back. (See the control panel’s 
instructions for proper wire run lengths.) 

3.  Mount the case back directly to a wall or electrical gang box. 
4.  Connect the power and data wires from the control panel 

to the terminals on the FA270RF as indicated in the 
wiring table. 

5.  Connect the wires for the relay output (if used) to the 

terminals on the FA270RF’s PC board. 

6.  Reattach the keypad to its case back.
