Installation
Recommended Wiring
You must use shield wiring with the AC12, particularly for the card reader:
● Connect the drain wire (bare metal) from the reader cable bundle to the drain wire in the
shielded cabling. Then, connect the drain wire at the other end of the shielded cabling to AC12
drain wire screw.
● Improper grounding and shielding may result in unintended product behavior.
You must use a Cat 5e or better shielded cable for PoE In and Out ports.
You must use a UL294 certified injector that is compliant with IEEE 802.3 PoE standards to power AC12.
You must use twisted pair for power (+/-) and twisted pair for the data (D0/D1 or A/B).
Wiring methods shall be in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, local codes, and
the authorities having jurisdiction..
