MOUNTING
The Power Grid System Controller should be mounted in a
sturdy, dry location that does not expose the unit to extreme
heat. It is designed to be mounted on top of the PN 7720
Power Grid Ignition. Be sure to mount the Power Grid System
Controller so the USB connector and Micro-SD card are
accessible. The unit comes with thread-turning (aka. Self-
tapping) screws that will cut into the walls of the pre-drilled
holes on the top corners of the Power Grid-7. If the Power
Grid System Controller, PN 7730, is not being mounted on
top of the Power Grid-7 the unit should be secured with the
supplied hardware.
Note: Insecure or otherwise improper mounting of the unit
could result in damage or failure. Always make sure
the unit is dry, avoids unnecessary excess vibration,
and is not exposed to extreme heat.
