the template) used for mounting the reader onto the surface.
4.
Insert a suitable wall plug into each hole.
5.
Drill a 10-mm (

place a grommet or electrical tape around the edge of the hole.

Align the two holes of the reader with those drilled in the wall
and firmly attach the reader to the wall with two screws, whose

The reader can also be mounted using strong epoxy glue. After
application, the reader should be firmly held in place until the
glue dries.
