Installation (AR-837-E/EE/EF/W)

• A-1.Surface Mounted
• A-2.Embedded

B.

• A-1.Surface Mounted: Use a screwdriver to screw the mounting plate to the wall. A-2.Embedded: To dig a hole for 837-E:85mmx113mm / 837-EF:128mmx109mm; and then, use a screwdriver to screw the mounting plate to the wall.
• Pull cable ends through the access hole in the mounting plate.
• Attach AR-837-E or AR-837-EF to the mounting plate and install screws (supplied) into the holes at the bottom with the Allen key.
• Apply power. LED (green) will light up with one beep.

1. Tubing: The communication wires and power line should NOT be bound in the same conduit or tubing.
2. Wire selection: Use AWG 22-24 Shielded Twist Pair to avoid star wiring, CAT 5 cable for TCP/IP connection
3. Power supply: Don’t equip reader and lock with the same power supply. The power for reader may be unstable when the lock is activating, that may cause a
   malfunction in the reader.
   The standard installation: Door relay and lock use the same power supply, and reader should use another independent power supply
