General Information
 Prior to beginning the installation of the access control 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 1838 Access Plus 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 vehicular gate with an automatic gate operator, the access
device (card reader, keypad, etc.) 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 access device 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 and access devices, 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 access devices 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 access devices must be
protected from direct exposure to the elements.
 This access control 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.
