Installation
Cabling Keypads
Cooper Security recommend that you use 8-core 7/0.2 or 16/0.2 alarm cable for
wiring keypads
You can connect the keypads in either a star or bus configuration. If you are
intending to use long cable runs then Cooper Security recommend that you use
star wiring with no more than 200m of cable per branch.
Siting Restrictions (9940 only)
The 9940 keypad contains a coil inside the case that acts as the sensor for
proximity tags used to set and unset alarm systems. The coil works at a low radio
frequency and has a spherical detection pattern of roughly 120mm radius. This
detection sphere can extend through wood, brick, plaster, glass and plastic walls.
Electromagnetic devices, including other 9940 or 9950 keypads, can interfere with
the operation of the coil.
When siting the keypad:
Avoid magnetic devices, for example: electric motors, door releases,
microwave detectors or ovens.
Avoid large metal structures. Remember that screwing a keypad to a metal
frame may significantly alter the detection range
Avoid fitting keypads anywhere near an entryphone, loudspeaker, PA
system, or other proximity reader or security tagging system
Do not put two keypads back to back even if there is a wall between them
If any of these conditions are present, you should test the operation of the keypad
with a prox tag at the proposed site before permanently installing the keypad.
In addition, remember to warn users that holding a mobile phone in the same
hand as a tag may seriously affect the reading performance.
