specifications. To diminish this
Prior to starting, select the location where the controller unit is
to be mounted.
1. Peel off the back of the self-adhesive mounting label
template and place it on the required mounting location.
2. At the bottom of the unit’s case, remove the screw.
3. Carefully remove the snap-off front cover of the unit to
reveal the screw holes.
4. Depending on the type of installation, gang box or panel
mount, drill the respective holes in the rear cover (Figure 1).

5. Drill an additional 10-mm (
/16”) hole for the cable. When
installing the reader on a metallic surface, cover the inside of
the hole with a grommet or electrical tape.
6. Insert the unit’s cable wire into the cable hole and wire the
unit as described in Section 3.2.
7. Screw the back plate into the surface. Ensure the screws are
the size specified on the installation template.
