Configurazione e installazione
This section details the steps for replacing an existing KEP-1 keypad with the new 20235R unit.
Precauzioni di sicurezza:
- Always disconnect power to the garage door opener system at the circuit breaker or by unplugging the transformer before beginning any installation or maintenance.
- Assicurarsi che tutti gli utensili siano in buone condizioni di funzionamento.
Fasi di installazione:
- Rimuovere la vecchia tastiera: Carefully remove the mounting screws securing the old KEP-1 keypad to the exterior surface. Gently pull the keypad away from the wall.
- Access Main Interface Box: Locate the main interface box, typically mounted inside the garage. Open this box to access the circuit board and the connection point for the keypad's ribbon cable.
- Note Ribbon Cable Orientation: Before disconnecting, observe the orientation of the existing ribbon cable where it connects to the circuit board. Pay close attention to any notches or markings on the cable and the connector. This is crucial for correct installation of the new keypad.
- Scollegare il vecchio cavo: Carefully disconnect the old ribbon cable from the circuit board. The cable is typically a push-fit connection and does not require soldering.
- Feed New Cable: If the cable passes through a wall or door frame, you may find it helpful to attach a long string to the end of the old cable before pulling it out. Then, attach the new cable to the string and use it to guide the new cable through the opening.
- Connect New Keypad: Connect the new 20235R keypad's ribbon cable to the circuit board in the main interface box. Ensure the cable is inserted with the correct orientation, matching what was observed in Step 3. The notch in the flat ribbon cable must face the Set/Run switch for proper function.
- Mount New Keypad: Position the new keypad in the original location and secure it using the existing mounting screws. Ensure the ribbon cable is not pinched or damaged during this process.
- Ripristina alimentazione: Once the keypad is securely mounted and the cable is connected, restore power to the garage door opener system.
