1.0 Installation
The Guardian® G-2 CS features an 18-gauge stainless
steel enclosure that provides enhanced protection against
washdown environments and high humidity. Standard
features also include a bottom plate, mounting plate for
the printer, power supply, and cables. Use the diagram
on page 4 to help guide you through the installation
instructions.
1.1 Open Guardian G-2 CS Cover
To open the Guardian G-2 CS cover, release the four
butterfly latches located at the bottom four corners of
the enclosure. Push down on the enclosure to fully
open the latches. Then lift the cover away from the
base.
1.3 Remove the Cable Sealing Plate
Remove the four bolts that hold the cable sealing plate
in place. Pull the cable sealing plate away from the
base. Route the printer data transmission cord, power
supply cord, and options power cord through the base
opening and the four cable mounts. Loop cable ties
through the mounts to secure the cords in place.
Notes:
• The options power cord is only provided if you are
installing an option.
• Excess Eltron printer power cord is coiled and
stored under mount plate. Excess Datamax
power cord is tightly wound and attached to extra
adhesive cable mount.
1.2 Install the Power Unit Supply
Loosen the three nuts on the power supply bracket and
slide the power supply unit underneath the brackets as
shown below. Tighten the three nuts to secure the
power supply.
1.4 Set the Printer into Enclosure
Place the printer onto the mounting base of the
enclosure. If you are installing the Datamax printer, its
footpads fit into the recessed holes in the base of the
enclosure. Attach the necessary cables and power cord
to the printer.
Place the cable sealing plate back in its original location.
The cords should be between the base gasket and the
cable sealing plate. Reinstall the screws in the cable
sealing plate and tighten snugly so the base gasket
compresses around the cables.

wire jumper to the ground stud located next to the
printer power switch. Be sure the wires are securely
positioned between the two stud nuts. Attach the other
end of the six-inch green and yellow ground jumper
wire to the upper right connection of the terminal
block. Route the blue and brown wires from the options
