- Choose placement of the hub to be within 6’ of a GFCI outlet, ideally on the side of the house near the utilities, or on a stake/post. It must also be 30” above the ground to avoid exposure to water/snow/other elements. Install hub where Wi-Fi connectivity is strong. Note: Allow space above the mounting plate to allow the Hub to be installed and removed as needed.
- Separate the mounting plate from the hub. Pre-drill holes and then using screws provided, screw in the mounting plate by using a drill bit or phillips head screwdriver.
- Attach the power cable and connecting cable to the hub. Do not mount the hub on the mounting plate yet as you will need to scan the QR Code on the bottom of the hub to connect to Wi-Fi.
- Clip the Ferrite (provided) onto the connecting cable as close to the Hub as possible.
Note: If mounting onto brick or other masonry, concrete anchors and an appropriate drill bit will be required.
