The SmartPAC PRO control enclosure and panel mount are larger than the control enclosure and
panel mount models of original SmartPAC and SmartPAC 2.
Before you start the process of upgrading to a SmartPAC PRO, make sure the mounting location has
enough space. See your SmartPAC PRO Installation Manual for the space required to install
SmartPAC PRO, either control enclosure or panel mount, including clearance required in front of or
behind the mounting surface:
•
Control enclosure: 18 in. (457 mm) clearance required in front of the mounting surface
•
Panel mount: 6 in. (152 mm) clearance required behind the mounting surface
NOTICE
If the existing installation location provides insufficient space, find another location for the
SmartPAC PRO. Follow the guidelines in your SmartPAC PRO Installation Manual.
