Touch io Instruction Manual
3. Drill two small holes to support the mounting screws (and wall anchors, if being mounted on drywall)
using the bracket’s mounting position holes to mark the locations. Drill a larger hole between them for
the controller and reader wiring to pass through. (Ensure the hole is large enough to pass the wires back
through the hole. Once the wires have been paired, crimped, and wrapped in electrical tape, they will
need room to be pushed back and concealed inside the wall or mullion prior to mounting the reader.)
The bracket’s lower mounting stub should be at the bottom. Mount the clear bracket by first securing
the upper screw to the surface, then level and secure the bracket with the lower screw.
4. Feed the wires from the door controller through the mullion or wall hole and bracket opening in
preparation for pairing with the
touch io
reader wires.
IMPORTANT: Before pairing the wires, ensure the power source (including the backup battery) is NOT
energized until all wires are properly connected. A backup battery is HIGHLY
recommended to prevent system failure in the event of an AC power loss.
5. Strip the ends of the wires and pair the
touch io
reader wires with the appropriate
by
inserting the exposed ends of each wire pair (one of each door controller and
touch io
reader) into each
end of a B connector wire splice. Ensure that both wires are securely crimped at least three times inside
a B connector to ensure the wire pairs are held securely in the wire splice and will not disconnect.
Repeat this for each set of paired wires.
