When installing hardware, it is important you ensure there is adequate clearance around all sides of
the unit and that air flow to the vents is not restricted. We recommend installing the Controller and any
expansion devices in a location that allows easy access for wiring such as electrical rooms,
communication equipment rooms, closets, or in an accessible area of the ceiling.
Mount the Controller
The Controller is designed to be mounted on standard DIN Rail either in dedicated DIN cabinets or on generic
DIN Rail mounting strip. A section of DIN Rail strip is provided as a mounting option.
To mount the Controller:
1. Hook the lower tabs under the bottom edge of the DIN Rail.
2. Push the Controller against the DIN Rail mount until the upper tab clips over the upper rail.
To remove the Controller:
1. Insert a flat blade screwdriver into the hole in the tab at the top of the Controller.
2. Lever the tab up and rotate the unit off the DIN Rail mount.
