# Reader installation ## **Install guide** Document Number 490-0002-01 Revision 05 – 27th October 2025 {% file src="" %} ## **What’s in the box?** * Accessia Reader * Bezel removal tool ## **What you’ll need** * 2 x 3.5mm diameter (no. 6) panhead screws and wall anchors suitable for the wall surface the Reader will be mounted on * 5-way terminal block with suitable tool for 24AWG wire connection * Bezel removal tool (supplied) * 120 Ohm +/- 1% termination resistor (depending on topology) ## **Mounting guide** ### Before you start * Make sure the wall you want to mount the Reader on is flat and vertical * Choose a good position that is easy for all users to access, including those with limited mobility * Make sure there is a hole in the wall behind the Reader which you can pass the integrated cable through * Avoid mounting the Reader directly onto a metallic surface ### How to mount the Reader 1. Remove the bezel. Insert the removal tool into the two holes at the bottom of the Reader. Push the tool in until the clips at the lower end of the bezel release and lift. Unhook the upper end of the bezel and remove it from the Reader (Figure 1) 2. Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the Reader by sliding it downwards (Figure 2) ![Figure 1: Removing the bezel](https://1157766007-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgMpDCc9niMPkEbpxDaD9%2Fuploads%2F1welTaS13w8PZfsaHfsY%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=283f61f1-da0d-4396-b34b-dda8d168d4b3) ![Figure 2: Removing the mounting bracket](https://1157766007-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgMpDCc9niMPkEbpxDaD9%2Fuploads%2F2kUGuXRIQ9Yx67RtOqjf%2Fimage%20\(1\).png?alt=media\&token=d4878244-9bc5-4b65-a32e-64065da81372) 3. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using fixings appropriate for the wall surface. Make sure that the that the hole in the wall for the integrated cable and the exit point for the cable from the Reader are lined up when positioning the mounting bracket (Figure 3) ![Figure 3: Securing the mounting bracket](https://1157766007-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgMpDCc9niMPkEbpxDaD9%2Fuploads%2FwYer32zzXdGEaL2GSvbi%2Fimage%20\(2\).png?alt=media\&token=8807248f-fce6-4937-9862-af250d0a912b) 4. Pass the integrated cable though the mounting bracket and the wall and then hook the Reader onto the mounting bracket. Make sure the Reader is fully attached to the mounting bracket 5. Hook the top edge of the bezel over the top of the Reader and press the lower end of the bezel until it clicks securely into place ## **Wiring guide** * The Reader must be connected to an Accessia Hub. For connections and topologies, check the [AI Security Hub installation guide](https://docs.accessia.com/hardware/ai-security-hub-hub-v1/ai-security-hub-hub-v1-installation) and Figure 4 below * The Reader must be connected using shielded twisted pair cable, for example Belden 8723. Connect the shield to the drain wire in the Reader’s integrated cable * The RS-485 twisted pair must be terminated at both ends with a 120 Ohm +/- 1% resistor. For details, check the [AI Security Hub installation guide](https://docs.accessia.com/hardware/ai-security-hub-hub-v1/ai-security-hub-hub-v1-installation) * Make sure that the terminal block and all wiring is inaccessible to unauthorized personnel ![Figure 4: Reader integrated cable connections](https://1157766007-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgMpDCc9niMPkEbpxDaD9%2Fuploads%2FHk7qUSWVfXrla98qw0LK%2Fimage%20\(3\).png?alt=media\&token=0508568f-ef35-4e99-9673-2e4c1c3ec7c8) Maximum cable lengths: * 22 AWG: 250 feet / 76 meters * 20 AWG: 330 feet / 100 meters * 18 AWG: 500 feet / 152 meters ## **Information** ### **Reader supported credentials** * NFC - MIFARE DESFire EV2 and EV3 * BLE - Accessia for mobile and SDKs * UWB - Accessia for mobile and SDKs ### How to clean When necessary, clean the Reader with a soft damp cloth.
