Removing the Controller's Faceplate
In order to mount the controller, you must first remove the faceplate. To do so:
1. Remove the controller cabinet door from its two hinges by opening the door then
holding the bottom of the door and sliding up.
2. Pull out gently on the two white plastic snap latches on the right side of the face-
plate, then swing the panel open.
3. Disconnect the two-wire harness from the terminal board by pressing the latch away
from the connector and pulling the connector away from the terminal board. Discon-
nect the wide gray ribbon cable by grasping the wide sides of the connector and
gently pulling the connector away from the terminal board.
4. Remove the faceplate from its hinges by pushing up gently on the panel until the
lower hinge comes up out of its hole. Slide the faceplate down and away to clear
the upper hinge from its hole. Set the faceplate aside.
5. Remove the white foam block from inside the controller. Remove the 9-volt battery
from the foam block.

Note: The mounting materials and specific screws you need will vary according to the
kind of mounting surface (i.e. wood, cement, masonry, drywall, etc.).
