Linear AM3Plus installation instructions Important Mounting Requirements

Important Mounting Requirements

The AM3Plus Access Control System can be installed for public or private use. The mounting requirements for remote keypads will vary depending on the installation. Review the following information before starting the installation.

Mounting Environment

Consider the environmental factors at the desired mounting location. Although the exterior keypads are designed for direct outdoor installations, it is necessary to protect the AM3Plus from extreme exposure to sun, driving rain, or snow. Mounting the unit in a kiosk can provide extra environmental protection. Use a Model CAB-3 (P/N ACP00913) cabinet for mounting the AM3Plus outdoors.

Follow Building Codes

Check all local building codes and ordinances prior to installing the system. Proper installation of the AM3Plus conforming to the local building codes for access control equipment is a regulatory requirement. The AM3Plus and remote keypad installation is an extremely important and integral part of the overall access control system.

Mounting Location

If the AM3Plus is used to control a door or pedestrian gate, locate the remote keypad as near as practical to the entry point. If the unit is mounted on or in a wall adjacent to the entry point, be sure the wall is sturdy. The repeated shock and vibration from a slamming access door or spring-loaded pedestrian gate must be isolated from the keypad. NEVER

MOUNT THE KEYPAD DIRECTLY TO A MOVING DOOR OR GATE!

Gate Installations

If the AM3Plus is used to control a gate operator connected to a vehicular gate, the remote keypad MUST be mounted AT LEAST 10 feet away from the gate (open and closed) and gate operator. AT NO TIME SHOULD A

PERSON BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE GATE OR GATE OPERATOR AND THE KEYPAD AT THE SAME TIME.

KEYPAD

Do not mount the remote keypad where it extends into any traffi c lane. Locate the gooseneck pedestal or entry kiosk so all parts of the keypad are outside the traffi c lane. Locate the keypad clear of any turn-around lanes vehicles use when access is denied.
