Hunter A2C-WIFI Installation Manual

A2C-WIFI
Wi-Fi Networking Module for
Hunter ACC2 Controllers
INSTALLATION
1. Turn off the controller power.
2. Tilt and remove the facepack to access the bottom of the
facepack.
3. Remove the dust cover or prior module from the controller
facepack. Press the spring-loaded button and pull
downward to remove.
4. Insert the new A2C-WIFI module until the lock clicks.
WI-FI CONNECTION
1. Screw the included antenna's connector to the threaded,
gold-colored antenna connection. Hand-tighten only.
2. Route the antenna cable through the cable channel on the
back of the facepack.
3. Install the plastic antenna holder in one of the unused
conduit holes on the bottom of the controller.
4. The antenna must be mounted outside of the metal
enclosures with the included housing. Secure the antenna
holder with the included plastic nut.
5. Leave enough slack in the antenna cable to allow the door
to open and close without getting pinched.
You may need to elevate the antenna in conduit (use
Hunter model WIFIEXTKIT) to get a better signal. Do
not allow any metallic portion of the antenna cable to
touch metal or earth ground with the power on.
6. Turn on the controller power. After the controller reboots,
the networking icon should appear on the bottom of the
Home screen. The status icon will remain red until the
module is connected in the software.
