Before proceeding, ensure the Vedo control unit is powered off.

1. Open the keypad casing by gently prying the front cover from the base using a small screwdriver at the designated points.
2. Route the communication cable from the Vedo control unit to the keypad's mounting location.
3. Connect the wires to the terminal block on the keypad's PCB. The terminal block typically has connections for power and data. Pay close attention to polarity.
• +12V: Connect to the +12V output of the control unit.
• GND: Connect to the common ground of the control unit.
• DATA A: Connect to the DATA A terminal of the control unit.
• DATA B: Connect to the DATA B terminal of the control unit.
4. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent accidental disconnection.

Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your Vedo control unit for specific terminal assignments and cable requirements. Incorrect wiring can damage the keypad or control unit.
