drill holes (appropriate for the surface material) at the marked locations.

3. Reposition the mounting plate over the mounting holes and secure using the supplied fasteners (as
appropriate for the surface material).
4. Position the reader by aligning the markers on the metal base plate and the wall bracket, positioning the
key-slot holes over the mounting screws. Gently slide the reader down (see Figure 3-1) to lock into place.
5. To remove the reader, press the release tab and slide the reader up while gently pulling out.
NOTE For wood surfaces, drill two 1/8" diameter by 7/8" deep holes. For drywall/masonry surfaces, drill two
3/16" diameter by 7/8" deep (min) holes and install using the provided anchors.

CAUTION Use a hand screw driver to install the mounting plate (do not use a power driver). Do not use
excessive torque, and tighten the screws so that they are just snug on the screw head stops (see
Figure 3-1). If the reader does not engage the mounting plate, loosen the screw(s) 1/8 to 1/4 turn and
try again.
NOTE Mount the reader with the cable connections up or down, depending on the installation requirements.
