 MOUNTING INSTRUC-

TIONS

Open the latch and open the cover. Remove 

the black caps located on each of the four 

mounting holes.  Mount the enclosure on 

the wall using four screws.  Be sure the 

electrical knockouts are at the bottom of 

the enclosure in order to prevent water from 

entering the controller. Insert the screws in 

the mounting holes and tighten.  Fasten the 

four black caps provided with the controller 

onto the four mounting holes. The enclosure 

must be mounted in a location that will allow 

the cover to be completely opened right up 

against the wall.

3.1. Connection

To connect the controller, refer to the wiring 

diagram  enclosed  with  this  user's  manual.  

Use the electrical knockouts provided at the 

bottom of the enclosure.  Do not make ad-

ditional holes in the enclosure, particularly 

on the side of the enclosure when using a 

computer communications module.

 
All wiring must be done by an autho-
rized  electrician and must comply with 
applicable codes, laws and regulations. 
Be sure power is off before doing any 
wiring to avoid electrical shocks and 
equipment damage.

 Alarm — 

There are two types of alarms on 

the market.  One type activates when cur-

rent is cut off at its input, whereas the other 

activates when current is supplied at its 

input.  For an alarm of the first type, use the 

NC terminal as shown on the  wiring diagram.  

For an alarm of the second type, use the NO 

terminal.

  LCD Display —

 The LCD screen gives the 

current readings and displays the param-

eters when you select a function. When the 

parameters for a given function cannot all be 

presented at once on the display, arrows are 

displayed on the right hand side to indicate 

that additional parameters can be displayed 

using the arrow keys. After 5 minutes of in-

activity, the display returns to the CURRENT 

CONDITIONS display.
