Important Mounting Requirements
The AM3Plus Access Control System can be installed for public or private use.
The mounting requirements for remote keypads will vary depending on the
installation. Review the following information before starting the installation.
Mounting Environment
Consider the environmental factors at the desired mounting location.
Although the exterior keypads are designed for direct outdoor installations,
it is necessary to protect the AM3Plus from extreme exposure to sun,
driving rain, or snow. Mounting the unit in a kiosk can provide extra
environmental protection. Use a Model CAB-3 (P/N ACP00913) cabinet
for mounting the AM3Plus outdoors.
Follow Building Codes
Check all local building codes and ordinances prior to installing the
system. Proper installation of the AM3Plus conforming to the local
building codes for access control equipment is a regulatory requirement.
The AM3Plus and remote keypad installation is an extremely important
and integral part of the overall access control system.
Mounting Location
If the AM3Plus is used to control a door or pedestrian gate, locate
the remote keypad 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 keypad. NEVER
MOUNT THE KEYPAD DIRECTLY TO A MOVING DOOR OR GATE!
Gate Installations
If the AM3Plus is used to control a gate operator connected to a vehicular
gate, the remote keypad 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 KEYPAD AT THE SAME TIME.
Vehicle Traffi c
Do not mount the remote keypad where it extends into any traffi c lane.
Locate the gooseneck pedestal or entry kiosk so all parts of the keypad
are outside the traffi c lane. Locate the keypad clear of any turn-around
lanes vehicles use when access is denied.
