INTRODUCTION
The Niles IntelliPad® Ci Keypad Modules are wall-mounted keypad controls designed for use
with Niles MultiZone Systems. There are two types of keypad modules, Master Keypad
Modules and Accessory Keypad Modules.
This Instruction Guide only covers the physical installation of the Master Keypad Modules and
the Accessory Keypad Modules. All programming, connection and operation information is
detailed in the Niles MultiZone Control System Installation and Operation Guide.
Important Note: Not all IntelliPad Ci Keypad Modules work with all Niles MultiZone Systems;
refer to the MultiZone Control Systems Installation and Operation Guide for specific keypad
compatibility.

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Where to Mount an IntelliPad Ci Keypad
Convenient mounting locations for the IntelliPad Ci Keypads include:
• Near entryways or exits
• Near a desk
• At your bedside
• Close to a telephone
• Near other wall controls
CAUTION: Do not install the IntelliPad Ci into electrical boxes with 110 volt devices.
Some states or municipalities allow devices such as the IntelliPad Ci Keypads to be installed into
the same electrical box as 110 volts devices, provided a “low-voltage partition” is used between
the devices. We do not recommend this. Speaker wires can act as an “antenna” for electrical
noise. Locating speaker wires too close to a light switch or dimmer may cause a “popping” or
“buzzing” sound to be heard through the speakers. If you must locate the IntelliPad Ci
Keypads near electrical devices, install it in a separate metal electrical box, ground the box to
the electrical system ground, and route the speaker wires several feet away from the electrical
wiring.

INSTALLATION
Overview
Follow these steps to install the Keypad Modules.
2. Run and terminate the cable from the Niles MultiZone Control System to the Keypad
location (refer to the Niles MultiZone Control System Installation and Operation Guide
for more information).
4. Install the Master Key Labels (refer to Installing the Master Key Labels in this manual
for more information).
5. Make all cable connections to all Keypads and IR Sensors (refer to the Niles MultiZone
System Installation and Operation Guide for more information).
6. Secure the Keypad Modules to their J-box or P-ring (refer to Connecting the Keypad
Modules for more information).
7. Secure the Decora faceplate to the Keypad Modules (refer to Installing the Decora
Cover Plate for more information).

1. Holding the Master Keypad Module as shown in Figure 6, remove the white Decora
style insert on the face of the keypad by pressing the top friction fit pegs from behind.
The insert pops free very easily with slight pressure. Pull the Decora-style insert away
from the keypad.
2. Before installing labels, determine which color (white, bone or almond) Decora style
insert is appropriate for your installation and set the labels aside in a convenient place.
3. Detach all the labels you will be using, and keep them on hand.
4. Remove all plastic key caps from the elastomer as shown in Figure 7. Place them next
to the labels.
5. If you are installing an Intellipad Ci Silencer along with a Master Keypad Module,
replace the original elastomer from the Master Keypad Module with the appropriate
elastomer for the Keypad Module you are installing as shown in Figure 8. Make sure
the elastomer is securely in place before proceeding. (Refer to the Intellipad Ci Silencer
Installation Guide for more information.)
6. Pick up one plastic key cap at a time, and drop its corresponding label inside. See
Figure 9.
7. Hold the Master Keypad Module and firmly press each plastic key cap onto its corre-
sponding Master Key, as shown in Figure 10.
8. Once all of the labeled caps are in place, take a look at your Master Keys. If they are in
the correct order, right side up and otherwise satisfactory, you may proceed. However,
if you need to correct one or more of the labels, remove the cap(s), adjust the label(s)
(as described in Step 4 and 6) and repeat step 7.

9. To re-install the appropriate Decora style insert, hold the Keypad Module chassis so that
it is facing you as shown in Figure 11. Fit the insert around the keys of the Keypad
Module. Align the pegs on the bottom of the insert with the corresponding holes on
the steel bracket of the Keypad Module. Fix the insert into place by carefully pressing
on the front of the insert. The pegs friction-fit into the holes and hold the insert in place.
NOTE: Following all of these steps is only required for the Solo and Select Master Keypad
Modules. Numeric and Transport Accessory Keypad Modules only require that you determine
which color (white, bone or almond) Decora style insert is appropriate for your installation.
Follow Step 1 and Step 9 if you need to change the insert on an Accessory Keypad Module.

NOTE: The oblong shape of the screw holes allows you to position the Keypad Module
so that it is vertical.
2. Position the Keypad Modules so that the screws are aligned with the threaded holes in
the J-box or P-ring.
NOTE: Certain ”old work” or “retro-fit” boxes, such as the Carlon B225R, have a plas-
tic “lip” which interferes with the Decora plate screws. This lip prevents you from being
able to tighten these screws completely. To make the clearance necessary for these
screws, you must remove the parts of the lip causing the interference. There are two
ways to accomplish this:
