The keypad controller is a tiny PCB with a 4 pin connector.
It is designed to physically fit inside the case of a Honeywell Galaxy alarm panel keybad. There is space in the case at the bottom.
You need to solder wires to the back of the PCB for GND
, DC
, A
, and B
. These connect in the same order to the 4 pin header.
The keypad then needs normal power on its screw terminals, but does not have anything connected to its A
/B
contacts as the keypad controller talks to it directly.
The board also has a simple RGB LED which can be used to indicate status.
Note: Whilst most modules have moved to using Pheonix Contact connectors, they are too big for the space in the keyboard, so this is supplied with a mini SPOX connector, plug and flying leads to solder to the keyboard PCB.
