Siting the External Prox Reader
Do site the External Prox Reader:
At a convenient height and location for the user.
Out of sight of potential intruders.
Note that the external prox reader is fitted with a
length of 2m of the appropriate cable. The cable
can be extended up to 50m by connecting an
additional length of 7/0.2 un-screened alarm
cable.
Do NOT site the External Prox Reader:
Next to electronic equipment, particularly
computers, photocopiers or other radio
equipment, CAT 5 data lines or industrial mains
equipment.
Note: Do not site the external prox reader closer
than one meter to any other kind of prox reader
(for example an i-kp01, KEY-KPZ01/kp01 or
another external prox reader). If you do so then
the prox readers will interfere and be unable to
read tags.

1. Undo the single retaining screw.
2.Tilt the edge of the fixing plate and then slide it a
