Installation

This section provides information on how to install the ESP-SMT Controller.

Installing The Controller

Select Location

Select a location that has a flat, stable surface in an area
protected from vandalism.
Using the mounting template, mount the controller at
A
eye level and allow at least 11" of horizontal clearance
so the hinged cabinet door can swing fully open to
the left.
Allow enough clearance for electrical conduit and
B
connections at the bottom of the plastic cabinet.
Select a location that has access to 120 VAC electrical
C
power. It is best to run a dedicated circuit for the controller;
one that cannot be turned off by a light switch.
!
NOTE: Select a location that allows the
communication wire (a pair of #16 AWG or #18AWG
UV rated wire maximum distance 200 feet) to be easily
run from the ESP-SMT controller to the SMT Weather
Sensor.
!
NOTE: The ESP-SMT controller must be installed in
compliance with local electrical codes. Indoor models
must be installed indoors only. Outdoor models (with
locking cabinets) may be installed either indoors or
outdoors.
