Installation

Use the following instructions to install and wire your touchpad.

Guidelines

Mount the touchpad in an environmentally controlled area (32 to 120°F or 0 to 49°C).

When mounting the touchpad, allow at least 3 inches below it for the swing-down cover.

Do not exceed the maximum available power. See the panel installation instructions for maximum available power.

Table 1 describes the power used by the touchpad.
