- Check the gate motor for a 120v outlet. This can provide you with an excellent local source of power for your keypads and prevents severe voltage drop issues) Confirm that the power outlet has a constant-hot connection and is not on a timer or photocell device.
- Plan on running a couple of spare 18/2 OAS Shielded wires. This can help in case you forgot something or need it for future add-ons to the system.
- Keypads should be on their own individual power supplies (QuikStor always includes enough power supplies at the time of the sale to meet these requirements. If you find you don’t have enough please contact QuikStor or your sales representative immediately).
- QuikStor recommends and provides a switch that bypasses the keypad system in the event that the gate needs to be held open for an extended length of time. Please keep this in mind when you are planning your wire pulls. An extra 18/2 cable between the office bypass switch and gate motor will be needed.
- Please make sure your client has installed the QuikStor Express software and data entry have been completed before you head out to complete the installation.
- Make sure all conduit is complete before starting the job
- Verify that all conduits follow a logical pattern as suggested by the QuikStor typical conduit layout CAD drawing included in this document. (Note that the QuikStor typical conduit layout drawing is merely a suggested guideline and can be deviated from or done in other ways based on your own personal experience. In no way does QuikStor accept any liabilities for mishandled conduit runs, improper conduit sizes, improper interpretations, or misused guidelines based on this layout.)
By following these suggestions you should be well on your way to a quick and easy installation of your new QuikStor access control products.
