STI BPA4836 Aluminum Back Panel for Access Control Readers
Overview
The BPA4836 is an aluminum back panel engineered to mount and protect STI EN483612-W and EN483612-W2 access control readers in environments where moisture, temperature fluctuation, or UV exposure poses a risk to reader electronics. The EnviroArmour corrosion-resistant finish extends service life and eliminates the need for custom fabrication or field engineering of mounting surfaces. Deploy this when your EN483612 reader needs structural support and environmental isolation on a wet exterior wall, loading dock, or high-humidity interior space.
Compatibility
The BPA4836 is purpose-built for the STI EN483612-W and EN483612-W2 credential readers. It operates at 9VDC, aligning with standard access control system power architecture. Verify that your EN483612 reader is energized through an appropriate 9VDC power supply or integrated control panel before mounting. The aluminum construction is compatible with standard wall-mounting hardware and accepts the reader's pre-engineered mounting footprint without modification.
Installation Notes
Position the back panel over the mounting location and mark the fixing holes using the reader's mounting template. Drill using a 7mm masonry bit for concrete or block installations. Secure the panel with the provided wall fixings. For outdoor or high-moisture environments, position any included weather gaskets over the reader before securing the panel frame. Surface cable entry holes can be blanked off using the spacer inserts to prevent water ingress. Ensure all fasteners are tightened evenly to avoid panel warping.
