INSTALLING THE UNITS
Installation Hints
Each unit (RK600 Unit or Auxiliary Reader) consists of two parts: a mounting
plate and a housing. The Back Box / Spacer is optional.
When mounting the unit on metal, install the optional Back Box /Spacer
(Figure 5) between the mounting plate and the mounting surface to minimize
the loss of reading distance caused by the metal. The spacer can also be used
on non-metallic surfaces to provide additional room for wiring connections.
When mounting the RK600 Unit and Auxiliary Reader on opposite sides
of a wall, offset the units by about 6" for the best reading distance.
Do not locate two RK600 units closer than two (2) feet apart. Do not
locate the RK600 or RKAR within two (2) feet of a PC Monitor or CPU
enclosure, or any other source of EMI (electro-magnetic interference)
such as radio transmitters, elevators, large electric motors or
fluorescent ballasts.
If the RK600 or Auxiliary Reader must be concealed, the RK-GM glass
mount kit can be used to permanently adhere the unit to the back of a
glass window. The RK-GM consists of two parts: a large PVC sheet which
adheres to the inside of the window, and a smaller adhesive sheet that is
used to affix the RK600 mounting plate to the larger sheet. To allow cables
to exit the reader housing, remove the small knockout(s) on the bottom of
the housing by prying out with small pliers.
Installation Procedure
1. Orient the mounting plate with the threaded insert at the bottom; attach it to
a single-gang electrical box with two 6-32 x 1/2" screws (supplied); or attach
directly to the wall surface, using anchor screws or toggle bolts (Figure 4).
a. If using the optional spacer, insert spacer alignment pins into
corresponding holes on the back of the mounting plate, then install both
parts so that the spacer is closest to the wall or mounting surface (Figure 5).
b. For exterior applications, install the thick gasket between the wall
or mounting surface and the back of the mounting plate.
c. If using the optional spacer, install the thick gasket between the
spacer and the mounting surface, install the mounting plate and
spacer using the two 6-32 x 1-1/2" screws supplied with the spacer,
then place the thin gasket around the mounting plate (Figure 6).
