Wall Mounting

The physical orientation of the control panel module is important when you are programming and operating the buttons. Buttons 1 and 5 (figure 2-5) are on top when the CTL208 is right-side up. Orient the CTL208 so that the text on the rear of the unit is right-side up to determine the top of the module.

2.If not already accomplished, attach the power and serial cables to the rear of the control panel module. Power on the control panel module now if the external power supply cannot be accessed once the module is mounted.

3.Mount the CPM101 or other mini-AAP panel (with the attached control panel module) to the wall box or mounting bracket using the two included mounting screws (figure 2-6).

Figure 2-6 shows a wall box installation. Mounting the mini-AAP panel to a mounting bracket is identical.

4.Power on all devices.

Rear Panel Setup

All of the connectors and DIP switches necessary for connecting and configuring the CTL208CM are on the rear panel (figure 2-7).
