Internal vs. External Receivers Receiver Positioning/Stagger Tuning
When the Controller is positioned near the
monitored door, the Receiver is mounted
internally in the Controller housing.
Position the Receiver within approximately 6
feet of the center of the monitored zone or door
opening. It is permissible to mount it beyond 6
feet, but do not exceed 15 feet from the center of
the zone or door opening.
When the Controller is positioned away from the
monitored door, the Receiver is mounted at the
zone in a 4”x4”x2” electrical box (
Figure 5.3).
The recommended location for the Receiver unit
is up and out of the way such as above the
doorframe or above drop ceiling panels if
possible. Receivers monitor 40 feet outward in
every direction; therefore, they should be
positioned approximately 70 feet apart.
If the Receivers of adjacent zones need to be
closer than 70 feet (
Figure 5.4), implement
Stagger Tuning (
page 4-6) to avoid crosstalk
(activated Tags from one zone being detected in
another zone).
Figure 5.3 4”x4”2” electrical box
Keep in mind when the Controller is remotely
located, at least two 4”x4”x2” electrical boxes
are needed at the zone. One box is used to mount
the Receiver near the door as mentioned above
and the second box is used as a junction box for
the composite cable (where connections are
made to wires that “branch” to the individual
system components).

If you receive your system equipment and
determine that the Receiver needs to be changed
from an Internal to External mounting or vice
versa, contact your Accutech Representative
about acquiring the proper faceplate.
