Section 2 - Installation
The location of the tracker board(s) is dependent on the application that it is being used. Tracker
boards can be installed in selected card reader and digital keypad housings, or they can be installed
in their own enclosure (enclosures are optional and not included with the Tracker board). DoorKing
has two enclosures available for this purpose. The small housing will hold a single tracker board and
the large housing can hold up to four tracker boards. In addition, the large housing has convenience
outlets to power up to four accessory transformers.
The enclosure should be mounted in a location as close to the access system as possible. The
maximum distance for tracker board wire runs is 500 feet.
Selected models of proximity card readers are available with an enclosure that has ample room for a
tracker board to be mounted inside the housing. This simplifies the installation of the card readers
used with the tracker board. A typical application for this would be a controlled access apartment
complex or gated community that requires card access for the pedestrian gate, pool gate, laundry
room, exercise room, etc. Each of these locations can be card controlled by the access control
system using tracker expansion boards to control each entry point. Each tracker board in this
example is a part of the card reader itself and requires no other external enclosure.
WARNING! If a card reader/tracker board combination is used to control a
vehicular gate with an automatic gate operator, the card reader must be
mounted a minimum of ten (10) feet away from the gate and gate operator, or
in such a way that a person cannot operate the card reader and touch the
gate or gate operator at the same time.
