Compliance Conforms to UL 294 Installation This section of the manual provides instructions for installing the ProdataKey Red Cloud Node (Ethernet+Wireless). Before you begin the installation, read the instructions thoroughly. Make sure you have read and understood the Safety Information.
Wire crimper/stripper Mounting Instructions Mount the Red Cloud Node (Ethernet+Wireless) at the door/device or as centrally located as possible. Install the Red Cloud Node (Ethernet+Wireless) in an environmentally controlled and secure area. These instructions allow you to easily fasten the box properly and securely to a wall surface. Prior to beginning, ensure you have the package contents, tools, and necessary materials for the installation on an appropriate surface (i.e., drywall, wood).
Use the Red Cloud Node (Ethernet+Wireless) box to mark the hole positions on the wall, and drill holes into the surface. If mounting onto drywall, insert the anchors into the holes to secure the screws to the surface. Align the enclosure’s holes to the holes in the wall surface and mount the controller box with the screws so the box is securely fastened to the wall.
Battery Maintenance, Replacement, & Disposal The Red Cloud Node (Ethernet+Wireless) features a battery charger and constantly monitors the battery’s health and statistics. Check the battery regularly and replace it only with an identical battery or a ProdataKey recommended battery.
