Installation guidelines
Use the following installation guidelines:
• Mount transmitters as close as possible to the touchpad.
For best results, we recommend the distance between the
transmitter and the touchpad be less than 100 ft. (30.5 m).
• Mount the touchpads in an environmentally controlled area
with a temperature range from 32 to 120°F (0° to 49°C).
• When mounting the touchpad, allow at least 3 in. (7.6 cm)
below the touchpad for the swing-down door (Figure 1).
