CE Compliance
For CE installations, you must have a readily accessible disconnect device 
incorporated in the fixed power wiring to iSTAR eX.
Important Safety Information
Operating problems are often caused by failure to ground system components 
properly. Be sure to follow all instructions for grounding described in this 
manual. 
The following precautions apply to all procedures described in this manual. 
1. To meet life safety requirements, a fail-safe mechanism override must be 
installed at each card reader exit to allow people to leave the secure area 
in case of electromechanical device failure.
2. The iSTAR eX device described in this manual could cause electrical 
shock. Installation and maintenance should be performed only by 
qualified personnel. Make sure power is removed before the system is 
installed.
3. The iSTAR eX and printed circuit boards in the reader devices are 
susceptible to damage by static electricity. When handling these devices:
• Make sure your work area is safeguarded
• Transport all components in static-shielded containers
Changes to iSTAR eX not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
