• 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.
• 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. The requirements below apply only when the telephone entry system is
being used to control entry through a public door only. If this system is used to control entry through a vehicular gate or
private entrance, the dimensions noted below do not apply.
• 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
installations, however it is preferable to protect them from direct exposure to driven rain or snow whenever possible.
Flush mount units must be protected from direct exposure to the elements.
• 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.
• Instruct the end user to read and follow these instructions. Instruct the end user to never let children play with or
operate any access control device. This Owner’s Manual is the property of the end user and must be left with them
when installation is complete.
