STI BPP0606 Polycarbonate Protective Back Panel
The STI BPP0606 is a 6x6 inch polycarbonate back panel designed to protect access control readers, keypads, and integrated hardware from weather, impact, and tampering. The EnviroArmour polycarbonate construction handles outdoor UV exposure and temperature swings without degrading, making it suitable for perimeter entrances, loading docks, and high-traffic zones where equipment faces direct rain, dust, and intentional abuse. Operates at 9VDC, compatible with standard access control power supplies.
Compatibility
The BPP0606 pairs with STI access control components and reader assemblies requiring protective mounting and backing — specifically designed for surface-mount installations where environmental protection and structural rigidity are prerequisites. The 6x6 form factor accommodates standard keypad and reader assemblies in the STI product ecosystem. Verify your specific reader or keypad model against STI compatibility documentation before ordering; this panel serves as a universal backing surface for components that require weather protection and tamper resistance.
Installation Notes
Mount using the four fixing holes drilled into masonry or metal stud framing with 7mm masonry drill bits (per STI installation guidance). Secure with the provided wall fixings. For surface installations, install weather gaskets around cable entry holes to prevent water ingress at termination points. Select the appropriate cable gasket for your wiring system — this step prevents moisture accumulation behind the panel, which can corrode contacts and shorten component lifespan. Position the panel centrally over the device to be protected before marking and drilling.
