The Delta-T Pro should be mounted on a wall indoors, away from weather 
and interference. Using the mounting holes on the back of the box, securely 
install 3 screws into mounting plane leaving 1/4” between the wall and the 
back of the bolt head; place control back upon screws and slide down to 
secure box tightly into screw pattern.  A screw template is provided with 
this manual on page 21.

An ideal installation location is:

• 

About 5 ft. (1.5m) off the finished floor

• 

Away from equipment and other sources of electrical interference

• 

Out of direct sun; in a cool dry location
