Installation Considerations
1) Installation of the Model 240 reader on metal
The table below shows the expected read range reduction when a Model 240 reader is
mounted onto a metal plate or wall.
Distance Reading distance
No metal plate 100 %
1.78 inch (4.5 cm) use 4 Surface
Mount Extension plates 100%
1.06 inch, (2.7 cm) use 3 Surface
Mount Extension plates 85 %
0.70 inch (1.8 cm) use 2 Surface
Mount Extension plates 70 %
0.35 inch (0.9 cm) use 1 Surface
Mount Extension plate 50 %
Reader placed on metal wall 10 %
2) Installation of two Model 240 readers side by side
Read range is not affected if the center-to-center distance between two readers is equal to or
greater than 6-inches (15 cm). If the distance between the two readers is less than 6-inches
(15 cm), field interference between the two readers may result in the creation of a dead spot
in the badge read field.
Attention
Two readers may simultaneously read the same badge or tag if the distance between the two
readers is less than 12-inches (30 cm), center-to-center.

3) Installation of two Model 240 readers back to back
For proper operation, readers installed back-to-back must be separated by at least 3.2 inches
(8cm).
Attention
Two readers may simultaneously read the same badge or tag if the distance between the two
readers is less than 6-inches (15 cm), back-to-back.
When using two readers back-to-back on a wall that will separate the two readers by 6 inches
(15 cm) or less, a metal plate (for example aluminium, 4-inches square (10cm x 10cm) must
be placed between the readers. To obtain the maximum read range, mount each Model 240
reader onto one or more Surface Mount Extension plates. Note the impact on badge read
range performance, as discussed in manual section, “Installation Considerations” (above).

Access Control system compatibility
The Model-240 badge reader will output a 16-digit badge identification (BID) number. As a result,
the Model-240 reader is only compatible with Picture Perfect access control systems. The Model-
240 reader is not compatible with Secure Perfect, Secure Perfect Enterprise Edition, SP, or SP-
Enterprise Edition access control systems, (12-digit BID number limitation).
Picture Perfect
A 16-digit BID format must be defined within Picture Perfect. Refer to the Picture Perfect On-line
help for assistance. In brief, go to Access / Badge Formats. Enter a suitable badge format
description, example: “16-digit BID” and define the format: “%16S” (omit the quote characters).
Reader to Micro wiring distance
The maximum reader to micro cable distance is 1,000 feet (305 meters) from the microcontroller
using 4-conductor 22AWG (0.6438mm) shielded cable.
