4 Installation

4.1 Selecting the installation site

When the connections are plugged in, the device satisfies the protection class IP65� When selecting

the installation location, make sure there is sufficient space around it for appropriate dissipation of the

heat generated by the device� Do not install it close to external sources of heat� The maximum operating

temperature listed in the data sheet must not be exceeded� The support surface must have a sufficient

lead-bearing capacity/strength�

4.2 Installing the reader

The device has threaded holes at the rear for attaching the reader� The dimensions of the holes pattern

can be found in the drawing below� For ease of installation a bracket is available as an accessory, which

offers the option of mounting on a mast or wall�
