Basic Installation Procedures
Step 7: Mounting the Display Panel
The communications cable supplied with the display panel is 25 feet
(7.6 meters) long. If you want to replace the cable with one that is
shorter, use a high quality, six-wire telephone extension cable.
Flush mounting the panel on a wall or bulkhead requires an opening
that is approximately 3.25 × 1.25 inches (8.25 × 3.18 cm). About
1.5 inches (3.81 cm) of free space is required within the wall to
accommodate the depth of the panel. Be sure there is no wiring or
other obstructions within the wall before you make an opening.

To mount the display panel:
1.
Choose a location that is dry, out of direct sunlight, free from
corrosive or explosive fumes, and otherwise appropriate for
mounting an electronic device.
2.
Mark the mounting holes onto the mounting surface and the
area to be cut away using the display panel itself as a guide.
3.
Pilot-drill the mounting holes and cut out the hole in which the
panel will be inserted.
4.
Route the communications cable(s) inside the wall and through
the opening.
5.
Insert one of the cable's connectors in either jack on the bottom
of the panel.
6.
Place the panel in the opening and secure it with appropriate
fasteners.
7.
Route the communications cable to the Freedom Xi and insert
the connector in the jack located near the battery select dip
switch.
Important:
Do not route the communications cable in parallel and in
conduit with the AC and DC wires. In situations where the cable must cross
with the AC and DC wires, make sure they cross at a 90° angle to each
other.
