BACKUP DC POWER INLET CONNECTOR MOUNTING INFORMATION
This appliance is factory equipped with a Backup DC Power Connec-
tion Port. The Inlet Port is factory mounted on the left side directly be-
neath the Master On/Off switch. This Port can be moved to two con-
venient locations if installing a Basix Surround or Faceplate that has a
¾” outer edge return and to one convenient location if installing a
Basix Surround or Faceplate that has a flat outer edge.
Both ¾” outer edge return type and flat outer edge type Basix Sur-
round and Faceplate have two symmetric knock-outs located 2-1/4” to
the left of the left inner mounting flange, as shown below. On the ¾”
outer edge return type Basix Surround and Faceplate, an additional
pair or knockouts are available on the left outer edge return near floor
level.
Selecting the Backup DC Power Inlet Port Location
Consult with the Homeowner and determine the appropriate mounting
location for the Backup DC Power Inlet Port. It is important to consider
that convenient access during a power outage, when it may be dark, to
the Backup DC Power Inlet port is more important than aesthetic appeal at other times. Mendota recommends
that you move the Backup DC Power Inlet Port to the front face or the left edge return and instruct the homeowner
how to connect the Backup Battery Pack.
