Install Controller
Now is a good time to make a note of your Cyber-Rain XCI controller serial number (14-digit number located on the back of the controller):

1. Mount the Controller
Mount the controller on the wall with two #10 screws (included) mounted 6” apart (using the included template). If the controller will be mounted to
hollow drywall, it is recommended that drywall anchors (included) are used to secure the mounting screws in place. Proper insertion of the drywall
anchors requires carefully drilling a hole at each location with a ¼” drill bit (available at your local hardware store), and pushing one anchor into each
hole. For outdoor applications, mount the controller in a plastic weatherproof box* (available from most Cyber-Rain authorized resellers or directly from
the Cyber-Rain website). In climates that experience exceptionally hot summers, the controller should be mounted in a shaded area as to avoid extreme
operating temperatures.
* Please note: Cyber-Rain XCI is designed to be installed indoors (e.g., your garage, laundry room, other indoor access area). If you wish to install the unit
outdoors, please order an outdoor box from Cyber-Rain or otherwise install the unit in a weatherproof box that is not made of metal.
