2. Drill holes into the wall and insert anchors.
Note: The mounting method must be able to
support 23.5 kg (52 lbs).
3. Secure the mounting bracket to the controller
using the four screws provided.
4. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall. The
preferred orientations for the controller are with
the fan on the bottom or on the left side. It is
acceptable to mount the controller with the fan
on the right side.
CAUTION: Do not mount the controller
with the fan on top as shown in Figure 2.

Connecting Antennas
Currently you can only connect Ultra*Post Plus-
compatible antennas to the AMS-9030 controller.
The controller contains some connectors reserved
for future antennas. The table below shows where
you connect the cables. Figure 5 shows the
locations of the connectors.

Rules
The controller has two transmit channels (A and B)
and two receive channels (A and B). Observe the
following rules when connecting antennas to these
channels.
• The controller cannot transmit simultaneously
on both the A and B channels. It can transmit
on only the A or B channel or alternately on
both.
• The controller receives on both the A and B
channels simultaneously, even if it is only
transmitting on one channel.
• Pulling jumpers P25-P28 enables connectors
P22 and P23 as receive only and configures
P13 and P16 as transmit only. Jumpers P25
and P26 control the reception of the Antenna A
connector (P13 and P22) and jumpers P27 and
P28 control the reception of the Antenna B
connectors (P16 and P23).
• Before removing the knockouts in the controller
for the antenna cables, unscrew the knockout
plate from the controller to avoid bending the
tabs on the plate.
CAUTION: Bridging alarm signals
between two Comm ports (P15 and P18
or P14 and P17) will damage the
controller. This was done on some
Ultra*Post Plus controllers when an
antenna without a built-in alarm (for
example, Rangers) was used. Instead,
use the configurator to cause alarms on
one channel to activate the alarm on the
other channel.
