INSTALLING THE 6160RF

 

Locate the 6160RF in an area and at a height where 
it is convenient for user operation. The 6160RF must 
be at least 10 ft from the control panel to ensure 
proper operation of the RF receiver. 

Mounting and Wiring 

The 6160RF has terminal blocks for connection to 
power and data wires. Removing the keypad’s case 
back provides access to the terminal blocks. 
The 6160RF can be surface mounted directly to 
walls, or to a single- or double-gang electrical box. 
Follow these steps to mount and wire the keypad: 
1.  Push the two case release snaps at the bottom of 

the keypad with the blade of a medium 
screwdriver (this will push in the release snap), 
then pull that side of the case back away. Insert 
the screwdriver in the side of the keypad 
(between the front and back case) and gently 
twist to release the side locking tab. Repeat for 
the other side. Refer to Figure 1 for location of the 
case back release snaps and locking tabs.

routed through the top or the bottom left-side 
breakout in the case back. The breakouts must 
be punched out using a screwdriver before 
mounting the case back.

  

b.  If desired, wires may be strain-relieved to the 

wire tie point on the inside of the case back 
with a tie wrap (not supplied). 

3.  Mount the case back

 

to a wall or to an electrical 

box using the 25mm-long self-tapping screws 
supplied (mollies for drywall are not supplied).
