Wall Mounting

Warning! Before selecting a mounting location for your MTX-30 Terminal, you must consider the following:

The mounting surface and hardware must be able to support the unit’s weight, 1.35 lbs. (0.61 kg).

The area must be within the specified operating temperature & humidity range (see Specifications on page 43 )).

The MTX-30 Fingerprint terminal should be mounted in an environment that avoids the conditions pictured in the
following figure:

Close proximity to a wall outlet (

6 ft), and a wall that can accommodate signal and/or power conduits.

If using Ethernet, close proximity to an Ethernet connection (

6 ft).
Amano recommends the following wall mounting procedure:
1. Loosen and remove the back plate retaining screw to remove the back plate as shown (see Figure 0-1 ). Set the MTX-
30 terminal face up on a flat surface to avoid scratches on display.

2. Using the back plate as a template, mark the location of the upper mounting holes on the wall. Mark a vertical line on
the wall as a guide to align the lower mounting holes.
Note:
Pay attention to the orientation. The back plate should only be mounted one-way as it is keyed to fit into the
back of the fingerprint reader.
3. Install a screw or anchor at the mark and hang the back plate from the top-mounting holes. Level the back plate by
centering the vertical line in the bottom holes.
