PLANNING
2.1.1
POSITIONING
Planning the position of the Traka systems is a very important part of the installation process and is time well spent as
poor planning will result in problems later down the line.
The positioning of the Traka System is usually determined by who is going to use the system the most. From
experience, things to take into account are:-
24 hour access
Traka systems should be positioned conveniently for the required users.
Busy periods
Places such as corridors or offices that have a high volume of traffic should be avoided.
Height of the system
Please take into consideration any disabled people that may have to use the Traka system.
Administration and serviceability
Ideally you should locate a PC Workstation that will be running a copy of Traka32 as close as possible to the
Traka System as this will make system administration much easier.
Security
Traka is not designed as a high security safe, it is designed to control and monitor the issue of keys. The
security of the location should be provided by the customer, so please don’t position the Traka systems in an
exposed or vulnerable location.
Indoor use only
Traka systems are designed to be used in ambient, dry conditions, not in an exposed location.
Type of wall
Traka systems can be quite heavy, typically weighing 40kg+ and therefore need a strong wall to fix to.
Fixings are not included and so when selecting the appropriate fixings it’s essential they are strong enough to
retain the Traka System and to ensure that they do not pull out from the wall.
NOTE:
The wall (and any wall covering) to which the Traka System is fixed must be made of low
flammability material (at least 94 UL-5V flammability class equivalent). Please ensure that any
flammable materials, for example wall paper, are completely removed before fixing the cabinet to
the wall.
Biometrics Reader
If the system is fitted with a biometrics reader, position the system so that users can stand in a comfortable
and natural position when using the reader. Do NOT position in direct sunlight as this can affect the
performance of the reader when scanning a fingerprint.
