NOTE
Before you begin installation, check the site blueprints, riser diagrams, and specifications
for important information about the HandRreader's location and other systems that will
connect to the HandReader. Look for any existing wall preparations and wiring that other
contractors may have installed for the HandReaders.
The recommended height for the HandReader platen is 40 inches (102 cm) from the
finished floor. The HandReader should be out of the path of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic, and convenient too, but not behind the door it is controlling. Avoid placing the
HandReader where users must cross the swing path of the door. The HandReader should
be in an area where it is not exposed to excessive airborne dust, direct sunlight, water, or
chemicals.
40 in. (102 cm.)
