1.16 Mounting the prox.pad Unit
Select one of these three installation configurations, wall mount, glass mount, or secure as appropriate for this installation. Then refer
to the following sections.
1.16.1 Performing a Wall Mounted Installation
This section provides general considerations when performing a wall mounted installation. Typically, the prox.pad unit is mounted on
a flat, level surface (drywall, masonry, wood, etc.) exterior to the room to be accessed. A single-gang electrical box (or back box) can
be used. Typically, the prox.pad unit is wall mounted outside the access area on the unsecured side of the door.
Figure 3 below illustrates the components on the prox.pad unit used for wall mounting. Two single-gang box holes align with two
corresponding holes in the single-gang box. A wire exit knockout is supplied through which the prox.pad wiring is pulled. A typical
wall mounted installation proceeds as follows:
1. Install a single-gang box in the desired location.
2. Punch out the two single-gang box knockouts on the controller backplate of the prox.pad unit.
3. Disconnect the controller backplate of the prox.pad unit from the front keypad/controller. Align the two single-gang box
holes on the controller backplate over the two corresponding holes on the single-gang box, previously secured at step 1.
4. Secure the backplate to the single-gang box by inserting/tightening two screws into the two single-gang box holes.
5. Connect the front keypad/controller to the back housing.
6. Pull the prox.pad wiring through the wiring exit as appropriate.
7. Install the tamper screw into the hole at the bottom front of the enclosure using a #6 spanner bit (not included, but available
from IEI).
