Although two holes are provided in the unit that would permit mounting directly to a surface (holes
"A" in Diagram 2), it is recommended that the mounting plate be used, as described below, for
ease in removing the unit for servicing should it become necessary.
Before mounting the transmitter permanently, conduct Go/No Go tests (see control’s instructions)
to verify adequate signal strength and reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary. When a
satisfactory location is found, remove the battery and proceed with installation.

WIRING CONNECTIONS
With the battery still not inserted, connect the loop wiring to the unit’s terminals (see Diagram 2).
Note: If a contact loop is not to be used, no connection is needed across its terminals.

BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the transmitter’s cover (if not already off) as described in Mounting Step 1.
2. Observe correct polarity and insert the battery provided into the battery holder (see
Diagram 2). Take care not to bend the antenna.
Note: Replace battery only with: Duracelll DL123A, Sanyo CR123A,
Panasonic CR123A, ADEMCO 466, or Varta CR123A.
CAUTION: Risk of fire, explosion, and burns. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above
212°F (100°C), or incinerate. Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away
from children.
3. To replace the cover, engage the hooks along one edge and snap shut.
