Mounting

intended to be mounted on a wall with adequate air flow around and through it.
Mounting Instructions
Cables are intended to be run inside the wall. If cables are to be run through external conduits you must use the
surface mount box accessory (see page 18).
1.
Select where to mount the card reader, ensuring it is mounted a minimum of 1.1m (3.5ft) away from other
wiring, such as ACM power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring and wiring to electric locking devices.
2.
Use the drill template sticker provided with the card reader as a guide to correctly position the unit and drill
the necessary holes as instructed.
The drill template is also available from the ICT website.
3.
The reader's cable connection socket should align with the '
connector
' hole cut through the wall. Cables are
intended to be run inside the wall.
4.
If using cavity anchors, affix the anchors (not supplied) into the wall.
5.
Run the module network wiring and connect to the reader wiring loom provided. Refer to the
Connections
section (see page 20) for the electrical connections.
6.
Connect the wiring loom Hirose socket plug to the connection socket on the back of the reader.
7.
Use appropriate screws (not supplied) to securely fasten the reader body to the wall or cavity anchors.
It is strongly recommended to fasten screws by hand to avoid potential damage to the reader.
8.
To complete the installation, position the cover over the reader body, ensuring the top clip snaps into place.
9.
Using the M3(G4)x4 Plastite self-tapping screw provided, secure the cover via the hole at the bottom.
Important Notes
It is not advisable to use countersunk screws as they may embed into the body and damage the reader.
Screws must be firmly fastened to ensure the reader is mounted flush and securely against the wall.
It is strongly recommended to tighten screws by hand, as excess force from an electric driver may embed the
screw head into the reader or crack the reader body if the mounting holes are not properly aligned.
Screw heads must not protrude above the mounting hole cavity, otherwise the reader cover will not fit correctly
over the reader body. Cheese head (Fillister head) screws are recommended.
