What I'm doing with my LK204-25-PC is wiring five switches directly to the 10pin keypad header as follows:

SW1 crosses pins 1 and 6
SW2 crosses pins 2 and 7
SW3 crosses pins 3 and 8
SW4 crosses pins 4 and 9
SW5 crosses pins 5 and 10

This is basically just using the diagonals - SW1 is row1/column1 SW2 is row2/column2 etc. I've tested this and the unit returns the letters: A, G, M, S and Y. Of course, this way you're only getting 5 out of 25 possible combos, but it's very easy to set up.
