Planning An Installation; Site Preparation; Handreader Placement - Recognition Systems HANDKEY II Manual

Planning an Installation

Site Before you begin installation, check the site blueprints, riser diagrams, and
Preparation 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.
HandReader The recommended height for the HandReader platen is 40 inches (102 cm)
Placement 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.
