wiring the unit.
7. Insert plastic cable entry blanking plugs (provided) into the
back of the unit to blank any unused cable entry channels
(

8. Place the unit onto the mounting plate and move the unit
down about 0.3 in. (8 mm) to lock in place.
9. Tighten the locking screw at the base of the unit until firm.
This will also ensure that the tamper switch (
