A. Yes (one of Secura Key s biggest selling points). The units have no slot, and no openings on the top, front or sides, and are frequently mounted on building exteriors or posts in parking lots with no protection. Proper installation is required the reader mounting plate needs to be properly sealed to the mounting surface (Dow Corning RTV Silicone Sealant is recommended). SA Series products are also capable of withstanding extreme temperatures from -40 to +70 C (-40 to 158F). The Lexan Surface Mount enclosure is best for exterior use. The Metal Housing and Flush Mount Housings are also suitable for exterior use, but we do not recommend them for direct exposure to heavy rainfall.
