Use the information in this manual for installing the ScreenLogic® Interface Wireless Connection kit contents.

• For ScreenLogic Interface system operating instructions, refer to the ScreenLogic Interface User’s Guide (P/N 520493)

ScreenLogic® Interface Wireless Connection Kit
The ScreenLogic® Interface Wireless Connection interface consists of an indoor and outdoor wireless 2.4 GHz transceiver. Note: The transceivers ship from the factory as a matched pair. The ID numbers on each transceiver must be the same number to function correctly. Transceivers are replaced as a matched pair. For more information, call Customer
Support (880) 831.7133. The transceivers provides a wireless connection between the ScreenLogic Interface Protocol adapter and the IntelliTouch® or EasyTouch® Control System Load Center located at the equipment pad. This wireless connection eliminates the existing hard wire connection from inside your home to the equipment pad.

The Transceiver is a two-way radio device with an attached antenna that communicates to and from the IntelliTouch or EasyTouch Control System. Mount the transceiver at a convenient location (on a flat vertical surface) near the load center at a minimum of 5 feet above ground level to optimize the transmit and receive operating range.

1. Remove the two retaining screws located on the underside of the transceiver case. Slide the case off the back plate.

2. Position the back plate against the mounting surface so that the transceiver is oriented in an upright position with the antenna pointing upwards. Use a pencil to mark the four mounting points. Drill four 3/16 in. diameter holes into the mounting surface and insert the four plastic anchors provided in the kit.
   Note: To avoid signal interference, mount the transceiver a minimum of 10 feet away from the load center, any metal
   surface/structure, or air blower located in the immediate area of the equipment pad.

3. Position the back plate over the mounting points and secure it with the four mounting screws provided in the kit.

4. Carefully position the transceiver circuit board into the mounted back plate. Route the connection wire down through the lower exit hole (left side) at the bottom of the back plate. Carefully pull the wire out the lower hole and position the circuit board in the back plate.

5. Position the transceiver circuit board to the left side of the back plate, and slide the case over the circuit board and antenna into the back plate. Secure the circuit board in the case using the two retaining screws.
