MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAR250

Location: Select a convienent location near your device to be
controlled by the STAR250. For best performance, the STAR250
should be mounted in “Line-Of-Sight” with your intended
transmitting location. Avoid mounting the STAR250 in or on
metallic enclosures. If this is unavoidable, we recommend
installing the antenna extension kit (86LM) for best results. See
Remote Antenna Mounting for proper installation.

Receiver Mounting: Mount Backplate to desired surface using #6
hardware (Not provided). Hardware used will depend on on
mounting application. (Refer to figure 1 for Receiver mounting
hole locations). Wire electrical connections to unit. Snap Unit to
Back Plate.

Direct Antenna Mounting: Install the supplied antenna onto the
STAR250 antenna connector by screwing the connector
clockwise. Slide the seal boot down to meet the O-Ring, covering
the antenna hardware.

Remote Antenna Mounting: Use the optional 86LM antenna

extension kit to mount the remote antenna as high and far from
metal as possible for best radio range (Figure 2). Contact
