Installing the F3D100 Reader
How to install the alocity F3D100 Reader
Pre-Installation Guidelines & Positioning Requirements
Before mounting the device, verify that the installation path adheres to standard height
regulations and ambient environment considerations:
-
Standard Mounting Height: The Alocity F3D100 Reader must be installed on a level surface with the height of the device positioned exactly 54” from the finished floor. This standardized placement ensures an optimal field-of-view tracking height for the 3D Face Recognition engine and remains ADA compliant.
-
Sun Positioning & Exposure Considerations: Because the F3D100 features an intelligent camera array used for facial recognition and cloud video recording, ambient light distribution is critical to system accuracy.
Please Consider the following:
-
Avoid Direct Backlighting: Do not install the reader directly opposite intensive, direct sunlight sources or reflective glass panes where strong backlighting migh silhouette user faces.
-
Overhead Protection: For external exposures experiencing intense afternoon or morning sun angles, utilize a protective overhang or position the reader to face away from raw, blinding solar exposure to maximize the performance of the optical capture sensors.
