Important Mounting Requirements
The AE1000Plus Telephone Entry System can be installed for public 
or private use. The mounting requirements will vary depending on 
the installation. Review the following information before beginning the 
installation.
Mounting Environment
Consider the environmental factors at the desired mounting location. The 
AE1000Plus is designed for direct outdoor installations, however, it is 
preferable to protect the unit from extreme exposure to sun, driving rain, 
or snow whenever possible. Mounting the unit in a kiosk can provide extra 
environmental protection.
Follow Building Codes
Check all local building codes and ordinances prior to installing the 
system. Proper installation of the AE1000Plus conforming to the local 
building codes for access control equipment is a regulatory requirement. 
The AE1000Plus installation is an extremely important and integral part 
of the overall access control system.
Mounting Location
If the AE1000Plus is used to control a door or pedestrian gate, locate 
the unit as near as practical to the entry point. If the unit is mounted on 
or in a wall adjacent to the entry point, be sure the wall is sturdy. The 
repeated shock and vibration from a slamming access door or spring-
loaded pedestrian gate must be isolated from the AE1000Plus. NEVER 
MOUNT THE UNIT DIRECTLY TO A MOVING DOOR OR GATE!
Gate Installations
If the AE1000Plus is used to control a gate operator connected to a 
vehicular gate, the unit MUST be mounted AT LEAST 10 feet away from 
the gate (open and closed) and gate operator. AT NO TIME SHOULD A 
PERSON BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE GATE OR GATE OPERATOR AND 
THE AE1000Plus AT THE SAME TIME.
Vehicle Traffi c
Do not mount the AE1000Plus where it extends into any traffi c lane. Locate 
the gooseneck pedestal or entry kiosk so all parts of the AE1000Plus are 
outside the traffi c lane. Locate the AE1000Plus clear of any turn-around 
lanes vehicles use when access is denied.
