Re: Keypad height

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

only if you have little people for clients...thats waaaayyyy too low.
especially if you have to program from the keypad...you'd be on your knees
for an hour with a Napco.

| Most LCD keypads are designed to be
| easiest to read while looking down from
| above the unit.  I always preferred to install
| them a few inches above the light switch
| next to the door from the garage, the front
| door (when appropriate) and the master
| bedroom door.
|
| Side note: As long as the keypad cable
| doesn't run close and parallel to the electric
| wiring for more than a few feet it's not a
| problem.  On prewires I would pull the
| cable up from the basement or down from
| the attic in the next stud bay over from
| where the lighting cables run.  I'd drill
| through the stud at keypad height and
| bring the wire over, leaving about 18" of
| slack for a "service loop" in the wall in
| case I needed to move the keypad in the
| future.
