Installation Procedure
2.1
Preparation
Determine an appropriate mounting position for the MaxiProx. Install an electrical box or drill the
appropriate mounting holes from inside the base with the cover removed for #6 fasteners. For optimum
performance, the reader should be mounted at least 4 inches away from any metallic surface 12-inch x
12-inch or larger. The Auto-tune feature automatically compensates for incidental metal such as
aluminum studs and conduit. The best method for installing the MaxiProx is by mounting the back of
the reader to the mounting surface. Accomplish side mounting with an adapter or spacer (customer
supplied) that mounts to the back of the reader.
CAUTION: The P2 shunt jumper is factory installed in the 24VDC position. Failure to install the
P2 shunt jumper in the correct position will permanently damage the MaxiProx unit. The
following states the P2 shunt jumper installation.
Power Supply Voltage
Jumper Position
+24 VDC (21-28.5VDC)
P2 across pin 2 and 3
+12 VDC (11.6-20.9VDC)
P2 across pin 1 and 2
2.2
Mounting and Installation
•
When fastening the MaxiProx to the mounting surface, do not use a metallic fastener larger than a
#6 screw.
•
Avoid mounting the MaxiProx closer than 1 meter (40-inches) to another MaxiProx.
2.3
Mounting Applications
•
Mount the MaxiProx to a gooseneck that is 1½-inch in diameter with a 4-inch diameter-mounting
flange without degradation of read range. Mount the flange to a non-metallic adapter that will ease
the installation of the MaxiProx to the flange. The read range will not be affected.
•
The MaxiProx may be mounted to a 12-inch x 12-inch or larger metal plate with a 4-inch spacer
used to separate the reader from the plate.
•
Acrylic, Plexiglas, Lexan (polycarbonate) or other suitable plastics may be found in ½-inch to 1-
inch stock. Mounting adapters may be fabricated from these materials that would be sturdy and not
affect the performance of the MaxiProx. Plastic J-boxes can also be used.
2.4
Cable Preparation
Prepare the cable by cutting the cable jacket back 2 inches and strip the wires 1/4-inch. Tinning the
wires is not required.
