    SECTION 2 | Installation 2.0 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES EVO-RC-PLUS is provided with 10M/33ft, RJ-45 data cable (straight wired). Check the proposed routing distance of the wire and use longer wire, if necessary. • Flush mounting of the Remote requires appropriate cut-out in the wall/panel - See Fig 2.1. Full scale installation Template for panel cut-out and pilot holes for mounting screws is also provided along with the unit.
  • Page 7 SECTION 2 | Installation 1. Cut an opening in the wall using the supplied Installation Template (based on Fig 2.1). 2. Drill four pilot holes (use 2mm / 5/64" diameter drill bit) for 4 screw (Self Taping, Flat Head No. 6 x 5/8" long) that will attach the remote to the wall (refer to Fig. 2.1 for hole loca- tions and dimensions).
