Pedestal Installation
An optional key/card reader pedestal is available from CSI. The pedestal provides weath-
erproofing, easy access, and simplifies key/card reader installation.
Note:
The pedestal installation is not a U.L. listed configuration.
At new concrete installations, or if a separate mounting surface is poured for the
pedestal, set four
1
⁄
4
" (0.64 cm) bolts at pouring according to the dimensions shown in
If installation is made on an existing concrete structure, use the mounting plate to locate
the holes, and then drill the four holes with a concrete bit. Secure the pedestal to the
surface with four concrete mounting bolts.
Electrical Installation
The following paragraphs provide instructions for the electrical installation of the
key/card reader.
Key/Card Reader Grounding
To eliminate the harmful effects of static discharge when a user touches the key/card
reader, and to ensure uninterrupted operation, the key/card reader must be connected to
a good earth ground. If the key/card reader is installed on a metal surface (i.e., door
jamb), the surface may serve as a sufficient grounding medium. Make sure that the metal
surface itself is well grounded. If the key/card reader is not installed on a properly
grounded metal surface, provide a ground as follows.
Caution:
Failure to properly ground the key/card reader could result in damage to the reader and/or
other equipment connected to the reader.
To be most effective, the ground wire should be as short as possible (no more than 20 feet
long).
1.
Connect a piece of 10 AWG (5.27 mm
2
) or larger solid wire between the key/card
reader grounding screw and the nearest metal object such as a cold water pipe,
metal frame, or grounded electrical outlet box as shown in
. Use a crimp-
