Mounting

Mounting dimensions are provided in millimeters (mm).

Mounting Notices:

• Do not install near water or moisture. Maintain relative humidity between 5% and 95% without condensation.
• Confirm the supported power supply specification before powering on to prevent over-voltage damage.
• The device surface may become hot after running; avoid direct contact to prevent scalding.

Wall-mounted Device Mounting:

For Model I, II:

1. Place the device on the wall for reference or use the mounting dimensions to mark two screw positions.
2. Nail M4 screws into the wall, leaving a 2mm interspace.
3. Hang the device onto the screws, slide it downwards, and tighten the screws to enhance stability.

For Model III, IV, V, VI:

1. Install the left/right mounting board onto the device backboard using M3 screws.
2. Place the device on the wall for reference or use the mounting dimensions to mark two screw positions.
3. Nail M4 screws into the wall, leaving a 2mm interspace.
4. Hang the device onto the screws, slide it downwards, and tighten the screws to enhance stability.

Wall-mounted Device Disassembling:

1. Power off the device.
2. Unscrew the wall screws by approximately 2mm.
3. Lift the device upwards slightly and remove it.

Power Connection and Operation

Notice Before Power On:

• Power ON operation: First, insert the power supply terminal block into the device's power supply interface, then plug in the power supply contact to power on.
• Power OFF operation: First, unpin the power plug, then remove the power line. Please follow this order.

Power Supply Connection:

For Model I, II:

Provides 1 DC power supply input via a 3-pin 5.08mm pitch terminal block. The power supply supports non-polarity and anti-reverse connection. Power supply range: 12-48VDC.

For Model III, IV, V, VI:

Provide 1 DC power supply input terminal blocks. V+ and V- are for DC input, and FG is for power grounding input. The power supply supports non-polarity. Power supply range: 12-48VDC.
