Cabling

Use 4 core, 0.2 mm2 (AWG 24) cabling with a maximum, nominal capacitance of
120 pf/m.

Maximum distance between the URI and the Prox 125 reader with this type of cable is
200m (650ft).

Note: You need a special cable terminating tool to connect the building cabling to

Mounting Hole

Facia Screw Hole

Drill the holes for the mounting screws.

Note: The recommended mounting height for the Prox 125 reader is 1100 mm from

floor level to the centre of the reader unit. However this may vary in some
countries and you should check local regulations for variations to this height.

The type of flush box you are using, if any, will determine which mounting holes you use.
Run the building cabling through the cabling hole.
Fit the base to the mounting holes and secure it to the mounting surface using two fixing

screws.

Note: It is very important that the base of the reader is flush with and tight against

the mounting surface. If you are mounting the Prox 125 reader on a rough
surface you should make the surface as smooth as possible under the reader
and up to 25 mm (1 in) around the reader.
