Swipe Clearance Notice

For top-mount placements, CCI strongly recommends mounting the front of the top-mount bracket 1-1/4 inches from the front of the machine, to allow for card swipe clearance.

Ensure the drilled hole aligns accordingly. Mounting the top-mount bracket any further back then 1-1/4inches from the front of the machine to the edge of the reader can potentially interfere with mounting the reader to the bracket and may prevent users from being able to swipe or insert a card into the reader due to lack of clearance.

Swipe Clearance Notice

CCI strongly recommends mounting a top mount solution 1

As stated above, only for top-mount solutions the front of the top-mount bracket 1-1/4 inches from the front of the machine, to allow for card swipe clearance.

Ensure the drilled hole aligns accordingly. Mounting the top-mount bracket any further back then 1

1/4 inches (1.25")

-1/4inches from the front of the machine to the edge of the reader can potentially interfere with mounting the reader to the bracket and may prevent users from being able to swipe or insert a card into the reader due to lack of clearance.

In a top-mount solution, the process differs slightly from a front or high-front mounting solution. Our C-6452 bracket would be used in this

application
