11.1 Mounting Readers

The PIV-Station readers are designed to mount on either a double-gang electrical box or any flat surface.

Consult with local professionals regarding the building and safety codes that will affect your installation.

Bioscrypt provides wall plate for these applications. The following section describes the proper PIV-Station

mounting. The mounting plate is detailed below in Figure 10.

Factors in determining the position of the reader on the wall should include mounting in-line with other switch

plates or fixtures, approximately 54 inches from floor to top of reader, mounted on knob-side of door, and in

accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act

48 – 54”

Figure 10: Mounting Height

All of the PIV-Stations and mounting plates are constructed out of durable ABS plastic. This system provides for

a very lightweight, yet sturdy system.

11.2 Mounting Templates

• For mounting into wall anchors, wood or sheet metal use #4 flat head screws (<0.125 inch thread width,

<0.250 inch head width).

• For mounting onto gang box, use #6-32 machine screws with flat head.

• All dimensions are in mm unless noted.

• Refer to Figure 13 for image of the PIV-Station mounting plate.

• Leave wires accessible for wiring of reader later.

• The Weidmuller connector will protrude approximately 24 mm (1 inch) past the wall plate and into the

wall (depending on the connectors attached).

• The access hole must be at least the size of the hole in the wall plate (136mm (~5 3/8”) wide by 69mm

(~2 ¾”) tall). Trace the edges of the hole in the wall plate in pencil before cutting.

11.3 Attaching Reader to Mount

Reader mounting is very simple when the time comes (See Section 12). The mounting plate (See Figure 12) is

attached using screws and anchors to secure it in place. The reader body has tabs that slide into the wall plate.
