The cabinet is supplied predrilled with four keyholes suitable for mounting
screws of not more than 8mm shaft diameter and 11mm head diameter.
A drilling template is supplied with each unit. Refer Figure 11-2 and 11-3.
The cabinet has two knockouts in the back of the cabinet. One ø20mm

the slot in the gearplate. See Figures 11-2 and 11-3.

(from J3) and the 10-way loom from the LCD/keyboard (from
