1. Mount unit in the desired location. Mark and predrill holes in the wall to line up with the top two keyholes
in the enclosure. Install two upper fasteners and screws in the wall with the screw heads protruding. Place
the enclosure's upper keyholes over the two upper screws; level and secure. Mark the position of the lower
two holes. Remove the enclosure. Drill the lower holes and install two fasteners. Place the enclosure's upper
keyholes over the two upper screws. Install the two lower screws and make sure to tighten all screws
(Enclosure Dimensions, pg. 4).
2. Connect AC power to the black and white flying leads of the transformer. Secure green wire lead to earth
ground. Green "AC" LED on power supply board will turn on. This light can be seen through the LED lens
on the door of the enclosure. Use 18 AWG or larger for all power connections (Battery, AC input).
Use 22 AWG to 18 AWG for power-limited circuits (DC output, AC FAIL and LOW BAT supervisory relays).
