6. Installation
6-1. Mullion/Wall Mount:
Drill two 6-32 or M3 screws 3.3" (8.38cm) apart in vertical and drill one 1/2" hole for the reader
cable 1.7" (4.31cm) apart from the top hole.
(Skip this step, if you have installed an electric gang box.)
6-2. Put reader cable into the center hole and install the reader module by using two 6-32 or M3 screws.
6-3. Put bezel into the reader module, then push bezel until you hear the locking sound.
6-4. Installation consideration
6-4-1. Installation of SR10 on metal
Read range will be reduced if located on metal surfaces or in the vicinity of metal objects.
The amount of reduction will be a factor of the amount of metal and the distance the
Reader is from the metal. Metal near the Reader absorbs energy from the Reader excite
field and affects the signal being received from the card by re-directing excite field
transmissions into the receiver circuitry. Moving the Reader away from the metal objects
reduces energy loss.
Try to limit the amount of metallic materials installed near the SR10.
Use a plastic electrical box if possible.
When installing the Reader on metal door frame, add Isolation Spacers between the
Reader and metal door frame. If you do so, read range reduction can be improved.
The typical read distance specification (2-4 inches at 12VDC) refers to operation without
metal in the vicinity of the Reader.
The read distance will be reduced if metal is installed nearby. The SR10RW generate a
magnetic field on all sides of the Reader. Any metal that conducts electricity, especially
metal that contains iron, steel or copper will interfere with the field and reduce the effective
spacer between the Reader and the metal object.
