Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 13
Planning the installation
This section describes how to prepare your site for the installation of the Kronos
InTouchTM.
Mounting template
The Kronos InTouchTM kit includes a paper mounting template that you will use to
mark the wall with the following measurements and indicators:
• Where to screw the base cover into the wall
• Where the AC outlet must be located
• Where cables must exit the wall into the Kronos InTouchTM
• Where cables enter the device from the bottom
Review the following sections to determine how you will use that template to
install the Standard or Slim Profile model Kronos InTouchTM at your site.
Chapter 1 Before You Install the Kronos InTouchTM
14
Location
• The Kronos InTouchTM is designed for mounting on walls in typical office and
indoor manufacturing environments. Recommended wall surfaces are drywall
(sheetrock) and wood.
• Install the Kronos InTouchTM in an area where the screen is not exposed to
direct sunlight or other high-intensity lighting that could make the screen
difficult to read.
• Ensure that the location for the Kronos InTouchTM falls within the following
temperature and humidity ranges:
– Temperature ranges:
Operating: 0 to 40 degrees Celsius (32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit)
Storage: -20 to +70 degrees Celsius (4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit)
– Humidity range (operating and storage): 10% to 95% non-condensing
Access
• New location — To provide optimal access to the Kronos InTouchTM for the
widest range of users, Kronos recommends that the top two mounting screws
be no higher than 54 and 7/8 inches (1.4 meters) above the floor.
• Existing location — If you are replacing an existing Kronos Series 4000
device, you can use the same location (54 and 3/8 inches [1.4 meters] above
the floor) as long as it otherwise conforms to the guidelines and specifications
described in this chapter.
(To remove an installed Kronos Series 4000 device, see Appendix A,
“Removing a Series 4000 Device,” on page 87.)
• ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance:
– The 54 and 7/8 inch height specification (1.4 meters) ensures that no part
of the Kronos InTouchTM that personnel will physically use (badge reader,
keypad) will be higher than the limit set by the ADA.
– Devices mounted on a wall must not protrude more than 4 inches (10 cm)
from the wall. You must mount the Kronos InTouchTM directly to the wall.
Planning the installation
Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 15
– If you are in doubt about any regulations, Kronos recommends that you
check the current ADA requirements.
Power source
The AC power source must be grounded 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60Hz input voltage.
There are several power options, depending on the model (Standard or Slim
Profile) and the configuration required for your site:
• Standard model — Uses standard AC power from an internal or external
source. It includes an integrated, autosensing, AC power transformer that
supports an IEC C13 external power cord connection. This type of connection
allows the use of compatible international power cords.
Choose from the following power supply methods:
– Mounting over an AC outlet (recommended)
– Mounting with direct AC wiring
– Mounting near an AC outlet
• Slim Profile model — Choose from the following power supply methods:
– Using a power-over-Ethernet cable
– Mounting near an external AC outlet
Adherence to local codes
Installation of the Kronos InTouchTM, including all electrical wiring, must comply
with all applicable national, federal, state, and local safety codes and standards.
Chapter 1 Before You Install the Kronos InTouchTM
16
Ethernet cables
• Location — Plan to install the Kronos InTouchTM in a location that allows an
easy and secure connection to an external network (for example, using the
Ethernet cable).
• Ethernet requirements and specifications:
– Your network must comply with the IEEE 802.3AF standard.
– The Kronos InTouchTM supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet
communication and autosensing between 10Mbit and 100Mbit.
– Ethernet communication requires an RJ-45, 8-wire connection, and must
meet all other wiring code specifications.
• All cables must be in place before installing the Kronos InTouchTM.
Optional devices
If you plan to connect certain optional devices to the Kronos InTouchTM, note the
following considerations
• Some optional devices (remote readers, for example) must be mounted within
a certain number of feet (or meters) of the Kronos InTouchTM.
• Some optional devices (for example, the finger scanning option) have
components or cables that must be attached to the Kronos InTouchTM before
that device is completely assembled.
Review the instructions in this guide and in the documents that accompany each
optional device.
