The Savant® Keypad Link (SKL-1000) Quick Reference Guide provides the information necessary to install the SKL-1000. Each SKL-1000 connects up to 12 Savant keypads to any Savant controller with available RS-232 port. If keypads are double ganged, they are considered 2 keypads.

ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT: The 100-240V AC 47/63 Hz 0.93 Amps source power outlet and input power sockets should be easily accessible in the event of an electrical hazard or malfunction condition.

Wiring the Savant Keypads to the Savant Keypad Link To connect the keypads to the SKL-1000, the wires from the 3-pin connectors must be spliced with the 3-wire cable running to the keypad backboxes. The next figure shows the use of 16-gauge (AWG) wire, but in shorter installations (up to 330 feet) 18-gauge wire can be used. Crimp connectors or wire nuts can be used to terminate the stranded wire. Crimp connectors are preferred.

Note: Voltage readings at the end closest to the 3-pin connector should typically read no more than 1 or 2 volts less than at the Savant Keypad Link end. Keypad backboxes should have a minimum inside dimension of 3 in. high x 1⅞ in. wide x 1½ in deep. Use a square-cornered backbox to best accommodate these dimensions. Do not use plastic rings with rounded corners—keypads, especially multiple-gang keypads, will not fit. Single-gang, metal cut-in boxes, plaster, or tile rings are not acceptable. In new construction installations, for example, a single gang backbox, model P-241 (supplied by Allied Moulded Products) would accommodate a Savant keypad. An example of a double gang backbox is model P-442 (supplied by Allied Moulded Products). Whether installing backboxes in new construction or “old work” installations, the installer should test fit the keypad to the backbox before installing the backbox in a wall. Note: Keypads may be wired to a homerun device, not to exceed 1000 feet with 16 AWG or 330 feet with 18 AWG. SKL-1000 Mounting Bracket Installation Use the supplied screws to install the Side Mounting Brackets (071-0494-xx) to the SKL-1000 as shown.

Design Considerations Twelve keypads can be be daisy-chained with 16 gauge wire over a length of 1000 feet and terminated on a Savant Keypad Link which connects to a Savant controller (via RS-232 port) that communicates with various audio/video devices. If more than 1000 feet is used to connect 12 or fewer keypads, then another SKL-1000 must be used in the installation. Note that one SKL-1000 allows the use of a maximum 1000 feet of 16 gauge wire to connect it to the keypads.
