Vandal Resistant Cover
The vandal resistant cover (VRC) accessory is ideal for locations where a card reader may be exposed to damage,
including corridors, parking buildings, correctional facilities, and other public places. Highly resistant to impact,
such as from the swing of a hammer or baseball bat, its robust construction provides greater durability and
protection against vandalism and malicious damage. The flush design also serves as an anti-ligature measure for
an additional level of safety.

For installation instructions, see Mounting with Vandal Resistant Cover Accessory (see page16).
Surface Mount Box
The surface mount box (SMB) accessory is ideal for locations where cables cannot run inside the wall and must
instead be run through external conduits. The surface mount box allows you to mount the card reader projected
from the wall and provides a protected cavity where external cabling can be securely connected to the reader.

Pigtail Cables
TSL readers use a shielded 8-wire pigtail wiring loom with a Hirose socket plug for connection to the reader. A
standard 34cm cable is supplied with the reader, while a 3.5m long cable option is also available.

Ferrite Shield
A ferrite shield, also known as a noise suppression sheet, is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference and
may help to improve read range for readers mounted on a metal surface. The shield is placed between the reader
and the mounting surface to suppress interference caused by the reader's proximity to the metal surface.
The effectiveness of using a ferrite shield to improve read range is determined by many factors, including the
mounting surface material and installation environment, and may not necessarily produce the desired result.
Testing should be performed to assess effectiveness before planning installation on multiple readers.
Asurface mount box is recommended as the preferred solution for interference caused by metal mounting
surfaces. A surface mount box is generally more effective at reducing interference and improving read range as it
distances the reader from direct contact with the mounting surface, breaking the 'path of transfer'.
