Testing the Reader
3.1.
Mounting the Reader
1)
Determine an appropriate mounting position for
the Reader.
2)
Peel off the back of the self-stick mounting label
template included with the unit, and place at the
desired mounting position.
3)
Using the template as a guide, drill two holes (hole
size is indicated on the mounting template) for
mounting the Reader to the surface. Drill a 10 mm
(7/16") hole for the cable. If mounting on metal,
place a grommet around the edge of the hole.
4)
Remove the case screw, and slide the rear case
away from the front case (see Figure 1).
5)
Drill holes into the back of the rear metal case
according to how you want to mount the Reader
(see Figure 1).
6)
Attach the Reader to the Controller.
7)
Screw the Reader rear case to its mounting
location, and return the front case onto the
mounted rear case.
8)
Secure the front cover by using the supplied
security screw in the controller accessories kit. Use
the provided L-shaped tool to tighten the screw.
Note: Use card readers with a Listed access control unit
whose power supply is UL Listed Class 2 or equivalent.

Wiring the Reader to the Controller
The Prox Reader is supplied with an 18-inch pigtail, having
a 6-conductor cable.
1)
Prepare the Reader cable by cutting the cable
jacket back 11/4 inches, and strip the wires 1/2
inch.
2)
Prepare the Controller cable by cutting the cable
jacket back 11/4 inches, and strip the wires 1/2
inch.
3)
Splice the Reader pigtail wires to the
corresponding Controller wires and cover each
connection (see Figure 2).
4)
If the tamper output is being utilized, connect the
purple wire to the correct input on the Controller.
5)
Trim and cover all conductors that are not used.
