Mounting the Controller
Though the NLC is designed to resist both rain and direct sun light, you
should place it in a friendlier environment if possible. Installing the NLC
inside a utility room or a shed is the perfect solution, but if this is not
possible, try to place it somewhere dry and out of sight.
Furthermore, make sure that you place the controller in a location that
meets these requirements:
• The controller must have access to 120 VAC.
• You must be able to connect all cables to the controller at the
location.
• To minimize electromagnetic interference, make sure that the
controller is placed at least 15 feet away from any high ‐ draw motors
like air conditioners, refrigerators, pool pumps etc.
Once you've designated a suitable location for the controller, you're ready
to mount it on the wall ‐ or whatever vertical surface you have chosen.
Here's what you are going to need in order to mount the controller
properly:
• A screw driver that matches the above screws.
• A pen or a marker to mark up where to put the screws.
• If you're mounting the controller on a concrete wall you will need
an electric drill.
Before you start mounting the controller you should remove the lower
front plate inside the controller cabinet.
