Installation Note | Gallagher T11 Reader
Installation
The Gallagher T11 Reader is designed to be mounted on vertically orientated electrical
flush (gang) boxes, or any solid flat surface. However installation on metal surfaces,
particularly those with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to
which the range is reduced will depend upon the type of metal used.
The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1m (3.6 ft) from the floor
level to the centre of the reader device. However this may vary in some countries
and you should check local regulations for variations to this height.
Ensure the building cable has been run out through the flush box.1.
If you are not mounting to a flush box, use the drill template at the back of this
installation note as a guide, to drill all five holes. Drill the 13mm (1/2 inch)
diameter centre hole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will
exit the mounting surface) and the four fixing holes.
Run the building cabling through the reader base.2.
