STI BPF1008 EnviroArmour Fiberglass Back Panel
Overview
The STI BPF1008 is a 10-inch by 8-inch fiberglass back panel designed to shield access control readers, strike assemblies, and interconnect cabling from moisture, UV exposure, and corrosive environments. EnviroArmour fiberglass construction provides weatherproof sealing — critical in outdoor door-frame and building-facade mounting scenarios where water ingress or salt spray degrades electronics and wiring. This accessory solves the durability problem in exposed installations where reader hardware and cabling would otherwise corrode or fail within months of weather cycling.
Compatibility
The BPF1008 integrates with STI access control systems operating at 9VDC, including door-mounted and frame-mounted reader assemblies and strike hardware. This panel mounts behind reader devices to create a weatherproof enclosure; confirm your specific reader and strike model with STI documentation before ordering, as mounting hole spacing and cable entry ports vary by device family.
Installation Notes
The back panel mounts with four 7mm masonry anchors (drill bit size specified in manufacturer guidance) suitable for concrete, masonry, or composite surfaces. Surface installations require cable gasket selection to match your wiring system — unused cable entry holes should be sealed with provided inserts to maintain weatherproof integrity. For outdoor wall-mounted or door-frame installations, position the gasket between the wall and panel frame, then secure with fixing screws. Ensure all screw penetrations are sealed to prevent water creep behind the panel.
