Mains power should be connected to ACTpro Controllers by a licensed electrician in accordance with
local/national codes.

Mount the ACTpro Controller directly on to the wall with the supplied screws.
The keyed mounting hole should be screwed first to the wall to aid the mounting.
The unit should be installed in a ventilated area that allows for accessibility after installation.
