Note

Swipe Clearance Notice

For Top Mount solutions, in the event that re-drilling is required for space, CCI strongly recommends mounting a top mount solution 1-1/4 inches from the front of the machine to the edge of the reader to allow for card swipe clearance.

Mounting the top-mount bracket any further back then 1-1/4 inches 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.

Top-mounted installs are designed for machines in which eye level may be well above where the top of the machine rests, such as top-load washers and dryers. The install process differs slightly from a front or high-front mounting solution.

The first four (4) steps highlight an existing F1 top-mount install location that meets the aforementioned clearance requirement. If re-drilling was required based on the clearance requirement, you may skip to step 5 in this guide.
