or bottom of the unit.

a. Remove the cover by prying the snap-catch loose on either the top

b. Mark the mounting holes on the surface by the dimensions shown
in figure 1 or directly from the backplane. Also mark the location of the center-wiring
hole.

c. Drill or punch the mounting holes and wire-entrance hole.

d. Mount the backplane to the mounting surface using the appropriate
user supplied hardware.

e. Refer to the electrical connections instructions before reinstalling
the cover.

C. Electrical Connections.

Units are provided with a nine-position screw terminal block to accommodate

may be via dry contact or transistor switching. Transistor switching may be PNP or
NPN type. Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram for instructions. Fusing is to be
supplied by the user.

To avoid electrical shock hazards, do not connect to the supply circuit when
power is applied.

1. Remove the cover as outlined above if necessary.

the printed circuit board. Feed wires to the terminal block.

2. Route wiring (18-22AWG, 300V) through the center-wiring hole under

3. Strip wires a maximum of 0.25” (6mm) and insert wire into terminal
block. If stranded wire is used, be sure that there are no loose strands outside the
connector that could touch an adjacent lead to cause a short circuit. Tighten the
terminal block screw to a maximum torque of 5 in-lb (.6Nm).

4. Connect wires according to the desired wiring scheme. Refer to attached
diagrams.

5. If LED module or switch re-configuration is necessary proceed to section
D. Otherwise, reinstall cover taking care not to pinch supply wiring.

D. LED Module Configuration and Volume Control.

The LED modules may be placed in any position on the printed circuit board.

A white LED module may be purchased separately. To re-configure the LED modules:
