Section 2: Installation
This section contains detailed procedures and wiring diagrams for installing the IEI MiniMax 3 Access Control System. This section is
presented in the order you should follow to install the unit. Not every section is necessary for every application.
The system must be installed within the protected area in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), local codes, and
the authority having jurisdiction. It should also be located in an area that is accessible for programming purposes. After the installation
is complete, the cabinet door should remain closed and locked to protect the contents.
Note:
Programming commands are inserted into the installation procedures for your convenience. Programming should only be done
after all electrical connections are made and the system is powered up.

Please check the contents of the enclosure and verify all components on the packing list are present. Taking this inventory will
familiarize you with the components as well as ensure you have a complete kit.
2.2 Mount the Enclosure
The enclosure is designed to be wall mounted (surface mounted) using the supplied hardware. You must mount the enclosure on the
secure side of the door in a secured area such as a locked utility closet. Make sure it is accessible for programming and maintenance
purposes. Do not use the controller as access device
to enter or exit through the door.
Mounting Procedure:
Unlock and open the metal enclosure. Notice that the enclosure lid opens from top to bottom so the enclosure lid forms a tabletop for a
convenient workspace.
1. Use the supplied wall anchors and sheet metal screws to secure the enclosure to the wall.
2. Drill 11/64’’ diameter holes for the wall anchors.
3. Tap the wall anchors into the wall until the outer flange is flush to the wall surface.
4. Insert the sheet-metal screws ¾ of the way into the anchors.
5. Hang the enclosure by aligning the slotted holes (cut into the rear of the cabinet) with the sheet-metal screws. Space between
slotted holes; on-center 9
