prox.pad plus Unit Select one of these three installation configurations,
wall mount, glass mount, or secure as appropriate for
this installation. Then refer to sections 2.4.1-2.4.3.
2.4.1 Performing a
Wall Mounted
Installation
This section provides general considerations when
performing a wall mounted installation. Typically, the
prox.pad plus unit is mounted on a flat, level surface
(drywall, masonry, wood, etc.) exterior to the room to
be accessed. A single-gang electrical box (or “back box”)
can be used. Typically, the prox.pad plus unit is wall
mounted outside the access area on the unsecure side
of the door.
Figure 2-3 illustrates the backplate on the prox.pad
plus unit used for wall mounting. Two “single-gang
box” holes align with two corresponding holes in the
single-gang box. A “wire” exit knockout is supplied
through which the prox.pad plus wiring is pulled. A
typical wall mounted installation proceeds as follows:
1. Secure a single-gang box to the desired location.
2. “Punch out” the two single-gang box connectors
on the controller backplate of the prox.pad plus
unit.
3. Disconnect the controller backplate of the
prox.pad plus unit from the front keypad/control-
ler. Align the two single-gang box connectors on
the controller backplate over the two correspond-
ing holes on the single-gang box, previously se-
cured at step 1.
4. Secure the backplate to the single-gang box by
inserting/tightening two screws into the two sin-
gle-gang box holes.
5. Pull the prox.pad plus wiring through the wiring
exit as appropriate.
6 Connect the front keypad/controller to the back
housing.
7. Install the tamper screw into the hole at the bottom
front of the enclosure using a #6 spanner bit (not
included, but available from IEI).
