Installing the RM-4 Personality Module
To install a third-party reader:
1. For non-Sensormatic Wiegand readers such as Sensor Readers, install
the RM-4 in a grounded 6" x 4" (minimum) metal junction box no
more than 25 feet from the read head.
2. Remove the knockout plugs from the junction box.
3. Install the box in the desired location, and attach the conduits.
4. Mount the RM-4 module using metal standoffs and screws.
5. Earth grounding the module is required to reduce electrical noise in
the circuit. To ground the module to the box, either make a connection
from lug J5 to earth ground or use a metal standoff and screw in the
mounting hole next to C2 and V4 (the voltage regulator).
6. Make sure that the connection is continuous to the box. See Figure
4.10 for the location of the grounding lug J5.
To install a magnetic stripe Mullion reader:
1. Install the RM-4 for a magnetic stripe mullion reader RM-3 in a
grounded, 6" x 4" (minimum) metal junction box no more than 10
feet (3.05 m) from the read head.
CAUTION
Outdoor readers MUST be installed in a vertical
position to allow for proper drainage. Install a fitted
gasket between the backing plate of these readers and
the wall. Ensure that the “weep” holes in the bottom
of the housing are unobstructed.
