3. Power the Keypad
Caution: Disconnect all power before wiring. Failure to do so may result in equipment damage or injury. Observe polarity when making power connections.
When using Wi-Fi, the network connection is used for communication, while the keypad is powered separately using the panel or a 12 VDC power source, such as the DMP PS12-5 power supply.
Select whether you are wiring using the included 4-wire power harness or a 2-wire power harness (see 300-8860-PWR in Ordering Information), then complete the steps.
-
Run 18 or 22‑gauge unshielded wire from the power source to the keypad mounting location. See Reference: Keypad Bus Wiring Specifications for maximum wire runs.
-
Refer to the following table as you connect the wires to the power source:
-
Connect the red wire to panel terminal 7 or the power supply’s positive (+) terminal.
-
Connect the black wire to panel terminal 10 or the power supply’s negative (-) terminal.
-
Do not connect the green and yellow wires. Cap or otherwise secure the wires to prevent contact with other conductors.
-
-
Plug the power source into an unswitched outlet.
-
Route the keypad wires through the cutouts in the base. Connect the harness to the PANEL header when accessible during the mounting process. If the harness must be disconnected for mounting, reconnect it after the keypad is secured.

4. Mount the Keypad
Mount the 8863 using the included mounting plate or an optional desk stand. The keypad is compatible with the standard mounting plate, desk stand, and the 8863-BACKUP mounting plate or desk stand configuration when a backup battery is installed. To learn more about customization of the 7-Inch Touchscreen Keypad and related items available for order, see Ordering Information.
Note: Regardless of method, ensure you remove the protective plastic film from the screen after installation to help ensure proper keypad operation.
Optional Backup Battery
The 8863 can be equipped with an optional standby backup battery using the 8863-BACKUP kit. The kit includes a standby battery and a battery case with a breakaway wall tamper. The battery case is designed for wall-mounted or desk stand installations.
To use a standby backup battery, first enable Keypad Battery Connected under Installer Options > Keypad Options. To display the keypad power status while operating on the backup battery, also enable Display Power Status. Then proceed with the instructions for your chosen mounting method.
Full Mounting Instructions
Determine how the keypad is going to be mounted, then complete the steps for your mounting style:
Wall Mounting
Wall Mounting
To mount a keypad using the mounting plate, refer to the figures and complete the following steps:
-
Place the keypad mounting plate against the wall at standing height to mark the holes for the mounting screws and tamper screw (if necessary). The breakaway wall tamper should be located at the top of the mounting plate, and the keypad latches should be facing up.
-
Set the base aside and drill the holes.
-
Use the screws included in the hardware pack to secure the keypad mounting plate to the wall.
-
Insert the tamper puck into the breakaway wall tamper.
-
Plug the 2- or 4-wire harness into the keypad PANEL header to connect it to the power source.
-
Ensure that the latch holes in the back of the keypad line up with the mounting plate keypad latches and that the on-board camera is on the left, then gently press the keypad to the mounting plate. Slide the keypad to the right until you hear the release tab on the side click to secure it onto the mounting plate.
Removal
To remove the keypad from the mounting plate, locate the release tab on the right side of the keypad back and press down. This allows you to slide the keypad to the left and lift it away from the mounting plate.
Warning: Ensure that you slide the keypad to the side before pulling it away from the mounting plate. Failure to do so can result in damage to the keypad or mounting plate.
Desk Stand Mounting
Desk Stand Mounting
To mount a keypad using the desk stand, refer to the figures and complete the following steps:
-
Plug the 2- or 4-wire harness into the keypad PANEL header to connect it to the power source.
-
Locate the latch holes on the back of the keypad.
-
The desk stand legs are labeled L and R based on the keypad's front view and are not interchangeable due to latch spacing. Insert the desk stand leg marked with an L into the holes on the right side of the keypad, then slide it to the side to lock it in place. Repeat with the desk stand leg marked with an R on the left side of the keypad. The clear, non-slip rubber pads should be pointing down.
