VESA MOUNTING BRACKET OVERVIEW
The MF4100 Multi-Function Reader ships with a VESA style mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is
optional, but simplifies installation on vertical and horizontal surfaces. The VESA mounting bracket is
adjustable to allow the MF4100 to be positioned at different angles.
Mounting Options
The VESA Mounting Bracket can be mounted in the following ways:
• Wall mount
• Onto an electrical gang box (attended or unattended)
• Directly to a wall (use suitable anchors)
• Table top mount
• With VESA bracket (fixed 15 degree or adjustable angle)
• Without VESA bracket
The holes in the center of the base and pivot plate allow cables to be routed out of the assembly.
Screw Positions
The VESA bracket has provisions for Attended or Unattended mounting positions. To use in attended
locations, the top pivot plate can be used in any position by placing the lock screws in the position shown
below.

For Unattended use, the mounting position can be fixed by placing the lock screws in the position shown
below. This locked position conceals the cables from sight, and secures them from being tampered with.

WALL MOUNT INSTALLATION
The VESA mounting bracket allows for two wall mount installation options:
•Attended Wall Mount Installation (Page: 6)
•Unattended Wall Mount Installation (Page: 8)
Attended Wall Mount Installation
1Find a location on a single gang box to mount the MF4100.
Ensure there is enough clearance for the operator to access the touchscreen and swipe cards.
2Remove the two base extensions by removing the 4 screws (1/8” Pin hex driver).
See: VESA Bracket Assembly Details (Page: 4).
3Place the two locking screws in the position that allows the tilt plate to pivot (1/8” Pin hex driver).
See: VESA Bracket Screw Position - Attended (Page: 3).
4Route the required cables through the VESA bracket cable hole, and then the pivot bracket hole.
Note the orientation of the VESA bracket to the wall.

Note: The pivot plate attaches to the bottom of the MF4100 reader.
5Attach the mounting base to the gang box using the two #6-32 pin hex screws provided in the
hardware kit.

The MF4100 can be powered using the +12 Volt wall mount power supply (included), or Power
Over Ethernet (POE) switch. The power supply requires a dedicated 110 VAC outlet. POE
provides power through the network cable, and reduces cable clutter. A CAT-5 cable must be
connected between the POE switch to the RJ-45 connector on the MF4100 labeled Network,
see the diagram below. When providing power with POE, the maximum LAN cable length
must not exceed 100 meters.

7Place the security plate onto the MF4100, and then route the cables through the plate opening.
Note the orientation of the VESA bracket to the security plate.
