Reader Mounting
Latitude supplies readers in two different sizes: Narrow, which is designed to mount on a door frame, also known as a mullion. The other is a standard one-gang mount. These readers are designed to fit on a standard single outlet box.
Readers should be mounted between 34 inches and 48 inches from the ground. This is ADA code for door handles and readers must follow suit, since they are a form of ingress.
Reader Connection
Use the wire colors according to the diagrams provided by the reader type. It is recommended that DOLPHIN (blue) connectors or WAGO connectors are used to join wires between the reader pigtail and cable going to the control panel. Please avoid using wire nuts. Dolphin connectors are good for fitting into tight spaces, however, they are permanent connections and the wire must be cut to redo a connection. Wago connectors are great because they work with a wide range of wire gauges, and they don’t require wires to be cut to redo a connection, although they may not fit in some smaller areas.
