Mounting the panel
Mount the panel to the wall or wall studs.
Caution: Make sure you are free of static electricity whenever you work on the
panel with the cover open. To discharge any static, first touch the metal panel
chassis, and then stay in contact with the chassis when touching the circuit
board. We recommend using a grounding strap.
To mount the panel:
1. Remove the panel door and remove the necessary wiring knockouts. Be
careful not to damage the circuit board.
2. Feed all wires through wiring knockouts and place the panel in position
against the wall.
3. Level the panel and mark the top and bottom mounting holes (see Figure 2 on
page 11).
4. Install anchors where studs are not present.
