access to the unit’s keypad. Select a mounting surface strong enough
to support the weight of the unit and protect it from excessive
vibration or shock. DO NOT mount the bracket in a location where
the unit is exposed to extreme temperature conditions. When
installing the mounting bracket, be sure to allow room for the
connection and routing of the power cable.

three #8 pan-head machine bolts with matching nuts and washers,
and a 5/32" drill bit, OR three #8 pan head self-tapping screws, and