Required tools
Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 17
Required tools

Chapter 2 Installing the Standard Model Kronos InTouchTM
22
Prepare the location
Before you install the Standard model Kronos InTouchTM, complete these steps:
•“Step 1: Determine the power source for your site” on page 22
•“Step 2: Mark insertion points for the base” on page 24
•“Step 3: Install the AC outlet” on page 28
Step 1: Determine the power source for your site
Before you start the installation, plan with your electrician (if required for the AC
outlet option that you choose) how the Kronos InTouchTM will connect to AC
outlets at your site.
Choose from the following options and review the associated cautions.
AC outlet options
• Install over an AC outlet (recommended) — If you are replacing a Series
4000 device with the Kronos InTouchTM and are using the same location, you
can use the existing AC outlet.
If the installation is at a new location, you will need to install the AC outlet
(requires a licensed electrician) in the location that you mark on the wall with
the mounting template (described in “Step 2: Mark insertion points for the
base” on page 24).
• Install with the internal direct wiring option — You install this separately
orderable option during the Kronos InTouchTM installation procedure. “Step 2:
Mark insertion points for the base” on page 24 describes how to mark the
entry point for the power line. You then run the AC power line externally
through conduit into the Kronos InTouchTM (requires a licensed electrician).
• Install near an AC outlet
– Use this method if you cannot install the Kronos InTouchTM over an AC
outlet or cannot use the internal direct wiring option.
Prepare the location
Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 23
– Select a location where the distance from the power cable hole at the
bottom of the Kronos InTouchTM is not more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) from
the AC outlet.
Note: Installing the device near an AC outlet does not protect against the AC
power cord from being deliberately or inadvertently unplugged from the
outlet.
Cautions
• A licensed electrician must install the AC outlet and associated wiring before
you install the Kronos InTouchTM
• The AC line that supplies power to the Kronos InTouchTM must be equipped
with an appropriate disconnect device (proper fuse or circuit breaker).
• Do not connect the Kronos InTouchTM power line to circuits that are being
used for electrical devices that draw large amounts of power, such as air
conditioning units, electrical motors, and compressors.
• Avoid running a communications cable near devices that interfere with data
transmission.
Chapter 2 Installing the Standard Model Kronos InTouchTM
24
Step 2: Mark insertion points for the base
To mark areas on the wall where you will install the device, use the mounting
template or the base of the device.
Using the mounting template
The mounting template is printed on a sheet of paper that is included with your
Kronos InTouchTM kit. Use that template to mark the areas of the wall where you
plan to install the Kronos InTouchTM.
Note that you use the same template for both models: the two large holes in the
middle are for the Slim Profile model and the two large holes on the right are for
the Standard model.
Prepare the location
Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 25
Using the base of the device as the template
You can also use the base of the Kronos InTouchTM as the template. Note,
however, that if you plan to install the device over the AC outlet, first remove the
plastic knockout plate from the base of the Kronos InTouchTM. This will allow the
base to fit over the outlet as you hold the base against the wall.
1. Use a small wire cutters to cut the plastic tabs that anchor the knockout:
2. Remove the plate:
Chapter 2 Installing the Standard Model Kronos InTouchTM
26
Marking the wall
1. Tape the mounting template (or position the base) at the optimal height and
location for the Kronos InTouchTM.
– The top mounting screws must be 51 and 1/2 inches (1.3 meters) above
the floor, for ADA compliance.
– Use a level to ensure that the top of the template is horizontal to the floor.
Note: If you are replacing a Series 4000 device, you can install the Kronos
InTouchTM on the same area of the wall but you cannot use the same screw
holes.
2. If installing over an AC outlet (Standard model only), mark the location for
the installation of that outlet. (If you are replacing a Series 4000 device that
was previously mounted over an AC outlet, you can use that same outlet for
the Kronos InTouchTM.)
3. Mark the location of the mounting screw holes, as follows
– Installing over an AC outlet: Mark the two top screws to the right of the
knockout plate and the single screw in the bottom middle. (See the
illustration in “Example 1: Mounting over an AC outlet:” on page 35.)
