System Installation Overview
Before starting installation:
• Ensure
all
and materials / tools required are
available.
• Ensure all cabling is available for
the peripherals / components being
installed.
IMPORTANT:
All installations & wiring of RAC 4XT
enclosure and peripherals must comply
with all applicable local building codes
and regulations
CAUTION:
Do not connect power to the enclosure
!
until the end of the installation.
If installing the RAC 4 in an elevator cage
!
environment, or in proximity to any other
equipment that may generate high levels
of electromagnetic interference, follow
the installation requirements as indicated
in Annex C to prevent any operational
instability.

Pre-Installation Procedures
Step 1: Identify a secure location for
the RAC 4XT enclosure
IMPORTANT:
• Access to the RAC 4XT enclosure must
be restricted to authorized personnel.
• AC power must be available within 6 feet
(1.8 m) of the RAC 4XT enclosure.
• The location temperature must be from
32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) and sheltered
against weather hazards and dripping
water.
• The enclosure must be installed using
the hardware supplied.
Identify the location for the RAC 4XT enclosure
based on the following:
• Enclosure should be mounted at a
workable
height
completely open the access door.
• The enclosure can be placed either
horizontally in the ceiling or vertically on
a concrete, wood, or plaster wall.
Step 2: Identify location(s) for card
readers and peripherals
Swipe, insert and extended range contactless
card readers must be placed within 500 feet

(150 m) from the RAC 4XT enclosure, while
contactless card readers R79-1N1 must be
placed within 40 feet (12 m) of the reader
power source.
Readers should be installed in an obvious
location at an ergonomic height near the
access door or elevator being controlled.
Swipe card reader:
The space to use the swipe reader must be
large enough to allow for adequate swipe
clearance.
Insert card reader:
The insert reader must be enclosed in the
elevator wall panel, so the location should be
in an area with workable access.
NOTE: The minimum depth required for
mounting of the insert card reader is
4.5".
Contactless card reader:
The space to use the contactless reader
must be large enough to allow for adequate
clearance for the card being presented to the
reader.
Remaining peripherals:
Determine the location(s) required for any
other RAC 4XT system peripherals (REX,
motion detector, etc) and ensure that all
required cabling is available as required in
following steps. Install as per manufacturer's
instructions and route wires to the RAC 4XT
enclosure for connection to the controller
PCB.
Step 3: Set the desired access delay
The default factory setting for the delay on
access devices is 3 seconds. To change this
value configure the controller PCB dip switch
SW2 settings as per Annex A, Table 2.
Step 4: Install strain relief
Strain reliefs are provided in the hardware bag
to secure the wires leading into the enclosure
to
and to help prevent the possibility of wire
tampering.
1.
Determine the routing needed for all
wiring of the RAC 4XT card readers and
peripherals and select the enclosure
knock-out(s) to be removed for installation
of the strain relief(s).
2.
Remove the selected knock-out(s) using
