Controlled Products Systems Group 1834-080 - Manual (Page 8)

GENERAL INFORMATION
• Prior to beginning the installation of the telephone entry system, we suggest that you become
familiar with the instructions, illustrations, and wiring guidelines in this manual. This will help
insure that you installation is performed in an efficient and professional manner.
• Telcom Access Standards. It is not permissible for customers to use the telcom network
lead-in cable to provide the intercom function between the gate and the house.
New Zealand Customers: All door and gate entry systems wiring must comply with PTC106:
March 2008, Section 9.
• The proper installation of the telephone entry panel is an extremely important and integral
part of the overall access control system. Check all local building ordinances and building
codes prior to installing this system. Be sure your installation is in compliance with local
codes.
• When used to control a door or pedestrian gate, try to locate the telephone entry system as
near as possible to the entry point. The unit should be mounted on a rigid wall to prevent
excessive shock and vibration from closing doors or gates. Continuous vibration and shock
from slamming doors or spring-loaded pedestrian gates will damage the circuit board. Under
no circumstances should the unit be mounted directly to a moving door or gate.
• ADA mounting requirements for door control (Ref: ICC/ANSI A117.1-2009).
1. Unobstructed Forward Reach. Where a clear floor or ground space allows only a
forward approach to an object and is unobstructed, mounting height shall be a
minimum of 15 inches (381 mm), and a maximum of 48 inches (1.22 m), above the
floor or ground to the operable controls.
2. Obstructed High Forward Reach. If the high forward reach is over an obstruction
greater than 20 inches, but less than 25 inches, mounting height shall be a maximum
of 44 inches (1.12 m) above the floor or ground to the operable controls.
3. Unobstructed Side Reach. Where a clear floor or ground space allows a parallel
approach to an object and the side reach is unobstructed, and the edge of the clear
floor space is 10 inches (255 mm) maximum from the object, mounting height shall
be a minimum of 15 inches (380 mm), and a maximum of 48 inches (1.22 m), above
the floor or ground to the operable controls.
4. Obstructed High Side Reach. If the side reach is over an obstruction greater than 10
inches, but less than 24 inches, mounting height shall be a maximum of 46 inches
(1.17 m) above the floor or ground to the operable controls.
• WARNING: When used to control a vehicular gate with an automatic gate operator, the
telephone entry system must be mounted a minimum of ten (10) feet away from the
gate and gate operator, or in such a way that a person cannot operate the entry system
and/or touch the gate or gate operator at the same time.
• Be sure that the system is installed so that it is not directly in the traffic lane. Goose neck
mounting post and kiosks work well for these type systems. When planning where to locate
the system, take into consideration traffic lane layouts, turn around lanes for rejected access,
conduit runs, power availability, etc.
• Environmental factors must also be taken into account. Surface mount units are designed for
direct outdoor installation; however it is preferable to protect them from direct exposure to
driven rain or snow whenever possible. Flush mount and wall mount units must be protected
from direct exposure to the elements. Be sure that ample lighting is provided so that guest
can read both the directory and the operating instructions at night.
• This telephone entry system contains a number of static sensitive components that can be
damaged or destroyed by static discharges during installation or use. Discharge any static
prior to removing the circuit board from the lobby panel by touching a proper ground device.
