RK600e Unit - Locate in nearby building, guard house or water-tight (NEMA)
enclosure up to 30 cable feet from Auxiliary Reader. For metallic NEMA
enclosures, install the optional Spacer between the enclosure wall and
RK600e to reduce the effect on reading distance caused by metal. Locate
the RK600e in the center of the NEMA enclosure. Non-metallic NEMA
boxes will have no effect on reading distance.
Concealed Installation
The optional Auxiliary Reader can be mounted behind any non-metallic wall
surface, (glass, wood paneling, plastic, drywall). The reading distance may
be affected slightly by metal framework or structural material in the wall.
WIRING
Run the following cables to the RK600e Unit location. Conduit is recommended
to reduce the effects of EMI/RFI and for physical protection of the wires.
RK600e Wire Connections
The RK600e Unit is supplied with a pre-wired connector (P1) with color-
coded wire leads. Referring to Table 2, Connector P1 Color Coding and
Figure 2, Wiring Diagram, make all appropriate connections from Connector
P1 to the power supply, locking device or gate controller, external alarm
circuit and Request-to-Exit (REX) input. Use solder and tape or gel-filled
crimp-on connectors.
