INSTALLING THE CONTROLLER
Select Location
The plastic, weatherproof cabinet of the ESP controller is suitable for mounting outdoors or indoors. For best
results, mount the controller at eye level in a sheltered location.
Allow approximately 7 1/2" of clearance to the left side of the controller so the controller door can swing fully
open. In addition, mount the controller so that 117-Volt AC power is readily accessible.
The ESP controller has three "keyhole" slots on the back of the cabinet. Use these slots to mount the controller
to a flat wall or vertical stud. Always use lower mounting hold "D" to secure the bottom of the controller.
Mount Controller
Œ
Open the controller door and swing the face panel out on its hinges from right to left.
•
Place the open controller on the mounting surface and mark through the
upper
slots of the keyholes. (Use
keyholes A and C for wall mounting. Use keyhole B for mounting on a stud.) Then mark the location of hole
D.
Ž
Remove the cabinet. Drive appropriate fasteners into the wall or stud at the upper keyhole marks (A, B, C).
Leave slightly more than 1/4" between the head of the fastener and the wall surface. Do
not
drive a fastener
into location D at this time.
•
Hang the controller on the upper keyhole slots. Make sure the shafts of the fasteners are in the upper, narrow
portion of the slots. Then drive a fastener through lower mounting hole D. The controller should now be se-
cure.
