Mounting the controller
You can mount the AMS-9080 Controller to the following locations:
 On a shelf
 On a wall
 To a ceiling
Note: For ceiling mounts, secure plywood with a surface larger than the controller to the ceiling studs
that hold the drywall. Attach the controller with suitable hardware for the plywood.
To mount the controller, complete the following steps:
CAUTION: To facilitate the detachment of controller electronics, you must keep 22.9 centimetres or 9 inches
of free space to the right of the controller for screwdriver access.
1. Remove the top cover from the controller.
2. Remove the knockouts closest to the connectors that you are going to use.
3. Set the controller on a shelf, or use suitable anchors and hardware to mount it to a wall or ceiling.
Note: If only ceiling studs are located above the ceiling, you must attach plywood to the ceiling. Then
attach the controller to the plywood with suitable hardware.
WARNING: Both the anchor system and the wall or ceiling must be able to support 9.56 kilograms or
21.08 pounds, or four times the weight of the controller assembly.
4. Run the cables from the antennas and devices through the appropriate knockouts, and secure them using
the cable clamps provided.
