Transition™ multi-technology card readers feature
simultaneous compatibility with multi-vendor 125 kHz

Mounting the Reader
All models of the multi-technology series readers can be
mounted using a U.S. single-gang electrical box or
directly to a wall.
1. Find a suitable mounting position on the door frame
or wall.
Note: For out of doors or wet locations, it is recommended that the gasket provided be installed on the
base as shown in Figure 5.
2. If mounting directly to the wall, use one of the
following methods:
2a. Drill two vertical mounting holes from 3.25”
(83
cm) to 4.891” (125 cm) apart on the mounting
surface of the door frame or wall.
Figure 2. Direct wall mounting
2b. Models 520/525 can be mounted using a second
pair of vertical mounting holes, horizontally
spaced 2.75” (70 cm) from the first pair.

3. Drill one 0.625” (15.87 mm) diameter hole in wall for
the pigtail wire connection.
4. Follow the Cable Connection Chart to connect the
reader to the field panel and external door
equipment.
5. Mount the base plate to the wall using the supplied
screws.
6. Install gasket if required, see Figure 5.
7. Install the top cover to the reader base. The base
plate and top cover guides should be aligned, so the
connectors seat correctly.

8. Verify the connection is secure and install the
security screws on the top and bottom of the

18-gauge to 22-gauge. Check with the cable
supplier to determine the best choice for the
application and installation distance.
Connecting the Cable
1. The readers are supplied with a 12-conductor
cable pigtail with drain wire. Connect the pigtail
to the host panel. Use the Cable Connection