– Installing near an AC outlet: Mark the top screw that is on the far left (on
the knockout plate), the top screw on the far right, and the single screw in
the bottom middle. (See the illustration in “Example 3: Mounting near an
AC outlet:” on page 37.)
– Installing with direct AC wiring: Mark the top screw that is on the far left
(on the knockout plate), the top screw on the far right, and the single
screw in the bottom middle. (See the illustration in “Example 2:
Mounting with direct AC wiring” on page 36.)
4. If you plan to run an AC power line externally through conduit to the internal
direct wired option inside the Kronos InTouchTM, mark the point of entry into
the bottom left hole of the base, as indicated on the template. (See the
illustration in “Example 2: Mounting with direct AC wiring” on page 36.)
5. If you plan to run an Ethernet cable or cable from a remote reader through the
wall to enter the Kronos InTouchTM from the back or through the bottom, use
Prepare the location
Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 27
the template to mark the point of entry. (See the illustrations in “Securing the
Ethernet cable” on page 39.)
6. If you are installing the Kronos InTouchTM near an AC outlet, be sure the
outlet is within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the template.
7. After you finish marking all entry points, screw holes, etc., remove the
mounting template (or base) from the wall.

28
Step 3: Install the AC outlet
If you plan to install near an existing AC outlet, skip this step.
• To install over an AC outlet:
a. Be sure you have prepared the location and reviewed the cautions
described in “Step 1: Determine the power source for your site” on page
22.
b. Use a licensed electrician to install the AC outlet at the location that you
marked on the wall in “Step 2: Mark insertion points for the base” on page
24.
• To install with the internal direct wiring option, use a licensed electrician to
run the power line (CL-2 code or higher) through conduit up to the point of
entry that you marked on the wall in “Step 2: Mark insertion points for the
base” on page 24.
Warning: Do not turn on the power for the direct wiring option until until you
are directed to do so in this guide or in the installation guide for that option
kit.

Remove cable access plugs
The base of the Kronos InTouchTM has two cable access holes in the top right of
the base and two holes at the bottom of the base. Remove the plastic plug from
each hole through which you plan to run cable
Note: To install with the direct AC wiring option, you must use the bottom hole
on the left side of the base (right side in the view from the back in the illustration
above). See “Example 2: Mounting with direct AC wiring” on page 36. Use the
other holes to run other cables.
Mount the base
Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 33
Mount the base
After you prepare the location, drill holes at the locations on the wall that you
marked with the template. Then, mount the base of the Kronos InTouchTM to the
wall:
1. To install the device over an AC outlet, remove the knockout plate (if it has
not already been removed)).
2. Using the two large holes on the right that you marked on the wall from the
mounting template or the base, use a 3/8 inch drill bit to drill holes into the
wall at those marked locations. Those holes will be used to run the Ethernet
cable, the cable from a remote reader, and any other cables that you plan to
run through the wall in to the base of the Kronos InTouchTM.
Chapter 2 Installing the Standard Model Kronos InTouchTM
34
3. To mount the base on wood:
a. Drill pilot holes for the top two mounting screws and the bottom
mounting screw. See examples on page 35,page 36, amd page 37.
b. Use a drill or screwdriver to drive the top two mounting screws and the
bottom middle screw (supplied with the Kronos InTouchTM) into the wall,
leaving 1/4 inch (6 mm) between the head of the screw and the wall.
To mount the base on drywall:

Kronos InTouchTM Installation Guide 61
Step 2: Mark insertion points for the base
To mark areas on the wall where you will install the device, use the mounting
template or the base of the device
Using the mounting template
The mounting template is printed on a sheet of paper that is included with your
Kronos InTouchTM kit. Use that template to mark the areas of the wall where you
plan to install the Kronos InTouchTM. (You can also use the base itself as the
template.)
Note that you use the same template for both models: the two large holes in the
middle are for the Slim Profile model and the two large holes on the right are for
the Standard model.
1. Tape the mounting template (or position the base) at the optimal height and
location for the Kronos InTouchTM.
– The top mounting screws must be 51 and 1/2 inches (1.3 meters) above
the floor, for ADA compliance.
