Mount the Wall Cabinet, Wire the PIP

STEPS

Mounting the Wall Cabinet

Mounting hardware should be sufficient to hang a 25 pound (11.34 kg) load. Wall 
space required to fully open the cabinet door is twice the width of the cabinet, or 
26 inches.

The door opens from right to left as you face the cabinet. It is recommended that 
the cabinet be mounted in a location where the door can be fully opened.

1. Mount the two keyholes near the top of the cabinet.

2. Drill the lower hole, using the cabinet as a template.

Wiring the Supplied PIP

The PIP must be powered with 100-240VAC, 50-60 Hz.

1. Attach the black (ground) wire to the negative pin (pin 4) on the PIP, and 

the red, positive wire to the positive pin (pin 1) on the PIP.

2. Pull the wiring through a knockout in the cabinet.

3. Connect the black (ground) wire to the left side of the junction block, and 

the positive (red) wire to the right side of the junction block.

Connect the PIP or a DC Power Source

STEPS

WARNING:

Observe static electricity precautions when handling and installing 
system components, which can be damaged by static discharge.

Connecting the PIP (or a DC power source) to the system

Power must come from a 

separate circuit

 with an isolated earth ground. If DC 

power is provided directly to the junction block, it must have 12VDC at a minimum 
of 3 Amps.

1. Ensure the DC power source is off, then pull the wiring through a knockout 

in the cabinet.

2. Connect the ground (black) wire to the left side of the junction block, and 

connect the red wire to the right side of the junction block.

Important:

Do not apply power to the system until all connections have been made for 
readers, inputs, outputs, and temperature sensors.
