SAFR SCAN can be mounted to the wall in one of two ways. Flat mount is for situations where the SAFR SCAN reader is mounted to a wall that is parallel to the plane of the door. Wedge mount is useful when the SAFR SCAN reader is mounted to a wall that is perpendicular to the plane of the door. Each method is described below.
SAFR SCAN is mounted to a standard 4” junction box. The Junction box is first secured to the wall. With junction box mounted, follow instructions below to mount SAFR SCAN to the junction box.
For Wedge Mount, the SAFR SCAN Wedge Mount is mounted to a standard 4” junction box. The Junction box is first secured to the wall. With junction box mounted, follow instructions below to mount SAFR SCAN to the junction box.
Note that only four of the Wedge Mount threaded screws are required to secure the SAFR SCAN Mounting bracket to the Wedge Mount.
The assembled wedge mount should look like the following.
Use of an outdoor waterproof junction box with an IP65 rating or greater is required for outdoor installations. Mounting gaskets included with the SAFR SCAN mounting bracket are supplied and must be used for the bracket to SAFR SCAN housing and bracket to junction box. Proper torque must be applied to junction box screws to ensure a tight seal. Over tightening of the mounting bracket to junction box screws may lead to deformation of the bracket which will compromise the seal.
Outdoor installation requirements:

The T1 and T2 terminal blocks are shown without the terminal blocks to reveal the OSDP Termination Switch which is located under the T1 terminal block. To remove the terminal blocks, pry gently upwards with your fingers or needle nose plyers. The terminal blocks require a 2mm flathead screwdriver to loosen or tighten the screws that hold in the wires.
The OSDP Termination switch allows SAFR SCAN to be installed on a daisy chain bus without the need for adding external RS485 EOL termination resistor. Setting the switch to the on (up) position will insert the resistor in the circuit. This is required for the last SAFR SCAN on the bus or for a single SAFR SCAN installed on a long wire run. Setting the switch to off (down) will remove the RS485 EOL termination resistor from the circuit. The factory default setting is off.
Previous generation housing

To open a door, you need to connect SAFR SCAN to a PAC panel or use the Relay to release a door latch. This requires both physically connecting the SAFR SCAN device to a PAC panel as well as configuring the SAFR SCAN software to take advantage of the new connection.
Note that SAFR SCAN supports both Wiegand and OSDP connection types. SAFR SCAN also includes a low voltage relay to operate door hardware directly.
Figure below shows the T1 and T2 terminal blocks on the rear of the SAFR SCAN reader. The T1 terminal block includes Wiegand in and Wiegand out terminals as well as a relay with Normal Open and Normally Closed connections. The T2 terminal block (Right) includes OSDP in and OSDP out terminals as well as TTL connections.
The diagram depicts either a Wiegand configuration (left) or an OSDP configuration (right) with SAFR SCAN taking input from an external card reader and providing output to the PAC Panel.
ALWAYS include ground wire with connectivity to panel ground. (Unlike card or PIN-only readers, scan is not powered from panel and thus requires a shared ground with panel or Wiegand/OSDP signals may not be interpreted correctly).
Device should be grounded through earth ground to avoid issues arising from static electricity.
Device must be shielded from strong continuous sunlight to avoid damage to display.
Tools Needed
For all connections, do the following:
Wire SAFR SCAN to PAC Panel as follows:
Wiegand Connections |
OSDP Connections |

When installing SAFR SCAN to a panel with OSDP, the termination switch should be set to enabled (up position) for the last reader on the bus. By default, the switch is disabled (down position) and suitable for a single reader connected to the panel. When installing multiple readers in daisy chain configuration, the termination switch should be disabled (down) for all readers except the reader furthest from the panel.
The square hooks on the top of the mounting bracket should be placed into the two square openings on the top of the SAFR SCAN housing first. Then the lower two openings placed onto the threaded tabs on the bottom of the mounting bracket as shown in the image on the left.
Holding the SAFR SCAN to the mounting bracket, push SAFR SCAN up and attached using the 2mm screws on the underside of the SAFR SCAN body as shown on right.
Attached SCAN to Mounting Bracket |
Secure SCAN to Mounting Bracket |
For security reasons, SAFR SCAN has Wiegand, OSDP, or Relay disabled by default. To enable these, open SAFR SCAN Web Console and do the following from the System configuration page.
Now SAFR SCAN should be sending signal to panel to unlock door or close relay when a face matching a person record with suitable Access Clearance is presented.
