Planning an Installation
Site Preparation
Before you begin installation, check the site blueprints, riser diagrams, and
specifications for important information about hand reader location and other systems
that connect to the Hand Reader. Look for any existing wall preparations and wiring
that other contractors may have installed for the Hand Readers.
Hand Reader Placement
The recommended height for the Hand Reader platen is 40 inches (102 cm) from the
finished floor. The Hand Reader should be out of the path of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic, and convenient to, but not behind the door it is controlling. Avoid placing the
Hand Reader where users must cross the swing path of the door. The Hand Reader
should be in an area where it is not exposed to excessive airborne dust, direct sunlight,
water, or chemicals.
