circuit boards or wear a grounding strap.

3. Mount the back cover to a ceiling, wall, or corner. For wall
mounting, make sure the "up" arrow is pointing up. Use the
appropriate mounting knockouts. See Figure 3.
4. Snap the circuit board assembly onto the back cover by
aligning the lower edge of the board with the circuit board
guides and pressing it into place. See Figure 1.
Note
To correctly mount the Pet Alley Mask, the lens
must be removed from the front cover and rotated
180 degrees. See Figure 5.

The masking plates have two notches to prevent
incorrect installation. One notch matches a rib in
the front cover. The other notch matches a dimple
in the lens. See Figure 4.

8. After walk testing, the LED cover can be used to cover
the LED. See Figure 1.
Wiring
Strip back the outer jacket on the wiring cable. This will
allow wires to flex in the case. Use the cable strain relief
built into the back cover to prevent stressing wires at
their connection. See Figure 1.
