The DAS uses a metal enclosure that is approximately 9.25 in x 8 in x 2 in deep. The Enclosure has a tab
on the bottom that requires 2.5 in clearance. Two 1.2 in holes are provided in the bottom of the DAS for
wiring purposes.

The DAS has 4 mounting holes for use with a #6 or #8 screw. The drawing above shows the relative
position of the mounting holes.
