HandPunch
Placement
NOTE
Before you begin installation, check the site blueprints, riser diagrams, and specifications
for important information about HandPunch location and for other systems that connect to
the HandPunch. Look for any existing wall preparations and wiring that other contractors
may have installed for the HandPunch. A wire routing layout diagram (see Figure 3-2 on
page 14) is provided to assist in planning wire routing.
The recommended height for the HandPunch platen is 40 inches (102 cm) from the
finished floor. The HandPunch should be out of the path of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic, and convenient to the door it is controlling. Avoid placing the HandPunch where
users must cross the swing path of the door. The HandPunch should be in an area where
it is not exposed to excessive airborne dust, direct sunlight, water, or chemicals.
