Installation

• A-1. Surface Mounted: Use a screwdriver to screw the mounting plate to the wall. A-2. Embedded: To dig a hole for AR-837-EL:128mmx109mm; and then, use a screwdriver to screw the mounting plate to the wall.
• Pull cable ends through the access hole in the mounting plate.
• Attach AR-837-EL to the mounting plate and install screws (supplied) into the holes at the bottom with the Allen key.
• Apply power. LED (green) will light up with one beep.

Notice

1. Tubing: The communication wires and power line should NOT be bound in the same conduit or tubing.
2. Wire selection: Use AWG 22-24 Shielded Twist Pair to avoid star wiring, CAT 5 cable for TCP/IP connection
3. Power supply: Don’t equip the reader and lock with the same power supply.  The power for the reader may be unstable when the lock is activating, which may cause a malfunction in the reader.
   The standard installation: The door relay and lock use the same power supply, and the reader should use another independent power supply.
