A gooseneck pedestal typically refers to a flexible, elevated mounting post for installing devices like access control readers, intercoms, keypads, or other control devices at a convenient height, generally for vehicle occupants. These are often found at gated entries, parking lots, or secure facility entrances where drivers must interact with the access control system without exiting their vehicles. The “gooseneck” term comes from its curved shape, which allows the mounted device to be positioned optimally for users. Gooseneck installation post for a card reader involves a few key steps to ensure proper placement and functionality:

INSTALLATION
- For ground gooseneck card reader installation, dig a hole for the device post base. The hole should be deep and wide enough to accommodate the base securely (typically about 2 feet deep).
- If mounting on a concrete pad, mark the drilling points for anchor bolts.
SETTING THE POST
- Basically, installing in the ground, place the gooseneck pedestal post in the hole and fill it with concrete. Ensure the post is level and straight before the concrete sets.
- If mounting on a concrete pad, drill holes at the marked points and insert anchor bolts. Attach the gooseneck pedestal for card reader post to the bolts and secure it tightly.

MOUNTING THE ACCESS CONTROL DEVICE
- Attach the access control device to the gooseneck installation post using the provided mounting hardware. Make sure the device is at a suitable height for users.
- Additionally, run wiring from the device to the access control system’s central unit. Use protective conduits to shield wires from environmental damage.
POWER AND CONNECTIVITY
- Connect the access control device to the power supply and network (if required). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for wiring and connectivity.
- Besides, test the power connection to ensure the device is operational.
