3. Installation
3.1 Installation Kit
The installation kit consists of the following items to be used during
the installation procedure:
1 backplate
1 self-adhesive mounting label template
1 metal clip
2 pan head mounting screws and screw anchors
1 Torx key tool and one Torx security screw
3.2 Mounting
Before mounting, you should determine the best location for the
reader.
1. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive mounting label template and
place it at the required mounting location.
2. Using the template as a guide, drill two holes (hole size and
position is indicated on the mounting template) for mounting the
reader onto the surface.
3. Insert a screw anchor into each hole.
4. Drill a 10-mm (7/16”) hole for the cable. If mounting on metal,
place a grommet or electrical tape around the edge of the hole.
5. Wire the reader to the host as described in Section 3.3. A linear
type power supply is recommended.
6. Remove the security screw from the bottom of the unit.
7. Remove the reader's snap-off front cover.
8. Align the two holes of the backplate and of the reader with those
drilled in the wall and firmly attach the reader to the wall with two
screws (Figure 2).

9. Relocate the front cover onto the reader.
10. Return the security screw to the bottom of the unit.
11. Insert the metal clip into the slot at the base of the backplate
(Figure 3).
