Introduction
The ME-14 is a simple plastic enclosure suited for a singular PCB and
Rosslare’s BT-16 backup battery. The ME-14 boasts two tamper triggers,
one for the back case detecting wall detachment and one for the casing
itself detecting attempts to open the encasement.
The enclosure is suitable for any one of Rosslare’s ExpansE units, EXP-
1032 Network Controller known as an MU, and the various EUs: EXP-
2024 Dual Reader Door Unit, EXP-2016 16-Relay Elevator Control Unit,
EXP-2088 – 8-Input/Output Interface, as well as Rosslare’s MD-W11

Using the holes dimensions and locations shown in Figure 2, drill
holes in the wall. Alternatively, use the ME-14’s back plate as a
template.
2.
Insert masonry anchors into the drilled holes.
3.
Mount the PCB into the designated area; align the PCB holes with
those of the encasement.
