FCC Compliance: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Canadian Compliance: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.

UL: The reader is intended to be powered from a limited power source output of a previously certified power
supply.

CE Compliance: Hereby, Indala, declares that this proximity reader is in compliance with essential
requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

Notice: The
other types of power supply can result in reduced read range. The use of switching power supplies is
not recommended.

Do not use the reader's power supply for other equipment, particularly when operating switched inductive
loads such as motor control relays and solenoids (i.e., magnetic locks, latch or strike). Doing so will affect the
reader operation. Use a separate dedicated power supply for Indala proximity readers.

Because this technology is based on radio frequency and because nearby environmental sources of electrical
interference may affect the performance of the reader, below is a list of precautions that should be considered
when installing or wiring the reader:

• Metal affects radio signals. Do not cover the face of the reader with metal of any kind.

• Reduce or eliminate unwanted signals from external sources.

• Do not place the reader wiring bundled in conduit with AC power cables, lock power, or signal

• Maintain all reader wiring a minimum distance of 12" (30 cm) away from other wiring such as

• Avoid installing the reader in areas where sources of broad spectrum EMI noise may be present.

CX-8525 reader requires the use of linear, series pass, regulated power supplies. Use of

wiring. Where possible.

AC power, computer data wiring, telephone wiring, or wiring to electric locking devices, etc.

Examples of EMI broad spectrum noise producers are motors, pumps, generators, AC-DC
converters, uninterruptible power supplies, AC switching relays, light dimmers, computer
monitors, and CRTs

• Do not install the reader within 3.5' (1.1 m) of computer
