prox.pad Plus IR Access System Installer Guide
Performing a Wall Mounted Installation
This section provides general considerations when performing a wall mounted installation. Typically, the prox.pad Plus IR unit is
mounted on a flat, level surface (drywall, masonry, wood, etc.) exterior to the room to be accessed. A single-gang electrical box (or
back box) can be used. Typically, the prox.pad Plus IR unit is wall mounted outside the access area on the unsecured side of the door.
Figure 4 below illustrates the components on the prox.pad Plus IR unit used for wall mounting. Two single-gang box holes align with
two corresponding holes in the single-gang box. A wire exit knockout is supplied through which the prox.pad Plus IR wiring is pulled.
A typical wall mounted installation proceeds as follows:
1. Install a single-gang box in the desired location.
2. Punch out the two single-gang box knockouts on the controller backplate of the prox.pad Plus IR unit.
3. Disconnect the controller backplate of the prox.pad Plus IR unit from the front keypad/controller. Align the two single-gang
box holes on the controller backplate over the two corresponding holes on the single-gang box, previously secured at step 1.
4. Secure the backplate to the single-gang box by inserting/tightening two screws into the two single-gang box holes.
5. Connect the front keypad/controller to the back housing.
6. Pull the prox.pad Plus IR wiring through the wiring exit as appropriate.
7. Install the tamper screw into the hole at the bottom front of the enclosure using a #6 spanner bit (not included, but available
from IEI).
