STI BPA1614 EnviroArmour Aluminum Back Panel 16x14

STI BPA1614 EnviroArmour Aluminum Back Panel

Overview

The BPA1614 is a 16" × 14" aluminum mounting panel built into STI's EnviroArmour® product family. This accessory provides a corrosion-resistant backing surface for access control installations where environmental durability matters — outdoor gates, loading docks, coastal facilities, or any high-moisture environment where standard steel or plastic backing would rust or degrade. The panel operates at 9VDC and integrates with STI reader and strike assemblies to create a unified, weatherproof credential verification point.

Compatibility

The BPA1614 works with STI EnviroArmour® reader systems and access control architectures that use 9VDC supply voltage. It serves as a backing component for reader installations, credential management interfaces, and strike mechanisms. Verify your specific reader model against STI's compatibility matrix before ordering — the panel is a passive mounting surface and requires a compatible reader head and strike assembly to function.

Installation Notes

Mount the BPA1614 to wall surfaces using the four fixing holes sized for standard masonry anchors (7mm drill bit recommended for concrete or block installations). The aluminum construction resists corrosion in damp or salt-air environments but requires secure fastening to prevent vibration or movement that could interfere with reader alignment. Ensure 9VDC power is routed to the connected reader and strike assembly according to STI wiring diagrams — the panel itself is passive but must be mechanically stable to maintain electrical contact integrity with mounted devices.
