According to the position of the reserved wires on the wall, stick the wall-mounting template vertically to ensure that the wires can come out of the shadow position of the template. Drill (6 mm drill bit required) four screw holes with a depth of 25mm in the screw holes of the template. |
Insert four plastic wall anchors into the holes. | Fix the wall-mounting bracket on the wall by tightening four STx20 screws to the plastic wall anchors. |

Warning
When you connect a device containing a coil, such as a relay or an electromagnetic lock, it is necessary to protect the intercom against voltage peak while switching off the induction load. For this way of protection, we recommend a diode 1 A / 200 V (included in the accessories) connected antiparallel to the device.
