Installing the Wi-Fi DeviceLink Card
• Disconnect the panel’s AC power and
backup battery.
• Install the Wi-Fi DeviceLink card in Slot 2
by carefully aligning the nylon retention
posts and the 8-pin connector while
pushing the card rmly until all posts are
fully seated.
• Reconnect the panel’s AC power and
backup battery.
• Verify the Wi-Fi card LEDs are on.

2. Choose a mounting location within reach of the 10-foot power cable. (See page 8
for instructions on extending the wire).
3. Verify signal strength at the desired location before mounting it permanently.
Verifying Signal Strength
1. Make sure the panel is powered and the Wi-Fi DeviceLink card is installed.
2. Power up the Touchpad using the included adapter.
3. Verify the Touchpad displays "Select a Network." If it doesn’t, press "Setup"
then "FACTORY DEFAULT."
4. If the signal strength displayed is less than 35, relocate Touchpad or Connect+
panel. If neither options are available, install an RE621 Touchpad Range
Extender.
The RE657 Touchpad is an intuitive interface for
controlling the Connect+ security system. It is AC
powered and communicates with the panel wirelessly.

4. Enroll the Touchpad by pressing the enroll button on the side of the panel until
it beeps once and then selecting the desired panel on the Touchpad. Note, the
Touchpad will list all panels within range, not just the ones in enrollment mode. The
network "names" will include the last 4 digits of the MAC Address printed on the
panel label.
After selecting the desired panel, the Touchpad will progress through stages of
discovery and authentication. Upon success it will show the DISARMED screen. If
the wrong panel was selected then press the "Restart"button in the side menu.
Troubleshooting Steps if Enrollment Fails:
• Conrm the panel is in wireless enrollment mode. A red light will ash on the
panel if in wireless enrollment mode.
• Check whether the panel is already full. The limit is four Touchpads. To
conrm number of Touchpads connected, log into your account.
• Tap the "Restart" button to try again.
5. Finish mounting in the desired location. For tabletop mounting, slide the feet into
the tracks on the back of the Touchpad. The t is intended to be quite snug, so
some force may be required for the feet to "click" into place.
6. Test the Touchpad by arming and disarming the panel from the Touchpad.

Wall Mounting Option 1 (No Disassembly Required)
1. Place the below template on the wall and drill holes through the two black dots.
2. Put the screws in the wall but leave a gap (roughly 1/8”) for the Touchpad plastic.
3. Position the Touchpad over the top screw head and then tilt the Touchpad to allow
the lower screw head to slip through the lower keyhole.
4. Rotate the Touchpad into place until level. Ensure the screws are tight enough for
a snug t.

Wall Mounting Option 2 (Disassembly Required)
1. Open the enclosure by lifting at the two points shown below and rotating upwards
towards the top of the screen. The enclosure is hinged at the top and latched at
the bottom.
2. Remove the tablet by pushing up on the latch at the top of the tablet and tipping
the tablet outward. Unplug the power connector and set it aside.
3. Mount the enclosure to the wall using the screw holes in the enclosure.
4. Pull the power cable into the enclosure through the rectangular hole at the
bottom of the enclosure. It can also be hidden completely by drilling a third hole in
the wall (through one of the large round holes in the enclosure) and shing the wire
behind the drywall to a location with an AC power outlet.
5. Reconnect the power cable to the tablet and route the cable through the strain
relief channels (see above).
6. Reinstall the tablet and enclosure cover.

Pro Tips
To remove the Touchpad feet, open the enclosure and remove the tablet. Then
locate and depress the locking tab while sliding the foot off the enclosure.
Always ensure the power cable is properly routed through the strain relief
channels when reassembling the Touchpad.
The Touchpad display turns off on its own after specied allotted time of inactivity
(Auto sleep display setting). It will turn back on when the screen is touched, or for
some alarm conditions. The screen can also be turned off manually by pressing
"Sleep."
The power supply MUST be secured to an outlet if installed in the USA.
The power supply MUST NOT be secured to an outlet if installed in Canada.
The Touchpad volume can be changed in the Settings screen. The physical volume
rocker switch on the top left side of the Touchpad is not enabled.
The Touchpad can be rebooted by holding the power button on the top left side of
the Touchpad for several seconds; however, this should never be required.
To unenroll the Touchpad navigate to the Settings menu and then to the section
labeled "Panel." Put the panel into wireless enrollment mode and press the
unenrollment button. Note: The unenrollment button is displayed only when in
enrollment mode.
The Touchpad’s power cable can be extended by splicing in a longer wire. To do
this rst unplug the adapter from the wall. Next cut the power wire 16 inches
from the USB connector and 6 inches from the transformer. Discard this section of
wire and replace it with the desired wire length per the table below.
