Placement

It is recommended that the AC-8CX be placed in a location easily reached when manually operating the other controls in the system. There should be a clear line of sight between the operator and the unit to allow easy user feedback of system status. The AC-8CX should be placed on a flat, stable shelf or platform or, if desired, can be wall mounted. See the following section for directions on wall mounting. IMPORTANT: Be sure to follow the "Safety Precautions" in the front of this manual to ensure proper product performance and safety.

Wall Mounting

Once you have decided where your AC-8CX should be placed, you may wish to permanently mount it in that location. Mounting screw slots are provided on all AC Series iPOWER™ products for such purposes. On the back of each unit you will find a series of L-shaped slots designed to accommodate mounting screws. The L-shape of the openings allows for both vertical and horizontal positioning of the unit. Additionally because the screw hole distances are uniform you can rotate the unit without having to reposition the screws (see illustration).

After you’ve located the desired positioning you can mark the distance between the screw loca- tions using the special indents found on your AC iPOWER™ unit (see illustration).
