nylon bolts), but standard steel bolts will not compromise Panel Reader performance in
most installations.
Note 5 - The Panel Reader is designed to be completely water-tight. While not intended for
installation immersed in water, contact with water spray, such as heavy rain or power washers is
acceptable.
Caution! - Ensure that the mounting structure itself is sufficiently strong to endure impact by
animals that will come into contact with it. Do not rely on the Panel Reader to contribute to the
structural strength of the installation.
Electrical Installation
Electrical installation consists of making the appropriate power and data connections to
the user’s equipment, and in some installations where multiple Panel Readers are
located, connecting synchronization wiring. Details about data communications and
synchronization are contained in the companion document “Allflex Panel Reader User
Technical Reference”.
Table 3 lists the functions, wire identifying colors, and wire size for the conductors
contained within the Panel Reader cable. Many users will not require use of all wires
and functions provided. Unused wires should have their exposed leads snipped off, and
should be stowed in a protective fashion so that they do not accidentally come into
contact with hazardous foreign voltage potentials, such as may exist in wiring
termination boxes.
