E. Punch out any one of the wiring knockouts shown in Figure 5.
F. Hold the base against the wall at the selected installation
location and mark the points for drilling.
G. Drill the holes and insert the plastic dowels supplied (if
necessary).
Do not install behind partitions H. Pass the wires through the wiring inlets into the base and
attach the base to the wall using the screws supplied.
I. Return the PCB to its place: align the ”keyhole” with the head
of the vertical adjustment screw, press the PCB against the
base, slide the PCB up and temporarily tighten the screw.
J. Proceed to wire the terminal block as instructed in Para. 3.5.
3.3 Mounting with Swivel Bracket
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3.
3.2 Mounting without Swivel Bracket B. Remove the PCB (see Figure 4) and put it temporarily aside.
A. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 3. C. Punch out the large knockout in the round bulge at the top
part of the base (see Figure 6)
