It is important that you
verify the parts listed
in
Appendix 5 beginning on page 172.
Location
Begin by selecting a sheltered, vertical surface and effective location for wiring and access. The control should be
mounted in an area where there is at least
2
inches of space surrounding it, clear from electrical items, with the wire
routing holes facing down.
(This protects the control from water or debris.)
Mounting the control
Mounting brackets for the Ventra Pro
TM
are enclosed
with the unit.
Before you drill holes into the enclosure, mark their
locations and make sure that you DO NOT drill into
circuit boards and cables.
1. Attach the
mounting clips with the 1/4-10 x 0.5”
screws
, included in the hardware kit shipped with
the control.
2. Draw a level line on the wall where the control
should be mounted.
3. Hold the control enclosure backside to the wall
and align the top or bottom of the enclosure to
the line drawn and use the mounting bracket
holes to mark the wall where the holes should
be drilled.
4. Drill pilot holes and use appropriate TEK screws
to mount the control.
Warning:
Do not overtighten screws.
Unless absolutely necessary, do not remove the
circuit boards. They are static sensitive and should
always be handled with appropriate grounding and
electrostatic precautions.
Mount the controller indoors where the temperature remains between 30 degrees Fahrenheit (- 1 degree Celsius)
and 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius). DO NOT mount the controller in direct sunlight. Place the controller
away from motors and relays/contactors that switch high current. It is
NOT RECOMMENDED
that you install the
control in the same room where the animals live since the air tends to be corrosive to electronic circuits. A separate
room or control office is a preferred location.
