Mounting
Use this section to find out how to mount the ioSmart card reader in an appropriate location and
how to set up the tamper detection.
There are two levels of tamper detection: the first is if an intruder pulls the front cover from the
back panel, and the second is if an intruder pulls the entire panel from the wall.
Note:
To guarantee the correct setup, a trained installation technician must install the reader
and follow the instructions in this guide.
