Installation INSTALLATION Installing an RM-iC series reader involves: 1. Installing the mount plate 2. Wiring the components 3. Connecting and grounding the cable shields on the reader bus 4. Setting the RM-4 (reader) address 5. Installing the ARM-1 relay board (optional) 6. Installing the heater kit. (optional) Installing the Mount Plate Figure 1 shows RM-iC standard housing, mount plate, and gasket. All RM-iC series readers conform to the same housing, mount plate, and gasket dimensions.
PAGE 3
Installation This device has been approved for outdoor use when properly installed with RM Heater Kit Installation (P.N. 130-915) and the supplied gasket material. Position the gasket with the RM plate so that the mounting holes are properly aligned. Ensure that the gasket is placed between the mounting surface and mating surface of the RM plate. Fasten the RM plate to the mounting surface with the gasket material in between. Install the gasket so that no gaps or wrinkles are present.

Installation Grounding and Shielding When bus wiring more than one RM-iC reader (Figure 5 ): 1. Attach the shields along the bus together (insulate each connection). Snip off the shield wire at the end of the bus. 2. Attach the shield to the ground at only one point, the ground stud inside the cabinet adjacent to the knockout. 3. Attach a local earth ground (18 or 22 gauge) wire to the J5 component.

Installation NOTE Installing the Heater The ARM-1 has not been evaluated by UL. RM-iC readers require a heater kit (Model 130-915) when installed outdoors in an environment and where temperatures may drop below 40° F (5° C). The Model 130-915 heater kit contains the following parts: TABLE 2. Heater Parts Quantity Description 1 Transformer 12 VAC 40VA 2 Heater Strips 1 Thermostat (turns on at 40 ° F) 3 Wire nuts 2 6-32 x 1/4” screws to mount thermostat to RM plate.

Installation Figure 7 shows RM installation . FIGURE 7. RM Installation Heater Strip Application To avoid problems such as placing the strips too far away from the thermostat, not allowing the thermostat to shut off, or locating the strips too close to the PCB and causing component over-temperature concerns, follow mounting diagram and heater strip application instructions. To apply the heater strip: 1.

Testing with apC or iSTAR hardware 3. Use two (Quantity 2) 6-32 x 1/4" screws to mount the thermostat to the RM Plate. Tighten the screws allowing the thermostat to be sufficiently secured to the plate. Do not over tighten the screws. TESTING WITH APC To test an RM-iC series reader with an apC or iSTAR: OR ISTAR 1. Measure the supply voltage to the RM-4. HARDWARE The voltage can be measured between pin 1 (+12 VDC supply) and pin 4 (ground) on the P4 connector. The voltage must be +12 VDC (+/-5%). 2.
