downward angle into Slot 2 and twist (the left side pops
up). Insert the screwdriver blade at into right side
narrow Slot 3 and twist.
2. Route the wiring from the control panel through the
opening in the case back. (See the control panel's
instructions for proper wire run lengths.)
3. Mount the case back directly to a wall or electrical gang box.
4. Connect the power and data wires from the control panel
