Installation Fig.3 Installation size (in:mm) Installation must comply with the local regulation! 1. Ensure the wall is dry, clean, flat and firm in which the controller is installed. 2. Chose a proper installation location to make sure the front door can be opened smoothly. 3. Mark the drillings for 4 installation holes on the wall. (Fig. 2-1) 4. Drill the holes, put expansion bolts in and insert the M6 screws. 5. Break the cable entries on the controller. 6. Hang the controller over those screws. 7.
