SSW-FX Keypad Installation & Programming
SSW-FX Keypad Installation Procedure:
Step 1: If you are mounting the keypad directly to a wall, drill a 3/4” hole into the mounting surface to allow the wire
harness connector and wires to fit through.
Step 2: On the keypad end, strip back the insulator from the wire and tape the drain wire (shield) to the jacket. Now
connect the four (see below) wires to the 6-conductor wire harness provided. The wire harness plugs into the
6-position connector on the keypad. At the other end of your wire run, strip back the insulator from the wire but
do not tape the drain wire to the jacket. The drain wire must be connected to ground at the controller end. When
using Secured Series product (such as a Max 3 or MiniMax 3), connect the drain wire to a fast-tab connector on
the backplane. Refer to the Secured Series Max 3 or MiniMax 3 manual for details.
Step 3: Finally mount the SSW-FX keypad onto the mounting surface using the provided #6 screws. Do no over-tighten
the screws, which may result in damage.
Keypad Mounting Height
Mounting height can vary depending on requirements. An appropriate range is typically between 48 and 52 inches on
center off the floor.

Door Control Module. Connect the red, black, white/black and white/yellow wires to matching terminal on the Door Control
Module (the terminals are labeled with the wire color). Refer to the wire lengths below. As mentioned in Step 2 on page 2,
the drain wire must be attached to a fast-tab on the Max 3 or MiniMax 3 backplane.
Wiring the SSW-FX to the a Third Party Wiegand Access Control Panel
The connection between the SSW-FX keypad and a WiegandAccess Control Panel requires a 6-conductor, stranded wire
with overall foil shield. Connect the red wire to V+, the black wire to V-, white/black wire to Data 0, white/yellow wire to
Data 1 and the blue wire to the LED control connection. The drain wire must be connected to ground at the controller end.
