How to Install the ISONAS PureIP Reader-controller 7
1.3: INSTALLATION LOCATION GUIDELINES
When selecting the location where you are going to mount the ISONAS reader-controller, a few
guidelines should be observed.
1) The reader-controller should be kept at least 2 feet from another ISONAS reader-controller,
and 6 feet from any other RF emitting device.
2) In an exterior location, the reader-controller’s mounting should be sealed to prevent water
from running down between the mounting surface and the back of the reader-controller.
3) For the PureIP RC, a dielectric insulating compound (Dow Corning DC-4 or equivalent) can
be used to obtain extra water protection of the reader-controller’s cable connections.
4) In humid environments, it is recommended that a drip-loop be formed in the PureIP’s
cables, before the cables enter the reader-controller.
5) The reader-controller should be protected from extreme heat and sunlight. It is rated for
conditions up to 135 F. A direct southern exposure, in the Southwest area of the United
States may exceed these ratings.
6) The cables extending from the back of the PureIP’s Pigtail cable is available in a two
standard lengths (10 foot or 25 foot). Plan for the termination of the door wiring within that
distance of the reader-controller.
7) The wall mounting features required for the reader-controller are shown in the next figure.
It is recommended to use the RC04’s detachable metal bracket as a drill template for
locating the mounting screws.
