Installation Step 1 – Mount your AM-1S Position the AM-1S near the products that you plan to wire to the AM-1S under your layout. Use at least 2 screws and mount the AM-1S. If only using two screws, be sure the screws are located in opposite corners. The red arrows in figure 1 below identify mounting holes. - Page 4 Step 2 – Connect the Power Be sure the power supply you are going to connect to the AM-1S is turned off. Then connect power supply to the “Power In” terminals labeled ‘P1’ and ‘P2’ with 16-gauge wire. Only connect a Ring Engineering approved power supply to the proper power input connections such as the PWR-56.

Adjustments Name The reason to give your AM-1S a name is so you can tell it apart from another AM-1S. If you had two or more AM-1S’s and did not name them, it would be difficult to tell which one you are going to control when you touch the picture of a AM-1S on your controlling device. -
