Installation method

Installation diagram:

Installation steps:

Use the 6 mounting holes in the wall bracket according to the diagram and mark the corresponding positions on the wall with a marker;
Drill a hole in the solid wall to the same size as the expansion tube b, approximately 10mm in diameter and 50mm in depth, according to the location markings;
Insert the expansion screw a through the bracket, attach the expansion tube b and the header c in turn and turn until half-loose;
Place the expansion screw in the hole and tighten it with the hexagonal spanner, the expansion tube b will be hung on the wall after the force is applied;
Place the lugs of the 8-channel charger into the recesses on either side of the hanger to complete the installation.
Note: If mounting this charger on a stand, take care to keep a distance of 10cm or more between the top and bottom chargers.
