Ensure both you and the equipment are earthed beforebeginning any servicing.The Gallagher T15 Reader is designed to be mounted on any solid flat surface. However installation onmetal surfaces, particularly those with a large surface area will reduce read range. The extent to whichthe range is reduced will depend upon the type of metal surface.The recommended mounting height for the reader is 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the floor level to the centre ofthe reader device. However this may vary in some countries and you should check local regulations forvariations to this height.1. Use the reader base as a guide to drill all three holes. Drill the 13 mm (1/2 inch) diameter centrehole (this is the centre hole for which the building cable will exit the mounting surface) and thetwo fixing holes.2. Run the building cabling out through the centre hole and through the reader base.3. Secure the base to the mounting surface using the two fixing screws provided. It is important thebase of the reader is flush with and tight against the mounting surface. Three screw locationshave been provided. Gallagher recommend using the outer screw locations.Note: It is strongly recommended that you use the screws provided. If an alternative screw isused, the head must be no larger nor deeper than that of the screw provided.Note: Ensure the centre hole allows the cable to run freely out through the mounting surface, sothat the reader facia can clip into the base.BaseBuilding cableNo. 6 pan head screwNo. 6 pan head screw4.
